An All Star had a chance to try out in the majors, The boys all swarmed ‘ound their second sacker, There was much hand shaking and back slapping. “Well, I guess Gleason wants me to play second for him,” Happenny, told them. “I'll take Eddie Collins’ place.” An injury, you remember, forced Collins out of the game, Qf course the team thought Hap- penny was kidding.

Soon afterwards he was in France, where he finished well in the open cham- pionships of that country, won by an- other Briton, James Ockenden.

Stand in the pool and grasp the railing or some other support which is about the level of the water sur- face. Extend one foot backward, keep- ing the leg straight, ‘until it is as close to the surface as possible. Then take a deep breath and quickly ‘submerge the face, at the same time bringing both feet to the surface and extending the body. Do not let go your grasp of Vhe railing. As soon as you feel your air sup- ply becoming exhausted, regain standing position, This is done by bringing the knees up under the body until they almost touch the stomach and then lowering the feet to the bottom of the pool. Unless you do it correctly, you are apt to duck yourself, so it is best to take it slowly and intelligently. When yéu can float yourself and regain standing position easily, try the same thing with only the index fingers touching the support, and then with the fingers touching the side of the tank just above the sup- port, You regain standing position from the latter exercise by lowering the hands to the support just before it’s time to “come up” and then fol- lowing the correct method. I advise that you try this exercise in water about waist deep. Be content to follow these exer- cises until you have thoroughly mas- tered them; they are the foundation of swimming. £ By NEA Service. New York, Aug, 7.—Hugh Dwyer, lightweight champion of Australia and New Zealand, has arrived here from his native habitat with the an- nounged intention of meeting some of our good lightweights and then going after Benny Leonard’s crown, “Of course,” says Dwyer, “I'd have no objection to meeting Leonard first if it can be arranged, but barring hat I'll go/after Lew Tendler and some of the others first.” Dwyer brings with him a_first- class ring reputation. In his six years of fighting he has been in-60 fights and won more that half of them by the knockout route. Can He Do It? He is 25 years old, stands five feet six inches and weighs about 142 pounds, “But I have no trouble in weigh- ing in at 133,” he declares, in his quiet, soft-spoken manner, Experts are wondering, though, if | AUSTRALIAN CHAMP WOULD MEET LEW AN BENNY holes in 97, His handicap is: 16; turned in his net total as 80 instead of 81.

Pitching Improvement Lively Ball Is BY BILLY EVANS. Pitching is the erying need of | every major league club. That statement goes just about as strongly for the minors.’ There is a dearth of pitching ma- terial. It is apparent even in the amateur circles and colleges, Ten years ago every major league club boasted of at least four star pitchers. Most of the teams had four more in reserve who measured al- most up to the class of the regulars. Baseball has undergone many changes of late, but in no department of the game has the contrast been so striking as in the pitching: What's the big idea? Reeently I was discussing this phase of the game with a former col- lege star, now a director of athletics at a prominent preparatory school. Here is the solution that he offered and it seems mighty logical, “The pitcher was once the hero of the college and high school teams, but those days are no more, He's No Longer Hero, “The college twirler who let down the opposition with a few hits and scored a shutobt was the most talked bout man on the campus.

The court’s decision, while strongly in- timating that the corrupt practices act did not apply in the case of meas- ures submitted to the voters, decided the case on the ground that an equit- able action did not lie, but that regular clection contest was the me- + ae ‘by which remedy should have jought. The case was-instituted by the Ran- som County Farmers Press an@ Charles G. Bangert in the Ransom county district court, the case being appealed by the plaintiff from the order of Judge Frank P.

A play came wp in a minor league game last summer that brought up the point as to wheth- er the intent of a coacher must be given consideration.
