A FOur-Yea Beating.

IRON 1882 to 1886 the Pennsyl-
- vania runner took it right in the
middle of the chin. He saw big
crowds cheering Cunningham or
Bonthron as he staggered in 10 or Is
yards behind their finish.
I was among many who hoped that
/ Venzke would retire or try longer
distance. He can run all day. But
|. Venzke had different ideas on the
subject. After his collapse in 1882
he stuck to the steady job of taking
bad beating through 1888, 1884
and 1885. He had no alibis-no ex-
cuses.
In the meanwhile another Olympic
festival approaches. They were mud
ding over the middle distance run
| ners and there was some argument or
doubt that Venzke would have even
an outside chance for the team.
In some way he found that lost
squirt. He always had plenty in the
way Of heart and stamina. But they
kept outrunning him down the stretch.
| There wasn't much doubt about where
he belonged a few nights back when
he cracked the world indoor record
| for $500 meters, breaking $3.50.
1t took Mike Sweeney's young
product of 1882 just four years
of the hardest sort of work and
the toughest type of training to
move up to his promised place.
Not many in sport would have taken
this much beating. For there happens
to be world of beating in a mile
race, run as it is today.
IT MIGHT be mentioned in this
connection that America can use
a good 1,500-meter runner at the next
Olympics.
| 1t has been a long time since the
United States of America has had any
one good enough to compete with the
Nurmis or Beccalis who have been
running away from our best milers.
Whatever happens. Venzke has
moved into support. And you'll still
hear from Cunningham-and from a
better all-around middle distance field
than we've had in some time.
