Pene- lope Anderson, a slip of a girl from Richmond, Va., scarcely more than & feet tall, whose net game makes her appear twice that height, has battled her way into the front ranks J’f the national tennis stars. She is* rated one of the “favorites,” along with Flizabeth Ryan, Molla Mallory and Mary K. Browne, in the champlonship event now in progress at. Forest Hills. Miss Anderson deserves considerable credit for her achievement, as it is a well known fact that the Middle At- lantic section does not offer the sort of competition which molds cham- plonship materfal. The women for the most part do not take the game serfously enough. Tennis is.played in Maryland, Virginia and the Dis- trict of Columbla as a side issue rather than an objective. Anderson has outstripped woman with whom she has ed rackets in this section for several years and had to depend upon masculine opponents for the stiff competition necessary to the develop- ment of her game. Three years ago | she very wisely decided to try other fields of conquest and she entered tournaments in the North Atlantic section, where competition was o keen that she met with defeat more often than victory. But she knew that along the road of defeat lay advance- ment and she kept plugging at it until she has developed a game that places her in the class with America’s best. There is another fair racketer who competes in this sectlon, with a game somewhat similar to Miss Anderson'’s, but she lacks the Richmond girls’ vis: fon. It is said that she enters only those tournaments she is fairly sure of winning. She has the satisfaction of knowing that in three years she has not been defeated. But in those three years, her critics say, her game has remained the same. No better and no_worse. These two players stand out as eloquent proof of the theory that the experience gained by defeat is far superior to that which comes through easy victory, in life as well as in sport.

Action of Arms in the Crawl Swimming Stroke. LTHOUGH there are several varietics of the crawl swimming stroke in use at present, their distinguishing features are diffcrences in the leg drive only. As, however, this action The arm action is the same in all. has but general similarity to the ele- mentary arm movements, devised chiefly to facilitate progress in the carly stages, the beginner should proceed to effect nec able to cover a few yards with arms and legs working. soon as he, or she. wmnemn: arm start The tirst alteration to make is in the above-water recovery. Instead of throwing the arms forward fully ex- tended, as desirable in learning rudi mentary watermanship. they should now be bent as they come to the sur. face upon completing the propelling pull. No_xooner the forearm is each arm clear than must be swept around without moving the elbow: and not until the hand points ahead, a little inside of the shoulder line, should the arm start forward. This folding of the arms is very fm portant, as the balance of the entire body rests upon it to a considerable | extent, and it should be mastered he- fore other changes are attempted. Care must be had, too. not to hezin bending under water, but wait until the whole arm has emerged. After this {s accomplished other de- tails should be taken up, but with the difference that instead of perfecting any one before going on to the next 1t is advisable to give each some at- tention in turn and try to develop the whole stroke proportionately. In the process of development the aim should be to gradually attain the following standard requirements: 3ach arm to enter the water for the ssary changes just so 1, shown as | to bend for rec cr 4 | propelling drive with elbow a trifle bent and slightly higher than hand; forearm aligned with hand, palm no space between fingers ¢ to be made by cach hand di on its own side of a line drawn the middle of the body: power to be applied immediately and downward pressures arm to be curved a bit after alout one-third the sweep to the thigh, that the hand may follow the center line of progression until near the end of the pull.

For effective execution of the fore going action, power should be applied | sharply at the start of the drive and | good pressure exerted until the arm | is about to leave the water. The with- drawal and arm bend must be made in a continuous, quick movement, but the forward glide of the arm should be very slow, with muscles completely relaxed. AMERICAN SWIMMING RECORD IS SMASHED Br the Associated Preas. INDIANAPOLIS, August 19.—One national junior championship and two Middle States championships will be decided tonight in the final day's events of the three-day In- diana-Kentucky water ships at the Broad Ripple outdoor natatorium here.
