HISTORICAL SKETCH The object of this Athletic League is to raise a higher standard of conduct in athletic sports, to unify the physical work of the Associations, and to emphasize the regular legitimate class work In the by-laws will be seen a plan for allowing specialization and records in athletics. The aim of these is to throw emphasis upon the regular class work of the Associations, as men may not be allowed in these competitions until they have spent the equivalent of a year's solid practice in regular gymnasium class work. On this plan it is believed that they will be far more faithful in their regular work, and will attain the all-round de- delopment of their bodies more quickly than they otherwise would ; and after they have secured this all-round training they will be in condition to specialize in some branch of athletics with advantage to themselves, thus gaining for the Association an increased esprit de corps through the maintenance of an athletic team. At the Physical Directors' Conference, held May, 1898. it was suggested that the "general" registration scheme be op- tional, and the "games" registration be the only one required (Sec. 10, Paragraph 6). The Governing Committee adopted this suggestion. _ Particular attention is called to the close and friendly rela- tions between this organization and the Amateur Athletic Unions of the United States and Canada and the Canadian Association Athletic League, as outlined on page 137. In the athletic rules, those of the A. A. U. have been followed as closely as possible, even to the wording. _ In the General Secretaries' Conference held at Orange, N. J., in 1889, there was extended discussion regarding the advantages of the formation of an Athletic League among the Associations. ^Pp". vote a committee was appointed to consider the matter, and, if It seemed wise, to proceed at once with the organization of such a league. The committee consisted of Messrs. James McConaughy, George W. Ehler and George A. Sanford The committee met, but it became evident very soon that the action contemplated was beyond the functions of the Secretaries' Con- ference and belonged to the International Convention and the International Committee, inasmuch as it was of an executive nature. Accordingly the matter was referred with a full re- port to the International Committee, who considered it favorably, but decided that the time was not then ripe for such a movement, FREDERIC B.

FELLOWES MORGAN First Vice-chairman Governing Committee SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. THE ORGANIZATION OF AN ATHLETIC CLUB George J. Fisher, M. D., Secretary of Governing Committee. Athletics are intensely social. Community interest in ath- letic sports has brought many social organizations into exist- ence. Most sports can not be participated in by one individual, but require a group of men to make play possible. Competition requires numbers. The joy that comes from competition is brought about by its relation to others — winning from other men, the honor of representing the school,- the applause of spec- tators, the commendation of friends. These contribute interest and enthusiasm. 1 hen, too, the athlete seldom competes un- attached. He usually represents some club, school or institution. Most of the races he engages in are not indulged in primarily because of personal interests but for the honor of his college or association. When atnletic work becomes individualistic, it be- comes sordid and selfish and the real spirit and meaning is taken out of it. This being true, the conduct of athletics should be largely social. Properly organized, athletics may be made to contribute vitally to the social spirit of the association. The conduct of all the sports should be made co-operative. Athletics provide an opportunity to put many to work, which always creates in- terest on the part of those so used. Close contests, a reasonable number of victories, and gentlemanly conduct in competition inject esprit and enthusiasm into the membership. The social side of athletics must ever be kept uppermost. There is frequently a tendency, to limit competition to a few, whereas it should offer opportunity for the many to enjoy the privileges of participation. While it is wise to have a track team composed of athletes who by superior work have won distinction, participation should not be limited to these. The athletic policy should make provision for events in which the novice and the mediocre athlete can find a place. Some associations have a budget for the athletic work and send athletic teams, whom they elect, to various "meets" and pay all expenses, mcluding entrance fees, uniforms and traveling Dr. LUTHER HALSEY GULICK Second Vice-President Governing Committer i 3 O o p < N O O ^1 •at 1^ o s •2< I' Ii si SCO P u « CO GEO. D. PRATT Treasurer Governing Committee SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY,, 1 3 expenses. Some even go so far as to give "star" athletes special privileges, such as a membership in the association, and thus make them a select and favored class. Such a plan i's expensive and, to say the least, unfair to the rest of the members, and is attended by vicious results. There is another dangerous tendency in athletics and that is the danger of dissipation. Play is a restive steed. The tendency is to excess. The desire to win perverts the true spirit of vic- tory. Athletics become an end in themselves, rather than a means to an end. Unfair means and conduct are frequently re- sorted to in order to acquire the desired end, viz., victory. In this article attention has been called to three dangerous "tendencies — first, the tendency toward individualism ; second, the tendency toward favoritism ; third, the tendency toward excess and unfair conduct. A form of organization is therefore necessary in the conduct of athletics which will provide for a co-operative policy, which will be conducted by the members, for the members and will be composed of the members and by which clean sport principles will be enunciated and upheld and a healthy, uplifting spirit dominate all athletic affairs. In my judgment, the best way to bring this about, is by the organization of an athletic club composed of the members of the association of all those who are in any way interested in athletic exercise or out of door sports. Such an organization should have the usual officers. A strong man whose ethics in sport are known to be pure and who has executive ability should be rniiade president, for much will depend upon him for the success of the organization. There should also be the usual vice-president, secretary and treasurer. These with thres others should constitute the Board of Directors. The con- stitution should also provide permanent positions on the Board of Directors for both the chairman of the physical department committee and the physical director. This will relate the club officially to the association and provide a means of proper supervision. The limitation of such an organization should be defined to the members and yet a reasonable amount of independence and authority permitted. The great value of such a movement is that it unites the various branches of sport. Instead of having a base ball team, a basket ball team, track and other teams, each with its own treasury interested only in its own struggle with its own par- ticular following, and with no relation to the other teams of the association, there is but one treasury. AH branches of athletics GEORGE J. FISHER. M. D. Secretary Governing Committee SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. I5 are under the administration of the athletic cUib. The receipts from all teams go into the same treasury, the deficits when there are any are paid out of the same treasury. For illustration, the basket ball team nets $ioo during the season above all expenses. Instead of holding this as a separate fund, it is paid into the Athletic Club Treasury. The base ball team comes out $50 short at the end of the season. This deficit is paid from the clul) treasury. Under the independent policy perhaps it would be im- possible to conduct a base ball team, but by having a financially successful basket ball team it is able to have a base ball team. Thus it is the strong helping the weak. Thus the members of the base ball team are not only interested in base ball, but are interested in the success of the basket ball team and vice versa. Each is benefited by the success of the other, hence mutual co-operation. Another advantage of an athletic club is that it provides a forum for discussing the athletic policy of the association, for co-operation in athletic affairs. Here clean sport principles are enunciated, errors are rectified, right methods and right conduct insisted upon. Sections are organized in the various branches of sport over which the club desires jurisdiction. Thus there may be sections in base ball, foot ball, basket ball, tennis, ice hockey, gymnastics, track and field sports. Each section is represented by a com- mittee which plans the policy of the sections subject to the approval of the athletic club. The club meetings are held monthly, and the chairmen of the sections make monthly reports. A slight fee should be charged for membership in the club and participation in athletics limited to paid up members. All bills must be endorsed by the president and paid by check counter- signed by him. The entire athletic program should be planned at the club meetings. Thus responsibility for carrying out the program is not limited to the physical director, but is placed upon the club membership. What can be done by such a club ? Put many to work. Divide responsibility. Make athletics self sustaining. Conduct indoor and outdoor athletic meets, cross country runs, novice events, group games. Representative teams can be managed and financed, including such sports as base ball, basket ball, fort bail, ice hockey, la cross, tennis, gymnastics, bowling, etc.. etc. Colors are selected, yells adopted, emblems chosen, rooter'' club or- ganized. The monthly meeting may be made a special social event occasionally. Men prominent in athletic affairs may be W. T. BROWN Member Governing Committee SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. I7 invited to address the members on "clean sport" or "how to train," "the relation of athletics to character," or kindred sub- jects. An annual banquet can well be made a part of the program at which the ideals to be sought for in athletics can be presented by men well able to make such presentation. What are some of the dangers of such an organization? The unruly element may be in the majority, the purpose for which the club was organized may be diverted. The members, unless rightly educated, may exceed their authority and their natural limitations. Thoroughly organized, however, with strict adherence to the principles upon which such an organization is founded, the local athletic club wiH contribute much in making possible a progres- sive athletic policy, in securing the co-operatitjn of many mem- bers, in creating a deliglitful social spirit and in securing bodily vigor and power to those who enjoy its privileges.

