With this double overarm is introduced new problems in breath control and body balance. In the side stroke the body re- mains in one position throughout the stroke. The single overarm, bringing the top arm out of the water in recovery, makes no change in the position of the body. In the trudgeon, however, to get the bot- tom arm out of the water in recov- ery it is necessary to introduce a body roll. A This body roll brings the body on the stomach, face down in the water. With the face in the water you are confronted with the problem of ex- haling in the water. Inhale as usual, through the mouth, taking a quick bite as the top arm is carried out of the water in recovery.

On land you do not hold your breath in or out even for the small- est fraction of a second. Inhaling starts instantly as exhaling ceases, and exhaling starts instantly as in- haling ceases.

Both the Potomac and Shenandoah | ers, which have been badly stirred up, are getting into condition suit- ! able for the success of the angler. Report that a forty-pound devilfish of the diamond shaped, bat-like specles was caught one doy this week off Log Inn, on the Chesapeake bay, by a_Baltimore man, after a struggle of more than a half hour, suggests to the old-timers that it is ione other than our old pestiferous habitat of the Chesapeake bay, the skate or stingaree. It is not a bit surprising that it was so large and that it required some time for land- ing. For the past month or two the skates have been so numerous at hesapeake Beach as to render it al- 1 most impossible to fish with success. Both day and night fishing off the pler has been almost nullified on ac- count of the presence of the skates. It is safe to say that the term devil- fish is a very polite name to glve them. What many of the anglers here called them after losing their fine lines, hooks and all, is unprint- able. When it comés to deviling the fishermen, the skate succeeds about 100 per cent. Notwithstanding the weather con- ditions were ideal’ during the past week for the sport at Chesapeake Beach, no good catches were reported, but_the usual contingent, however, was on hand. Much interest is being taken in the annual fishing contests at the Beach during September. They will. as usual, mark the close of the regular season, but ther will be some mighty good fishing later in the fall. Here are nome fixhing tips given by the Sportsman’s Digest: A pair of pincers of small size should be included in every bass, muskie, pike and gray trout fisl erman’s outfit for the purpose of removing the hooks of artificial balts. They are the best dis- * gorger that can be found. A good pair can be obtained at any five- and-ten store. They are also handy for bending sinkers on, straight- ening hooks and holding hooks while they are filed. A small file is also a good addition and takes- up but a very little space. A noise on thie bottom of a boat will do more than anything else to scarce away a_school of bass, perch or trout. Talking in the boat is not of any consider- ation, but a sharp blow on the bot- tom or a careless kick of the sides of boat will serve to disturb fish that are feeding about the vicinity of the boat. No sinkers are needed for wood- en surface plugs and minnows. They are more attractive worked with a darting, diving motion on the surface. Live minnows can be placed in a_two-gallon bucket with a strip of clean muslin’ tied over top of container and a faucet turned on to allow a drop of water at a time falling into pail and kept for an_indefinite length of time. Cold spring water poured on min- nows suddenly chills and kills those taken from a creek or brook that has flowed through sunny meadows and eddied in wide pools.

MADE CLEAR The reason for this is that the body will not roll itself. You have to do something to make it roll Therefore. you use the bottom arm as a lever. To learn this stroke, take the starting position as in the side stroke, right arm extended forward under the head, left arm restiug in the water near the hip. Start the bottom arm on its downward sweep. As it goes down, keep the arm full length, the body starts to roll to the stomach position. the Relax While You Coast. A‘ the bottom forward extended position the top arm and the scissors kick have produced the greatest headway of the entire stroke. The body has again rolled back to the side posi- tion and you are making your finish- ing exhale snort. For a couple of seconds you coast on your momen- tum, legs and arms in position, but relaxed. Here is where you get the rest which is very necessary to cach and every stroke. During the coast you inhale through the niouth. Unlike the crawl stroke, there is no connection between one complete revolution of the trudgeon stroke and the next. The coast breaks the continuity, giving a jerky effect to the progress. It is this feature of the trudgeon that makes it good fof long-distance swimming. You get more relaxation than in any other stroke. Leg action in the trudgeon is the same as in the side and single over- arm stroke. 'Some swimmers, how- ever, introduce a flutter to the top leg. They feel that they must do something with their feet while they are floating face down and the bot- tom arm is making its pull. They make a couple of thrashes with the top foot, up and down, as in the crawl stroke. There is not much propulsion in the flutters, however, and I consider any motion that does not add to the progress a waste mo- tion that can be dispensed with. SIKI BOLDER AFTER QUENCHING THIRST CHERBOURG.

They may rest as sured that 1 will prove myself worthy to represent the French colors b fore our sympathetic American al- lies, to wkom I am proud to have been a comrade in arms in saving the liberty of the world.” The address rendering the battler somewhat dry, the entire party ad- journed to the hotel bar upon his in- vitation.

ITCHERS in major league base ball are complaining against the newly adopted custom of taking the hurler from the box the m ute he walks a couple of men or allows a pair of hits in a row. Base ball has developed into a queer game since it became the cu tom not to use pitchers day after day through nine innings—which really is base ball—but to pitch them to the score. “Thus the manager,” says the disgruntled young pitcher, “doth make cowards of us all.” Take the first fifteen days of August, for example. There were forty- one instances where two pitchers were used in the sa game by man agers in the National League and thirty-nine instances in the American League. On five occasions the National League managers broke out with three pitchers; on four they used four and twice they used six. In th {American League there were sixteen occasions when three pitchers were sent in; six when four pitchers were used and three when five were used REINSMAN UNAW.
