Is Marathon No Sport for 'Women, Despite Protest
The Amateur Athletic Union is beset with womon athletes who aro clamoring
to enter competition with men In tho Boston marathon events. So far the associa

Mpirants from Boston Insist that they will run whether granted permission or not.
t All sports should bo open to women, it is nrgucd, but tho association cannot see
t that way. Tho Boston event is a u-mno toot race.

The Finish
f7ono arc (lie polden molars
That flashed on a world at bay;
done is the renal bcarinu
That sticks with the champion's sway;
Flat on his back In the tcsiu
With the tale of his glory done
Merely a mlddle-aatd fat man
Slinking up in the Cuban sun.
Last week as king of the fighters
He looked to a toorW-ioido thrill;
Lord of the burly sluygeis
Who bowed to his maplo skill;
But shuffling on in tho shadows,
He drifts to a distant shore.
Where no one cares to remember
As long as the week before.
The Cry of "Fake"
"I've a proposition to put up," writes
an Innocent Bystander who merely hap
pens to be Interested in the sportive Held.
"In my opinion there is entirely too much
talk of fake, not only among the specta
torswho ore Ignorant but among sport
ing writers, who should know better."
"Tako up," he continues, "the run of
tho sporting game at largo. In almost
jvery instance you win nnu mm tne uori.
has been honestly conducted on the Held.
Wo havo bad any number of Instances In
world's series games alone where thou
sands of dollars were lost by club owners
because tho series was honestly played
and decided bolely upon its r'erlts. The
majority of peoplo now connected with
sport have n fair amount of common
sense enough at least to know that hon
esty pays even more In sport than any
where else for every move In sport Is
under tho glare of eternat publicity."
Undoubtedly
This viewpoint stands upon tho riateau
of Truth. Innocent Bystander is correct
to the ultimate dot. Hero and there
crookodness develops In sport for Bport
Ib conducted largely by human beings and
not every human being extant Is always
as straight as tne anoriest aioiunce ue
tween two points.
But tho vast bulk of sport Is honestly
turned not only because It pays, but be
cause no otner inausiry a u ttuaaiy
watched and Jammed under the great
white spotlight.
There are too many today who believe
that everything is crooked until It Is
proven straight. And a big part of this
belief comes from Ignorance Ignorance
that Is too often fed by sport historians
who havo probably never conslderea tho
harm they were doing to an Industry
that Elves them a living and a good many
millions pleasure and recreation they
could get no other way.
Or, as Henley Almost Said
It matters not how straight tho game.
How on fnej Jewel be the toss,
There's always soma one in tha frame
To whisper of a double-cross,
We ara willing to confess that we have
had our share of guilt In tho above; but
In Justice to the game at large the only
fair system la to wait until crookedness
Is proven and nail that hard-but rather
as tha exception than the outstanding
rule.

of tho American or National League
taking tho full playing power of all three

But tho Nntlonnl League has had 40
years to build up tho American League 15
and tho Feds aro now starting their
second campaign. In which brief tlmo
they hao done wonderfully well; Just as
any cntcrpilBlng set of citizens who have
sumclent kalo enn do well In these bullion

Tho Feds started out to be a major
league and they are well on their way
If they can maintain their presont pace.
But sport Is a matter of tradition and
sentiment nnd time as well as other
things. And besides wo haven't seen suffi
cient Fedcrnl League play to bo any court
of fnnatlcal arbitration. Is that fair
enough?
Starting Something Elst
Sir In our opinion was the Johnson
AVillard light on tho level or not? I'vo
heard that it wasn't, but would like to get
nn Inside tip. n. L. H.
As far aa we know minus any In'ldo
tip Wlllard won a fairly fought fight
bereft of fako. A middle-aged fat man
would bo more likely to stngo n fake In
the J2th or 14th round than In the 2Cth.
In addition to which Johnson's prldo in
rankltiK as heavyweight champion was
nlmost beyond understanding. It meant
moro to his colossal vanity than a great
many thousand dollars would ever be ablo
to buy. And. onco In a while, thero Is a
sporting event settled without any crook
ed attachment, tho opinion of a great
many to tho contrary notwithstanding, us
tho popular phrase 'roes,
"I Intend to get all the money I can,"
announces Mr. Wlllard who in this it
sped hasn't anything on 60,000,000 or
80,000.000 of his fellow cltlrens.
"Wlllard's barkors refuse $3000 a week
to show tho champion" proving ngaln
that while the Ten may have a distinct
edge on the Sword, It la a bush league
piker compared to tho Punch,
Still, thero Is this to be said of Wlllard
In showing him the promoters will dis
play more heacywelght championship flesh
than waa over shown before. Mora by

