INDIANS HARD AT WORK i FOR THE SPRING EVENTS j Coach Warner of Carlisle School Has Arranged Event to Exploit Famous Redskins. Coach Glen S. Warner of the Car lisle Indian school has announced his field and track schedule for the spring. The events as arranged will give good scope for the exploitation of the fa mous redskins. For the 100-yard dash, Mount Pleas ant, the world-famous quarter-back, will be a leading candidate, as Rogers, last year's best man, has been gradu ated. The broad jumpers will be Thomas and Mount Pleasant. At high jumping, Thorpe, a coming Indian star; Thomas and Exendine will com pete, and at pole vaulting, Mitchell who did well last year, will try again. The school has lost Nicodemus Hilly, who was successful at the ham mer throw, and there are but few men for Warner to work on. Gardner, Afraid-ol'-a-Bear and Aiken will com pete, however. There is no scarcity of strong material for the shot-put, as Afrald-ol'-a-Mear. Exendine, Thomas and Thorpe are all candidates. Schan andore. the best Indian hurdler, has also left Carlisle, but Thorpe, who has strength of an all-around variety, takes well to the hurdles. On the half mile race list of candidates the names | of Two-Hearts and lilack Star, of the old team, and several new candidates appear. Corn and Hunt, both of last year's running team, will try for liie mile and two-mile courses. Several new men who have not been on the teams before, but who are ex pected to show up well, have been particularly encouraged by Coach Warner to run, but it is too early to note any development. The board track on the school athletic field, which has been erected at a height above ordinary snows, has been a great help in getting the men into con dition. The Indians' track and field sched ule follows: April 18, annual cross country race; April 25, relay races at Philadelphia; May 2, annual interclass meet; May 9, State College vs. Car lisle Indians, at State college; May 15, Syracuse university vs. Carlisle Indians, at Elmira, X. Y.; May 23, tri angular meet, Swarthmore, Dickinson and Carlisle Indians, at Carlisle; May 30, Intercollegiate State Champion ship meet, at Harrisburg. The Carlisle Indian baseball prac tice is going on with bright prospects. Ratting and infield practice has been the order in the cage for the past two weeks. Coach Warner has cut his baseball candidates down to 30 in number. The leading candidates for the positions are: Catchers, Waseuka, .lames Garlow, Newashe; pitchers, William Garlow, Thorpe, Eaglemen, Miller, Pete Houser; first base, Newashe, Joe Libby, Jordan; second base and short stop, Balenti and Twin; third base, Nevins; outfield, Hen dricks, Young Deer, Twin and several new men, who are liable to take to ttoe lield. ~ CHINESE ATHLETE A GREAT SPRINTER EN SUE PUNG BROKE WORLD'S RECORD FOR 50-YARD DASH AT HONOLULU. NEW MARK IS SET AT :05 1-5 Diminutive Oriental Trained in Y. M. C. A. Gymnasium After High i School Hours —Record Will Not Be . Recognized by Amateur Athletic J Union of America for Certain Rea sons. When diminutive En Sue Pung won the 50-yard dash nt the third annual field day (if the Chinese Athletic club in Honolulu recently, he broke tin* world's record by doing the distance in 5 1-5 seconds, but his record will not be recognized by the Amateur Athletic Union of America on account of the & >% 1 0 O % Honolulu clubs not being affiliated with the union. The 50-yard run is not practiced in Great Uritain or the col onies, so that Honolulu claims the j honor for En Sue Pung by reason of j his lowering the American record. The j American record for the distance is :05 2-5, and was made by Victor S. i Rice of Chicago in 1904. W. 11. Eaton of New York tied thla record iu 1905 CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1908. and a year later R. L. Murray of St. was also given a mark of:05 2-5. On February 20, 1904, Victor Rice of the University of Chicago, in Bartlett gymnasium, ran 50 yards on a rubber mat indoors and established the Amer ican record. On the same day that he lowered the 50-yard record. En Stie Pung won j the 100-yard dash in 10 3-5 seconds, ! which is only fair time for that dis- i tance. The event in which lin Sue won ! the island championship was run off I as follows; J. Woo took the first heat, i from C. L. Hook and S. C. Pung, in j :05 4-5. John Lo annexed the second j trial, finishing ahead of En Sue and \ L. Enpui. En Sue got a poor start in this heat. The time was:os 4-5. In j the final, however, En Sue ran like a champion, beating Lo and Woo in th • record-breaking time of:05 1-5. All three got off to a very good start. En Sue also won a solid gold medal for making the greatest aggregate number of points, 28, at the meet. ■' * Y I MANY BASEBALL RECORDS I OF INTEREST TO FANDOM Greatest number of runs in a game—Chicago vs. Cleveland, July 24, 1882, Player who played in the greatest number of games—Barrett of Detroit, IC2 games.

