DO YOU KNOW
HOW TO SWIM F?
If Not, Read This and
Then Take a Few
Lessons
HOW TO BECOME AN EXPERT
What to Do in Case of Cranlp.--The
Swift Scissors and Arm Move-
ment---Tricks That Are
Easy to Learn

| July and August are the prime month
for swimming and the boys who wish tc
become experienced and develop goot
speed in the water should indulge in this
the most deligh tful of all pastimes, as
freqenty as is consistent with the laws Of
health.
Comparatively few persons who swim
are proficient enough to reach drowning
person or tow him to safety or support
him until assistance arrives. This is due
to the fact that the particular muscles
which swimming call into play have be-
come faccid through want of exercise,
and consequently give out at the critical
moment.
Everyone can learn to swim, even Grip
pies and deformed persons. Self-confi-
dence only is required. 1t is not intended
here to outline the various methods of
learning to swim. Detailed descriptions
are il such cases almost worthless. The
boy who really desires 10 learn can do so
either at natatoriGm or by watching u
swimmer and picking it up for himself.
fter two or three attempts, either by
crawling off a shelving shore until his
hands cannot reach the bottom, when he
bly by placing under his chest board or
plank, ne will have made some headway,
and proficiency then is only a matter OF
practice.
To become speedy swimmer is, how
ever, more difficult. This, as well as long
distance swimming, requires consider
able muscular effort and good staying
powers. One OF the greatest mistakes
made by persons when they first begin to
practice for speed is in trusting to their
arms for the principal impetus. Any
professional swimmer will tell you that
this is wrong; that you should depend
on the strong muscles of the legs to shoot
you forward. The muscles of the chest
are bound to become wearied if they are
depended on for all the work
The question as to the movement of the
legs is an important one in connection
with last swimming. Captain Webb, who
swan acorss the English channel from
Dover to Calais, distance.of thirty-tive
miles, in 81 AS. contended that the best
speed was to be had by moving the legs
SCISSOR fashion. while others have trusted
entirely to the resistance offered by the

rate. it is conceded that the race for
first place is between those two clubs.
The struggle in the South Side league
is equally interesting. The strongest
clubs are the South Side and Phoenix.
To date the former has lost twelve and
won twenty-five, with a percentage of
.647, and with two more games to play
against the strong Peerless club. The
Phoenix have won twenty-one and lost
eleven, average $50, with four more
games to play. The Phoenix club is
nine points ahead, and its chances for
winning the championship are very
bright. JEPWORTH.

Ted Alexander has severed his con-
nection with the Metropolitan Athletic
Club, and that organization is without
a manager Alexander will depart for
the East. This action was not taken
because of any dissatisfaction on the
part of the club, but because Alexander
was not pleased with the patronage.
In short. he was disguised Under his
management some high class entertain
ments were given in the club house,
but the patronage was very poor. The
club has not made any money, and as
Alexander saw no immediate prospect
of a better thing. he wisely concluded
to resign. What effect this will have
upon the future of the club has not yet
been determined even by the organiza-
ton. Certain it is, that Alexander was
one of the most gentlemanly fellows
who ever officiated in any capacity in
"a prize ring. as we'll as a square sports
man. He has been boxer himself,
and enjoys an intimate acquaintance
with the best men in the business.

The reorganized Wheeling team will
be a formidable aggregation of ball
tossers. The club will be strongest
where it has hitherto been weakest. in
the pitchers box In Conover Kane,
Brodie and McCleary the club will have
the flower OF the pitching talent in the
Interstate League When the fielders
have a little more practice they will
play well together. At present some of
them are playing positions to which
they are unused. Ball is a trile nerv-
Gus at short, but he is a splendid
fielder and will give a good account of
himself before the season is much
farther advanced. If White plays as
good a game at third as he has at short,
the fans" will be satisfied. The out
field will be particularly strong In
Kerr, Cooper and Somers. Wheeling
has a trio of players who can not only
field well, but can hit the ball In
fact the club, forming an estimate
from the individual records of the play
erS. is one of the best professional
teams which has ever represented this
city, and the patrons have a right to
expect a good quality of ball. Wheel
ing is after the pennant in earnest, and
the other clubs will have to hustle.

The pennant race in the National
League is very pretty and interesting
The first eight clubs are punched be-
tween 800 and 800 and any one Of
them may win out The only club
which appears to have a cinch on plaza
is the Louisville team, which seems
doomed to bring up the tail end of the
procession Wheeling lovers Of the
game would like to see Pittsburg finish
in first place. and the Pirates have as
good a chance as any other club.
They are deficient in good hitters, but
this weakness is more than offset by
the fielding ability Of the team. Balt-
more is still putting up a good quality
Of ball. while New York looms up in
the race as a dangerous dark horse.
The Musee bowling race grows more
exciting as the season draws to a close.
The Brownies last week crawled up a
notch on the leaders, and it will be a
hard battle from this time forward, for
the coveted championship. The Brown
les took three straight games from their
opponents, while the NamelesS dropped
one, leaving the narrow margin of one
game between the two leading clubs.
This the Brownies hope to wipe out dur
ing the coming week, but there is no

Wheeling and the Unheavenly Twins
have been admitted to the Iron and
Oil League after a hard fight, and then
only after Offering the very strongest
inducements. Buckenberger boosted
this community at the meeting of man
ayers as the best base ball town on
earth of its size, and the Iron and Oil
people concluded that a city with such
a gilt-edged reputatio =" liberality
in patronizing the game could we'll af-
ford to pay double guarantee. Wheel
ing is really helping the Twins since
if the argument of increased mileage
was carried out, the Twins would have
to put up bigger guarantee than
Wheeling. The fact that the man
agement of the local club was willing
to enter upon such terms argues a faith
in the patronage of the Wheeling fans"
and determination to furnish a good
quality of base ball at any cost. 1t
remains to be seen whether this liber-
atty will be properly appreciated.
The Iron and Oil League is a faster
organization than the Interstate. and
appears to have a more substantial
foundation. There is no weakness in
the financial backing of the respective
clubs, nor is there any weakness in the
playing ability of the teams In the
opening games the Twins were shut out
by score of % to 0, and Wheeling was
defeated % to g. Both Interstate
clubs were crippled, and both had an
off day. If the Iron and Oil clubs ex-
pect to have an easy thing with Wheel
ing and the Twins they may as well
prepare for a disappointment. Both
are after the pennant, and both will
certainly finish in the first half at
least, if they do not head the list.
