entitled How to SWIM" He explains
all the useful strokes, An important
one the underarm side stroke, he de-
scrIbes as follows;
Having mastered the first principles
OF swimming and learned the breast
stroke, the novice Is now ready and in
variably anxious TO learn more Of the
intricacles of the art that will enable

speed and less exertion. covering lon-
ger distances without being tired or
exhausted. To do this II is necessary
TO have a knowledge OF other strokes,
and the next one in the order of pro-
gression and the one Usually learned
after the breast stroke is the under
arm side stroke. The natural position
Of the body I'm breast swimming pre-
sents o large resisting surface, and the
action Of the arms and legs wastes con-
siderable power TO overcome these
difficulties scientific swimmers have
adopted various other strokes, which
are not only faster, but, when properly
acquired, much easier, more graceful
and equally seryiceable In both long
and short distance swimming. The I'M
derarm side stroke is the first step in
the line Of advancement from the
breast method, and we shah proceed to
explain as clearly as possible the ac-
tlou Of this stroke.

but generally the right side is used by
those who are right handed, although,
Of course the side which comes most

time the kick with the legs is made,

championship irrespective Of class
would then be settled beyond contra
diction Anderson would probably de-
feat Travis, but at the same time the
steely nerved amateur champion of the
world would give the greatest profess
sional player in America hard run
for his money" Anderson should go

open championship OF Great BrRain.
We would then be able to make com
