After Start "With the
Gun," Runner Should
Keep Low for 30 Yards.
Practice Essential for
Speedy Races.
Article VI.
Running a sprint race properly will
come only to those who practice. Tho
value of the start, treated at length In
tho last attlcle of this series, need not bo
discussed here, though it might bo em
phasized that it Is all-Important. A poor
stailer, in a great many cases, means n
poor sprinter. There Is one other con
dition that is worse, and that Is a poor
"finisher." The poor finisher Is the ath
lete who has all the attributes ot n cham
pion nut one. Ho is a grand starter, has
the speed of the wind for T5 raids, then
dies a natuial death lu the brtvsh for the
tape. You meet this athlete evcrywhete.
Ills tiouble is endutnnce. He should be
better tialncd for his distance. And this
trouble will be most difficult to over
come. Speed Is usually acquired after
a comparatively short training siege, hut
endutnnce, if It Is a missing natural qual
ity, will only be developed by hard work.
The distance man will make tho best
sprinter nine times out of ten. The distance
man when pointed for the shorter speed trials
has tho necessary powers of strength. Thla
great distance endurance centred In the
sprint la bound lo net results. Ho may not
liavo the proper action and tho speed at
lirst, but perseverance will accomplish hia
purpose In a surprisingly short time.
. l'le well-coached sorlnter never tries to
beat Ine gun. This Is a careless trick that
win grow fast nnd Is very costly. i:ach false
Hart In tin. too means n yard back of scratih
n each of the two nttempm and dlsquallllca.
tlon fur the third offense. Attempts to bolt
tho starter in most cases aro fruitless, '1 lie
experienced starter knows the Instnnt a mall
Is to break. Just hv wnv nf ninBira.i....
.t the irient Meadowbrook Club Indoor games
here, 'mo of the best startera ln tho country.
John Mcllugli, Irish-American Club, of New
ork. officiated, and the efforts of tomo of
the athletes to steal were laughable. Not one
man at the games beat his gun, a number
weru penalized, ami In the snrrnt several men
ner thrown out entirely for three attempts.
Mcllugh has that Inborn quality of knowing
lust when n man Is "over." and he was not
beaten In anv start if there wero hundreds
nf other starters like hint, the athletes would
bleea hint as a friend, for there would be nn
need of stealing. The men under Mcltugh's
gun nt least those who know him. have ex
plicit confidence In him. They know the other
fellow cannot gain an Inch advantage so far
us false starting Is concerned
Once away rrnm the mark In the sprint tin
athlete should remain slightly crouched until
about Jihvards from the start, when tha
natuml running position should he observed
the early part of the sprint Is the place to
gain ihe necessary momentum. By rapid digs
into the ground at the start, the stride will
soon take up Its work, and then from there
lo the finish It Is a question ot endurance
with an all-Important Jump at the tape. This
jump will win raceB as no other feat could. It
will require a lot of practice, and a barrel ot
reserve energy at the tape, Practice Is the
best policy, as theory may not work out for
each Individual
Long-distance runners and persons
directly connected with this blanch of
athletics have started a squabble oer
tho law incorporated by Ihe Amateur
Athletic Union In the code of rules now
being voted upon by the Boaid of Gov
ernors of the organization, which pro
hibits a marathon runner from receiv
ing nsslstnnco of any kind while com
peting In a race.
"When tho Boston A. A. scheduled Us
annual American marathon run -from
Ashland to Boston on April 19 (Patriots'
Day), it notified all prospective con
testants that each man would be ac
companied by a bicyclist, who would
render lilm all tho necessary assistance.
At tho tlmo tho A. A. U. rules were not In
force. Tho protest ngalnst this regula
tion of K. E. Babb, of tho Boston A. A
and delegate to the National A. A. U
reached Secretary Frederick W. Itublcn,
who, like tho Boston representative, be
lieves a marathon runner should be per
mitted to have an attendant. .Mr.
Bublen advised Jlr. Babb to write all

...., r,w.w...w., ... niu ..iimiuui ll!IUII
asking them to veto the rule covering the
marathon, nnd yesterday he received
word from Boston that the regulation ap
peared to be doomed.
In the meantime, however, another
rule was found In the new code which
gives tho referee thp authority to decide
whether :t rttniiPf can recolvp assistance.
This Is tho regulation which probably
will remain on tho books In place of the
more drastic clause.
