But I do know that the batters in our
league do not practice hit and rum
ming. Ty Cobb is the greatest hitter
the world has known, but he is no hit
and-run batter, for the reason he has
not given it any attention to speak
of. The tendency of all the would-be
hit-and-run batters is to hit the ball
as hard as they can, and trust to luck
to it going safely. The true hit and
runner like Foster. however, has the
knack of Just meeting the ball and
making a real effort to hit it through
the territory vacated by the fielder who
goes to cover the base.
But, up to date, the hit-and-run
play, as it is attempted in the Ameri
can league. is little to be feared"

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25. =
Training for the mile run has
been given the most scientific
study by Norman S. Taber,
worlds record-holder for that dis
lance, and in explaining his meth
DDS he skaters many approved
tenents still chung to by his less
speedy competitors.
He believes, for instance, that
an athlete training for the mile
may eat practically anything that
agrees with him.
ITO run a mile" he says, "a
man must maintain his strength
by eating solid food that will
build up endurance. The old way
of training on toast and light
foods would not suit the athlete
of today"
Cross-country work to begin
with; a steady application to the
process Of developing endurance;
then sprinting at intervals, and
finally daily combination of dis
lance running and sprinting, is
Taber's advice for men training
for the mile.
Taber was a member of the Ok
ford relay team that competed at
the Pennsylvania games last year,
and a student at Brown univer-
sity prior to that. In 1918 he won
the national mile championship.
