N That game which was lost ago most of the fans had forgotten EW YORK, July 20.—Gangway for Coveleskie, the pitching Pole of welve games won and one lost for the season. was back on the 2d of May, so long all about it. It has been Coveleskie, as much as any pitcher on the Washington team, who has been keeping the champs in the race. and now that Walter is ill the famous spitballer, who have Jone it alone, helped to win the only Washington in and h pennant tha ping to keep Cleveland out.

When he got warm again the season was well ad- vanced and the Cleveland club had not mucl use of him Speaker wanted to get pitchers who had natural fur covering on their arms and would remain warm in spite of the Cleveland cold. 1t also is probable that there was a suspicion in Cleveland that the spit ball had wrecked the Coveleskie arm as it has that of every other pitcher who has essayed to throw it day after day. It {8 no kind of a bail for a sane guy to pitch. Griffith took Coveleskie and they laughed at him. When a man kidded “Griff” at Tampa about loading him- self with an old man's home, and especially kidded him about taking on Coveleskle, the Old Fox grinned and replied: “Well, once T pitched myself and I know that now and then these old birds warm up when they live in the sun all of the time, and suprprise you.

Successive birdies on the thir. teenth and fourteenth and aother at the seventeenth left him a 4 for a 67, but he took three putts on the slippery eighteenth green. He was playing with R. M.

Inside Golf By Chester Hortos ‘Wrapping the fingers around the shaft, with thumbs and all so wrapped as one would hold a base ball bat, is gy Wrong in golf not ball cannot be hit that way—it can be—but because such a hit is ac- complished in spite of the method, and more, because a leads at once to great of the muscles in the forearms. This tightening must be avoided because forearm rigidity in the address leads to arm rigid- ity as the back swing progresses. Arm rigidity means shoulder rigidity. This can hardly be chased out after the swing has started. The way to keep it out is to see that it is out at the beginning. Stand up to the ball easy and graceful at the beginning of the back swing. helther man cared much who won, de cided to have some fun at the ex- pense of the contestants. in the round, and at the end of the sixth hole Shannon had picked up five of the handicap. Then came the deba- cle. At the seventh hole they found someone had placed the cup on top of a ridge immediately in front of a bunker, an almost impossible place. Here West, by a superhuman putt, picked up five shots on Shannon, who took six putts. Things went along swimmingly to the tenth hole, where the same per- R. | formance was repeated with the cup. | However, here Shannon turned the tables and got back the lost strokes. They went along to the fourteenth, with Shannon picking up a shot or two, and then found another trick cup. Both got down in seven putts on that green. Nothing more happened until the eighteenth, where Shannon led West by two shots, and put his sec- ond shot on the green, to find the cup in the very worst situation of all, on the side of a steep embankment, where it was impossible to hold a ball. West reached the green in three shots, with Shannon away. Shannon putted up at the hole time after time, his ball running past the cup, running short, running over until it seemed it never would drop. West in the meantime, watched the efforts of hi rival with growing amusement, sure he could get down in many fewer | putts than his rival. Shannon finally dropped his seventeenth putt, giving | him 19 for the hole. Then came West's turn, and he found it wasn't o easy. | He went through the same stunts that Shannon had gone through a few min- utes before, and finally got down in 15 putts, giving him a score of 18 for the hole, Shannon winning the match by 1 stroke SWALES AND SMITH LEAD PLAYGROUND TRACK TEAM Robert Swales has been elected cap- tain and Aloysius Smith manager of the track team which will represent Lovejoy Playground in competition this Summer.

(Copyright, 1925.) No. 14—What to Do for Cramps. The most common cramp is in the calt of the leg. When attacked by this cramp, swim on the back, cros: the cramped leg over the well one a rub virorously along the knotted muscle with the opposite hand while swimming or keeping afloat with the remaining hand and leg. Practice this until you can do it easily. Seize the toes and work the foot briskly back and forth to stretch the knotted muscle. ’ For cramp in the foot, work the'foot vigorously back and forth until the knot disappears. For cramp in the arm, rub the muscles and stretch vigorously with the well arm while swimming ashore on the back. None of these cramps should cause serious difficulty, unless you are far from shore and alone. A cramp in the up- per leg or in the body is more serious and requires great fortitude to keep afloat until help comes, The muscles will be very sore for some time after a cramp and the patient should not go back in the water that day lest the cramp return in_more severe form.
