BOYS consider the hint a command.
There are many reasons why the news
bows feel Il incumbent upon them to aid
Reich. He. when a newsboy. organized
the hundreds Of barefooted little raga-
mullins that raced through the streets
during the day and prowled about at
night into healthy minded athletic CLUBS.
Reichs education was gathered while sell
ing papers UP and down tho Bowery and
at the Brooklyn Bridge. AS he grew up
he found that he had trained muscles OF
iron. and decided to put them to profitable
use. lie soon became a leader OF the
newsboys and I'm that capacity attracted
the attention of the Sullivsns-"Big Tim.
Little Tim" and "Florrie' When he
became a factor in their district he
showed his appreciation by adopting the
name OF Sullivan.

Gifted with Persistence.

According 10 william. Hans and he
would have competed in the Olympic
games at London four years ago, but
they did not have money enough 70
pay their passage. So they persisted
in their training, winning their reward
In Hans's unriyalled victories at
Stockholm.
Hans could not be made to under
stand why he and William were not
allowed to march ashore with the other
passengers yesterday. His ears still
rang with the glowing accounts of this
new country. which had been told him
by the competing American athletes at
Stockholm. Why should he not step
on this free soil, Hans wanted TO know.
Surely. he was sturdy enough TO carve
out way for himself and fight his
battles.
But it was not to be, and Hans and
William Kolehmainen were forced TO
remain virtual prisoners at the TIRES
hold of the country in which they had
elected TO cast their lot

Real Club Etiquette.

In the clubroom proper fifteen or twenty
long wooden benches were placed before
. large. fat-topped desk upon a raised
platform. Behind this desk sat the leader,
Jos but his name mustn't be used. In
his hands was long sheet OF paper, on
which was crowded lines OF crsmped
writing. Il was the important speech,
upon which he had spent the greater part
Of the afternoon.
|. The orator first painted a most stir
ring word picture Of Jack" He told
them of all the things that he had done
for them and Of more things he intended
30 do lust as soon as he was released
from his cell. At that point the young
leader assured his audience that he had
a fairly straight tip that Jack" would
stroll out of that cell and down 10 the
very club room in few days-wasn't z
question of doubt about it! Every time
the speaker paused to catch his breath
the occupants OF the long benches
cheered, but when he assured them that
their friend would soon be with then
they literally beloved with enthusiasm
The young Demosthenes pointed out
that there were, roughly. about -four
hundred newsboys in the various clubs
and each and every one earned money
enough each week TO put some in the
bank Such q condition existed merely
because their friend Jack" had inter
ested himself in their game" he said
Now then. the thing for them to do wa:
TO contribute anywhere from 81 TO $;
apiece for his aid. If they didn't do that
why, they were no good. And Their
some.
But the sneaker assured them that hC
well knew they would surely stick by
their old friend. Jack Sullivan. He
figured that If the boys did as he sug-
eested the clubs ought TO collect about
81 400 in a little more than a week. II
that did not prove sufficient they would
contribute more
The young leader then closed the
meeting and wandered about among tho
boys to inquire their sentiment about
the matter He was rather disappointed
Although the hall had rung with cheers
he learned that there were many who
could not seem to understand why they
ought to part with any Of their money
to help anybody who deliberately got
himself into trouble with the police. But
the majority promised that they would

direct ard he shakes hands with a
hearty, viselike grip.
Hans and William were born in the
little town Of Kuopio, Finland. Their
father was a builder, and both sons
have adopted their fathers trade. They
never suspected they possessed muscles
OF steel, muscles which were destined
TO win world fame for one Of them. 1t
was not until they read reports Of the
Olympic games eight years ago, when
both were small boys that they first
took an interest In running.
Then they began to run over the
roads Of Kuopio. always timing them
selves and noting their improvement.
BY these crude methods the boys grew
I'm speed and stamina, until four years
later they were as swift as the great
runners they had read about.

In High Society.

With local power came renewed interest
in his former companions the newsooys.
He founded the Ncwsboys' Athletic CLUB
at No. "A East 18th street. Armed with
letters OF introduction and his ever ready
sharp wit and intelligence. he called upon
such men as August Belmont, Randolph
Guggenheimer, Peter +. Collier Harry
Payne Whitney and Herman \. Metz ana
from them obtained sufficient funds 10
build for his newsboys gymnasium
reading room and dormitory.
After a while Reich entered many prize
fighting rings and stepped out of them
with a reputation and a well filled purse.
But he soon gave up fighting and settled
down TO aid the Sullivans in their dis
trict. lie became local politician. Each
year. however, he organized benefit for
his newsboy friends. Nearly every popu-
lar comic opera and vaudeville star. well
known baseball players and hghtins men
appeared and did their stunts.
1t did not take long before Reich be-
came TOO familiar with many OF the men
in his district whose livelihood depended
largely upon doubtful methods, and then
he got into trouble. In 1906 he was called
to account BY Carol Aronivici, superin-
tendent of one OF the, ncwsboy institu-
tons, who declared that Reich was Civ
ing the property OF the institutions as Sc
curity when signing bail bonds for women
arrested for lettering on the streets.
For years the Downtown Newsboys
Club has been considered the headquar-
ters for all because OF its proximity TO
Park Row. Two nights ago one of the
Young leaders OF the newsboys at the
Brooklyn Bridge sent out word that all
should meet there and listen TO something
