the Australian papers which are at hand
devote columns Of description TO this
STYLE having got to the point or Illus
trating his method. Even the expert in
this country are unable TO fathom the
peculiarities OF his stroke, which has
reduced all the notable swimmers in
Australia and New Zealand TO despair
1t should be said. by the way. that the
swimmers Of that part Of the world are
men OF extraordinary sWiffnesS, endur
ance and power. GOrmly does not pre-
tend 20 train for his races, but makes
II a point to spend six or eight hours
every day I'm the water. His stroke is
now being copied by Il number of pro-
fessional and amateur swimmers OF the
antipodes lie sWims, according TO tht
description. with his right arm perfectly
straight-that is, II makes a long, SLOW
sweep from the shoulders downward anC

But the real stroke which sends him

scribed as the corkscrew motion Of the
left leg. which Is drawn up and out Of
the water, so as TO be almost completely
water and thrust backward with a cork
screw motion, which sends the body
along at a remarkable rate Of speed"
This Is the most succinct explanation
which has yet been given of Gormly's
method OF swimming. He is coming over
here next summer, so when the camera
fiends get at him the public will know
all about TIE "corkscrew motion" which
