Mac McClung, who trained the team, first noticed this and induced ‘aylor to try himself out jumping over the bar. He cleared clone to five feet on his first attempt, and then, convinced that he could jump, in a few. weeks he was clearing the bar at five feet. He firat competed last year in Dayton and won both jumps easily. He was next heard of as the individual point Prise winner at the Central Associa- | t! tion meet in Chicago.
