and grace rarely eQualcd by men; that
she can outrun the average young man
one meets on the streets; that she can
turn handsprings, stand on her head
and swim tank.
'Of course athletic women make good
mothers said Miss "Bobbie." why
shouldn't they? They are healthy. and
they have sense enough to want their
children to have the same advantage Of
open air and physical exercise as they've
had. Besides, no athlete can be in
tolerant. He or she always has to
respect the other fellow-anl how can
YOU possibly do that and be intolerant?
In athletics you are entirely on your

haven't measured up, and must give
credit to the girl who wins. When
anybody says that women are poor

to me they have more determination
than men-they want to win more-but
they know how to lose. too"
And she tagged on To that:
"lf Betty SChenkCl beats me, why
should | be a bad loser? I'll do my
best, and | want her 10 do her best,
Nobody can ask any more from either

'Bohbie" has never run anything
but the 50-yard dash, and her best
time is 40 seconds. But she is n
shade the better Of Betty in the stand
ing broad jump. Miss Ranck has made
s feet inches, while Miss Schenkel's 5
best is feet.
But any comparison of records be-
comes the least satisfactory speculation,
in the light Of the fact that both girls
are improving each day.
In the gym ''Bobbie" had beaten all
comes. At the A. A. L. meet this
spring at the Turner's she captured first
and n large cup for work in the gym
nastic events. She was first in the
track and field events in the meet of
the American Gymnastic Union last
June. She has the highest award for
the year among girls in the Turner
classes, and she received just recently
a gold medal for fencing.

Some day maybe women will whip
the men in gym events" she believes.
just now the difficulty is that women
are not so strong as men. In work on

needs strength and cleverness. Women
are as clever as men, they often show
better form, but they are rarely as

II is not so OnerOuS task to pick
out the influences which have led Miss
Ranck to a whole sOuled affection for
athletic competition. 1t might be the
pathway for "any girl, provided parents
in the early years of their girl child
exhibit degree of intelligent direction.
Mr. and Mrs. Ranck, once they dis.
covered that their daughter appeared
to be in delicate physical condition, un-
derstood that it was just as necessary
to develop the girl body as it seems to
be to develop the boy body. With her
privilege to compete in athletic work
she was able to develop the boy interest
along with her girl interests. And
iudging from her work and from the
impression one receives after a casual
conversation with her she has fortu-
nately arrived AT happy mean-graced
with a mind as charmIngly feminine az
those lovely ladies of the Victorian era,
and with body as healthy as any
frecklcd- faced boys.
Comes, strangely enough. at this late
moment word from Miss Eetty Schen-
kels manager, Jack Roden, who says
that under no circumstances "will hts
athlete" compete in gymnastics. He
says she welcomes competition in all
the legitimate track and field events and
that she will be ready to meet any
woman Immediately after the Pennsyl-
vania system outdoors championships,
September %, at Altoona.
This doubtless will bring down Bob

Somehow I've been winning a lot OF
things-and ! want to see what | can

RiUals Are Friendly
and Unusually Modest

And so it appears from the above
statements that, although the re-
spective managers" of these two
jolly girls and the host of friendly
fans have praised their ability to the
very heights, the athletes themselves
are from a figurative Missouri and
they are Just as much surprised over
the challenge and the answer as
any one is, and really just as in
terested.
At any rate they will compete
soon. And both, extraordinary ath-
letes though they are, will be content
that one will remain the champion
Of Philadelphia at least.
"Once we, in a friendly way, de-
eide who's best in Philadelphia, then
we'll invite anybody else to a con-
test" is the conclusion the girls
have arrived at.
"I'm pretty good at gym work"
says "Bobbie." 81 can do some tricky
things on the horizontal bars, and
the parallels, and the rings. But l
can't box much. Oh, can get about
with the gloves on, but I'm not so
much. As matter Of fact, I don't
like to box. I don't like my face to
get all hit up. I'd rather SWIM"
From Betty's quarters comes a
faint tinge of hesitancy and trepi-
dation, too.
'Ive boxed some with my two
brothers," says Betty, "but 'Bobbie'
Ranck will walk away with me in
i, gym work."
y Cant say as I can swim very
well," submits Betty, even glow
lhgly. "But I like basketball"
IF Betty means that one of the
sports is basketball. I don't think
that's entirely a fair test" comes
information from "Bobbie." "This
meet ought to be a personal meet.
Nobody can tell how we'll a person
plays If there is a whole team to
pay with. II Betty wants me to

And so the shrapnel flies. Both
girls are extremely good sports.