Its Value to the Community, to the Individual and to the Association. C. R. H. Jackson Physical Director Y. M. C. A., Scranton, Pa. That there is a real need for the inauguration and maintenance of a campaign to rid aiMetic sports of vicious practices may be seen by any one who makes a calm, dispassionate study of the conditions that now obtain in the conduct of competitive athletics. The tactics commonly used by individuals and teams under the guise of amateurs, to secure victory and reward are a menace to clean sports. The professional, whose sole business it is to win, has no place in this article, further than to state that he selfishly sacrifices true sportsmanship to self-seeking, and that too often he is merely a tool in the hands of gamblers, to be used in duping the public* The practice of running men under false names, oi pre-arrang- ing matches and contests, of scales tampered witli, of fake exhibi- tions, all go to show that the disgraceful afi^airs, one of which was so honestly reported in the Scranton Tribune of June 25, igo4, are far too common. The article entitled "The Race-Track Trust," published in the May (1905) number of Success, shows the extent to which jus- tice, honor and mercy are sacrificed to the gambler's greed, and it is the contamination of amateur athletics by this banefuJ influ- ence that concerns us. The difference between the professional, who is working at athletics for a living, and the amateur who is playing in athletics a6 a recreation is often obscure. The definition of many persons for the terms professional an3 amateur would be — the professional is an expert in, some epc cial athletic event, and an amateur is one who is less expert. The true distinction is that the former places victory first because of the money involved, and the latter practices athletic sports fc" the recreation and healthy vigor they afford. The Y.M.C.A. Athletic League, recognizing the value of clean athletics in the best development of men, and knowing of the many temptations offered by unscrupulous persons to use unclean methods in contests, has launched a campaign for true sports NOAH C. ROGERS Member Governing Committee SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 21 conducted between gentlemen for the glory of a victory, or the honor of a defeat, upon a fair field without favor. ORGANIZATION. Since "everybody's business is nobody's business," and because the success of every great reform has depended upon a few per- sons who were thoroughly convinced of the vital need of refor- mation, this campaign will never succeed unless there is a strong organization to conduct it. First — Some one man must voluntarily assume this new work in each community, then he must convince and enlist the interest and services of a few other clean hearted, clear headed, influen- tial men. These men should organize an athletic organization and at once become members of the proper governing amateur athletic body. The Young Men's Christian Associations should join the Ath- letic League and the athletic clubs and regiments the Amateur Athletic Union. The organization being effected and under proper supervision and assisted by the governing body, the next step is to promote an open amateur athletic meet. Possibly the best introduction' of a Clean Sport Campaign will be for an influential daily paper to conduct a large meet. From a business standpoint this is good business for the paper. Such a field day may be conducted by a paper for $250 or less, cash expenditure, and an additional expense of $150 in printing, all of which will be done in their own establishment. In re- turn for this, the paper secures from three to six weeks of valu- able advertising and the assistance of the members of the com- mittee gratis. By the publication of daily articles on training, and a daily training schedule for each event, the paper is made interesting and valuable to most young men — and this will not be confined to one vicinity, but to many communities; this means an increased circulation. During this time it will be the most talked of and sought for paper in the community, and the advertising culmi- nates in a mammoth attraction on the day of the meet, at which time and for many months afterward the paper will be men- tioned in connection with the sports. If advertising pays regular subscribers at regular rates, surely thi^ vast amount of advertising is cheap at $.300. In addition to this, the paper has been true to its noblest ololigation to its con- stituents in leading the campaign for cleansing and elevating manly sports, and in the training of manly men. I. Then, the co-operation of a few influential men who can be depended upon to help, must be secured. J. H. McCURDY, M. D. Member Governing Committee SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 23 2. Membership in th^e Athletic League or Amateur Athletic Union obtained. 3. An influential institution secured to conduct a meet on a large scale. 4. Every available means used to enlist the public in the cause of clean sport. • (a) By newspaper articles and endorsements of clean sport written by prominent athletes of national and international repu- tation. Letters from such men as George T. Hepbron, Dr. G. J. Fisher, Dr. W. G. Anderson, Dr. D. A. Sargent, Jame« E. Sulli- van, and Qther^ men well known to athletes, will be read with interest, and will convince those who read them of the value of ■clean athletics in the training of men. (b) By the personal work of the members oi the committee with individuals. 5.. _ These printed articles will convince the local athletes of th€ importance of being loyal to clean sport standards; and will re-sult in enlisting a large number of manly fellows in the ranks of registered amateurs. 6. Only competent officials should be placed in charge of an athletic meet and even those men should be carefully coached previously. The referee should be an expert — who can start, conduct and close the meet in the promptest and most businesslike manner. Comparatively few persons have ever witnessed a first-class ath- letic meet conducted on a large scale — and a meet of this descrip- tion wilJ pave the way for future successful meets, and prove that Amateur Athletics are suoerior to professional contests in the events o'f the track and field, as well as in decency and fairness, HOW TO MAINTAIN CLEAN SPORTS. It is easier to organize and launch a campaign as outlined above, than it is to maintain the campaign with unabated energy and enthusiasm year after year, but the results justify the work required. The commonest cause of athletes becoming professionals is be- cause they are not given the opportunity to compete in amateur games often enough. Men and boys must be kept busy in the pastime that attracts them.; otherwise they will enter less desirable pastimes. As stated above, at the very beginning of the campaign an athletic organi- zation should be formed. Each Association should organize an athletic association. . non-members of the Association should be organized under the Amateur Athletic Union, regular meetinp-^^ should be held ; frequent meets, preferably open meets, with HENRY M. ORNE Member Governing Committee SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 2^ some handicap events should be conducted. Outdoors in sum- mer, indoors in winter. Spring and fall cross-country races should be conducted, also aquatic and other contests. Every branch of sport should be encouraged and conducted, always upon a strictly amateur basis. The men should be notified as soon as their term of registra- tion lapses and re-registration secured. Occasional socials during the dull season should be held and some good man who is prominent in amateur athletic circles invited as the guest of the evening. The surest means of keeping men loyal to amateur standards is to keep am^ateur athletics alive and vigorous by having fre- quent contests held by various organizations, each being so care- fully conducted that dissatisfaction and protests will seldom occur ; for carelessness always begets trouble. The work of maintaining this campaign will usually fall upon the few, frequently upon one — but all of the time, energy and money so spent is justifiable by the practical results gained. THE VALUE TO THE COMMUNITY. From a business viewpoint — the city is benefited by the adver- tisement given it as a center for high-class, athletic sports. These contests attract the attention and bring as visitors to the city the most desirable class of young men, men with rich red blood in their arteries, with courage and ambition to excel in. every walk of life animating them. One proof of the importance placed upon athletic sports by young men is shown by the prominence given this work in the printed matter of nearly every private educational institution and most of the public preparatory schools, colleges and universities. In fact the very popularity of these sports is the cause of the mistakes and excesses ; which this clean sport campaign aims to correct. From a character-building viewpoint, the value to the com- munity of such a campaign can only be measured by the men and boys who are made more honest, cleaner morally, franker, more courageous, more eager to excel, more determined, more self- controlled, and self-reliant. This makes for a safe community to live in, because it makes for honest merchants to deal with» for careful, conscientious, professional men to call upon and for true friends and reliable neighbors. THE VALUE TO THE INDIVIDUAL lies in the fact that virtue, like vice, becomes the habit of life, when practiced enough. GEO. W. EHLER Member Governing' Committee SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 7.^ The environmental influence of wisely conducted, clean ath- letics will beget habits of honor, of sincerity, of honest effort. To win a victory for one's self is good. To win a victory over one's self is better. To win for our association, city, college or country is grand. To forego a victory, sooner than take an unfair advantage over an opponent requires as noble a manhood as all the others combined. The most valuable thing a man can have is character, and in the practice of clean sports the man develops all of the manly attributes, glorious strength and skill and endurance. The cour- age that is indifferent to personal discomfort and pain. The determination that never "quits" in athletic contests or in the battle of life. The self-control that keeps him calm when others are excited and alarmed. The self-reliance that gives him confidence in times of danger. He has added to strength of body and mental poise a love of fair play for all, and a scorn of deceit, and he is a man. We inherit our love for manly sports from our forebears, and we have also inherited a love and respect for honor and truth and fair play. Men have always loved the pastimes demanding manly cou- age, prowess and skill, and still love them. Physical excellence attracts as much notice and is as loudly applauded now as in the days when only the strong survived. Participation in and control of amateur athletics increases a man's earning value ; the traits of body and mind thus developed enable him to render better service to his employer, and marks him for promotion. The influence of the field of sport and its champions upon the lives of the boys, makes lasting impressions. Physical power always receives due recognition from the nor- mal boy. He is true to his convictions, his heroes are heroes indeed. The traits of his ideal man are all carefully noted and copied ; if his hero is manly, brave, kind, true, intelligent, the boy faithfully strives to pattern his conduct and life after them. If his ideal is coarse, brutal, dishonest and ignorant, the boy still patterns after his hero, and he copies him, defects and all, with all the vices exaggerated. If athletics did nothing more than give to the boys worthy, clean-cut. manly ideals, it would do a noble work, and the value to the individual man and boy would be immeasurably great. VALUE TO THE ASSOCIATION. The objection to the conduct of Association athle'.ics h::.s bcvi) HAROLD HAMNETT Member Governing Committee SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 2g made that "the proportionately small number of men who use the physical department who will participate in competitive ath- letic sports does not justify the conduct of such contests" is hardly a fair one. Any physical department having in its mem- bership from several hundreds to as many thousands will be divided into numerous classes and groups. Classes for men and boys of different ages, conditions and occupations, fencing, wrestling, boxing and other clubs are organized, all require careful planning and supervision and much work to carry suc- cessfully through the season. And yet not one of these sections will prove so valuable an advertising medium for the Association as will the organization and maintenance of a clean sport cam- paign. The Association will soon be recognized by the entire com- munity as the leader in clean, manly sports, with its standard for clean sport only and always. Men and boys are attracted to the Association, and the accusa- tion that the "Association is an exclusive club" is refuted by the boys and men themselves. The physical director frequently being the only accessible per- son competent to coach athletes in a city, naturally men wishing scientific instruction and advice will join the Association to se- cure his aid ; this means greater influence and increased mem- bership. The organization whose mission is boldly proclaimed to be the best development and largest life of each man — physically, men- tally and spiritually, irrespective of creed or caste — will be ex- pected by practical men to do something to correct the influences that are injuring men. The work of the Association is made possible by the financial support and influence of public-spirited men. The continued loy- alty of these men to this institution will be in proportion to the practical work the Association is doing in living up to its avowed mission. The Association's mission and responsibility do not end with its membership, but extend to every man and boy in the com- munity. In its effort to serve, it must recognize neither class or creed — but men only. The value to the Association consists in — 1. Bringing its advantages to the attention of men and boys, who otherwise would not have known of them. 2. In having an active part in controlling athletic sports and in increased influence. 3. In increased membership. J. J. PFISTER Member Governing Committee Spalding's athletic library. 3I 4. In demonstrating to those who financially support the Asso- ciation that it is doing practical work in developing clean men, thus deserving and obtaining more loyal support. 5. In keeping the Association in touch with men and boys through their sports, and by holding them together in organized teams and clubs. 6. In the increased usefulness of the Association to the people, and by its larger part in the city's life, for this campaign includes every phase of clean sport, including school boy leagues. Sunday school leagues, shop, factory and store leagues, and other teams and leagues in every branch of legitimate sport to be conducted always in a fair-play, gentlemanly manner, under amateur regu- lations. I plead for the hearty support of this campaign from every physical director. That it requires hard work, much time and careful thought is true ; but it is the essence of the Association work; and it is better than sitting down at home and criticising or bemoaning the shameful methods in vogue. No one recognizes more fully the importance of the work of the gymnasium or the difficult problems offered by athletics, than I, but it is contrary to Association principles to hold ourselves aloof from this important department of physical training, and see athletics shorn of much of their value by being given over to professional standards for athletic conduct. The organization and maintenance of this campaign is not too difficult a task for any level-headed, determined physical direc- tor to undertake, if he is willing to work for the best develop- ment of the boys and men of his city. That the value to the community, to the individual, and to the Association will more than compensate for the time, trouble and money invested, will, I believe, be admitted by any one who suc- cessfully conducts such a campaign. The clean sport campaign is a war now being waged against dirty trickery and unmanly behavior in athletic sports which should and can be conducted solely for the strength and skill of body, self-control and cool judgment of mind, and for the traits of character that make for "clean, vigorous manhood in the live": of those who participate in clean amateur athletic sports, and whose influence permeates thousands of homes, schools, social and business circles in this land of ours. Let "Clean Athletics for the Athletes" be our motto : not "Athletes for Athletics." H. M. STRICKLER Member Governing Committee SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 33 THE VALUE OF ORGANIZATION IN ATHLETICS By L. O. GiLLESBY, Physical Director Y. M. C. A., Evanston, 111. There is surely no need of an argument for union in the accom- plishment of a purpose, for nearly every great object has been made a success by united effort. This union is undoubtedly as much needed in athletics as in any other great doing. To all observers of physical culture, the marvelous growth of competi- tive sports and the tremendous interest taken in them by the par- ticipant and the public is something to be wondered at. This could never have been possible had it not been for the unselfish men who have guided our national sport-governing institutions. These bodies have fostered and kept within useful channels great agencies which make our American man more manly, make him mere chivalrous, more considerate of others and more a master of himself. The Amateur Athletic Union states two of its objects as being the encouragement of systematic physical exercise and education and the promotion of athletic sports among amateurs. The Athletic League of North America looks to the maintenance of a high standard of Christian morality, hon- esty, courtesy and manliness in athletic sport. Both organiza- tions agree in trying to further a strict amateur basis. These and the other national organizations are working out the prob- lems of sport year by year, and while not always reaching to the ideals they have set for themselves, they yet deserve the hearty co-operation of every sport-loving man in this country. These organizations are practically one in their aim. They are united in their purpose. The hardest years of work are already past, for effort with small returns is not inspiring, but already has come the time when great returns follow the doing of good things. Leadership and example have been furnished us along desirable lines. Information has been widely given, but the knowledge and correct estimate of these bodies and their work is not yet as wide as it should be. There rests upon the physical directors, the gymnasium committees and the leaders' corps the duty to spread this information. We should make it one of our WILLIAM H. LEWIS Member Governing Committee SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 35 chief aims to inform young men of the purposes and work of these bodies. Sport seems to have a continual tendency to be invaded by the professional idea, and in order to keep it safe the strictest rulings are necessary to hedge in man's tendencies. The govern- ing bodies are a unit in their definition of the amateur. They are trying to protect the man who for wealth and enjoyment enters sport, using as a stimulus for keeping at it the opportunity to show that physically and mentally he is better than the other fellow. Years of experience in dealing with the man greedy for gain has brought about rulings which should be lived up to by all. Many young men get in the wrong class because they do not know these rulings. We should see that they get informed. Not one of the rulings is narrow. All are broad gauge and liberal. We should post in a conspicuous place around our gymnasia the gist of them. Don't compete for money. Don't compete under a false name. Don't compete against a professional. Don't teach sport for money. Don't sell a prize. Don't receive pay for acting as an official in any contest. In order to place sport within reach of the governing bodies the sanctioning of games and registration of individuals has been instituted. These are valuable to all parties. It first of all keeps in a central organization the knowledge of all sport con- ducted throughout the country. It puts the promoter of contests in touch with the national organization. It is the only way in which government may be maintained. The cost is exceedingly small and pays part of the expense of control. It would be im- possible to pay for the time spent gratis by the leaders of these organizations. Without organization and government it would be impossible to eliminate professionalism from athletics and the amateur and professional cannot be handled together. The actuating spirit of the two is widely separated. The amateur contends for the pleasure of using and gaining skill, the pleasure of prominence and of getting the better of the other fellow. The professional is looking for gain first, last and all the time. He may enjoy it, but the money in it tends to make him want to win at all costs, and crookedness frequently creeps in. Our professional base ball leagues have had a wide experience in this tendency and those in national control have the matter well in hand, but in the minor leagues there is frequent evidence of questionable practices which place the game in danger with the public.

