In th .summer of U0 at Athena. . th 'American nth lete won the greatest number' of events they hav triumphed. 'In at a Olympic gathering. : In the five mile event Georg Bonhag was forced to lower his colors to Lieu tenant Hawtrey, the English champion. In 28 minutes 251-6 seconds. In those days this time waa considered' very fast because the art of specializing had not beran fn nlnv mn nrnminnnt narf in track athletics 'as it does today. Hawtrey won because he used a style common among English distance run nera. It consisted of an extreme speed In the early part of th race, with the result that after a few mile the British lieutenant wa running In the lead all alone. Used American Method. 1 Bonhag, Ilk the majority flt Ameri can runners, affected the American method, which differed In Che respect that they used no early speed and de pended on an average pace to win. In running parlance, the new method was termed "running from . the , gun," and it typifies the highest form of special! cation in distance running. .On his return home, Bonhag, himself a great student of the game,, realizing this style was capable of better re- suits and faster time, trained to master th English method with a view to im . proving th tlm In this event . That !' he succeeded is proved by the fact that today he Is still a champion and has ' continued to slip second from the five mil figure up to the present day. To day his five mil tlm I the American record, 25 minute v 1-6 seconds. In ad- oiuon. ne naa made tna beat time in the 10 mile championship run, held at Cel tlo Park in 1909, of 62 minute 14 4-5 econaa. , ,' - f Success Dn to Specializing. Th United States , Olymplo f teams hav proved victorious on many foreign strands. ' Their sucoess, due in a great measure to specialising, of which th Bonhag example ju la a criterion, has spread -our fame as the premier of all athletic nation. ' On th contrary, Eng. jano, wnicn na aiway excelled in the distance events, seema-sto hav neg lected to specialise wlthlrKthe past few yearn, witn tne result that ah ha far len into an athletic letharrv. Th essential element in the making termed speciallcatlon. This term means th installation into - the mind of the "athletic aspirant th fact that , to uo ctied he must learn to cover a certain distance with the least, wast of energy or effort. U ; tyy .r;v ;,:.;:': a . Three -methods, hav come In vogue iai.e years, wnicn nave a tendency to produce good athletes r. and - champions through specialisation i or Improved j methods. : First th professional coach, who has become th rule, where, year sgo, he waa the exception, has proved worm Dy turning out champions very year, who not only (break all the Misting times but prove ihemselve to b better and mora ' capable of coping . "", f amienc nvaia than their pre- .- rauit an 0rrta.Vv? i'-1' Secondly, by teaching novices proper style in track athletics, the faults which crop up in a prospective champion, and wnlch Kometlme prevent a. classy per, former from ascending to the champion ship,. ar corrected. Coaches like Mike f urphy, Lawson Robertson and Bernle Wefers change th style of practically : every man who comes under their tute lage Tho reason for this la that fault In form are very hard to correct, o the trainer ha to start to teach an athlet In an entirely new way, instead of the .tedious manner of correcting , alt his faults. This teaching of style is very esaontlal and is productive of. wonderful results, A. novice ha an apt tendency to Blip. Into a number of. faults which retard Ms development to such an ex tent that he never accomplishes any thing In athletics. To cite an example: Jimmy Sullivan or fame wa running for about exercise to Umber up the muscles of the f men; In other cases practically all the time will be devoted to actual playing. Some of the mogul will drive their! men hard, so aa to have them In tip J; top nneiy drawn shape when the sea son begins; others will take things easy, starting the season at a little below par, so that th maximum of effective ness can be attained In tntdseasoiv On factor that will erfter prominent ly Into the spring training of lSlt, Is me mineral oatn. xnia was one or the chief considerations In. the selecting of Hot Springs by so many of the clubs. ' Corslcana, , Marlln and ' San Antonio, ' Texas, are also bath cities, and the White, Sox, Athletics and Giants were attracted to these placea in the f Lone Star state largely because, of the mine- 1 ral waters on, tap there. .Whether the press agentlnga of th magic virtues of; mineral baths are 'Tunk' or not, remains to be seen. , 1 , Big Trades Ponding1.-' - k .: Just about this time th air la a-tlngle with rumors of. big baseball' trades Im pending, : and it is not unlikely that some deals will be put through before the beginning of the apring trips that will revolutionise., the outlook1, for - the championship races. Accordingly,' It is hard to. form a definite line on how th team will stack up against each other when the starting gun Is fired. -' But speoulatien Is already notloeable- among the fan as to who will win th pennants In the two leagues. This Is but human nature, however; moreover. It Indicates that the love of th fan for his favorite pastime Is not of the kind that Is satisfied with Just six months of baseball. .When he can't see It or play It, he must talk It So we already have heard prophesiesi nom inating this or that team a the one to be watched next year. 'At this time last year, the Athletic and Giant were generally picked to win the two pennants, , and the predictions came tru.---- : -U-!- C u-..:.n..Ji;. Athletic and Giant Again. The consensus seems to be In favor Of th same- team this year. In the ease of the Athletics It is for th same reason as before they figure Just about 100 per cent stronger than any other team In baseball. : In th case of th Giant It is different Th disintegra tion of the Cub 1 th chief thing that throw the Giant to the fore in the prognostication. The. American league raoe look like a walkover for the Ath letic, with Detroit finishing second, while the Giants undoubtedly will be closely pressed by the Pirates, Phillies an.d.poasitly St Louis, according to th way the "bugs" In this town have it figured, Nona of them item to be able to "see" Chicago at all. Wall, there Is a lot of time, yet for ihl Wall street business before the season opens. . . SPEEDIER Ithr year for th St Bartholomew club without the advice of a coach. During that time he was a long mark man and was never capable of better than '4 minute and 49 Seconds. In 1907 Jim Joined the Irish-American.1 In the three month h Was training under th watchful eye of Ernie HJertberg, he ao quired tha ability to run a mile In 4 minutea and 22 seconds, whloh, up to that time, was the fastest mil ever run by a native born American. To cut off 18 aecond from th -near champion's time la certainly the exemplification of good coaohlng, and 4s an example of the benefit of specialization. Training- Table Blp. Thirdly, .the installing of training tables by the big athletic clubs and col leges lias been productive of very good result. Th men hav regular hour for meal and are taught to give them selves proper time for the digesting of food before donning their track1 suits to. train. In the big club, on Ilk th Irish-American Athletlo club, th ath letes who are employed In the city can come direct from business to the track at Celtlo park, and after a workout supper Is enjoyed, and then after a cou ple hours of lounging, the men go to bed. This method has been productive of wonderful results and i an Incentive to-a prospective athlet. It Is through th neglect of the fore going principle' - that England has ceased to be regarded by- th athletlo ntithnrittaa as formidable in distance events. In England professional coaohe'' and training tables are tabooed Dy te amateur rules, but they will In time adopt th method which th Americans and Canadians hav proved to be so hopeful' In developing championship ma terial. .

Prior to 1906 th man who ran a ma tinder 4:30 was an exception. At pres ent we have about six man who can con sistently . run a roll In 4 minute 20 seconds.