SCIENCE PLAYS MOST
IMPORTANT PART IN
JUMPING CONTESTS
Athlete, to Excel, Must
Work Out Take-off Dis
tances to Nicety Broad,
High, and Hop, Step and
Jump Events Explained.
ARTICLE X.
An athleto who hopes to excel In the)
Jumping department must at the very
outset havo great patience and must
understand tho scientific! as Well as (he
practical Bide of tho effort. Theory ltt
the broad Jump Is best worked out than
In any other event. The athleto must
know the length of his sprint stride,
nnd so accurate must ho be attar practlco
that he can strike tho take-off fairly
on every trial, and with the left leg aa
tho Jumping one. It Is readily to bo
seen Hint unless the Jumper shall have
iigurcd out to the very Inch, aye, the
very quarter of an Inch, ho will come
a foul on the take-off, or fall to get tho
Joint at all, which Is essential to a clean
driving Jump.
Thirteen atera will usually bring tho runner
properly to the tnke-orr, though It will be found
lor more practical and at tha tame time
impart sreattr confidence to have the atar Ing
place measured, accurately with a Up. Tha
beit runners tako the timo to do tti. tor taey
havo their Jumna o aclentlflcallir worked out
that they tould be at sea any other way. or
the bealnner. however, ha will nnd thai It
pacea from the etart will be found rractl al
enough to net encouraalnr reaulta. To b.lng
tltn left leg on the taka-ott. alart with tba
rlaht foot on the mark mtde IS walking
ftrldce from the take-off. If you have worked
It out properly the left Uk will naturally coma
up on the Joist for tho jump.
To get the proper height for n broad Jump,
practice with a barrier placed about two feet
above the earth and about four feat In front of
tho take-off. Then as ou get the Idea of
clearing this height, ralsa the bar until It
reaches three feet, and later on try the limit
In height, but not at the expense of tha long
eat poselblo glide. Too much height la woraa
than none at all. Your speed at tha Uko-olt
must be sufficient to cast you a great dlatanc.
when the greatest height haa been reached
In tha brotid Jump bring tho two feet together
and draw them up well in front of you a-i
tnough jou were sitting on tho ground with
vour head and chest thrown agalnat your ax
tended limbs. That Is the proper action In the
air. When you feel jourselt taking to earth at
tho end of tho Jump, jou will be ablo to In
cream sour leap by nt least six Inches It you
can get In two snappy kicks upward with your
legs. This added Impetus will net great re
runs ntu'n the knack Is acquired. Prac.lce Is
the only thing to help here Study the form
or Borne experienced man and you will more
readily gel the Idea,
To tell any nno how to high Jump by word
of mouth Is hard The form enn be outlined,
and even then the Jumper will probably be
unable tn get It becauso he may not bo so
constituted. Naturalness In all of tho Jumpa
will be found the best policy. Beek for your
volf tho best w"a, and then stick to that
peculiar form, dunging your atyle will prove
dl lustrous in the high Jump, science plays a
great part also. The Jumper must measure
his take-off place by Mrldlng away from the
bar to that the take-off leg (It may be either
th. right or the left one) will rom at the
proper distance from the bar ao that tho
clearing effort can bo accomplished. Once
the proper stride la acquired tho springy
Jumping muscles will play their part. At
the bar helgut a quick hick of the leg
farthest front the bar will gtve you tho proper
forco to put ou ncroa the lar. llien the fall
to earth tan be done gracefully. Some high
Jumpers prrrcr the roll action tn the off-side
leg kick The roll Is accomplished when )OU
have reached jour greatest height, and con
nlstl. nf a twist of the whole body so that you
face the bar the Instant bofore you begin to
descend on the far-side.
Sottto men Rro built lor high Jumping and
tako to It naturall, while others never quite
grasp the idea. In the broad Jump speed
Is the gieutest factor, and Is In direct con
trast to n clever performance In the V.lgh
Jump where a man Jogs slowly to hla mark
and tnen gives a enappy lean.
Hneed la neccssnrv In tho hop. aterj and
Jump And an In the broad Jump, the take-oft
enn be worked out nicely for tho best results.
Tho form, as In the broad Jump, Is best for
the hop. the step and the Jump, height nnd
speed again ielng the happv combination. Tha
Mnndlns broad jump requires a special bit
of training, as few of tho muacles used In
tha broad will be found useful Squatting a
nttmbtr nf times Is a very good exrclsa. while
take nttempiH at the standing Jump will build
up the arm, chet, abdomen, front leg and
calf muscles. Thero la great wear and
tenr on tho abdominal and front thigh
mi.Kles A tremendous effort tn cast your
weight high In the air and finish aa In tha
broad Jump will be the but fcrm. A mighty
throw of the arms straight over the head will
give sou height while the body at the Instant
of take-off aiinnld be launched forward In the
air. Tha Jumping game la rroat Interesting,
and thero la much greater art than many
Imagine. The beauty of Jumping Is that it
affords tho man whn falls at running a chanc
to land honora onco In a w-hlla it he tralna
propcrl.
