M Tewanlma’s running mate, to race
nin) and give him much-need^ advice
alon^ the way.
At the twelfth, mile, when Tewanlma
was in sixth plac^ the “Achilles” ten
don on his right heel gave way. Fors-
haw did the best he could to fix up the
little Indian, but It w|^s to no avail.
Finally, after all but three of the two
hundred entrants had passed b>\ ?yar-
shaw decided to give up his efforts
with Tewanlma, whom he helped into
one of the emergencj\automobile8. Joe
then set sail for the rest of the field,
which by this time was strung out
for five mlei ahead.
One by cme he cut them down, and
when he arrived upon the Stadium
track to begin the lp,st final sprint,
Dorando was just being helped across
the line. Joe was going like a steam
lifcomotlve and, had the race been half
a mile longer, he would have passed
Johnny Hayes and Hefferou, of South
Africa, who were ahead of him. At it
was, Forshaw finished officially third,
which was no mean honor in itself,
but the story of his remarkable thlr-
teen-mlle sprint through the hordes
of struggling athletes. Is worth re
telling. Probably never again will such
an exhibition of fight against odds be
displayed in any marathon. Likelihood
is that, if Joe had run for himself all
the way, he would have finished ahead
of tlve whole bunch.
And now comes word from the
Mound City that Forshaw is going to
“rome back." He has been on the re
tired list since that race, but he has
always been a clean-living fellow', so he [
feels confident that he will again be
able to deliver the goods. His pres
ence would add not a little to the sen
timent connected with the big race,
and it is our earnest hope that the
Olympic committee see enough merit
in the veteran ^oe to select him to
represent his flag for the third time.

College Women Say They Want Four
Children.
In the January Woman's Home Com
panion is an article, entitled “Is the
American Man a Failure?” Following
is an interesting extract:
“A recent investigation among col
lege w’omen was mad« by Robert
Haven SQliauffier, and college women,
as canvassed by him, desired at least
four children. The statistics of Har
vard College shows that the ^erage
number of children for the class of
1884 jier married graduate was 2.00;
for the class of '85. 2.07; the class of
*86, 2.02; class of ’87, 1.67; class of
*88, 1.80; class of 'S9. 1.72. and in these
classes the eiircentage of married
grarduates without children varied be
tween nineteen and twenty-eight per
cent. It is not probable that there is
very much dilTei'ence between the re
cords of Harvard College and those of
any other eastern college for men; it
is a fairly typical statement of the
class of men of this generation, and
yot the young w’omen of the present
generation would be glad to have four
or fiv^ chijdren. And in this canvass
made by Mr. Schaufer there were
practically no women who made the
statement that they didn’t want any
children.”

San Francisco, Cal., Dee; 23.—What
becomes of a pu'gisilsic cha.m'plonship
when the hplder of it retires voluntari

.This question,has been up for discus

If if s-hould be decided lhat the man,
w'ho held the championship before
Johnson is best entitled to it, the av
erage parson w'ould have ' to think
twice iDefore deciding who really is the
man. ' ‘ ,
Johnson was regarded as the cham-
^pion after he defeated Tommy Burns
In Australia, but, in the opinion of the
majority Burns never had a. perfect
right to call himself champion of ^he
world.
Jeffries undeniably w'as , champion
when he retired. After he .decided to
fight Johnson, the “b6iler-maker” let
it bo- known that he still considered
himseL the king of the beayies. His
stand was upheld, too, by n^imbfers of
critics, and when Jeffrie? ent^e4 the
ring at Reno, he tried to persuade him
self that he was defending hip old-time
title rather than. trying to' .wrest it
frq^n the negro
As things went, it matters - littlef
what Jeffries thought of it. What
would puzzlie u& all -to decide right
now is w^ho should Johnson’s title re
vert to, Jeffries or Tommy BnrrtS?

Coaches like Mike Murphy, I^wson
Robertson a^id Bemie Wefers change
the style of practically every man who
comes under their tutelage. The reasj
on for this is that faults in form are
very hard to correct, so the trainer has
to start to teach an athlete in an en
tirely new w«,y, instead Qf tbe tedious
manner of correcting all his faults.
This teaching of style i& very essen
tial, and is pro4uct,ive of woMerful re

his development to _such an extent
that he never accomplished jmythjng
