LONG TRIP APT TO DECIDE CHAMPS’ PENNANT CHANCE {Club Must Sn‘np Ont of Slump Qulckly if It Is to Be- come Factor in Fight for Flag—Fans Want - Games Here Started Earlier. BY JOHN B. KELLER. WEEK from today the Natio: A the holdover league Champions are % when they face the Tygers. The six games scheduled before probably will be quite trying for Bucky Harris and company. Red Sox, who are down for games here today and tomorrow, have a in them for a club that has been w Yanks, despite the two-time licking they suffered vesterda: and troublesome. Those four games in three days nals will be in Detroit to start their first Western invasion of the vear, and unless they quickly snap out of the slump in.which they have béen for more than two weeks pt to be under the .500 mark in wins the ‘wmg through the West begins Even thf obbling like the Nationals. . And the are powerful i New York are going to be tough omes for the Nationals. They may get the better of the Yanks, but not without a deal of extra effort. There are some who claim the Yankees have been traveling far above their natural pace. Maybe so. but they can drop off a trifle and still go on to the flag. They can play .500 | ball for the remainder of the season and still be ahead of the Nationals at the finish, unless the latter hit a mtride around .600 for the remainder of the campaign. ‘Western Swing Will Tell. ‘This Western swing next month will just about tell where the strength Yles. The Yanks have been powerful at home. They save the Western con- tingent an awtul lacing. The Nation- ale were fortunate to get an even break. ‘If the Yanks make anv decent | Drogress on foreign flelds within the | next three weocks they’ll be difficult | to beat out. not pick up seme ground in the same time they may, just as well begin Preparations for next vear. The Nationals have been plaving halaw their true form. it seems. Thers | i no reason to figure how & club that was so good last vear should be so poor this. season. ‘The average age of the Nationals is high, in so far as base ball goes. but the veterans ought not to be as weak as they appear to he. The main trouble with the club =sems to be its lack of fight. Jt has not been' carrving the battls to the nther. fellow, as it did in 1924 and last year. Whether the club is punch-weary or aurfeited with succeas is mot known. There have been instances of clubs winning a flag or two. then becoming content with the worid. If there has haen such a let-down in the Nationals the men must bs aroused within a whort time. or evervthing will be over for them this season. Tt is difficult to helieve, however. that prosperity has mnftenad the outfit. It belongs at or near the top and should soon improve its present lowiv position. Trouble Ahead for Griffs. The impending swing through the |} West promises plenty of trouble for the Nationale. Right at the jump-off they tackle the Tvgers. who proved tough customers hers not so long ago. Then the Indians will bs encountered. and there are manv who now think the Indians will be in the thick of the vennant fight all season. With their array of powerful left-hand -swat- smiths the Indians will be dangerous on -their hame lot that has such a short right fleld. After meeting these two crews the Nationals will encounter 414 not seem so fo: The White Sox se: nf gam: in Cleveland. then the Browns will be faced in ft. Louis. The Chisox. however, are sticking around the first division. even though they do not seem to have the clase of pennant contenders. Following the contests in St. Louis the Nationals will jump home for a day to play a double-header with the Yankees, then move to Philadelphia for a couple of engagements with the Athletics. After June 24 the Nationals will bs more or less at home for quite a time, Fans Want Early Games. When the next long home stand ecomes around there may be x change In the starting time of games here. Certainly the resumption of the 3:30 starting time has not pleased the aver- nge cash customer. The shift from 3 o'clock to 8:30 whs made by the club nficials probably because of the scant crowds attending the early season fdable while here. | follows the set games., The powers that bs evidently ronddearea 3.0 c!ack too early for most of the folke.

The attendance of women at the games has fallen off noticeably. Most of the fair fans have household affairs to bother about and they can- not attend to them if they visit the ball park for a late atarting game. Despite all arguments to the con- trary, Washington always has been and still is a 6 o'clock dining town and the housewives do not care to change the hour for the benefit of husbands who go to ball games. There was no complaint from the women when the games started at 3, but they have been doing a deal of talking since the starting time was made 3:30. The oficials of the ball club would do well to listen to the talk among the average fans. e BIG LEAGUE LEADERS. By the Associated Press. . AMERICAN LEAGUE. Batting—Dugan, Ylnh, ‘lll BMM Yankees, 5!

