He ran barefoot because shoes chafed him. The other competitors, seeing Loues getting along famously, took oft their shoes. Lemurslaux, the Frenchman, col- lapsed. Flack, tho Australian, gave up. Blake, tho American, withdrew. They all had blisters. Loues had a glass of wine. When he arrived at the stadium where the race finished, the Crown Prince of Greece and Prince George paced him to the line, one on each side of him, and the King waved his yachting cap. Nowadays, with more than thirty years of experience to go on, mara- thon runners disagree ou methods of training, on diet, on clothing and on many other things, but they all agree on pickling the feet. After the pick- ling, however, the disagreement be- gins again. Some say tho feet should he rubbed with vaseline; some that they should be rubbed with' tallow. Others favor talcum powder. As one cannot teach an old doK new tricks and as most of tho great distance run- ners are no longer young, the pros- pect of a uniform procedure seems re- mote.

The Marathon A Purely Amateur Sport That Appeals More to the Mid- dle Aged Than to ihe Youth , MINI S ON DIET. ETC. By Byran Field. Twoniytilx miles, three hundred and eighty-five yards is, to most peo- ple, the diKfanco betwuon two railroad Btationfi. To n small group of ath- letes, drawn from most of the coun- tries of tho world, it is the distance to bo traveled on foot In the most grueling tost in sport. It is tho mara- thon dihtunro. The first man to run It dropped dead.- One of tho last to run It nurned his bllsterod toos for dayii on tho roof of a Long llcach hotel. Wlien the gallant Dorando stagger- ed Into the London Stadium in the Olympic games of 1908, delirious, bMnd with fatigue and so oxhausod that ha could not run tho last 400 yanls to victory, marathon running was branded as worse than pugilism, more brutal than bull flghtlng. Yet the ofTort of this obscure confectioner from the Ishind of Capri started a craze for distance running the like of which was never seen before and has not been approached since. Johnny Hayes won Uio race, al- thoBxh llnlshlng second, ttorando was aasluled, practically carried, over the lino by course offlclals and was dis- quuliflod. Hayes landed In America to receive a huge ovation and to step Into the midst of a mania for distance running that swept from coast to coast and transcended anything In sport In 1908, 1909 and 1910. The craze also focused attention on the origin of that race that, so far as Is known, was run only once before Ittd. In 490 li.C. Pheidlppides. a sol- dier, ran from the plain of Marathon to Athens â€" 2< mites 386 yards. Ho carried the tidings that Mlltlados, Commandei- o fthe Oreeks, bad with a pun^ force turned back the Invading P«r«l«n host and that Athens was Mtf«. After delivering his message the coiller dropped dead from eihaus- Uon. tJnchronfeled bf llerodotiu, this IneidoQt WM Jarfel/ forgottAB untU ' the revival of the Olympic Games in 1898 caused the Qreek Oovernment to request the establishment of a race that would commemorate the feat. From that day to this hundreds of marathons have been run all over the world. Care of Feet. Pickled feet are the most important things in hiarathon running. To bo sound In wind and limb and to ho pos- sesses of a strong heart and plenty of grit are not enough. From tho days o fthe bruisers In tho London prize ring down to the esthetic Mr. Tunney, pugilists have hardened their flr.t,^ In brine. Feet are as importaui to Marathon runners as fists are tu prize fighters. S. Loues, a Greek peasant, reputed to have worked lu the fields in his amateurs In the world. There Is no "gate" nowadays in marathons; the races are run along the public thoroughfares. There are no "ex- penses" offered by clubs as induce- mouts. A Hobby. The marathoners have their trade, and they have their hobby. Their hobby Is marathoning. Clarence De Mar runs to and from work each day. Harry Parkinson does tho same. Mor- ris chases his horse afoot along the milk route. A story Is told of Olln S. Weeks, who la nearer 60 than 60, and of his love for distance running. Get- ting away early from work one after- noon. Weeks felt like a Jaunt and ran fifteen miles. He wont home, washed up and had supper. After supper ho sal around and things were a little ' mis has been so