While the physical department of the Young Men's Christian Association is not primarily designed for competitive athletics, we should recognize the benefits derived from such sports and not only be in a position to encourage them, but at all times take ;he initiative in promoting clean, competitive athletic sports. No Dther organization is in a position to render such service as is the 'Association. The Association should be the natural center of all ;he athletic interests of the city. This is especially true in the ^maller cities, where no other athletic organization exists. Boys' :lubs, grammar schools, high schools and colleges not having physical directors or coaches naturally look to the Association for rainers and officials, and in some instances the entire conduct Df their athletics could well be intrusted to the Association. In order that the Association be able to fulfill its obligation to :hese institutions, it is absolutely necessary that we adhere only :o clean sport methods. No Association can afford not to be 1 member of the Athletic League and uphold its rules. No matter low small the Association, or how little they may be able to take Dart in competitive athletics, they should show their interest in :lean sport by a membership in the League and a lively interest in its affairs. The spirit of the League as given in Section i of the By-Laws should dominate all of our a' .detic relations, whether with Asso- ciations, athletic clubs, or other institutions and nothing short Df their fulfillment should be considered worthy of the organiza- :ion we represent. Our athletic relations with other associations must not be strained. Competition among Associations should be of the most friendly nature, and visiting teams should receive every courtesy due to gentlemen. The home Association should be responsible for conduct of spectators, and every effort should be made to establish gentlemanly conduct on their part. The physical directors should not officiate in games where their own teams 1— C. J. HUNT, St. Paul 2— GEORGE A. SELLAR. Chicagro 3— C. T. BOOTH, Minneapolis 4— WILLIAM E. DAY, Dayton 5— Dr. H. F. KALLENBERG. Chicago CENTRAL SECTION. SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 4I are represented, unless it be impossible to secure competent men outside. The larger and stronger Associations are in a position to assist and encourage competition with their smaller and weaker brethren by giving handicap meets, limiting the size of the team or playing second teams against firsts, when evenly matched, especially in basket ball, base ball and other team games. The tendency of the central Association to absorb the best athletes of the various branches by offering special inducements should be discouraged. "In union there is strength," but in monopoly there is dissolution. The continual winning of one organization 3ver all the rest tends to spoil the interest in athletics, and to kill- the game. Spectators do not care to see an exhibition per- formance by one club not do athletes enjoy going into a "sure thing" meet. It is better, therefore, that each Association be allowed to use the athletes that rightly belong to it and that they be not given to covetousness. Whenever a strained condition exists between two Associations competition between them had better cease until such time as a genuine spirit of fellowship is established. The Association's relationship to the athletic club is not tliat Df an antagonist, but rather that of a wholesome competitor. There is no reason why the Association should not compete against athletic clubs, provided, of course, that the athletic club is willing to adhere to clean sport methods. While it is true that the athletic club is able to offer better inducements to athletes than the Association when the rules of the A. A. U. are in effect the Association is in a position to hold its own in competition against clubs. The Association is not in a position to put the athletic club out of business, nor should it try to. The athletic club occupies a field and meets the needs of some men that the Association is not in a position to reach, and we should recognize this fact and seek to lend them a helping hand whenever we find the opportunity. Our relations to the colleges and universities of the country are varied and our opportunities great. Where an Association is located in a college town, it often affords an opportunity for :ollege men to get a great part of their training in the Associa- tion gymnasium, when their own facilities are inadequate. Friendly competition is helpful to both institutions and should DC encouraged, especially in localities where both Associations md colleges are scarce. The Association will be able to send a number of its men to some of these institutions of higher learning and we should rejoice to see our men win college honors. In high school athletics the Association athlete should and 1— J. B. MODESITT. Milwaukee 2— J. C. PENTLAND, Omaha 3-ALFRED K. JONES, Indianapolis 4-W. S. PADDOCK, Milwaukee 5— A. G.

There should be no school meet in which the majority of point winners are not Association men We are not doing our duty by the high school boys where these conditions do not exist, except m places where the schools have all the necessary equipment and instruction. Special classes should be conducted for high school boys and care be taken to give them all-around training. Those who show athletic ability should be coached and encouraged so as to bring the best possible results both to the school and the individual. In the smaller cities the Association is m a position to look after the coaching of the foot ball, basket ball, base ball and track athletics, as well as the regular systematic gymnasium work. But the Association's great responsibility in athletics is its relation to the individual. No Associations can afford to make an athlete at the expense of character. Character through ath- letics should be our watchword. In order to develop charac- ter through athletics it is absolutely necessary that we adhere to our first principles of clean sport. No man can be benefited morally by athletics if the physical directors are crooked, avari- cious, or show a tendency to win at all costs. Once get the con- ditions right at the head and we are in a position to teach the athlete that the physical benefits are of more value than the nonors ; that to have gained control of one's temper is of more value than to have won a prize; that to clean up in his manner of living IS vastly more important than the applause of thousand^ and that the minute he becomes a "pot hunter" he becomes a parasite on athletic society, and that athletics would be a great deal better off without him. , Our opportunity among the younger athletes along this jine IS especially great and we should ever be ready and willing to Associatfoif ^^'^ individual, even at the apparent loss to the No physical director should hesitate to disqualify one of his Dwn men for willfully violating the rules, and under no condition Should an Association offer free membership, soft jobs or meal :ickets to good athletes in order to secure or retain them 1— Dr. JOHN W.