May 29— Pate de Paolo, American automobile racing champion in 1925, hoped to qualify today for the annual 500-mile race to be held next Monday at the Indianapolis - Motor Speedway. Nine- teen drivers, including an English- Juan and a Frenchman, in cars manu- factured in their own countries, al- ready have passed the test. De Paolo has been kept off the track because work on his new car of 9133 cubic inches piston displacement bhas progressed slowly. The driving champion sald the car would be one of the fastest on the course and pre- dicted he would easily pass the 10- mile test of averaging 85 miles an hour or better. Bob McDonough., who will pilot one of Tommy Milton's entries, also is ex- pected to quality today along with five or six others.

MANY NEW COACHES ~4FOR COAST ELEVENS /. .BY LAWRENCE PERRY. - With returns of Spring practice among the Pacific Coast Conference colleges all in, the stage is met for Autumn drama that may develop someé unexpected situations .and climaxes. It is interesting to note that a majority. of the conference members will take the field under the direction of new coaches. ‘Washington State has made & nrou | bid for succeas by engaging Babe Hollinberry. Hollinberry has been the jcoach of the powerful OIymplu Athletic eleven of San Francisco, and his ability, plus excellent material, resulted in a team last Fall that wal- both Californis. and Stanford. He will be assisted by the man who served ac his right bower with the Olympic club, Buck Bailey, who came originally. from Texas A. and M At California, the late Andy Smith has been succeeded by Nibs (Clarence M.) Price, who played at :Berkeley before Smith took hold. Atter his graduation he went as coach to San Diego High, and prepared such famous stars as Brick llllller sprott rs, Beam and other luml for their intercollegiate careers. Oregon -has. Capt. John . W. Mc- Ewan, former all-America lineman at: ‘West Point and later coach of suc- cesstul Army elevens. His assistant is Harry Ellinger, who played a fine game at guard for the cadets. ,Montana also_hasg an Army man as coach, Maj. Frank W.

STAR, WASHINGTON. 'D. €, SATURDAY. The Evening Star BOYS CLUB Conducted by ROBERT .C. McCLELLAN ESTERDAY an attempt was I made to make you realize that it is not hard to remain afloat. . You were told to stand waist deep in a pool with your back to the wall, bend forward at the waist, put- ting your face into the water, with your arms stretched out in the water ahead of you, take a dee breath and shove off from the wall with one foot, straightening out. You found that, under impetus, you would slide along in the water wuh< out sinking. Your chief concern now is to be lhh to propel yourself in the water. Stretched out fn the manner suggest- ed above, you are in position for the crawl stroke. We speak ofl the crawl stroke because it is the most natural, and best, although there are such as the breast stroke, and the side stroke used by distance swim- mers and others. There are three elements to be dis- cussed, the arm movement, breathing and the leg movement. The arm movement and the breath- ing are closely allied, while the legs operate more or less independently. In the crawl stroke there is no time- ing of the movements. They co-or- dinate naturally. The leg movement is up and down. The legs are relaxed and kicked up and down in order, that Is, both legs are going at the same time and at all times, while one foot is near or above the surface the other is below and \Irn verss. They should be moved with more frcedom of movement below the knees than above. After you learn to swim you can learn! more tricks with the legs to attain greater speed. That's all the leg movement consists of. Kdek- ;'hlu.lhl.‘lwln‘whth ‘With the face immersed the arms are brought forward in order, litted | when out of the water, stretched out in front of the head, as though climbing, reimmersed and used as a sort of & paddle. Do all your arm moving near the surface. Don't allow your hands to sink too desp as they pass the body in their propelling movement. After the arm has done its work and the body slides forward in the water take it out and repeat the movement nd while one arm is in the way for another stroke, your other arm and hand should be pro- pelling. As the arm motion continues the body rolls trom side to side, with the face coming out of the water at reg- ular intervals, but only on one side, whichever side seems most natural to the swimmer. That is the breathing is don As the face emerges from the water the swim- mer inhales, alwa through the mouth, while the arm on that side is out of the water and he exhales in the water on the next arm stroke. Some fast and more experienced swim- mers do breathe only on every other stroke, The learner should remember that that as long as he feels secure and moves fast enough he will stay. up. The “knack” of swimming is psycho- logical. There is nothing to swim- ming other than what you've been told here. It is necessary, however, that you “indertake it with a desire to succeed. The movement in the water must be fast and determined. It can't be half-hearted. Are you putting these articles in your scrap book? Thers will be more swimming to- morrow. HOUSER SHATTERS A PAIR OF COLLEGIATE RECORDS By the Associated Press. C AMBRIDGE, Mass., May 29.—The University of Southern Califor- nia's track team appeared headed today for its second successive triumph over Eastern athletes. In the fiftieth anniversary meet of the I. C. A. A. A. A. at Harvard Stadium, the Trojans faced keen opposition' particularly from Leland Stanford, California, Yale and Harvard, but only a smashlnf critics agreed, could keep them from the top, upset in form, as they qualified more than Lany other institution in yesterday’s trials. Their captain, Bud Houser, shat- tered both the shot-put and discus- throwing marks in the trials yester-|o day and seemed to have a double triumph clinched. Houser eclipsed his own former mark in the discus, set last year by |12 hurling the platter 151 feet 33 inches, after tossing the shot a distance of 49 feet 113 inches to displace the standard set last Spring by Ralph Hills of Princeton, at 49 feet 9% inches. Pole Vault Mark May Go. TLee Barnes, another Trojan and Olympic pole vault champion, is ex- pected to shatter the record in his specialty, set at 13 feet 1 inch in 1912 by Bob Gardner of Yale, now captalning the American Walker cup golf team abroad. Sabin Carr of Yale is Barnes’ chief rival. Two other llkely winners among the Trojans are Leighton Dye and Kenneth Grumbles, champions, re- spectively, in the two hurdles events. Harval Yale, Stanford and Call fornia, all possessing well balanced teams, figure to roll up thmtenm‘ point. totals. Of the leaders, the Trojans won 13 qualifying places, Yale 11, Stanford and California 10 each.

