By PERCY H. WHITINO.
Omn,f tlip-umieit ■IshtriiTiliH world is a pugilMtic ‘Mcml
one" who doesn't know it. Kill Lavigne is now trying to get u

Let’h hear froin you, John L.
The jockeys over in San Francisco are giving trouble, too.
Little Walter Miller took the count last week for a rough ride on
tiolnmnn, and is on the ground for a week. It is too bad that
even the good jockeys cannot rido with suflieient judgment to
keep out of the elutethes of tho not over strict officials.
More than 200,000 school children are enrolled in the Public
Schools Athletic League of Greater New York, and at least 1,000
of these will start in a single raco in their coming meet,
That is tho wav to do business.
Athlcties in Ameriea at present nro given over too much to
the perfect development of a few men, rather than tho general
physical improvement of tho many.
And of courso this is wrong.
What college and school athletic associations should atrivo
for—if they havo the greatest good of the greatest number at
heart—is to interest as many ns possible in athletic work.
The usual college system is all wrong.
Much time and money is spent in developing a few men to
compete with tho best men in other colleges.
This results in interesting contests and is favored by most
colleges, for a good athletic team of any kind is a good advertise
ment
But a football team which may possiblyJmtnrouT 40 men,
a track team which brings nut a liku-ntmTher and a Imselml! team
which probably iuterests a few less, makes a -vrry^small dent
in the physical development of a college of two, three or four
thousand men.
A realization of the necessity of developing physically ns well
as mentally the men intrusted to thelr care ts-enmhig over tho col-
lege moguils of the country. Harvard has a hunch Of small ath
letic fields, innumerable tennis courts, boat houses for minor
crews, class events and a number of contrivances for bringing out
—men who aTO irot gnnd"eTiongh tmnnkc their cnllcge tennis. At~
Vanderbilt gymnasium work is compulsory, though it is such an
easy matter to get excused from it that the ‘‘compulsory”, part is
largely a joke. And so it goes iu the colleges of the country.
Outdoor work ought to ho especially encouraged among school
children and college men. The development a boy receives iu
a gymnasium is no doubt a good thing, hut the development he
gets in the open air is wortlLseveral times as much.
