Many people have wondered why all
these wonderful runners come from
that one little country think it is
easy to explain. The Firms live far
ther away from the modern civiliza-
ton than we do: in other words, they
are more natural than we. and the-J
are the offspring of a sound race. The
F'inn's energy is famous, and the will
power he exerts when he has set
himself a goal is enormous.
Does Not Know Comfort.
OF course, the Firms have used
other methods than those of other
people for long distance training. They
must have used principles rather un-
known to others. One might think
that their training is very complicated,
and that they invent and use details
which other people overlook. but that
is not the case. The training of a
Finnish long distance runner is very
simple. but the feature of this train
ing which brings about such wonder
full results is that it is very thorough.
A Finn does not know the word
comfort when he is training. If he
goes in for a thing he does it thor
oughly; he gives up all his comforts
and pleasures. The satisfaction of
seeing himself getting in better form
day by day is a greater one to him
than any other.
A Finn knows the importance of
quick movements. even for a long dis
tance runner. While other long dis
tance runners use the method of
running around and around on the
track all the time they are training, a
Finn may train for short distances as
eagerly as a sprinter. because he
knows that short-distance training
can also be endurance training when
done intensively.
Let us say he starts % to 30 times
an evening and every time runs so or
so meters; altogether that makes quite
a distance. Or. if he does not want
to drive the short-distance training
to such a degree as running starts
would make it, he may, for instance.
run hard 200.meter runs with some
minutes between each run.
Nurmi Runs Six Sprints.
During the last Olympics watched
Nurmi training one day; at IL am.
he ran 400 meters times with his
watch in his hand. 10 minutes be-
tween each run, and only later in
the day he ran a longer distance.
1t is clear that a man who runs 6
hard 400 meters one after the other
also must get great endurance. and
the speed which he gets through the
sprint training helps him both in the
start and the last squirt.
In the race itself it is also of
great importance. When a man is
accustomed to running with a fast

Man Who Organized National Horseshoe
Championships.

r TERE'S a game that every boy
II in America can get into
a quoits or horseshoes. There
isn't much difference. You'll find
quoits on organized Fairgrounds.
But quoits cost money, and you can
scrape up set of horseshoes for
nothing.
Rules for quoits may apply to
horseshoes. Select piece of level
ground and at each ends feet apart
drive two pegs straight into the
ground, leaving about three inches
above surface.
There are two men to team, one
at each stake. Each team throws
two quoits or horseshoes. Flip a stick,
marked on one side, to see who gets
first toss. The winner throws both
shoes or quoits and then his opponent
throws. And then the two opponents
at the other end toss them back.
Let a ringer count points,
double ringer counts 10 points. II
your opponent then tops ringer he
gets 10 points. If he tops your
double ringer. or throws two ringers
himself his last throw nets Is points.
If the last man to pitch gets two
leaners over ringer he gets IL
points.

|LAST-HOUR RESPITE
FOR 3DOOMED MEN

Stays Death 80 Days for

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, August 13.-With death
in the electric chair a few short hours
away, three men in the death house
of Charleston State Prison last night
received news that they still had 3
months to live.
At the eleventh hour, Gov. Alvan
T. Fuller, who previously had refused
four times to stay the death SER
fences of John j. Devereaux, Edward
J. Heinlein and John J. Mclaughlin.
granted the men respite until No
vember IS that the courts might pro-
nounce on their appeals.
They were convicted of the murder
of James Ferneau, aged night watch
man of the Waltham car barn of the
NfiddleseX and Boston Street Railway,
in hold-up. AT the trial Devereaux
admitted that he dubbed the watch
man to death while his companions
were robbing the car barn office.
The full bench Of the Supreme Court
dismissed exceptions taken by the de.
tense counsel after the trial. Gov.
Fuller then was approached with
pleas for executive clemency based
on the alleged mental condition of
Devereaux. The governor refused to
intervene, or to present the petition,
signed by 10000 persons, to the ex-
ecutive council
The mothers Of the three con-
demned men appealed to the governor
at his Summer home at Rye Beach,
N. H.. without result, and on Monday
the defense had recourse to the courts
by habeas corpus proceedings.

ried out during the present week and
