before any arguments are started
assure you that Kelly will not run
at the Central meet. Let me explain
to you why he will not compete. !
have been training Kelly on def
| mite system that will lead Kelly to
arrive at the top of his form at ma
| turity. He has just barely reached
eighteen years of age and too many
hard races at this time would sap
him of his strength and retard his
development He is quite delicate
| boy and will not stand the campaign
| Ing that q mature man could Stand.
Kelly has done but little training this
winter, running in two races without
preparation and training a week for
the Tabs 300. l did intend that ne
should compete all winter in the va
rious 300-yard races to acquire speed
and running generalship, but In the
week previous to the Tabs meet It
was necessary to drive him to such
an extent that he has just recovered
from it. Another such race in SO
short period would be highly in
furious to his health and perhaps
hurt his chances this summer, as
Kelly is at his best outdoors. While
have said that believe that Kelly
can beat Lagay at 440 yards, | do not
think that a race at this time would
be of sufficient moment to upset
well-arranged schedule. If not be-
fore, Kelly and Lagay will meet in
the Junior National 440-yard cham
pionship this summer when the tenn
porary question of supremacy will be
decided. Should any club put on a
match race this summer between
/ these two at any park but Hillside,
Kelly will run. l trust that you real
lie that it requires more than excite
ment and gameness to run race or
this kind and that is condition; and
1t requires more moral courage to
stay out some times than to go in.
Sincerely yours,
HARRY A COATES.

Kelly gives promise of becoming
great runner, and Coates is taking
exceptional pains with him. In the
race at the Tabs he showed suf-
ficient flight of speed, with his handi-
cap, to keep him in the lead until
about a half lap from home when
Sheppard was going so fast he was
running over everybody That Mel
fouled Kelly there isn't a doubt, but
that Mel was also the best man in
the race that night is just as certain.
With Kelly and Myer out of the race,
it would have been a great struggle
between Sheppard and Holland. Hal
can beat Sheppard up to 220 yards,
but after that it looks as if Mel has
the speed.
