Track and Field Sports, if Not Abused, Bound to Benefit All Men THE VALUE OF CLEAN LIVING IN ATHLETICS r T A HIS is the second of a seri J Thomson, world’s champ in Athletics.” By Fred C. Thomson. WORLD'S CHAMPION ATHLETE. IN dealing with this subject I must draw more from my ob servation than from personal experience, for as yet I do not judge that I have come into the after-life of an athlete. I have heard athletics objected to on the ground that it was a. strain. Nothing could be more narrow. A strain? Surely it's a strain, and therein lies whatever of good there may be in it. And the word "strain” I am using as it was used to me—that is. a tension or stress. And those who claimed it was a strain thought that their point, in objection to athletics, had been won when I readily agreed that athletics was a strain. But rather than winning their point, by their own statement they lost it, and that hopelessly. For the very worthwhileness of athlet ics lies in the fact that it furnlshee a strain, a tension, a stress, a pro bation, if you please. "But the strain of athletics is a drain." they cry; “it breaks men.” I'll admit that it breaks men. The Abuse of Athletics. But that tells me nothing against athletics. Men drown in water. Does that say that it would be mercy to re fuse a parched, thirsty child a cool glass of water? Men have been burnt with fire. For that reason would you refuse to hold your numb hands to the welcome warmth of some cheery blaze? The objection Is not to athletics, but to the abuse of athletics. And I object just as vehetnently- pos sibly more so—to those abuses, and they are many. But in that num ber the mere fact of a strain con sequent upon athletic activity has no place. Why, the possession of free will entails a strain. Would we, then, throw away free will? When a child learns to walk it is a tremendous strain on the un tried, unhardened -muscles. For that reason would you keep the sons of men crawling on hands and knees wherever they go? Does the birth cry mark an easy, a simple occurrence? Why. everything that counts follows strain Sacrifice Is Well Rewarded. But strain may break! surely! But that is not nearly as impor tant a fact as that nothing but strain can make. But how does all this fit the top ic I am writing of? Just this way: To withstand the strain of ath letics a man must take such and such care of himself. He musi eat such and such things. Certain oth er things he dare not do nor eat. To the man that finally makes good the end in view, of athletic promi nence or of personal satisfaction, is big enough to make him willing to sacrifice those little freedoms of ways of living that are pleasant to him, to which he is accustomed hut which do not go with good fondl- es of articles written exclusively fi ion all-around athlete, on the subji tion Now, it is just the way in which a man regards and uses this period nf denial that shows wheth er he is to be finally made nr broken by the strain of the tests he is preparing for. To some men training, with its enforced absti nences. is a tedious, irksome thing. They look forward'To the day they can break training, when they can cut loose and bo free again. They never get beyond training merely because they have to. Just such a man I helped carry off a field not so long ago. For three-quarters of an hour 1 worked over him before I dared trust his heart to follow one beat after another as it should. When he was w eakest he whimper ingly pleaded for whisky—"just to smell." I wet my handkerchief and held it for him. He drew as deep breaths as his stagnant-blooded lungs would allow and whispered. "My, but that's good, good. I'll be mightily glad when this training business is over.” If I had not known him already that would have told me enough. Training a Revelation. But there are some men to whom training with its sane laws and re quirements is a revelation. They not only get a habit of decent liv ing. they learn the happiness of a clean body and a clean life. I saw more than one man, when a great game was done, training over, all that could be wished of a season's work finished, sitting around a magnificent banquet ta ble, in such a banquet room as has few equals in the world, leave un touched every one of four glasses that were by their places. The long, long, thin glasses that spar kled deep, the shallower ones that were filled with richest hues, reds, greens were untouched. Enticing? Yes; hut to those men who had really tasted the rich, satisfying pleasure of a sound body and free, pure, richly coursing blood in un- Men of | iasie like I I the besi Burley I 1 natural leaf Idruhmonol NATURAL LEAF [ CHEWING TOBACCO | ir The Georgian by Fred C. ?ct “The Value of Clean Living clogged veins, holding to that was more enticing. Let me make this whole thing very definite. The man who is not by nature prohibited and treats himself fairly, before, during and after, will never be hurt by and will be greatly helped by what ever he may do in athletics. Real Athlete Must Live Clean. To be as good as any man may be in athletics he must live clean ly. He must pay the price. Does that sound like a hard statement? It isn't. To he as good as anay man may be. in anything, he must live clean ly. He must pay the price. More than that, TO HOLD ONE'S a MAN MUST LIVE CLEANLY. MORE EVEN THAN THAT. TO BE A CHRIS TIAN A MAN MUST LIVE CLEANLY. AND THIS LAST IS THE FINAL DEED, THE ABOVE ALL OTHERS ESSENTIAL THING. THAT'S WHAT REALLY’ COUNTS. FINN RELEASES KNEAVES. CHATTANOOGA, TENN.. May 31.