toughened as to re dull. Ho put on his hat, wont out and I sist bllfiters. One of tho grittiost of covered another fifteen miles. Tlirn ' the big men Is Nicholas Glannakop- he went to bed. Distance running is done most ef- ficiently by''men who are no longer young. A boxer is old at 30. At SO a marathoner Is callow. De Mar' la 40. Kennedy must be 45. Nick Gianna- kopulos l3 36 and ^Vhltoy Mlchelson Is well over 30. Pai^lnson Is 40. Weeks was running at 55. The Stride. In twenty-six odd miles of mara- thoning about thirty-five thousand strides should be taken. That's about thirteen thousand for ten miles. The marathon stride Is peculiar. It should not be graceful; It should he a shuf- fle. Of course the shuffle can be harmonious. Alfred Shrubb, England's great marathoner, was considered the most graceful of distance men. Tom Longboat, the Onondaga Indian from Canada, was considered awkward. Yet both were great runners. Charley Paddock is said to have cleared twen- ty feet In his last great jump for the tape In the hundred-yard dash, Paavo Nurml's stride was about seven feet iu the mile and two-mile runs he did so sensationally. A marathon stride is about four feet. The legs are not kicked up behind as In a short race. It takes eflort to lift the leg high off the ground. Most of the great distance men run flat- footed. It means less strain. The arms are carried low. Kicking the legs up and holding the arms high when one does It 35,000 times in three hours Is a matter to be considered. To look at De Mar in the course of any of his races would cause one to expect him to stop wHhln half a mile. His face looks strained and he ap- pears dog-tired. Yet De Mar has flre times won the Boston marathon. Size Handicap. Big men do not make good distance runners. Shrubb was tall, hnt gang- ling. Longboat was tall, but slender. Hayes was a small man. Dorando and Strobino and St. Ives were not many Inches over five feet. De Mar and Mlchelson are welter-weights. Quana- wahu weighs about 125 pounds. The constant pounding which a big man's feet aro subjected to over the long route so blisters and bruiser them that it Is next to Impossible for him to go on. No amount of pickling will prevent the tissue iusido the skin from nwolUng, oven though the opider- ulos. To-day he weighs close to 200 pounds. He weighed 175 in his great- est races, among them tho national senior cross-country championship and the famous squad hike from Times Square to the ThIrteenUi Re- giment Armory In Brooklyn. Diet. The matter of diet Is another point on which the various marathon run- ners have their own ideas. Some drlng nothing but water. Some drink tea and some milk. It Is noticeable that all eschew coffee. Despite the glass of wine that spurred Loues on to victory in 1896, olcohollc liquors are taboo. Without exception, the great dis- tance men believe In eating heartily. As much as ten pounds may be lost by a marathon runner, aq^ a man hardly over completes a race tvlthout losing at least five pounds. It is well defined opinion among tho veterans, therefore, that they had better eat 1 2^000 men during those' months everything they can get, so long as it Is wholesome food. Fried food seems to be unpopular. Potatoes were con- sidered too starchy until Pat White, the Irish champion, flashed some rare form( and Matt Maloney, the Trinity Club star, admitted that potatoes were a very important part of his diet. Said Matt: "Potatoes are an Irish food, and the Irish are great distance runners." Some runners believe in taking re- freshment during a race. In the ear- ly marathons it was considered the thing to do. Now it is against the A. A. TJ. rules. In certain races prac- tices had grown to promulgate rules providing that the use of dope or liquor would be grounds for disquali- fication. The consensus seems to be taht water is tlie only helpful refresh- ment in a marathon. This is not against the rules. There was no marathon in the old Olympic Games. The origin of the games is lost In antiquity, according to authorities; but Time was dated from the Olympiad of Coroebus, which was held In 776 B.C. In those days they named the Olympiad after tho winner of the footrace. The Em- pecpr Theodoslus suppressed the Olympic Games in 394 A.D., because, It la believed, he considered them inimical to