Of the game is much the same.
There Is more hitting, Of course.
When was with the Cubs we were
winning chaupio pionships with an aver
age Of two runs per game. I believe
the Yankees have an average Of about
seven runs to the game.
II have noticed another change.
Take this club, for instance. These
boys like to work, and have never
seen such spirit. They are out long
before the time at which practice Is

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN.
Editor Journal Of the American Med
ical Association and OF Hygeia,

The records have just been made
available Of special study made IN
the Michigan Safe Normal College OF
the two mile cross-country run as a
form OF athletics for high school boys.
Thirteen boys who were students In
high schools In the state Of Michigan
volunteered to submit to complete
physical examinations 4 week before
the competition. just before. just after
and a week after.
There is no doubt that cross-coun-
try running places a severe strain up
on the tissues Of the body. Extens-
i've studies have been made Of mar
athon runners, indicating a loss Of
weight during competition.
Loss Of Weight
The ages of the high school boys
studied varied from Is to 10 years.
Six of them were underweight. The
average loss OF weight in the two
mile cross-country race for the 13
contestants was one and one-half
pounds, as compared with loss Of
three to five pounds among high
school boys participating in basket
ball and football games. e.,
Five days after the race the aver
age gain in weight for the contestants
was three and one-half pounds. The
heart and lungs Of the athletes re-
manned normal before, during and
after the race.
It is q well established fact that
over -cxertion sometimes Is followed
by appearance Of sugar in the cxcre-
tions Of the body. Two Of the con-
tcstants were found to have sugar In
the excretions Immediately after the
race, but this had disappeared week
later.
Preparation
DR.. l.. w. Olds. who conducted the
tests. feels that the two-mile cross
country run is not too severe trial
for high school runners. but that at
least six weeks preparation is nee
essary and that care must be taken
not to over-work the runners during
the period Of preparation.
Only recently have scientific tests
begun to be made of athletes in vari-
ous fields Of sport. It seems quite OBJ
vious from the highly important re-
suits Of this investigation that such
tests should be made in all sports.
