N athletes like Sheridan, Flanagan, McGrath and Sheppard New York has policemen of whom to be proud} —men of clean lives, of wholesome careers, They have no park house) keys, neither do they collect nightly | sidewalk tribute, That is the great good athletics does, No man c2n lead a drunken or vile life and be a successful ath lete. No man can load his body down with alcohol and drugs and then take the world’s championship by propelling that body higher and further and faster than any one else, The human mechanism, like any other machine, is dependent for its best working on the best of intelligent care, When Mike Murphy was ‘training the American Olympic team his instruction was fully as impor- fant mentally as physically, and the training was.of the mind and the morals as well as the body, Athletic victories really depend more upon skill than upon strength. Mf the Italian Dorando had better knowledge of how to tusband and handle his strength he would have won the Marathon race. Instead he coflapsed. Another runner whom Jack Hayes passed near the finish was far ahead and feeling so good about it that he stopped to take a drink of champagne, and then with the champagne in his stomach started off ‘again and had a cramp. This was not lack of strength, or lack of abil- , but lack of using MD ! Ny l his brain and taking A ‘care of himself, ; i What a shame iM it is that these clean police athletes have to associate with men in uniform who take engaged girls to park houses or with such loathsomeness as the plain clothes policemen who help the bondsmen col- lect station - house graft from women who walk the streets at night! Contrast Magis trate Finn’s question to the plain clothes policemen — “Do you think you can drive these women \ around like dogs or slaves?”—with the clean records both at police head- quarters and on the athletic field of the New York policemen who con- | tributed so materially to America’s great Olympic victory. | Such policemen as those on the Olympic team make most glaring contrast with those wearers of the uniform who lead young girls astray, who abandon their legitimate wives and children, who demoralize the| neighborhoods they are sent to patrol, and whose minds, like their bod- ies, are gross and vile. The New York police force has so much good material, so many brave men, so many athletic men, that there is all the more reason for having a good house cleaning, and for Commissioner Pingham to purify the force by a process of drastic purging which would include many captains and some inspectors, besides a few hundred men of lower rank. The difficulty with the police situation is that the bad policemen stand together and that the good are given to the policemen who) the difficult beats, long hours and the hard work, If they are too conscientious they are likely to have trouble and to face charges on mat- ters of petty discipline until they are crowded from the force.