The Chinese in this country are just ly proud of En Sue's athletic prowess, and a writer, who signs himself, "A Sojourner from Honolulu," takes ex ception to the many erroneous stories which are being printed about En Sue and the attempts to ridicule his meth ods of training. He writes: "Judging from newspaper articles j which I have recently read in the daily papers En Sue Pung's record and I his routine of training are much in I doubt in the minds of the Americans. ! His mother and father are natives of j China. They are both about five feet j in height and weigh between 125 and | 150 pounds. En Sue is a trifle heavier ' and taller than either of his parents. | He is at present attending the high i school in Honolulu and all his train i ing is obtained after school hours in j the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. The Y M. C. A. there is under the manage ment of American graduate instruc tors. En Sue rides a bicycle and has a morning paper route." FDR MOTS MUSCLES FIRST STEPS TOWARD MAKING A HEALTHY ATHLETE OF THE: AMERICAN BOY. TEACH HIM ATHLETIC PLAY Child's Physical Training a Pressing Parental Duty—Exercises Must Be Fun—To Keep Baby at It. BY ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE. [Athletic Bxpert of New York Kvemot World; Author of "Muscle Building." etc. J There is perhaps no more abused word In the language than "athletics,"" and the traditional athlete has but. himself to thank for the reputation his hobby has gained. For, instead of taking; up the subject in r. sane man ner. the average aspirant for athletic honors is prone to make his hobby an Idol at whose shrine he sacrifices a number of very good and very useful things. Among these are time that should be otherwise employed, money that would better be saved, and — greatest and most useless sacrifice — health. Abuse of Athletics. Now every one of these sacrifices Is unnecessary. The boy who cannot become an athlete without squander ing his allowance and his study hours on it and risking his health i.'t not lit to be an athlete. Athletics should iic a health giver, cot a health destroyer, and proficiency in it is within U»e reach of the poorest as well as the busi est boy. Opponents of athletics point to the fact that few professional athletes— such as pugilists for instance —live to old age, and that their constitutions collapse at a time when they should be strongest. To such persons the best reply is that pugilism is not athletics. It is sheer, unnecessary brutality. Snch "professionals" are like men who, with just enough money to live on in comfort through life, draw the whole sum from the bank, live like multi-ruii lionaires for a few years and then col lapse into penury. The "professional" uses up his strength and vital energy. V. lie does not make the most of it in first place, but merely forces it by ;»n unnatural process into a condition where it will make a show for a little while. He merely stimulates instead of nourishing it. This is almost as bad as letting tin*- system go altogether uncultivated. Training Imperative. Now true athletics does not consist in using up all one's capital in a few jears, but in investing that capital in such a way as to make it bring in twice as high interest as before and to make it last as long as life lasts. Athletics for boys Is not a mere fad or a "good thing." It is a duty. That fact is realized more generally today than ever before. It is gradually be coming understood that the sallow, hollow-chested boy with the thin neck and the big head develops into a con sumptive quite as often as he develops into an Edgar Allan Poe, and that the alert, athletic lad is far more likely to become a Roosevelt or a Bismarck than to grow into a prize, fighter. Proper and careful cultivation of the body cannot fail to strengthen the brain; nor in most cases can a quick, powerful mind inhabit a feeble, in tended body. In other days the average boy took up athletics more or less against his parents' wishes, lie should do so to day by their positive orders, just as they order him to school and plan his three meals per day. It. is my plan in these lessons to show the American schoolboy how he may become a first-rate, all-around athlete without interfering with his studies, practically without cost and with permanent benefit to his genera' health. If the schoolboy's parents will also take the trouble to follow these les sons they will agree that the course can be only of benefit to their son, and they may acquire u few ideas they can put to personal use. In fact, t.be first steps in the Ameri can schoolboy's athletic career de - pend almost wholly on the parents, for they should begin before the boy is of age togo to school. Start with Babyhood. His education along these lines ought, te begin soon after he is out of the cradle. With such a start be obvi ates all risk of future injury and has the average boy athlete at a sad disad vantage. Pafeuii who would shudder at tfut idea of their litllr- one's being deprived: of flannel next to the skin, or of bis eating sweets between meals, utterly disregard an equally important feature*- of his well-being—the proper training of the baby muscles and sinews. Yet it is largely on these sinews and mus cles that baby must depend for health, and activity fr later years. As soon as baby can be trusted out of his nurse's arms he should be en couraged to roll about the floor, to romp and to exercise every limb. His own arms and legs are still mysteries to him. With these mysteries he should become familiar as quickly aa possible. Always remembering that the I it.tie bones are still soft and pliable and therefore unable to stand strain or fatigue, encourage baby to walk, to run, to swing the arms and to flex. Uj« awkward fingers. Trapeze Play for 3-Year Olds. liy the titne baby is three years old rig up for him in the nursery a sort of trapeze. This may consist of two ran v 1 fig# % I vas straps, firmly fastened in the ceil, ing, and of adjustable length. At the ends of the straps fasten two large rings. Teach the child to hang from these rings by his hands and to swing himself back and forth. He will not regard it as routine ex ercise, but as grpat. fun. The straps must, of course, be high enough to permit of his swinging entirely clear of the floor, upon which (if it will easa. she maternal mind) a mattress may bo laid. The exercise of making the im promptu swing sway back and forth will put into motion nearly every mus cle of the little body. Nor will th» strain of supporting his own weight prove bad for him. He can "hang by his hands" with comfort and a great deal longer than could his grown-up brother, for even a three-montlis-old' child can thus support his own weight with one hand. Horizontal Bar Play. Having accustomed the future schoolboy athlete to the simpler exer cises on his trapeze (and having ac customed him to the theory of propor tion, so that he knows when to lean back or forward to increase the mo tion of the swing), a horizontal bar •may be placed between the straps. Then, besides the swinging, the boy may be taught to "chin himself" tor draw himself up by the arms, so than the chin is on a level with the hnr'i, and may learn to hang by hands an«f, feet from it, drawing the feet up to it: by his own efforts after he has omCi beeu taught to. .Lster on, even tnertb complex exercises, such as the simple* ones taught in gymnasiums, may ba added to the trapeze performance. This trapeze work brings into p'.ay every muscle, making the tendc* tis sues stronger and pliable, :«jafcfng baby graceful and selr-confidwnt. Above all, don't let him Imagine he is beiug made to exercise. Let him think it is a game, and praise his pro ficiency. The exercises on the trapeze may appear difficult. As a matter of fact, fbey are mere play. ALBERT f'AYSON TEUHUNE. Names of States. The name Colorado, as applied to Hie state, comes from the past parti ciple of the Spanish "colorar," l«v cokir.