The League endeavors to foster clean sport between gentlemen, The following statements express the spirit to be sought and maintained in such sport. It is the privilege and duty of every committee and person connected with th^ League to emlDody these principles in his own actions and to earnestly advocate them before others : (i) The rules of games are to be regarded as mutual agree- ments, the spirit or letter of which one should no sooner try to evade or break than one would any other agreement between gentlemen. The stealing of advantage in sport is to be regarded in the same way as stealing of any other kind. (2) Visitmg teams are the honored guests of the home team, and all their mutual relationships are to be governed by the spirit which is understood to guide in such relationships. (3) No action is to be done nor course of conduct pursued which would seem' ungentlemanly or dishonorable if known to one's opponents or the public. (4) No advantages are to be sought over others except those in which the game is understood to show superiority.

Note. — In applying for sanctions conflicting dates with other organizations should be avoided, because two or more meets on the same date in the same territory usually results in diminished interest and financial loss to one or both.

Note. — The Governing Committee will use its discretion in granting sanctions for dates conflicting with games to be held by an organization which has been granted an A. A. U. sanction. (10) REGISTRATION. (a) Individuals representing Associations in competition and for record must have been registered in the League before the SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 87 performance.

U. games and vice versa. (11) OFFICIAL PROGRAMME. Both the registration and competitor's number must be printed on the official programme. The absence of such number on the entry blank is sufficient reason for refusing said entry. Marked programme must be sent to the Secretary of the League immedi- ately after the games. Further sanctions will depend upon the compliance with the whole of the above rule. (12) DISTRICT ]\IEETS. District groups of Associations in the League may invite teams representing bodies not members in the League to join them in competition. Such teams may win the competition, but cannot win the Association district championship or trophy. They do not become members of the League, (13) BICYCLE RACING.

When other than members of Young Men's Christian Associations are entered National Cycling Association sanction is required. Individuals entering races held under League sanction must be registered with the League. League registration is not good when races are held under N. C. A. sanction, and vice versa. Sec. II. AMATEUR DEFINITION. (i) An amateur is a person who has never competed in an open competition, or for money, or under a false name, or know- rH'» Spalding's athletic library. 89 iiigly with a professional for a prize, or with a professional where gate money is charged ; nor has at any time taught, pursued as a means of liveHhood, or assisted at athletic exercises for money, or for any valuable consideration. But nothing in this definition shall be construed to prohibit the competition among amateurs for medals, etc. (See prizes.) To prevent any misunderstanding in reading the above, the League draws attention to the following explanation and adjudi- cations : (A) An athlete has forfeited his right to compete as an amateur, and has thereby become a professional by (a) Ever having competed in an open athletic or gymnastic competition; that is, a competition, the entries to which are open to all irrespective as to whether the competitors are amateurs or professionals, and whether such competition be for a prize or not. (b) Ever having competed for money in any athletic or gym- nastic exercise. (c) Ever having competed under a false name in any athletic or gymnastic exercise. (d) Ever having knowingly competed with a professional for a prize, or with a professional where gate money is charged in any athletic or gymnastic exercise. (vLcpt the consent of the governing body of such Youno- Men's Cnristian Association be obtained. ** 138 Spalding's athletic library. Article V. No member of any Amateur Athletic Union club shall be al- lowed to represent any Young Men's Christian Association in games of any local branch of the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion Athletic League, provided he has, within one year, com- peted for any Amateur Athletic Union club, excepting with the consent of the Board of Governors of the athletic club which he last represented. Article VI. Each party to this alliance shall respect and enforce the pen- alties, suspensions, and disqualifications imposed by the other party. Article VII. Only those local Young Men's Christian Associations or branches which are enrolled as bona fide members of the Athletic League of Young Men's Christian Associations shall be entitled to the privileges and protection of this affiliation. Article VIII. These articles of alliance may be terminated by either party upon thirty days' written notice to the other. For the Amateur Athletic Union, Bartow S. Weeks, President. For the Athletic League of the Young Men's Christian Asso- ciations of North America. Frederic B. Pratt, Chairman of the Governing Committee. Articles I. and II. give the League continuous representation on the Governing Board of the Amateur Athletic Union and ally it with the best interests of amateur sport in the country, and in so far as we have influence will enable us to co-operate with them in maintaining that high standard of sport which it is our mutual desire to secure. Article III., as clearly stated in it, provides for mutual autonomy. Games held under sanction of the League, whether closed or open, shall be held under League rules exclusively. Conversely, the games of the Amateur Athletic Union are ex- clusively under their own control, and even when League mem- bers enter their games they abide entirely by their ruling, and not by the League. Articles IV. and V. are the most important ones. The rules are also those which govern the relations of the Amateur Athletic Union Clubs to each other. The reason for their original adop- SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 139 tion was that the strong athletic chibs could by superior facilities draw away the best members from the small clubs and thus render it difficult for the smaller clubs to do anything in the line of athletics. It was a measure of protection. The League now takes the same position with reference to them that they take with reference to each other. It has been claimed that certain athletic clubs habitually drew their prominent athletes from our Associa- tion, and that it was impossible to hold in the Association men who excelled in any line of athletic sport, even though they had been trained by the Association. This will be largely remedied in the future by the operation of these rules. Aricle VI. This alliance is not between the Young Men's Christian Associations and the Amateur Athletic Union, but be- tween the Athletic League of the Associations and the Amateur Athletic Union. While the League will endeavor to render as definite service as possible to the entire cause of the Young Men's Christian Associations, its immediate effort and benefits must be confined chiefly to the Associations that indicate their interest and desire to be governed by its rules by joining it. The door into the League is open, and it is hoped that all Associations which have physical work will ally themselves with this general movement. Local associations may, if they wish, join both organi- zations. Article VII. Men who are suspended by the Amateur Athletic Union are ipso facto suspended during the same period from League games ; and, similarly, men whom for any reason the League suspends from competition in its games are suspended for the same period from all games of the Union. Thus both bodies stand in a position of mutual co-operation and helpfulness with reference to the necessary discipline of our own athletic sports. _ Article VIII. In case of difficulty between the two parties, this article gives opportunity for withdrawal or alteration, without which it would be hardly possible for either party to go into the arrangement. 140 SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY.

They shall make arrangements for the games, grounds, officials, expenses, advertising, etc. Rule III. The Referee. The Referee shall decide all questions relating to the actual conduct of the meeting whose final settlement is not otherwise covered by these rules. SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY, I45 He alone shall have the power to change the order of events as laid down in the official programme, and to add to or to alter the announced arrangement of heats in any event. A Referee has no authority, after heats have been duly drawn and published in a programme, to transfer a contestant from one heat to an- other. When in any but the final heat of a race a claim of foul or in- terference is made, he shall have the power to disqualify the competitor who was at fault, if he considers the foul intentional or due to culpable carelessness, and shall also have the power to allow the hindered competitor to start in the next round of heats just as if he had been placed in his trial. When in a final heat a claim of foul or intereference is made, he shall have the power to disqualify the competitor who was at fault, if he considers the foul intentional or due to culpable care- lessness, and he shall also have the power to order a new race between such of the competitors as he thinks entitled to such a privilege. If, during any athletic contest, a competitor conduct himself in a manner unbecoming a gentleman, or offensive to the officials, spectators, or competitors, the Referee shall have the power to disqualify him from further competition at the meeting; and if he thinks the offense worthy of additional punishment, shall make a detailed statement of the facts to the Governing Com- mittee within 48 hours. Rule IV. The Inspectors. It shall be the duty of an Inspector to stand at such point as the Referee may designate ; to watch the competition closely, and in case of a claim of foul to report to the Referee what he saw of the incident.

In case the pistol was not purposely discharged the com- petitors shall be called back by the Starter by pistol fire. (Note. — the Starter must have at least two good cartridges in his pistol before starting a heat or race.) When any part of the person of a competitor shall touch the ground in front of his mark before the starting signal is given it shall be considered a false start. Penalties for false starting shall be inflicted by the Starter as follows : In all races up to and including 125 yards, the competitor shall be put back one yard for the first and another yard for the second attempt ; in races over 125 yards and including 300 yards, two yards for the first and two more for the second at- tempt ; in races over 300 yards and including 600 yards, three yards for the first and three more for the second attempt ; in races over 600 yards and including i.ooo yards, four yards for the first and four more for the second attempt ; in races over SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY.

Rule IX. The Clerk of the Course shall be provided with the names and the numbers of all entered competitors, and shall notify them to appear at the starting line before the start in each event in which they are entered.

All protests against any entered competitor must be made in writing to the Games Committee or any member thereof before the meeting, or verbally to the Referee during the meeting. If possible, the committee or Referee shall decide such pro- tests at once. If the nature of the protest or the neces- sity of obtaining testimony prevents an immediate decision, the competitor shall be allowed to compete under protest, and the protest shall be decided by the Games Committee within one week, unless its subject be the amateur standing of the competi- tor, in which case the Games Committee must report such pro- test within forty-eight hours to the Secretary of the Governing Committee. (2) All protests, except in regard to interpretation of rules and amateur standing, shall be decided by the committee or Referee to whom they are made as provided.

