hard for the athletes TO refuse dainty
cakes II the like when the stuff was
poked under their noses by the tip
seeking servants between meals.
The forms of exercise used to keep
the athletes in shape while at sea are
various. The sprinters, Of course, can
do no real fast work. but easy starts
and "prancing'' keep their leg muscles
supple. Jogging is about all that the
distance runners a do. The field men
aim to keep in good condition generally
by every sort Of exercise stunt they
can pick up around the deck; the shot
putters being the only ones that can
get in any real work.
Boxing and wrestling are great stunts
on shipboard because the athletes can
go In at top speed, and get warmed
up, without running any danger OF
being hurt. On the Athens trip In 1906
regular sparring exhibitions were held
on the after deck every afternoon, to
the intense delight of the other pas
sengers on the Barbarossa. None were
more interested in the boxing than a
company of Mexican bull fighters en-
route for the King of Spain's wedding.
They marveled at the skill Of some of
the Yankee athletes who knew how to
handle their fins, and promptly pro-
ceeded to take lessons in the manly
art. Their antics with the gloves were
extremely ludicrous.
On the coming Olympic trip to Swe-
den, which will be made on the steamer
Finland, every possible arrangement
will be made for keeping the athletes
in condition while at sea.

He had a score of 100 in the eleventh

in his twelve frames. He was the only
member of the second squad to roll a
creditable tally, and all the marks in

Conditioning of the Yankee
Athletes en- Route a Problem

one of the most ~perplexing problems
maintaining Americas supremacy in
the coming Olympic games is that Of
keeping the Yankee athletes in CON
dition during the voyage from this
continent to Europe.
The greatest danger TO Il ea-going
athlete is that of gaining too much
weight. Some of the American athletes
who visited Athens in 1906 gained as
much as fourteen pounds during the
trip from New York to the largest city
In Greece. On that trip fully 40 per
cent. of the men who started from
New York on the Barbarossa in fine
condition were no good athletically
when they reached Athens. Some were
hurt and other got sick with a disease
resembling mumps, but the majority
of those who failed to perform up to
their standard in the Grecian games
were simply too fat.
It's a mighty hard job for a healthy
young man with a husky appetite to
refrain from eating while at sea. The
salt air invariably sharpens the cray
ing for food. and more food. The trans
atlantic lines also do their share
toward fattening up the traveller by
serving plenty at meal times, and some
more between meals One of the regu-
lar jobs Of Manager Halpin on the
Athens trip six years ago was chasing
away stewards who bore trays loaded
down with goodies for the athletic
voyagers. In spite of their determi-
nation to keep In condition, It was

desire a better state of affairs. / have

not interfered with. He and Irwin are
old friends. They have a perfect under
standing and there can be no friction.
Irwin will keep on scouting, but he
will not be asked to travel with the

valuable assets. Wolverton wants to
