Telenhone 33-3, —— BUSTER ELIONSKY 4, SWIMS IN STRAITJACKET. ‘Legs Shackled, Covers Five Miles in 2 160 Minutes. _ 'Wearing e straitjacket, and with his legs kled with 15 feet of heavy chains, Henry Elionsky, a commodore in the American Life Saving society, and one of the best known “stunt” swimmers in the United States, swam Sunday from the Battery to Sixty-fifth street, in Bay Ridge, N. Y. a distance of five miles, in two hours and forty ‘minutes. v ‘The straitjacket which Elionsky wore was the regulation type used in insane asylums. It bound the body closely, strapped his arms to his side and fastened in the back. The chains were wrapped closely about his legs, binding them together from his hips to his ankles. His only means of pro- pulsion, beyond the lunge from th shoulder and the chest, was by moving his knee joints and threshing the water with his legs. Elionsky slipped into the water of the police basin at the Battery, after convincing several policemen, who tried to stop him, that he had no_intention of committing suicide. Half a dozen lifeboats, filled with life guards, and with a physician in one of them, fol- lowed him. Elionsky swam the entire distance like a-porpoise, plunging head first into the water, threshing with the lower part of his limbs, and then com- ing, to the surface for an . instant's breathing. The water was very rough and several times Elionsky was bowled over by big waves. Elionsky was in almost perfect con- dition when he was lifted from the ‘water at Bay Ridge. The ounly visible effects of the swim were on his limbs, where the iron chains had chafed and cut into the flesh, and marks on his chest and arms, where the straitjacket, being buckled ‘a bit too tight, cut off the flow of blood and in some spots bruised the flesh. Elionsky is 21 years old, and when he is not swimming around shackled or towing boats, he teaches swimming at the big pool in Steeplechase park, at. Coney Island. Some of his exploits seem to be well nigh impossible. Once he swam from Brooklyn bridge to Bay Ridge, shackled, and towing seven men In a boat. This was in mid-winter. Two weeks ago he swam from the Battery to the pier at ~Steeplechase park with his hands and arms shackled and next Sunday he expects to swim from the Battery to Fort Wadsworth In the Narrows with his arms and legs shackled and with two men bound to his back. Adverse water conditions yesterday palked George Esselborn of New York In an effort to break the existing rec- ord for the swim from the Battery to Sandy Hook. After being in the water three houns and seeing that, with the rough sea running, he would be unable to accomplish his task, he gave up the fight. Easelborn /Jeft the -starting point at $.15 p. m. He made great progress through Buttermilk channel and out Inte’ the lower bay, When he began to face a head-on wind that churned up the water.in high rollers. He contin- ged to battle on and, passing Close to Fort Wadsworth, on the S s Island shore, it was seen that he could not sontinue on much further.

Ot course, Cobb and his co-partners were expected to be the advance guard of the Tiger attack, but their most san- guine admirers did not anticipate the demon slugging that this trio has in- dulged in since the opening of the sea- son.

" Jotmny Evers, the flery leader of the Boston Braves is again in trouble. Johnny can no more keep out of trouble of some kind than a fish can on umpires feet with ith sharp spikes is a favorite diversion with some ball players, and if Evers performed this little trick, as stated by Quigley, per- haps he can be excused for striking the player. The lot of the umpire is not particularly a happy one, and the one who permits a player to win an argument of this kind will have his troubles indeed. As a rule umpires are honest,. capable and long suffering; they have to bear the burdens of the shortcomings of the players, but there is no reason why they should stand for assaults of the nature of which Quigley accuses Evers. Very little was ever accomplished by a player disput- ing a decision of an umpire as Evers knows. full well from a thousand and one losing battles with the arbitrators. If the playing were as free from errors as the umpiring s from mistakes, the error column in the box scores could be dispensed with. Superbas Still Winning. Brooklyn, N.

Later Was Affected by News of the Torpedoing of the American Steam- er Leolanaw. New York, July 26.—Movements of stocks were unusually large today and speculation, particularly in the war issues, found wide play. The tendency wag decidedly upward, but news of the torpedoing of the American steamer Leelanaw gave the market a bad turn in the middle of the session. There were severe breaks in a number of in- stances and the whole market sold off, but the persistency of the buying movement was shown in the prompt recovery which was effected. Total sales were 925,000 shares, The sensitiveness of the market to influences growing out of the inter- pational political situation was indi? cated strikingly by the quickness of the break following receipt of the first news of the Leelanaw incident. In som3-instances prices broke a point or more between sales. The low price for Bethlehem Steel was 5 points un- der its top figure for today. The ex- treme movements in Baldwin Locomo- tive, Can, Westinghouse Electric, Beet Sugar, American Locomotive, General Electrie, Cruéible Steei, Amer- ican Coal Products and Allis-Chal- mers ran from 4 to 9 points. As de- tails were received concerning _the circumstances attending the sinking of the Leelanaw, the market recovered from its alarm and buying was resum- ed with confidence, many shares rising above their earliest high levels. On the constructive -side a number of influences were brousht to bear. Re- ceipt of further large orders helped the war stocks. Reports of a proposed new combination of steel companies stimulated -the stocks of the corpos tions concernedfl. There were signs of heaviness, however, in some quart- ers. Coppers dragged on_ unsatisfac- tory trade conditions and consumers ‘were sald to be holding off for furth- er price concessions. Railroad shares continued their receipt . reactionary trend, with particular weakness in St. Paul, Union Pacific and the East- ern trunk line issues. " American association are mot paid promptly does not apply to the Indian- 1polis club,” said Pete Stewart, secre. tary of the local club, when informed of_President Gilmore’s assertion.

In the second game Tesreau shut out Pittsburgh with five scattered hits and struck out seven men.

B H PC CHASE TOWARDS PENNANTVILLE IN NATIONAL LEAGUE GREAT. All Eight Teams Have a Chance For the Flag. If it were not for laws to the con- trary a book on the National League race for this season should make about the best betting proposition imagin- able. With almost four months of the six months' journey finished, not one of the eight starters can be counted out of the money. There is not a team against whose chances one would care to lay too heavy odds of finishing one, two, three, unless tradition be taken into accord as far as Cincinnati is_concerned. For compactness and general all around uncertainty, _the National League chase toward Pennantville this year is the best the league has en- joyed since its inception. The Big Three, New York, Chicago and Pitta- burgh, have been successfully routed and in some Instances obscured by the perseverance of the downtrodden five others until right at this moment it seems that Brookiyn and Philadel- phia are to upset precedent, history and all other favors by riding the crest of the prosperous wav Struggling from last place to second in the standing of the clubs in less than a month the Dodgers have fur- nished the sensation for the month of July. In April and the greater part of May it was the Phillies that caused interest. Then the Cubs through June furnisbed fodder for Chicago pennant wishers, with the Phillies, Cardinals ang Pittsburgh trailing close enough to be gentle reminders that they, too, were likely contenders.
