This sad tragedy irinlshed tho athletic career of the world's greet- est hammer thrower.

Athletics is a young man's game. it requires constant and diligent training and clean living. The Un- ited States is the greatest athletic hot house in the world. Every high school has Spalding goods for young athletes. iAmatcur athletics is commercialized there. According
