ROWING GIRL IN EVIDENCE
AT THE SUMMER RESORTS


A pair of arms whose trained muscles can

training y chest deepened by hard breath

This year she is having the biggest sea-

GREAT TRAP SHOOTING.
Mr.. Leer Broke 100 Targets Consecu-

broken 100 or over straight this year, and
is a worlds record. His shooting was in
perfect form and was much admired by all
who were fortunate to witness 1t.

which were the championships of Kansas,
Nebraska and Oklahoma. and as a pro-

Belts adds interest and enjoyment to the
games by keeping the boys going all the
time. the games on the hill this season
having averaged about an hour and half,
and one game-Calvary Vs. Gurley-con-
sumed Just fifty-eight minutes.
One of the features of Mr.. Belts work
most pleasing to the fans is his announce
ments. and. when occasion demands, his
heart-to-heart" talks with the players and
public.
He is ever willing to explain his decisions,
IL requested, readily quoting the rule gov
erning the play in question.
Mr.. Belts first came prominently before
the public in 90, when Uncle Nick
Young secured him berth umpiring in the
Oh City League, where he made such good
record President Young, In 1894, assigned
him to duty on the National League circuit,
where he made good during the period
when the players could come back and
the umpires were not protected as at pres
ent by league presidents.
When the Atlantic League was organized
Mr.. Belts selected as one Of the rob
bers,' and remained with the league until
1t dsbanded
Since leaving the Atlantic League Mr..
Belts has umpred many of the big college
games. upon assignments from Presidents
Young and Pulliam, but he now confines his
batter up to the national capital
Last year was the first season the league,
owing to the large number of clubs,
branched out into two sections, and again
there was difficulty in getting efficient
umpire until the Venabe brothers, Dave"
and Buck took up the indicators. Both
have given entire satisfaction, the former
having served the entire season in all sec
ton B games on both the White Lot and
northeast grounds. while Charlie, popularity
known Buck" has taken care of section
A games on the White Lot.
Buck is better known as player than
an umpire, having had much experience in
the former to fit him for the latter position.
He has always played short and played 1t
well. He with the pennant-wnning
Eastern Athletic Club in 80, the New York
State League, and Raleigh when it won the
pennant IN 1900. In 1902 Buck lined up
with the Pine Bluff team, in the Cotton
States League played independent ball in
1903 and last year was with the Cumber-
land independent team. This year, before
his appointment in the Sunday School
League, Buck was on the strong Commits
when his duties will permit.
The Jumps have been getting their
bumps harder than usual this year. es-
pecially Dave, who after getting raped

cross between night mare and straight
jacket.

the dread of blisters or callous places over
master any desire to row. But the girl of
today rises above petty vanities of this
kind. She has discovered that the most
beautiful of all charms is health, and to get
this she is willing to sacrifice the snow
white hands.
White has given place to tan as the favor
tie summer complexion, and there is no
place where the darker shades be as
quickly and successfully obtained in a
boat. on the surface water bathed in the
sunlight The broad expanse of water acts
as a reflector and the richest of browns Is
CLEANED in a few days.
Nor does the rowing girl merely toy with
the sport like a dilettante. She wants a
boat in which she can go wherever man
dare. That is all she specifies. 1t can be
big or little, her craft, but there must be
no limitations on where she can venture
with 1t.
She has learned every trick of feathering
her oars or rowing against a current of
picking her way through streams studded
with rocks and where a false stroke might
mean disaster. She knows how to cross a
stream above cataract, she can breast the
toughest breakers; steering Is simple to
her as common addition to expert mathe-
matician. and in the waist of her craft she
is as much at home as the hardened mariner
on the breast of the ocean, with plenty of
room, and stout vessel under his feet.
The rowing girl is more than a pretty
spectacle-she Is guarantee for future
generations of Americans. She Is laying up
a store of health that will be transmitted
from generation TO generation. But If only
as a picture she is well worth the while.
and the man who cannot admire her high

lake and tumbled overheard.
That's all he's good for.

THE TENNIS PLAYERS

NEW YORK, August 5.-The defeat Of
the American tennis team was dsappoint-
ment to followers of the sport in this couf,-
try, for II was thought that after the mag
nifcent play in the preliminary rounds the
team had an excellent chance to recover the
trophy won here in 1903. That the team
would be defeated In straight matches was
not expected. despite the caliber of the cup
defenders. In some quarters there is a dis
position to question the selection of the
team in that Beals c. Wright was left out
of the singles.
All reports from England give universal
prominence to Wrights game. and II was
confidentially expected that after his re-
markable playing against the Australian.
Brookes. he would be one of the playe to
enter the singles. The fact that Brookes
defeated Smith, and was in turn defeated by
Wright, showed the latter's caliber for
Smith later defeated Larned in the chal-
lenge round. There are many close follow
ers of tennis who believe that Wright is the
coming American champion In singles. 1t Is
reported that he will go in more for single
play hereafter.
The play showed that the Dohertys are
not equallng their game of two years ago,
but at that they are trifie too steady for
the American experts. This appeared to be
their one great advantage over the players
of this country in the Davis cup matches
regardless of how the scores were set
against them, they were never beaten back
or Mustered, and returned shot after shot
while waiting for their opponents game
Even the English accounts of the play adj
nit that In service and killing returns the
American players were equal to or surpass-
ed the home experts. 1t was at the crucial
moments of the play that the Dohertys
proved, both individually and as a team,
Just so much superior to the Americans as
to give the margin of victory. Should they
accept the pressing invitation to visit this
country with the returning Americans and
play in the national championships fur
Their test of their ability should be a great
help to the tennis players of this country.

The tools for the sport are few and sim

here as in almost all other angling a split

common to split bamboo, and which has
come TO be regarded by critical anglers as

is distinct advantage in q wood rod as
regards ease of repair in case Of break
possessed by no other material Steel rods
are also largely popular for this new form
OF angling, and the pattern known the
Kalamazoo bait casting rod with large
agate guides, is excellent.
AS to length Of rod expert opinions vary
1t may be generally stated. however. that
the length of five and one half feet has
come to be regarded as sensible and service
able and of sufficient length to cast well for
day and kill the fish with satisfaction and
dispatch
A two-piece rod may be commended over
that having more joints and in the opinion
or the writer butt with one piece tip is
the ideal arrangement for both good ca ST
ing and comfortable handling of the fish
Generally the preferred rod has a double
handle or wrapping just above the reel
seat. The purpose of this extra handle ia

when the strikes may be expected
An interesting addition to the handle or
grip is now being marketed in the form of
a finger grip or half loop into which the
first finger of the right hand is inserted
when the cast is made. This insures steadi-
ness and control In casting and also fur

rod when the line is being reeled In.
