athlete The average citizen who

the development in a runners condi-
ton is the racing that he engages in.
"Another race will put him right is
an expression often heard at athletic
gatherings, but the ordinary man does
not realize that there are hours Of
hard work ana dozens Of little things
IT, be done in preparation before AN
other race" comes.
Take kolomainen, for instance.
There never was Il youth more care
ful Of his condition than this lad
from Finland and a study of his
methods will invariably bring out the
comment: It's no wonder he's n
