| NEW YORK, June 7.?A broad development
of the present Olympic training
system now In vogue In Sweden is
planned lor the coming summer. During
the past few years Coach Ernie
HJertberg has carried most of the
fork upon his own shoulders but as
he popularity of track and field athetica
Increased it was seen that the
ask was rapidly outstripping the calaclty
of the original coaching staff.
Until recently HJertberg has had but
wo assistants and it was impossible
or them to cover Sweden thoroughly
ad give the Swedes the beueiit of
teady coaching all summer. Hjerterg
was compelled to travel from
lace to place with the result that many
Itles had to content themselves with
ne br two weeks' instruction during
ie whole season, and several promis
Ing towns, lor lack or ume, were uc;lected
altogether. In an effort to renove
this handicap the Swedish A. A.
J. made plans to install ten coaches,
rith Hjertberg as instructor and superThese
coaches, who were selected
iy the S. A. A. U., are all men who have
laid experience in athletics. However,
jimctlcal experience In athletics was
laterally not deemed sufficient in or.er
to qualify as a coach and it was
berefore decided that they should reelve
a special course of instruction.
Iris course covers all branches neces
ary for the making of a successful

ieoretlcal coaching, training, first aid.

PJWhat is reported to be the first fatality
to occur in the Australian prize
ring under modern administration,
took place during a recent bout at 6yd-1
hey,. In the seventh round of a contest
between bantamweights one of
the participants sank to the floor of
the ring after receiving a short arm
jab to the Jaw. When he did not recover
from the blow within a reasonable
period the boxer was hurried to j
the hospital where he died. Close fol-1
lowers of boxing at the ringside were :
puzzled at the result of the blow which j
apparently carried little force. When 1
Ian autopsy was perrormeu n was uiscovered
that the dead boxer had abnormally
thin skull being of almost eggshell
thinness In certain places.
One of the best performances shown
at the Far Eastern Games held recently
at Tokio, Japan, was a hundred
yards trial heat in ten seconds flat by
G; Saavedra, a Filipino sprinter. Ac_____

In my opinion, formed after train-!
ing for about 200 ring battles, the wind
or lung power is the most essential I "
thing for going through a ring engage- '
ment. j
You may have all the footwork and
Inside knowledge of boxing, but if you '
are winded in anv nart of the bout, it I .
is ycur finish. | "
Then oven a great defense will not |
save you from hitting the canvas. Is'o
amount of strength can prevent a sure
knockout under these conditions. You ;
cannot fight or stand off a fighter when ! ?
you cannot breathe.
So if you have any intention of box-1tl
ing for more tnan a round or two, or C
of getting into fine physical shape, o
make certain of your wind. a
There are many ways of developing it
the wind and testing its endurance _
without having to experiment in the ring.
I get up early in the morning, got [
into some old clothes and a heavy
sweater and start running along.
I start off at a moterate pace and
gradually increase it according to the
way I feel. Then I run fast and slowly
alternately for periods of 10 or 15
minutes.
The purpose of this is to regulate my
wind to stand the same pace as in the
ring, sometimes a noxcr must go at, |

Other methods for development of
ing power, which, are Just as popular
t running, are rope skipping and
indball.
Running, rope skipping and hand
ill go well together.

I usually Indulge In a road run In the

Skipping the rope at a great pace is

TWO BILLIONS
IN CHARITY FUNDS
Great Force For Good if It
Were Efficiently Administered.
-TTT .
PITTSBURGH, June 7.?Chaotic
conditions in the administration ot
private charities due to lack ot regulation
on the part of state governments
were revealed In a discussion here
today at the National Conference ot
Charities and Correction. The evils
that have arisen are due chiefly td
\ai*\r rif owaiflmaH/? and ad
ItfVIV VI u;evuuu>v>u .
vise, according to the leader of the
discussion, Robert W. Kelso, secretary
of the State Board of Charity of Massachusetts.
"There are In active operation
throughout the several United States
at least 15,000 incorporated charities,"
Baid Mr. Kelso. "They have well up
toward $2,000,000,000 in capital funds.
That sum, if well administer-' standards
of skit' '
,,.vitrei toward good stanaaiuo ;
service, it will bo largely wasted and a
the goco purposes of the donors de- I
feated. If dishonestly handled, it is j
worse than nothing; it becomes a men- .
ice to the public welfare.
"This field of charitable endeavor j
is teeming with citizens who seek earnestly
for social advancement. An
Increasing number of them are skilled
and able to analyze their problem.
Some of them have little more than
good intention. Their experience is
nothing; their skill and capabilities
are nil; their effectiveness zero. And
there are others who are predatory.
They live upon the charitable agency,
appropriating its benefits to themselves,
pretending falsely that their
purpose to charity.
"To whom does these vast capital
funds belong? Do they constitute n
trust for the indefinite public? Is |
it the function of the government to |

a: their husbandry? If it is, has our
popular form of government the
strength to accomplish such oveisight
without depressing the standards
of excellence in the enterprise??of
putting politics' into charitable retlief?
"If the government should supervise,
what is the best method of doing it?
Shall it be by permissive inspection
as in Massachusetts, or by license, as
with children's agencies in Ohio? Sha'l
an annual accounting be required as
in Massachusetts without strict enforceii-etit,
or should it be a thoroughgoing
system of accountability and
government regulation with penalties
that mean something?"
