A health note prescribes a morning wake up, a two hour run, followed by a cold plunge. It advises careful diet, quitting smoking and drinking, regular light gymnastics, and early to bed for steadiness and clear thinking.
Seattle Star reports Thomas Kid Haeston the world pool champion trains intensely for a title match. He quits smoking and drinking, wakes at 1 am, jogs two hours daily, and limits late hours. He keeps a strict routine with light gym work and early bedtime.
Next Saturday night a selected five from local high school teams will meet the YWCA at the armory. The note mentions an ongoing chess championship with Dr Laaker and Marshall, a game in Philadelphia, and a boxing or athletic club event at the National Athletic club in Philadelphia.
In a candid account Hueston says taking care of himself doesn’t help his execution but sharpens his focus and steadies his hand.

The Seattle Star notes a surprising career shift for the famed American jockey Hildebrand who plans a plunge into a new role. He had considered leaving for Europe to avoid his notoriety and weight, signaling a bold pivot in his racing life.
His recent success has shifted his plan as he nears a $75,000 season win. Hildebrand, a shrewd horseman, bets only when a horse looks ready and profits from strong performances like Kercheval’s Burns Handicap victory which netted $8,760. He plans to campaign at the Meadows in Beattie this summer.
