the preceding exercise. While in
this position, the hurdler finds it
difficult to keep from tipping to the
left. Now the hoy bends to the right
as far as possible. Practice will
make it possible for the right elbow
to touch the ground at the far side
Of the extended right knee. The
youth now swings his arm back and
forth SO that the body is twisted
while being bent sidewalks. There
is nothing better than this exercise
for both high and low hurdlers.

It down forcibly. To perfect the
po1ition Of the right leg In coming
over the hurdle, it is well to stand
erect and raise the leg sideward with
knee bent. With his hand, the
hurdler pulls upward on the leg
without injuring himself. From this
position the leg can be shot forward
and downwards in the same manner
1t goes over the hurdle.

twisted, time must be wasted in
Strengthening it, and even if tenth

there are 10 barriers, and that means
an entire second lost.

and must not be permitted to
stretch out to the side at an angle.
While the right arm and left leg
are out in front, the right leg is
being snapped around in readiness
for quick, powerful stride the
moment the left foot strikes the
ground. It therefore passes over
the hurdle parallel with the ground
the toe extending to the side, also
on a line with the hurdle. This
forms a right angle at the crotch
and the right knee is bent in an
other such angle. The leg carries
forward motion and must not be
dragged over the hurdle.
!, Once above the hurdle, the rum
ner thrusts his left leg directly
downward instead Of extending Il
out in front for distance, for time
is made on the track rather than
in the air. The right knee starts
dip at the same time SO that it
can be in position for the important

Der Of successful managers, and /
might add, that none of them en-
ployed exactly the same system in
the handling Of their men.
l have discovered that with the
ball player who is loyal, the honor
system is by far the best way to
take care of his department off the
ball field. Put the issue squarely
up to the player as to his behavior
and if he is q regular guy he is
going to do the right thing.
There will be no set retiring hour
for the Cleveland athletes, although
it is my thought that every player
should be in bed before midnight.
If man fails to observe proper
rules, his playing soon suffers and
in the end he pays the penalty.

Minnesota Islands
Are 'HOmeSteaded'

Minneapolis, Mimi. March 1.-(R
Having a little island in the fam
lily is not at all difficult in Min
nesota, LAND Of ten thousand
lakes There arc SO many islands
there the state cannot keep track
Of them.
One lake alone - Lake Vermilion
has 365 islands, many Of which
have not formally been "discov-
cred" for registration purposes as
state property. They may be ac-
CURED by the scEpt method, much
the same rs proving a homestead
claim.
The only string attached to the
islands in Lake Vermilion, which is
in the iron mining region, is that
mining companies hold the mineral
rights, and are privileged to force
the sale of any island when they
choose to mine ore.
Many of the Lake Vermilion
islands have been bought for 500.

Here's the way to learn a great
secret in hurdling:
The next time you see a race be.
tween champion hurdlers, hold your
hand before your eyes so that you
cut off all but their heads and you
will note that men seem to be sprint
ing down the track-there is no rise
and fall in the heads as the men
clear the hurdles.
That's because hurdles aren't
jumped. The whole idea in success
full hurdling is to get over the bar
riers with the least possible waste
Of time or energy. So the following
form is used:
In clearing the hurdle, the body
is leaned or dipped forward as the
left (hurdling) leg is lifted straight
up toward the chest 50 that for the
fraction of q second the thigh and
chest either touch or are close to-
gether. That's why there is nc
bobbing. If the body is held erect
the hurdler soars beautifully, but
he seems to haveIa hard time get
ting down to earth again.
The right arm is thrust straight
ahead, parallel with the extended
left leg. This Is to carry the body
face forward without any body
twist as the hurdle is cleared. The
secret of hurdling is to land on the

probably will be accorded recogni-

When the boxers enter the ring
they will be rated equally to take the
victory, despite Heeney's advantage
Of some 20 pounds over Delaney. In
doping out the result for this fight,
the majority of ring critics have
straddled the fence.
Many observers feel that Delaney
must knock out Heeney within the
first six or seven rounds if he is to
win. The New Zealander is consid.

ment for the sake Of wearing down
his opponent. Heeney never has
been counted out.
Tonight's bout might well be
labelled as the battle of the domin-
ions. Delaney. who now has made
Bridgeport his residence, is
French Canadian.
Delaney scales about 176 pounds
to about 1876 for his opponent.
Delaney will have to rely on his
speed and ring science to overcome