Track Measurement. All distances run or walked shall be measured upon a line eighteen inches outward from the inner edge of the track, ex- cept that in races on straightaway tracks the distance shall be measured in a direct line from the starting mark to the finish- ing line. Indoor padded tracks shall be measured upon a line following the centre of the padding. The committee reserve the right to require in case a record is claimed the sworn statement of a civil engineer regarding the measurement of the course. Rule XVIII. The Course. Each competitor shall keep in his respective position from start to finish in all races on straightaway tracks, and in all races on tracks with one or more turns he shall not cross to the inner edge of the track, except when he is at least six feet in advance of his nearest competitor. After turning the last corner into the straight in any race, each competitor must keep a straight course to the finish line, and not cross, either to the outside or the inside, in front of any of his opponents. In all championship races, at any distance under and including 300 yards, each competitor shall have a separate course, properly roped, staked, and measured, whether the race be run on a straight path or around one or more curves. The Referee shall have power to disqualify from that event any competitor who wilfully pushes against, impedes, crosses the course of, or in any way interferes with, another competitor. The Referee shall have power to disqualify from further par- ticipation in the games any contestant competing in order to lose, to coach, or to in any way impede chances of another competitor either in a trial or final contest. Rule XIX. The Finish of the course shall be represented by a line between two finishing posts, drawn across and at right angles to the sides of the track, and four feet above which line shall be placed a tape attached at either end to the finishing posts. A finish shall be counted when any part of the winner's body, except his hands or arms, shall touch the tape at the finish line. The tape is to be con- sidered the finishing line for the winner, but the order of finish- ing across the track line shall determine the positions of the other competitors. Rule XX. Hurdles. In the 120 yards hurdle race ten hurdles shall be used, each hurdle being three feet six inches high. They shall be placed ten 150 SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. yards apart, with the first hurdle fifteen yards distant from the starting point, and the last hurdle fifteen yards before the finish- ing line. In the 220 yards hurdle race ten hurdles shall be used, each hurdle to be two feet six inches high. They shall be placed twenty yards apart, with the first hurdle twenty yards distant from the starting mark, and the last hurdle twenty yards before ^he finishing line. In making a record it shall be necessary for the competitor to jump over every hurdle in its proper position. In all championship hurdle races each competitor shall have separate hurdles and a separate course marked out and meas- ured independently, whether races are run straightaway or with turns. Rule XXI. Relay Racing. Section i. Relay Races. The general rules for running events apply to relay racing. Sec. 2. No articles shall be carried for exchange. Sec. 3. The incoming runner must touch or overlap the hand of the outgoing runner. Sec. 4. Each runner must wear some distinguishing color or mark. Sec. 5. No competitor shall run more than one relay. Sec. 6. Positions shall be drawn for, and during the race no team shall be allowed to change its start or finish position. Sec. 7. A line shall be drawn twenty feet in front of each starting line. Between these two lines each runner must touch the succeeding runner. Failure to do this shall disqualify the team in that event. There shall be Judges of Relay Racing whose duties it shall be to see that all touches are properly made. Sec. 8. In the case of a handicap relay race, the boy on the first relay is granted the total handicap allowed each team. Rule XXII. Ties. In all contests whose results are determined by measurement of height or distance, ties shall be decided as follows : In handicap contests the award shall be given to the competitor who received the least allowance. In case of a tie between two or more competitors who received the same allowance, the decision shall be made as in scratch contests. In case of a tie in a scratch contest at high jumping or vault- ing, the tieing competitors shall have three additional trials at the height last tried, and, if still undecided, the bar shall be lowered two inches in the high jump and four inches in the pole vault. SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 15I and three trials taken at that height. If no one clears it, the bar shall be lowered again and again until one of the competitors clears it. In case of a second tie, the award shall be given to the competitor who cleared the bar with the least number of trials. In case of a tie in a scratch contest at any game decided by- distance, each of the tieing competitors shall have three addi- tional trials, and the award shall be made in accordance with the distance cleared in these additional trials. In case of a second tie three more trials shall be allowed, and so on, until a decision is reached. In case of a dead heat in any track events, the com- petitors shall not be allowed to divide the prize or points, or to toss for them, but must compete again at a time and place ap- pointed by the Referee. Order of Competition in Field Events. In all scratch events the competitors shall take their trials in the order of their names as printed in the programme. In all handicap events the competitors having the greatest allowance shall make the first trial, and so on, in regular order, up to the competitor at scratch or with least allowance, who shall have the last trial. Rule XXIII. Jumping. Section i. A fair jump shall be one that is made without the assistance of weights, diving, somersaults or hand springs of any kind. THE RUNNING HIGH JUMP. Sec. 2. The Field Judges shall decide the height at which the jump shall commence, and shall regulate the succeeding eleva- tions. Each competitor shall be allowed three trial jumps at each height, and if on the third trial he shall fail, he shall be declared out of the competition. At each successive height each competitor shall take one trial in his proper turn, then those failing, if any, shall have their sec- ond trial jump in a like order, after which those having failed twice shall make their third trial jump. The jump shall be made over a one-inch square bar resting on pins projecting not more than three inches from the uprights, and when this bar is removed from its place it shall be counted as a trial jump. Running under the bar in making an attempt to jump shall be 152 SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. counted as a "balk," and three successive "balks" shall be counted as a trial jump. The distance of the run before the jump shall be unlimited. The height of the bar at starting and at each successive ele- vation shall be determined by the officials. A competitor may decline to jump at any height in his turn, and, by so doing, forfeits his right to again jump at the height declined. Having attempted to jump any height it must be cleared before another height can be attempted. Sec. 3. The Standing High Jump. The feet of the competitor may be placed in any position, but shall leave the ground only once in making an attempt to jump. When the feet are lifted from the ground twice, or two springs are made in making the attempt, it shall count as a trial jump without result. A com- petitor may rock forward and back, lifting heels and toes alter- nately from the ground, but may not lift either foot clear from the ground or slide it along the ground in any direction. With these exceptions the rules governing the Running High Jump shall also govern the Standing High Jump. Sec. 4. The Running Broad Jump. When jumped on earth a joist five inches wide shall be sunk flush with it. The outer edge of this joist shall be called the scratch line, and the meas- urement of all jumps shall be made from it at right angles to the nearest break in the ground made by any part of the person of the competitor. In front of the scratch line the ground shall be removed to the depth of three and the width of tw^elve inches outward. A foul jump shall be one where the competitor in jumping off the scratch line touches the ground immediately in front of it, or runs over the line without jumping, and shall count as a trial jump without result. Each competitor shall have three trial jumps, and the best three shall each have three more trial jumps. The competition shall be decided by the best of all the trial jumps of the competition. The distance of the run before the scratch line shall be un- limited. Sec. 5. The Pole Fault. Poles shall be furnished by the or- ganization giving the games, but contestants may use their private poles if they so desire, and no contestant shall be allowed to use any of these private poles except by the consent of its owner. The poles shall be unlimited as to size and weight, but shall have no assisting devices, except that they be wound or wrapped with any substance for the purpose of affording a firmer grasp, and may have one prong at the lower end. SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 153 No competitor shall during his vault raise the hand which was uppermost when he left the ground to a higher point of the pole, nor shall he raise the hand which was undermost when he left the ground to any point on the pole above the other hand. Any competitor shall be allowed to dig a hole not more than one foot in diameter at the take-off in which to plant his pole. The height of the bar at starting and at each successive eleva- tion shall be determined by the officials. A line shall be drawn fifteen feet in front of the bar and parallel with it : crossing this line in an attempt shall constitute a balk. Two balks shall con- stitute a trial. With these additions, the rules governing the Running High Jump shall also govern the Pole Vault for height, and the rules governing the Running Broad Jump shall also govern the Pole Vault for distance, except that when a man leaves the ground in an attempt it shall be counted a trial. Sec. 6. The Standing Broad Jump. The feet of the com- petitor may be placed in any position, but shall leave the ground only once in making an attempt to jump. When the feet are lifted from the ground twice, or two springs are made in making the attempt, it shall count as a trial jump without result. A com- petitor may rock forward and back, lifting heels and toes al- ternately from the ground, but may not lift either foot clear of the ground, or slide it along the ground in any direction. In all other respects the rule governing the Running Broad Jump shall also govern the Standing Broad Jump. Sec. 7. The Three Standing Broad Jumps. The feet of the competitor shall leave the ground only once in making an attempt for each of the three jumps, and no stoppage between jumps shall be allowed. In all other respects the rules governing the Standing Broad Jump shall also govern the Three Standing Broad Jumps. Sec. 8. Running Hop, Step and Jump. The competitor shall first land upon the same foot with which he shall have taken off. The reverse foot shall be used for the second landing, and both feet shall be used for the third landing. In all other respects the rules governing the Running Broad Jump shall also govern the Running Hop, Step and Jump. Sec. 9. The Two Standing Broad Jumps. The rules as out- lined for three jumps shall govern, except that the individual shall take but two jumps. Sec. 10. Standing Hop, Step and Jump. The contestant shall stand upon one foot ; shall spring therefrom, alighting upon the same. He shall then take a step and then a jump. With this exception, the rule for the Three Broad Jumps shall apply. 154 Spalding's athletic library. Sec. II. Running High Dive. The contestant shall spring from the floor, pass head foremost over the stick. He may land on the floor or mat, he cannot be caught by an assistant. Sec. 12. Running High Jump from Springboard. The highest point of the springboard shall not be more than twenty inches from the floor. In all other respects the rules governing the Running High Jump shall count. Sec. 13. Ru)ining High Dive from Springboard. With the springboard as specified under Running High Jump from spring- board. In other respects the rules for the Running High Dive shall apply. Sec. 14. Running Long Dive. The contestant, in alighting, shall strike his hands first, and shall then do a forward roll. In all other respects the rules for the Running Broad Jump shall apply. Rule XXIV. Putting the Shot. The shot shall be a solid sphere, made of metal. For indoor purposes the ordinary "indoor shot'" may be used. It shall be put with one hand, and in making the attempt it shall be above and not behind the shoulder. All puts shall be made from a circle seven feet in diameter. The circle to be a metal or wooden ring, painted or whitewashed, and sunk almost flush with the turf, and it shall be divided into two halves by a line drawn through the center. In the middle of the circumference of the front half shall be placed a stop-board four feet long, four inches high, and firmly fastened to the ground. In making his puts, the feet of the competitor may rest against, but not on top of this board. A fair put shall be one in which no part of the person of the competitor touches the top of the stop-board or the ground out- side the circle, and the competitor leaves the circle by its rear half. A put shall be foul if any part of the person of the com- petitor touch the ground outside the front half of the circle or the top of the stop board before the put is measured. The measurement of each put shall be from the nearest mark made by the fall of the shot to the inside circumference of the circle on a line from the mark made by the shot to the center of the circle. Foul puts and letting go the shot in making an attempt shall be counted as trial puts without result. A board similar to the one in front may be used at the back of the circle. Shots must be weighed on the grounds by the judges of the event immediately prior to the contest. The number of trials and methods of decision shall be the SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 155 same as for the Running Broad Jump. Shots shall be furnished by the games committee. Any contestant may use his private shot, if correct in weight and shape, in which case the other con- testants may also be allowed to use it if they wish. Rule XXV. Throwing the Hammer. Section i. Jf^itli Turn. The head and handle may be of any size, shape and material, provided that the length of the complete implement shall not be more than four feet and its weight not less than twelve or sixteen pounds. The competitor may assume any position he chooses, and use either one or both hands. All throws shall be made from a circle seven feet in diameter, and this circle shall be divided into two halves by a line drawn through its center. A fair throw shall be one in which no part of the person of the competitor touches the ground outside the circle, and the competitor leaves the circle by its rear half. A throw shall be foul if any part of the person of the competitor touch the ground cjtside the front half of the circle before the throw is measured. Foul throws and letting go of the hammer in an attempt shall count as trial throws. The measurement of each throw shall be from the nearest mark made by the fall of the head of the hammer to the inside circumference of the circle, on a line from the mark made by the head of the hammer to the centre of the circle. The number of trials and methods of decision shall be the same as in the Running Broad Jump. Hammers shall be furnished by the Games Committee. Any contestant may use his private hammer, if correct in weight and length, in which case the other contestants may use it only with the owner's permission. Sec. 2. TJirozcing the Hammer Without Turn. The throw shall be made under all the conditions outlined in Throwing the Hammer with Turn, except that : The body of the contestant shall not make more than half a turn during the preliminary swings or the throw itself. Sec. 3. Hammers must be weighed and measured on the grounds by the judges of that event immediately prior to the contest. Rule XXVI. Throwing the Discus. The discus shall be of smooth, hard-wood body, without finger holes, weighted in center with lead discs and capped with pol- 156 Spalding's athletic library. ished brass discs, with steel ring on the outside.