STANDISH JUST DOES BEAT MISS WETHERED BY 0. B. KEELER. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. MUIRFIELD, Scotland, May 2 Among the Americans who shared the ‘lory of the last day at Muirfleld with Jease Sweetser in the finals of the British championship please don't forget James D. Standish, jr.. of Detroit. ' Jimmy played a challenge round Friday at No. 1 course, Gufane against Joyce Wethered, the woman champion of Great Britain, and beat her 3 and 2. Hé shot a 71 and Miss Wethered a 73. “Y'd heard a great deal about her,” sald Jimmy after the match, “but I never imagined any woman could shoot golf he does. If she'd been putting well, she surely would have been under 70 for the round.” Standish announced firmly he was not considering a. return match, de- claring he was satisfied to rest on his lgurels. Two infant members of the Amer- ican Walker Cup team—Watts Gunn of Atlants and Roland Mackenzie of ‘Washington—were packed off to St. Andrews Friday evening with Capt. Bob Gardner to rehearse for the big international match next week. The kids were heartbroken at being de- prived of the chance to follow their teammate, Sweetser, in the big cham- plonship match today. The other Walker Cup players were in the big gallery which followed Sweetser and his British rival, S. F. Simpson. The gallery was sportsman- ‘like in the extreme. It gave the American a really magnificent tribute. (Copyright. 1926.) | WASHINGTON’S CREW IS ONE OF GIANTS By the Associated Fress.

DYKES SETS RECORD FOR FREAK BATTING By the Associated Press. Records for freak batting stunts ‘were put in the discard last season by Jimmy Dykes of the Philadelphia Ath letics in his phenomenal hitting against the Yankees on October 2. Jimmy went to bat five times and each time up he safely hit the first ball pitched. Four of the hits were off Garland Braxton and one was off Herb Pennock, and they included a home run and a three-bagger. Five out of five isn't so rare, but when one batter gets five clean hits out of five pitched balls he has done something which the old-timers con cede is mighty unusual. ‘The same player had another per- fect day at the plate on July 12, when he collected four hits out of that many times at bat. Two months later he made good on five out of six trips to the plate in the second game of a double-féader. | Ira Flagstead, Red Sox outflelder, also_had an odd record. On May 8, at Detroit, Flagstead went to the plate six times, made one hit, walked five times and scored five times. MANGAN IS IN FINAL OF RICHMOND EVENT RICHMOND.
