power in his arms undimlnished. But
Lajo.e's legs went back on him-and
Lajoie passed out of the majors and
into the baseball scrap heap.
AS it was with Laioie, so it was with
Wagner. His legs began to falter five
or six years ago and Wagner began
to skid. Keller remained long under
the Ing tent but. of a sudden. his legs
went bad-and he was through. Every ball
player of stardom fingered in major
league line-ups until he day came
when his legs no longer gave their
best, until his leg muscles refused to
stand up under the strain of terrific
diamond tussle. And then that star
passed out.
Maurice Mclaughlin mechanically is
just as brilliant a tennis player today
as he was in the time when he was
winning championships. His arm IS
as good as ever in it's service; his eye
is just as keen in following the ball.
But McLoughlin's legs gave way, in an
athletic sense. two or three years ago
and Mclaughlin no more can climb to
the heights of the tennis world.
The story is told how John Newell,
Pittsburg sportsman of a quarter Of
a century ago, won a big bet on me N
my fight with John L. Sullivan be-
cause he watched a mans legs-and
because he knew what a pair of poor
legs meant.

About 500 Vandy supporters came

Wien all is said and done. it can
not be disputed that the legs are the
most important asset of every ath-
lete
a man with good pair OF legs who
goes in for athletics has won half the
battle: the man whose legs are bad
is the man :, nose hopes of greatness
never will be realized. And when the
legs of once-time great athlete be-
gin t. falter under him. the day is NOT
far distant when he will crumple into
the discard of has beens.'
1t was ever so-and it will always
be that way.
Jess Willard went into the Toledo
fight with Jack Dempsey with legs
poorly trained for the fray. Had Will
lard hardened to the advice of men
who have forgotten more about pugil-
ism than willard can ever know, the
result of that fight might have been
somewhat different But Willard, dis
liking road work and assuming that
the necessity of a good pair of legs
was not great failed to train them
properly. and they ~evolted on fight
day and refused to support Willard
when the blows began to rain againSt

This closes what for a time seemed

the work Of the congress. It is probable,
however, that the actual meeting OF
the allied and German delegates will
not occur until April 28, as the change
in the German plans and the physical
impossiblity OF having the official
lrait OF the treaty ready for presen,H-
ton April q. makes a postponcmcn,

Germany is ready to call for a plebis-