Christianity. The foot- raco in those games was probably not longe rthan 100 yards. A longer race was late rinaugurated, but It seems to have been not over a mile length. The *^Menin Gate*^ Nearly m many men of the British Empire passed over the Menin road to the Ypres salient not only never to return but ever to lie there without a grave, "unknelled. uncofflned and unknown." as the United States lost by death In the World War. . In the panels of "Menln Gate," dedicated at Ypres as the "empire's greatest mem* orial." are written under Kipling's in- scription the names of fifty-six thous- and men "to whom the fortunes of war denied tho known and, honored burial given to their comrades in death." If to these were added the names of those who traveled that same road during the four years but found known burial they would fill four times as many panels and multi- ply by four the total number of Ameri- can dead. What happened In those fields of' Flanders behind that monument of glory the world should never forget,' for ita own sake C3 well as for the sake of those who perished there, e>* pecially in the last Battle of Ypres,' from the 31st of July, 1917, to the 4th of November, when, by "a sudden ad-' vance the First Division and the Canadian Second Division" captured PasBchendaele and brought the battle to a close by victory. "All the agonies' of war," said Sir Philip Gibbs, "which t have attempted to describe were "piled up in those fields of Flanders." Nothing was "missing in the list of war's abominations." Nor was any< thing missing in the list of human valor. Nothing that had been written, said Sir Philip, was more than "a pals image" of the awfuloess of the thlni itself. There were months of battle in which our (British) mon advanced through slime Into slime, under ths slash of machine-gun bullets, shrap* nel and high explosives, wet to ths skin, chilled to the bone, plastered uf to the eyes in mud, with a dreadful way back for walking wounded, and but little chance for wounded who could not walk. The losses' in many of these battles amounted almost ta annihilation' to many battalions; and whole divisions lost as much as 50 per cent, of their strength after a few days' action. . . . Napoleon said that not)ody of men could lose more than 25 per cent, of their fighting strength in an action without being broken in spirit. Our men lost dauble that, but kept their courage, thoujrh In somo cases they lost their hopa. A Lancashire division lo.=-t S.SIO men In casualties out of 0,049. A Highland brigade lost 87 officers and ha in I PALESTINE EARTHQUAKE Irish divisions had as brave a record. The Eighth Dublins ware all hut an- nihilated in holding the lino. On the night before battles hundreds were gassed, but their comrades attacked and lost over 2,000 more and 1G3 of< ficers. The Ninth Dublins lost 15 of< fleers out of 17 and 6C per cent, of ths men. But the line was held. Pericles said over the Athenian dead that they had won the most hoi> orable of sepulchres, not that in which they are burled but that la which their glory snrvived. Kren those who were without burial want not their hearse, for unto them "s tomb's the universe," and we of all the universe have roa.°on to stand with gratitude befor? that gate of honor to those who parlshed behind it. But for their endiiranco and thai of their comrades, living and dead, it would bo not a momorial of their sacrifice but a monument to their do- teat â€" a gate opening to tho sea and to our own coasts. And yet wo con- tinue to speak of tholr debt to us â€" their debt who have put us and all tb' world in eternal debt to them. Those who lie in Planderj, is graves marked or unmarked, would wish to have written en those vasi panels what Plato wrote for tho Kra- trlan soldiers who died as o.xUes in Persia â€" changing only tho plac« names: "We who left the booming surge of the ocean lie hero in tha plain of Flanders; fare thou well. n> nownod Kngland, mother country ot us all; farewell London, nigh to ell within the British Isles; farewell deal sea." But hastening to "set a crown ot freedom" on tho world, they "ll« possessed of praise that grows not old." The "dear soa" was not roach' ed by those In whoso path they stood valiantly iu life and piled tholr bodtoi lu death as a barrier. â€" N.Y. Times.
