SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July g.
Jimmy Johnston, the Chattanooga
lad now with San Francisco, is setting
up new stolen base mark in the Pa

stolen over so bases in IS games and
at this rate will steal far more than
100 bases in a season. Jimmy hopes
to make the mark at least 1875 before

never been equaled in the annals of

A sample Of the work Jimmy is do

regarding a game against Venice in
which Jimmy recently participated:

ask the new association to suggest
that a number Of perpetual trophies

FIFTY YEARS Of
ATHLETICS PUTS
AMERICA ON TOP
James c. Sullivan Writes on the
Value Of Exercising for Youths
of United States.
By James E. Sullivan.
Secretary Treasurer of A. A. U. and
Father of Amateur Athletics"


NEARLY half a century has
~ passed since the introduction
Of amateur track and field
sports into this country, and in this
long lapse it has frequently been
asked what was the real object of
those early pioneers of athletics.
It is a question not very difficult to
answer. They wanted fresh air and
exercise for themselves and to set a
good example to the youth Of Amer
lea for after time. 1 allude to men
like the late William B. Curtis, Harry
e. Buermeyer and many others. men
so years in advance of their time. who
foresaw the growing need of physical
development and outdoor exercise.
Had not the wisdom OF these old
timers prevailed, where would Amer
lea be to-day in amateur athletics,
especially with regard 10 our rating
in the Olympic games? Why. we
would be worse off than Russia, Den
mark or Austria, nations which have
not so far produced tirst-rate per-
former either on track or field We
lead the world, and the American
athletes have taken the championship
in every Olympiad since the first re-
vival in 1896
Americans Should Improve.
As to future Olympic fixtures, l see
! no reason why we should not continue
to carry off the point honors. for, to
my mind, we viii continue to grow
| better from year to year, as the eX-
ploration of new districts will surely
produce new material This Intro e.
duction of new material means every
| thing An instance Of the force Of the
last statement is that OF the State OF
| Utah. Ten years ago if man had
talked of a worlds champion coming
! from Utah he would have been ridi
| culed, yet at the last Olympic games
in Stockholm Almah Richards, OF
! Brigham Young University, Utah, was
! the hero Of the running high jump
! and is to-day the greatest natural
| jumper the world has ever seen.
Athletics a Religion.
! For the boys athletics has simply
! instituted an eighth-day religion. as
| it were, 1t has taught him that in
| order to be a success in either track
or field he must be good, morally and
| physically.
To participate In school sports
| nowadays the boy is impressed with
| the idea that he must first of all OBJ
| serve the rules of the sport, and that
| under no circumstances can he use
| abusive language to his superior or to
! another boy. Should the boy be
| guilty of any Of these things there Is
always a referee at hand to disci-
pine him and point out the error
without being harsh or unduIy severe
The honesty of competition Is also
| brought home to the youth. If he
| cuts the course, shoulders another boy
| does not touch off In a relay. he suf-
| fers a just disqualification, and thus
| it is shown TO him. in the most con-
vinCing manner that, after all, hon.
| esty is the best policy,