The circle for throwing the discus shall be similar in all re- spects to that of throwing the 1 5-pound hammer. In making his throws the competitor may assume any position he pleases, and the rules governing a "fair throw" to be the same as the hammer. A discus shall be furnished by the Games Committee. Any competitor may use his private discus, if correct in weight anJ shape, in which case the other contestants shall be allowed to use it if they wish. The measurement of each throw shall be made from the near- est mark made by the fall of the discus to the inside circumfer- ence of the circle on a line from the mark made by the discus to the center of the circle. Rule XXVIII. Swimming. Section i. Officials shall consist of one Referee, three Judges at the finish, three Timekeepers, one Starter, one Clerk of the Course, with assistants, if necessary. Sec. 2.

The events shall be the lOO yard run. throwing a 12-pound hammer, running high jump, pole vaulting for height, and i mile run. II. Officers. The meeting shall be under the direction of a referee, clerk of the course, judge of jumping, judge of pole vaulting, judge of hammer throwing, judge of 100 yard run, judge of mile run, not less than three timers, one starter, one scorer, a marshal, and an official reporter. There shall be as many assistants to these officers as the referee may determine and appoint. III. Duties of Officers. Section i. TJie Referee shall have general direction of the games, and shall have final authority in all questions of dis- pute. He shall also appoint as many assistants to any officer as in his judgment are required. Ordinarily there should be one assistant to each of the judges of jumping, vaulting, and hammer throwing for every ten contestants, and as many assist- ants in the dash as there are men to be run in a heat. Sec. 2. The Clerk of the Course shall furnish a number to each competitor by which he shall be known. He shall form the contestants into groups of not more than ten. and shall place in charge of each group an assistant. It shall be the duty of the assistant to see that the men under his care go through all the work without undue delay between events. He shall keep each contestant absolutely within his group. Sec. 3. Tlie Judge for each event shall have, under the referee, full charge in his department. He shall be responsible to sec that all men put in his care are carried through the event fairly and as expeditiously as possible. Upon the completion of any event by a contestant the judge shall at once give his number to the assistant clerk in whose charge he is, and also give his number and score to the scorer. Sec. 4. The Starter shall control the competitors at the mark. No appeal shall be made from his decisions as to whether a start was made before the pistol flash or not. In the 100 yard dash a false start shall put the runner back one yard, a second i6o SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. false start an additional yard, and a third false start shall dis- qualify the runner for that event. Sec. 5. The Judge in Hammer Throwing shall measure each throw and record the same with the number of the competitor who made it. He shall be judge as to whether the hammer was thrown in accord with the rules, and shall report to the scorer the best record made by each contestant as soon as possible after the close of the event. Sec. 6. The Judge of Running High Jumps shall measure the best jump of each contestant, shall judge as to the fairness of any jump, shall keep record of and report to the scorer the best fair jump of each contestant promptly at the close of the event. Sec. 7. The Judge of Pole Vaulting for height shall have the same duties for this event as the judge for running high jump. See Section 6. Sec. 8. Judge of Run. The timers shall give to the judge the time made by the leading man of each heat. As the leading man of each heat breasts the tape the judge shall fire a pistol. In cases where it is of great importance that there be no mis- fire, it is recommended that the judge use two pistols, one with each hand, and fire them simultaneously. There shall be an assistant for each man in the heat. It shall be his duty to mark, as accurately as possible, the exact location of the chest of his man when the pistol is fired. He shall hold this mark till it has been taken by the judge. The track shall be marked as fol- lows: 9 7 5 3 C— j '- e- — ^~ 10 8 6 4 The line 1-2 is the finish. Spalding's athletic library. i6i The lines a-b, c-d, e-f, g-h form the lanes in which the con- testants are to run. The line 3-4 is drawn three feet from the line 1-2; the lines 5-6, 7-8, 9-10 are drawn at regular intervals of six feet. Each contestant shall have as many fifths of a second added to the score of the leading man as there are transverse lines between them when the finish pistol is fired. When a man is on a line it is to count as one-half a fifth, equivalent to five points. If a man were on the line 5-6 when the pistol was fired, and the time given was eleven seconds, there is one line between the two men ; this adds one-fifth second ; being on the line adds one-tenth more, making eleven and three-tenths sec- onds. If he had been just behind this line the score would have been eleven and two-fifths seconds, or if just in front, eleven and one-fifth seconds. Sec. 9. Timers. Not less than three watches shall be held on the leading man in each heat. Sec. 10. The Seorer shall keep a complete list of competitors and credit each man with his performance, as reported to him by the judges or timers of that event.

Any may be omitted, however, the contestant receiving zero in each such event. V. Numbers. Each competitor shall receive from the clerk of the course, and shall fasten upon his person in a conspicuous place, a num- ber by which he shall be known in that competition. VI. Running. In races on straight tracks competitors shall keep their own positions on the track from start to finish. I62 SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. VII. Running High Jump and Pole Vaulting. The stick shall be started as nearly as possible to three feet and six inches from the ground in the high jump and five feet and ten inches in the pole vault. It shall be raised thereafter two inches at a time in the high jump and four inches in the pole vault. Displacing the bar is a failure. Each contestant shall be allowed but ten jumps, and not more than three jumps at any one height. Every height attempted must be cleared be- fore another can be tried. The best one shall be counted. Contestants shall jump in regular order, as called for by the judge. A contestant may omit his jump at any height, but he cannot in any case try a height after once having "passed" it. The jump shall be made over a square bar. Three successive balks shall count as one failure, and thus be one of the ten jumps called for. It is a trial if the contestant leaves the ground in an attempt in the pole vault. It is a balk if the contestant runs under the bar in the high jump or pole vault. The "dive" is not allowed. There shall be one set of jump standards for every ten contestants. The pole vault standards may have any support in which to stick the pole. It must, however, be no higher than- the surface of the ground. Private poles may be used, but only by owners or with their permission. VIII. Throwing the Hammer. The hammer shall not be more than four feet in length, and shall weigh not less than twelve pounds. Fulfilling these condi- tions, it may be of any size, shape or material.

An attempt is as follows : When the competitor takes his place inside the cir- cle with the hammer, then lets go of the hammer and the head strikes outside of this circle, it is a try. The distance shall be measured from the nearest break in the ground caused by the hammer head to the nearest point in the circumference of the circle. A foul shall count as an attempt, but shall not be measured. A foul is as follows : When a contestant has thrown the hammer, and any portion of his person touches the ground outside the line of the half circle in the direction of the throw before the distance has been measured. No "turn" is al- lowed. Private hammers may be used, but only by the owners or with their permission. Judges must weigh and measure all hammers. IX. Rank. Every contestant scoring a total of two hundred points or over shall be entitled to bronze or third grade, with medal hay- Spalding's athletic library. 163 ing bronze bars and silver pendant. Three hundred points con- stitute the lower limit of the silver or second grade, with medal having silver bar and pendant, and also official certificate. Four hundred points entitle contestant to gold, or first grade. X. Order. The events shall begin with the dash and end with the mile run. The high jump and hammer throw shall precede the pole vault. XL Registration and Sanction. In the official Pentathlon, where men from one or more Young Men's Christian Associations compete, registration is not re- quired.

The total of the three exercises shall be divided by three. The approach shall be from a mark previously indicated in front of the apparatus. The retreat shall be from the time the feet strike the mat or floor until ''position" is secured and the contestant has marched past an indicated point. When, because of accident to the contestant in the performance of an exercise, the judges deem a second trial desirable, they may grant it, but shall then mark the exercise on a basis of a maximum of 70 points. In case of accident to the supports, a second trial shall be permitted without prejudice to the contestant. VIII. Timers. One watch shall be held on each runner. The watch shall be started at the flash of the pistol. The timers shall report to the scorer each contestant's time at the close of that event. i8o Spalding's athletic library. IX. Starter.

