TT is a great pity that track athlet-
les have not as strong hold
= upon the affections of the public
ID the South as they have in the
Forth This is one of the prettiest
forms OF pure athletic work we have
and one OF the worthiest, and from
the point of view Of sound common
sense anything accomplished in most
any one Of the recognized track or
field events ought TO count for as
much as does the work Of a football
hero like Brichley or baseball idol
like Cobb.
An Olympic winner of the hundred
or of the Marathon or the Penthalon
is esteemed a deal more highly by
folks OF foreign countries than are
the stars of any other game of either
their land or ours.
American Rugby football and base
ball are peculiar to this country, and
We go wild over them. One would
think that we also would esteem
highly an athletic event that was
recognized as standard the world
over, such as running or jumping;
for in the former sports our cham
pions can only be champions among
ourselves, and never world beaters-
since they can not enter into compe-
tition against the whole world in
either the gridiron or the diamond
pastimes. Surely a championship that
Is worldwide and that has been won
In a sport contested by nearly all the
peoples of The earth is more desirable
and should stand for more than one
In which national excellence only can
be attained.
Now our athletic young men OF the
East the North and the West are
gradually waking up to this fact, and
there is more interest and enthusi-
asm manifested each succeeding year
over the national championships in
track and field sports and in the mat
ter Of preparation for the great Olym-
lar from having caught up with the
band wagon,
While, it is true, we have not as
yet developed many men down here
VINO are capable of doing wonders on

means to be laid entirely to the door

large part the sporting public is to
pane. lf,the public would patronize
lneSe games and take an interest III
cheM as they do in baseball or i'll
football we should soon see a faI
greater number of young men going

resulting.
