September. For this event America will send her best talent to try to wrest from the “Australian marvel _ swimming | honofs she has held for four years in all distances from 50 yards io a mile. Miss Durack is perhaps the most versatile woman. champion of all time. Her records from the shortest sprints to distances well over a mile have never been s riously challanged and swimming is a great deal lik running, different styles being need- ed for different distances Miss Olga Dorfner of Philacel- phia perhaps has the best chance to best the Australian water witch in the shortest distances. She has negotiated the 50-yard sprint in 29 seconds, tying Miss Durack’s world record for the distance. She also holds the American record for 75 and 100- yard sorints, the latter in 1:08 3-5, a trifle more than two seo onds over Miss Durack’s record. Miss Dorothy Burns of Los Ange- les, an excellent middle .distance swimmer, may be Miss Durack’s chief rival in the 200, 220 and 300-yard swims and Miss, Claire Galligan of New Rochelle, N. Y., will challenge} Miss Durack’s speed over the 440 and 880-yard and mile distances Miss Galligan has never came close to equalling :Miss Durack’s records oveg these distances, but she is young and ts improving every day. Her slow trudgeon crawl makes her the most formidable con- tender over the longest distances. Miss Frances Cowles of San Fran- ¢tsco will also be entered in several of the events. This mermaid has been creating a sensation in recent {American mark. stroke} the quarter mile in 6:17; Miss Galli- ‘ 7 SY. w CLAIRE, GALLIGS outa DAREITER mS oe meets on the coast. especially over the short routes. But a glance over Miss Durack’s records show that the American mer- maids have a big job on their hands. Her record for 50 yards has been tied by ‘Miss Dorfner at 29 seconds; she has a record of 49 4-5 seconds for 75 yards a second faster than the best American record. At 100 yards her record of 1.06 is 2 3:5 seconds fas- ter than Miss Dorfner's fastest -cen- tury. -Her record of 2.57 for the 220 is 87 seconds faster than the . best She has covered gan’s best time for the half mile and mile is 12:52 and 26:08.

This is the problem confronting the baseball world as the clubs are rounding the turn for the final drive on the stretch, with the Giants some ‘eight games out in front. Let us look into the chances of Matty’s outfit to play for the big thoney this October. Hight games at this point is a con- siderable margin, especially when thé clubs referred to are playing about {the same kind of baseball. It means that the club eight games | behind, must not only win every time the other club wins, but that it must play enough better ball to win eight games. while the other club is losing eight - The Giants have been playing .667 j ball this seas So far there has been nothing to indicate they will drop. If the Giants continue playing .667 ball the Reds face the hopeless tack of playing .850 ball to catch | them. tut there are two or three condi- tions which favor the Reds ‘in the final drive. They have about 60 games to play, while the Giants must play 75 including a number of double headers. The Reds have some 35 games on the home grounds while the Ciants only have 25, not count- ing double bills. On their last trip the Reds ed .700 baseball, while the Giaitt: were playing .667 baseball at the: Polo grounds. ly the Reds can play better base- ball at home than on the road and the Giants hit a slump on the road {the cight game lead may be lessened considerably, That of course is a question only the games: can decide. ‘Then in the nratter of double headers, Can the Giant «pitchers stand a strain of a long string of dondle bills? The New York pitching staff is the notoriously weak spot on the club. Schupp carcely more than a one- |day-a-week pitcher. ‘Whether he can keep up his high winning percentage PUBL STIG RANKS INVADED BY BATTLING LEVINSKY By PAUL PURMAN. A glance over the list of our boxing champions reveals the rather unnsual fact that of seven divisions in Amer- ica four of the champions are He- brews. A list of their real names probably would not be recognized even by the most ardent boxing. fan, Benjamin Leiner, Gershon Mendiloff, Al Rudolph and Battling Levinsky. Leiner, of course, is Leonard, Mendiloff is better fights as Al McCoy.

The strain of these double head- ers may work against McGraw get- ting all he should from his pitchers. New York has the hardest sche- dule of the two for the next few s. McGraw must meet the Keds, ardimals and the Cubs, all dan- clubs in addition to The Reds have to meet the Giants and Phillies of the stronger clubs and Boston and Brooklyn. Everything considered the Giants have decidely the worst breaks com- ing, but an eight game lead is an eight game lead and it will take super-baseball to overcome it.

They could tell you the batting average of men in. majors and minors, they talk- ed ‘box--scores instead of neighbor- hood gossip at the breakfast table, and on holidays went to the ball park instead of the picnic. Then came tragedy—Mrs. Legien became ill. On recovery she found she would be practically an invalid for life. No more baseball games for the wite; husband went alone—and she had to wait until hours afterward to find out who won, for the Legiens live 10 miles from the park. Such a_ pathetic could not endure. At the beginning of the present season, Legien train- ed a flock of carrier pigeons. And how, every afternoon at the game, this is what you see: John H. Legien sitting in the grand stand with a box of nine homers. At the end of every inning—unless the game goes 10 innings, in which vase he holds pigeon number nine—he writes the score on a slip of paper, sticks it beneath the leg-ring of the state of affairs |.bird, and lets it fly. High above the mond the homer circles and then zng!—he is off on a dead line to the south. Four minutes later, Mrs. Legien, resting on her front porch, takes the fluttering bird from her shoulder and puts it in its box. But first she extracts that bit of paper from the leg-ring. - “Hurrah!” she whispers. one in the seventh!” “Two to NaturegPut to Work. In constructing a series of small bridges over the streams which inter- sect many of the roads of Sumatra, a rather unusual course was followed. The builders used timber stringers, and made abutments of piles of burlap bags filled with cement and sand. Shortly- after the bags had been put in place, heavy, soaking rains convert- ed the whole into a mass of solid con- crete. Needed Help. _John was watching the ants busily engaged on their hill.
