need feel indebted to the kindness of
aarry Rowland. manager of the Row
land Turkish Baths in the Equitable
Building in Baltimore, for he has will
ingly conceded the use of his baths for
that part Of the afternoon necessary to
the athletes who compete.
The runners will be taken in hand by
the attendants at the bath and any care
that they may need, may only be men
toned to the officials there to be grant
ed. Every effort will be made to make
the runners as comfortable as possible
after their grueling race, but the at
tendants will not be allowed In the
building at all. This rule will be strict
1y adhered to, and under no circum-
stances will the attendants be permitted
TO enter the baths.
Last year there was some confusion
on tnls score IN tnlS CITY ana also In
the 1910 race to Baltimore, when at
dNnts made 1t decidedly uncomfort-
able for the bath employees. An officer
will be stationed at the door and only
medical authorities and the officials In
charge of the race will be permitted
to enter.
The showers are at the command Of
the tired and dusty athletes. and as
many as can be rubbed by the attend
ants will be handled at the baths. No
masseurs Of any club will be permit ed
70 get into the baths proper and none
will be allowed in the Equitable Build
ing. This must be clearly underStood.