The scorer shall keep a complete list of all competitors, credit- ing each man with his performance in each event as reported by the judges, measurers, or timers. He shall reduce the judges' report in each event to the basis of lOO points. He shall place in the lower space the number of points made by contestants in each event as determined by the judges in marching, calisthenics, and apparatus work ; also, the number of points in athletic work, as shown by the scoring table. XL Marshal. The marshal shall have full police charge, and see that the spectators are kept in the place assigned them. XH. Clerk of the Course. The clerk of the course shall furnish each contestant, in regu- lar order, commencing with the tallest, a number by which he shall be known in that competition ; he shall also assign to him his division in the contest. Xni. Records. In using the five-grade system, in the first and second grades divide each contestant's total by 6; in the third grade by 7; in the fourth grade by 8 ; in the fifth grade by 10. The maximum in each event in this contest shall be 100 points. Each contestant's total number of points in the elementary grade shall be divided by 6, in the intermediate by 8, and in the ad- vanced by 10. XIV. Marching. The marching shall occupy not less than ten nor more than fifteen minutes, the judging being done by the measurers and judges. Contestants shall drill in line, according to number. XV. Calisthenics. The calisthenic exercises shall occupy not less than ten nor more than fifteen minutes, the judging being done by the Spalding's athletic library. i8i measurers and judges. Contestants shall be so arranged as co reduce to a minimum any advantage of position or distance from the leader. XVI. Apparatus Work. The contest on each piece of apparatus shall consist of three exercises selected by the referee (except in the advanced grade, when one exercise on each apparatus shall be selected by the contestant) on the day of competition from a list of ten, said ten exercises to have been determined upon by District, State, Section, or Governing Committee, and forwarded to Associations competing, not less than four weeks before the contest. Exception. — In a local contest the referee shall select the ex- ercises from any of that grade which have been taught during the season. XVII. Potato Race. Seventeen potatoes (or other light objects), and two boxes, four inches deep, twelve inches in diameter, set on stands two feet high, shall be furnished each contestant. The outer edges of these boxes shall be thirty-one feet apart. The runner may start on either side of the full potato box from a line parallel to its outer edge, with one potato in his hand. He shall run around both boxes each time, placing one potato in the other box, and finishing at the starting point on the opposite side of his own box. Grasping either stand in any way, failure to run around both boxes, or a failure to transfer all the potatoes singly into the other box, shall disqualify the runner. In case potatoes are dropped or upset by the runner he shall replace same without assistance before proceeding with the run. He shall not interfere with the other runner in any way. He shall be disqualified by the referee for violation of the above. The boxes may be fixed to stands, the base of which shall be approximately the same size in area as the boxes. Stands shall not be fixed to floor. XVIII. Three Standing Broad Jumps. The feet of the competitor shall leave the ground only once in making an attempt for each of the three jumps, and no stop- page between jumps shall be allowed.

XIX. Pole Vaulting and High Jump. The bar shall be raised in the high jump not less than two inches at each elevation, and in the pole vault not less than four inches. Contestants shall jump in regular order, as called by measurer. Contestant may omit his trial at any height, but shall not be allowed to try that height should be fail on the next elevation. The jump shall be made over a square bar, displacement of the bar counting as a "try." Each contestant shall be allowed not to exceed ten trials. Three failures at any height shall debar contestant from further trials in that event. A height having been attempted must be cleared before a greater height can be attempted. Contestants shall be credited with their best performance, according to the rules. Three balks shall count as a try. A balk: See rules for pole vault and high jump in Pentathlon rules. The run shall be limited to thirty-one feet in the pole vault. XX. Diplomas.

The side lines of the court should run at right angles to the service wall. The court should be approximately two and one-half times as long as the service wall is high, divided into two equal parts by a line running parallel with the service wall, which line is the service line. A space three feet square shall be marked in the outer court in both corners, formed by the service line and the side lines ; these spaces shall be termed the "partners' boxes." Ball. For the majority of Association courts the regular ten- nis ball is best. Game. — The game shall consist of twenty-one points, and may be played by two, three or four persons. Rule i. The choice for the right to serve shall be decided by toss. Rule 2. The player serving the ball shall be termed the server, and the player to whom the ball is served the receiver. Rule 3, At the end of the first service the server shall be- come the receiver and the receiver the server, and so on alter- nately in all subsequent services of the game. Rule 4. The ball must be served from behind the service line within the court. The server may stand with one foot in front of the service line. On the service the ball must be struck from a bounce behind the service line, hit the service wall and then land in the outer court (beyond the service line). Rule 5. A fault consists of a ball not served over the ser- vice line, or a ball served over the back or side lines. Two con- secutive faults shall retire the server. A fault cannot be re- turned. Rule 6. The server shall not serve until the receiver is ready. After a server has been retired he shall be given sufficient time to get into position before play is resumed. If the latter at- tempts to return the service he shall be deemed ready. * See Diagram on page 188. 1 86 Spalding's athletic library. Rule 7. A service or fault delivered when the receiver is not ready counts for nothing. Rule 8. The ball is in play on leaving the server's hand, ex- cept as provided for in Rule 5. Rule 9. The server wins a point if the receiver fails to re- turn the service or ball in play so that it drops outside the court ; or if the receiver loses as provided by Rule 16. Only the side serving scores. Rule 10. The server loses his service if he serves two con- secutive faults ; or if he fails to return the ball in play ; or if he returns the ball in play so that it falls outside of the court; or, if in attempting to serve, he fails to strike the ball ; or if the ball, when served, fails to strike the service wall first ; or if he otherwise loses as provided by Rule 16. Rule ii. A ball falling on the line is regarded as falling in- side the court. Rule 12. In a four-handed game, the side serving first is al- lowed but one service at the commencement of the game. After the first service each side is allowed two consecutive services, the two partners alternating in turn. The server's partner must stand in one of the ''partners' boxes" until the ball strikes the service wall on each service. In a three-handed game the single player shall have every alternate service. Rule 13. If the ball, when served, strikes the server or his partner, it retires the server. If it strikes the receiver or re- ceiver's partner, before or after bouncing, it becomes non-play- able and counts a point for the server. If the ball in play strikes a player it shall count against such player. Rule 14. A hinder is — (a) When the player is prevented by the proximity of a spec- tator from properly returning the ball. {b) When a player interferes with another in such a manner as to prevent him from properly returning the ball. (c) When the ball strikes any apparatus within the court lines and such apparatus is not higher than the service wall. A hinder shall count nothing. Rule 15. The use of the foot is debarred. Only one hand may be used in striking the ball, and it may be struck but once on the return. Violation of this rule shall count against the player so doing. Rule 16. The officials shall be a referee, scorer, and lines- man. (a) The Referee shall decide all questions pertaining to the serving of the ball and its return, and shall be judge of hinders and faults, and shall decide all questions not covering these rules His decision shall be final on all questions.

Any number of persons may play that is convenient to the place. It consists of keeping the ball in motion over a high net from one side to the other, thus partaking of the character of two games — tennis and hand ball. Play is started by a player on one side serving the ball over the net into the opponents' court. The opponents, without al- lowing the ball to strike the floor, return it, and it is in this way kept going back and forth until one side fails to return it, or it strikes out of bounds. If the serving side fails to re- turn the ball in the opponents' court, it counts as an out. If the receiving side fails to return the ball in the opponents' court, the serving side scores one point. RULES. Rule i. Game. The game shall consist of twenty-one points. Rule 2. Court. A court or floor space shall be 25 feet wide, 50 feet long, to be divided into two square courts 25 x 25 feet by the net. The boundary lines must be plainly marked so as to be visible from all parts of the courts ; these lines shall be at least three feet from the wall.. Note. — The exact size of the court may be changed to suit the convenience of the place. Rule 3. Net. The net shall be at least two feet wide and 27 feet long, and shall be suspended from the walls on uprights placed at least i foot outside of the side lines. The top line of the net at the center must be 7 feet 6 inches from the floor. Rule 4. Ball. The ball shall be round ; it shall be made of a rubber bladder covered with leather. It shall measure not less than 25 inches nor more than 27 inches in circumference, and shall weigh not less than 9 ounces nor more than 12 ounces. Rule 5. Server and Service. The server shall stand with * Suggested changes presented to the Physical Directors' Conference, June, 1900, by W. E. Day, and adopted by Governing Committee. I go SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. one foot on the back line. The ball must be batted with the open hand and not struck with the fist. The ball may be served over the net into any part of the opponents' court. A service which strikes the net or anything within the playing space and falls good in the opponents' court shall be called a fault. A server shall lose his service if he serves two consecutive faults. A service which strikes the net, or any object within the play- ing space and falls without the opponents' court, shall retire the server. In a service the ball must be batted at least ten feet, no dribbing allowed. A service which would strike the net, but is struck by a player of the same side before striking the net. if it goes over into the opponents' court, is good. The man serving continues to do so. until out, either by the ball being knocked out of bounds by his side or their failure to return it. Each man shall serve in turn. Rule 6. Scoring. Each good service unreturned or ball in play unreturned, or ball knocked out of bounds by the side re- ceiving, counts one point for the side serving. A side scores only when serving as a failure to return the ball on their part or knocking the ball out of bounds, results in the server being put out. Rule 7. Net Ball. A play which is returned, but strikes the net aside from the first service, is equivalent to a return. Rule 8. Li)ie Ball. Is a ball striking the boundary line, and is equivalent to one in court. Rule 9. Play and Players. Should any player during the game touch the net, it puts the ball out of play and counts against his side ; if said player is on the serving side the ball goes to the opponents ; if on the receiving side, one point is scored for the server. Should two opponents touch the net simultaneously, the ball shall be declared out of play and shall be served again by the serving side. Should any player catch or hold the ball for an instant, it is out of play and counts for the opposite side. Should the ball strike any object within the playing space other than the floor and ceiling, and bound (back) into the court, it is still in play. If the ball strikes any object outside of the court and bounds back again, it shall count against the side which struck it last. To dribble is to strike the ball quickly and re- peatedly into the air ; dribbling is not allowed. Any player ex- cept the captain addressing the umpire, or making remarks to or about him or any of the players on the opposite side, may be disqualified and his side be compelled to play the game with- out him, or get a substitute, or forfeit the game. Any player kicking the ball may be disqualified and his side be compelled to play the game without him or get a substitute or forfeit the game. Spalding's athletic library. iQi Rule io. No player shall be allowed to strike the ball while supported by any player or object, but must strike it while on tl e floor or while jumping up unassisted. Rule ii.

