as to whether | could ever acquire

preliminaries of three rounds each,

bouts in New York and Brooklyn,
and | went through them at the same
speed. In fact | have always follow
ed a policy of speed and aggressive

Must Keep Body Clean.

Endurance really depends upon
keeping up a condition of internal
cleanliness. The influence of food
in this respect l will take up later,
But the right kind of exercise is alb
solutely necessary. One must Keep
the body clean of foreign matter.
Waste poisons or fatigue poisons'
which ever you wish to call them
resulting from the activities OF the
hodv whether mental. muscular or
organic. are something like ashes
and they tend to obstruct or choKe
IN the body, which means the same
as poisoning the body. In the mus
cles they produce the familiar sense
of fatigue. even at the point of aching
If it is severe enough. In the brain
they make it difficult to think, ana
in a sufficient amount will make you
sleep Now, to keep the muscles and
brain and other bodily structures
clean and free from these fatigue
poisons or the ability to sweep them
out of the system as fast as they are
formed. naturally means endurance
And to do this continuously the or
gans that have to do with the circula-
ton and purifying of the blood ana
the elimination of these wastes have
to be right on the job. When you
come right down to brass tacks' or
ganic strength and endurance prac-
tically mean the same thing. Ana
that is why endurance means con-
dition of vigorous health, whereas
mere muscular bulk and temporary
muscular strength may not necessari'
" mean very much in this way. You
NAV be one of the kind of fellows
who are awfully strong for a minute,
"but that does not mean that you are
really sound or that you can pass
life insurance examination. Endur-
ance work is always more beneficiai
from a health standpoint than merely
working for the great muscular
strength. That is why cross-country
running is more healthful than sprint
ing. for instance and tends to build
I'D a constitution that will be vigor'
Gus for years if one takes care OF IL.
In Canada, where distance running
has been the practice ever since l
don't know when. you will sometimes
see gray-haired, gray-whiskered

course you need both strength ana
endurance, but if it is question OF
working for great strength or working
for good endurance, then work lot

Distance Running Good.

If you want to have good, healthy
liver this is the way to get it, along
with wholesome food, and if you want
to be a good, healthy liver. this is
the way to be it, OF course you
can't take too stiff an exercise at first
and continue it very long, but the
more time you spend in some con-
tinuous exertion that is not too ener-
getic, the better will be your endur-
ance and your health. Don't think
that. five or ten minutes of exercise
each day, no matter how good it is,
will give you the same benefit that
YOU will get from an hour at hand
ball The ten minutes of bedroom
calisthenics in the morning will be
beneficial, but it is not enough. Any
exercise that calls for continuous ef-
fort is satisfactory for endurance
building, but distance running is un-
doubtedly the best of all. That is
why athletes who are training for
boxing or other games that do not
call for running at all always do
great deal of road work" as a means
of getting into condition. Running
calls into action the largest muscles
of the body, and even when running
at an easy pace the use of these
large muscles demands vigorous heart
and lung action. To run any distance
even at moderate speed means that
the entire internal machinery gets a
pretty thorough workout, and becomes
stronger because of the exercise, un-
less it is overdone. At the same
time. easy running does not expend
much nervous energy. 1t is like
walking in this respect, for it enables
YOU to get the greatest amount OF
physiological results with the least
cost in nervous expenditure. But
don't run too fast Long distance
races are of course to be taken up
only by those especially trained and
fitted for them.

Thorouqh Training Counts.

II was not long before | came 10
the conclusion that ! naturally had
unusual endurance. But l know now
that il was not so, and that 1t was
simply the result of good thorough
training. Perhaps it was partly the
result of fitting my body for the
strain by thorough physical develop
ment work before | ever took up
boxing, and also partly due to clean
careful living in connection with my
training. ! will say, however, that |
also made a careful study of endur-
ance. The great lesson is that any
one can have endurance. In fact, 1t
is natural. A man is like any other
animal, except that he is better
animal, and if he will do the things
that make for endurance he will have
il. 1t is true that endurance is real
lv a form of strength Of the power
of maintaining continuous strength in
spite of repeated or continued eXer-
ton. But there is great difference
between the endurance and merely
temporary muscular strength. And
one may have considerable strength
without endurance. But it is the en-
durance that counts. Endurance real
" means internal strength. 1t means
pure blood and vigorous funcuonal
organs. In fact, one Of the first
things any young man who desires
to 90 into training to learn is that a
mans real strength does not lie IN
his muscles, valuable and necessary
as they are, but in his heart, hVer'
lungs and the other organs that go TO
make up the department of the IN
terror. | once saw statement thal
Johnny Hayes legs had won him a
certain amount of money and were
therefore worth a stated figure. Tne
fact is that this great runners legs
we're probably not much better thah
those of a great many other young
men. and that what really won mis-
races for him was his superior In
ternal machinery. The legs thefh'
selves would be worth little without
the steam and power behind them to
keep them going. Now, the work OF
developing endurance means that one
is whipping these internal organs in
to shape to do duty
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1916-06-20

but it is much like running in its use
of the legs and in its effects. Many
boxers do rope skipping when in
training. l have personally done
very little of it. up until lately l do
more rope skipping in my training
than | ever done before | left home,
but | can recommend it nevertheless
The same applies to vigorous dances,
like the Spanish dances and some of
the stage dances. A fast game of
handball, like tennis, would be help
full, while basketball or hockey would
be valuable because of the fast and
continuous play. Distance swimming
and rowing are both effective in
building endurance. 1t may be noted
that among those devoted to these
and similar games in which endur-
ance is a factor you will usually find
perfect physical development, but
it is always of the smooth and natur-
al type. The conspicuous display of
building muscles that you find in the
professional weight litter is almost
never found in a man, with good en-
durance 1t would be possible, but
usually is not. And often the man
with only a natural development is
as strong as the other when it comes
to an unusual test like going up q
rope hand over hand or some other
stunt for which the muscular marvel
has not made special preparation.
The limitations to be placed on ex-
ercise for the endurance are much
the same as any other exercise. The
instinct of pleasure in it is the best
guide. Don't force yourself to keep
on with it after the exertion becomes
painful Take it easy and you will
be able to do more next week, and
do it just as easy. 1t is easy to over
do it if you are of a nervous type
and too ambitious. In that case you
might do your training three times
week instead of daily, speaking for
those who are only working for
health. Don't be too heroic. And if
you find running too energetic for
you then try mountain or hill climb
ing. Well, hill climbing is the same
thing. At least you can walk fast.
Or play golf.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1916-06-20

kind of exercise specially useful for
cultivating endurance is important.
You can enlarge your muscles and
build immediate strength by just a
few strenuous efforts each day, one
at a time, without even making your
self puff, and with very little effect
in promoting endurance or strength
ening the internal organs. The pro-
fessional Strong man" of the type
of Charley Chaplin, who has the
muscles for lifting great weights, and
is at the same time exceeding fat is
an example of this possibility. And
the muscular marvel suffering from
dyspepsia, is another example. En-
durance, on the other hand, does not
require strenuous exercise so much
as continued activity. And when
say this, remember that | am writing
not so much for the athlete who is in
training as for the average man who
needs exercise for the sake of better
health. Endurance means health.
And it is the continuous or repeated
eXertion that counts, something of a
kind that will make you breathe and
keep you breathing, and that will
make you perspire. Perspiration and
endurance and also perspiration and
health have a great deal to do with
each other. The work must be suf-
ficiently continuous to keep "the
works" at work for a period of time,
though it does not call for much
strength.