It is very important that the beginner in athletics should know what to wear for the dif- ferent sports. The cross country runner requires a shoe with a low, broad heel, and spikes in sole of shoe; he can haye spikes in the heel or not, just as it suits him. A pair of Spalding's No. 14 shoes, which are made of the finest Kangaroo leather, and used by all the prominent cross country runners, cost $5.50 per pair. A sprinter will require a pair of sprinting shoes, No. 2-0, that retail for $5.50. It was with this style shoe that Wefers made all his records. John Cregan, the Inter-Collegiate Champion, wore them, as well as Charles Kilpatrick, the peerless half-mile runner and celebrated record holder. The sweater, No. A. of finest Australian lamb's wool, was made origin- ally by special order for the Yale foot ball team and now used by all col- lege athletes, is one of the best in the market, sells for $6.co; athletic shirt. No. 600, at $1.25; athletic pants, No. 3, at 75 cents ; a supporter is very essential for an athlete and nearly all the champions use them ; No. 5 is the most suit- able one and retails at 75 cents; a pair of corks will cost the athlete 15 cents ; pushers for the running shoes, 25 cents ; the bath robe is now an essential part of an athlete's outfit — these retail at $5.00. This complete outfit costs $19.65. The second quality of the same line of goods can be bought as follows: Sprinting shoes, No. 10, $4.50; sweater. No. B. $5.00 ; shirt. No. 6E, 50 cents ; pants, No. 4. 50 cents ; supporter. No. "ji, 50 cents ; corks. No. I, 15 cents; pushers, No. 5, 25 cents; bath robe, $3.50. This second grade outfit costs $14.90. The pole-vaulter wmII want the same outfit, with the exception of a pair of jumping shoes, No. 14-H. which sell for $5.50, and a pair of wrist supporters. No. 200, which can be bought for about 40 cents. There is one article that a pole- vaulter must have, and that is his own pole. There is an awful lot in getting used to a pole and having confi- dence in the one that is yours, because no other contestant is allowed to use it according to the rules, which is quite right, for we have often seen a pole-vaulter make the fatal mistake of allow- ing much heavier men to use his pole and break it. Any one can naturally understand that a man who weighs 160 pounds cannot use a pole designed for a man weighing 115 pounds. The best pole on the market for athletic purposes is the 15-foot 6-inch pole as supplied by A. G. Spalding & Bros, to the Prince- Jumping- and Hurdling Shoes. ton University A. A. This pole is made of hollow spruce, thus being much lighter, and owing to a special preparation with which it is filled, the strength and stiffness is greatly increased. It re- tails for $10.50; a 14- foot pole, hollow, retails for $9.50, and the solid for $6.00. Usually the vault- er will wrap the pole to suit his own tastes. The high jumper and the broad jumper will want an outfit as fol- lows : Jumping shoes, No. 14-H, $5.50; sweater, No. A, $6.00; shirt. No. 600, $1.25; pants, No. 3, 75 cents ; supporter, No. 5, 75 cents; corks. No. i, 15 cents; pushers. No. 5, 25 cents; bath robe, $5.00. An outfit with several of the articles of a cheaper grade than the above, costs: Jumping shoes, No. 14-H, $5.50; sweater. No. B, $5.00; shirt. No. 6E, 50 cents; pants. No, 4, 50 cents; sup- porter, No. 2, 50 cents; corks. No. i, 15 cents; pushers. No. 5, 25 cents; bath robe, $3.50. The man' who throws the weights will require the same wear- ing apparel as the pole-vaulter or the runner. John Flanagan and James Mitchel, two of the greatest weight throwers in the world, wear what is known as the No. 14-H shoe, with a short spike, which retails for $5.50. It is very essential that the weight thrower should have his own implements ; in fact, nearly all the champion weight throwers carry their own weights with them and guard them jealously. Without doubt the best hammer in the market to-day is the ball- bearing championship hammer as designed and used by John Intercollegiate Sweater. Sleeveless ShirL. Flanagan, the record holder and champion thrower of the world. This sells for $10.00. An extra leather case for carrying these hammers will cost the athlete $2.00. The regulation hammer, lead, you can get for $4.50 and the iron at $3.25. The 16-pound shot, lead, will cost $2.50, and the iron, $1.75. The 56- pound weight, lead, will cost $10.00. While on this subject I would advise any weight thrower who wants to become expert to carry his own weights and particularly his own hammer. He can then arrange to have the grip made to suit himself, and when necessary to cover it with leather, and he will not be called upon when he goes to a competi- tion to take the ordinary hammer with a handle wnth which he is not familiar. Athletes should make it a point to have two suits of athletic apparel, one for competition and one for practice purposes. The clothing that some of our crack athletes wear in competition is a disgrace to athletics, and it adds a great deal to an athlete's appearance to appear neat and clean when taking part in athletic competition. In prac- tice within one's club or grounds al- most any kind of clothing can be used. A sprinter should have two pairs of running shoes, one a very heavy pair for practicing in (the cross country shoe, No. 14C, makes a very good shoe for this purpose,- and can be had with or without spikes on heels), and a light pair for racing. One of the best professional sprinters that ever wore a shoe made it a point to train for all his races in very heavy sprinting shoes. Aside from the benefit Running Pants. that is claimed for practicing in heavy shoes, you always feel as though you have a pair of shoes that will be ready for any race that is scheduled, and bear in mind it does not pay to buy athletic implements or clothing that are cheap. They don't wear and cannot give you the service that you will get from articles that are official and made by a reputable house. Athletes and athletic club officials would do well to procure a copy of the Athletic Primer (No. 87) of Spalding's Athletic Li- brary). This book fully covers the construction of athletic grounds and tracks, the management of games, formation of new clubs, etc. It also contains illustrations and diagrams of what might be considered a perfect athletic track. In laying out or re-arranging grounds great care should be taken to see that the field sports can go on without interference, and in the management of a large meeting it is very essential that more than one field sport should go on at one time. There- fore it should be ar- ranged to have the running broad jump, running high jump, and the circle for weight-throwing separated. In order to have your plant as perfect as possible, it is necessary that you have all the apparatus that is necessary, not only to conduct an athletic meet, but to give the different athletes an opportunity to practice the various sports. There are many things that are required. Great care should be taken in the arrange- ment of the broad jump. The toe board is a very important article and is generally over- looked, and the runway re- quires as much attention as the track. At the average athletic grounds the jumping path is usually neglected. Take-off Board. Toe Board or Stop Board. In the sprint races, wherever pos- sible, each contestant should be given his own lane. A lane can be made of iron stakes driven in the ground about eighteen inches apart and Lanes for Sprint Races. strung with COrds. For the pole vaulters and high jumpers you should procure two sets of wooden apparatus — Spalding's complete apparatus VAULT! i\l6 STANDARD. AND POLES. No. 109. If the pole jump and high jump go on at the same time, an extra lot of cross-bars should be on hand and three or lour different poles. The regulation 56-povind weight, known as the "Mitchel" weight, can be secured for $10.00. Regulation 56-Lb. Weight. Regulaeion 16-Lb. Hammer For the w^eights you will be required to furnish a i6-lb. Spald- ing Championship Bail Bearing Hammer, as originally designed by Champion John Flanagan. It is now universally used by all the good weight throwers. The ball-bearing swivel hammer is in great demand and favored. It does away with the breaking and the 12-pound of linndk's, and Flanagan claims it can be thrown many feet further than the old style hammer. Schoolboys invariably use the 12-pound shot and the 12-pound hammer. If they desire lead shot, it usually costs a little more than the iron. The 16-pound iron shot can be bought for about $1.75, Shot. for $1.50. The most suitable hurdles on the mar- ket are the Foster Patent Safety Hur- dles. The frame is 2 feet 6 inches in height with a horizontal rod passing through it two feet above the ground. The hurdle is a wooden gate 2 feet high swinging on this rod at a point 6 inches from one of the sides and 18 inches from the other. With the short side up it , ^ ^ . , r ^1 , Foster Patent Safety Hurdle measures 2 feet 6 mches from the ground, at 2 ft. 6 in. height. and with the long side up 3 feet 6 inches. The hurdle can be changed from one height to the other in a few seconds, and is held firmly in either position by a thumb-screw on th: rod. It would be hard to conceive any device more simple or more easily handled than this. The inven- Foster Patent Safety Hurdle tion was used exclusively at the Olympic at 3 ft. 6 in. height.

This re- tails for $5.00. A 1 • Official Discus. A megaphone is now a necessary adjunct to an athletic meeting. With a megaphone almost any amateur can announce the results distinctlv. starter's Pistol Measuring Tape The captain ol the club should endeavor to have in his posses- sion a pistol so that the boys can practice starting, and a whistle for announcing that everything is ready for a start and also for attracting the attention of the officials, several measuring tapes and several balls of yarn foi the finish. • The athlete is also advised to consult the following books, which contain a great deal of useful and necessary information on their respective subjects: No. 27— College Athletics.

When hits are few and the enemy's pitchers steady, it becomes Incumbent on the opposing team to get around the bases in some manner.
