Ndbice to Young Ball Players

Spirit of aggressiveness which fairly
emanates from the athletes as they
march TO the plate, bludgeons i'm hand.
The real secret of the success of the
Detroit Tigers during the last few
years was their outward manifesta-
lions of a desire TO come forth from
battle victorious. Manager Jennings
injected an overdose of ginger into the
boys. who in turn became so infected
with enthusiasm that it was an easy
matter for them to breeze through a
game and come out on the long end.
This year the poor showing of the ST.
Louis Americans and the Chicago
White Sox can be attributed to the
lack Of aggressiveness. being espe-
cially so in the case Of the Browns. who
played half-h hearted ball all spring and
never showed to any great extent that
they really wanted to bag game. 1t
is. therefore. easily apparent that ag
gressiveness is necessary to good ball
playing.

Swimming ranks high when 1t comes
to sports that give a thorough, all
around bodily development. There Is
perhaps no other outdoor sport that
produces such symmetrical muscular
development and suppleness. Agility is
as much in evidence in a crack swim
mer as in a star ball player. There
are no lnotty- or clumsy
strong" men among speed swimmers.
There is as much difference between
water athlete and a wrestler as there is
between a magnificent satin coated
race horse and a clumsy grizzly bear.
II. ]. Handy of the Illinois Athletic
club, one of the speediest swimmers in
the world, holder OF the national cham
pionship trophy for the mile (time.
29:40 4-5), is the most typical example
of the splendid, 1.-THE development given

with the-other arm. In short, the arms
describe alternating circles in and out
of the water The head is turned on
the left side and air taken in through
the mouth every time the left arm -
raised for a stroke. The scissors
kick is the leg motion. That is. the
legs are spread apart and then switched
together like the closing of a pair OF
shears. The kick comes with every
second stroke. when the left arm *

The difference in the speed obtained

hand greatly minimizes the resistance
the body presents to the water and at
the same time increases the force of

speed swimming to develop a hand

Mack on Baseball

TO day." said Connie Mack, man
ager of the Philadelphia Americans.
there are mighty few rowdies in base
ball. Maybe once season you hear of
a player so far forgetting himself as to
make a move to assault an umpire. If
one does he suffers a penalty that will
put an effectual stop to his action.
You never hear of players coming to
blows on the field. and for the most
part there is the best of good feeling
between the men on the different
teams. though all will work their heads
off to win. Intentional spiking is now
a rarity. and profanity has passed al
most entirely out of the game. Where
before you could scarcely ever find a
player who would say a good word of
a rival. you now find each one willing
to admit that he is not the only star
that Shines"

Uncertain as baseball is, 1t Is a
practical certainty that either Chicago.
New York, Pittsburg or Cincinnati will
win the National league pennant. with
the Reds a 20 to 1 shot.
In the American league 1t is extreme
" doubtful if any team other than
Philadelphia, Detroit, New York or
Boston will capture the flag. 1t may
be. however, that a dark horse Will

Manager Chance of the Cubs is
reticent man, and when approached on
the subject did not care to make
prediction, preferring. as he said, mot
to count the chickens before they were
Matched" Just the same, there is no
leader in the business to-day who has
any more confidence in his team than
Chance.
Nothing pleases me more than the
form shown recently by my pitchers"
said Chance. During the first part OF
the year had all kinds of trouble with
nv twirlers, but at that / was not as

Just at present Brown is working
as good as he ever did in his life.

no use to me early in the season, are
once more in shape, and with the boys
playing behind such pitchers as these
I am convinced that some team will
have to play ball to get the better of

Manager McGraw does not see the
Pirates at all as contenders for the
pennant. He does not claim it for
his own team, being averse to making
boasts before the event, but he goes
so far as to say that the Cubs will
beat out the present worlds cham

American Polo Adopted

The New York polo committee has
received interesting news from Eng
land, informing them that the COM
mittee of the birmingham club has de-
cided to copy some American methods
in the effort to obtain a sounder game.
The English committee has ordered the
abolition of the recent form list ano
the substitution of the American sys-
TEN of handicapping players by points
as better means of classifying them.
AS an instance of what the change
means it was pointed out here that the
Nottingham recent form list for the
present season contains the names OF
more than thirty who are regarded as
first-class players. When. however
these same men have been handicapped
by points on lines similar to those
adopted by the American Polo associa-
ton it will be seen that as wide mar
gins as four points separate some of

Swimming for Sch0Oiboys

Here's a swimming stunt that Aquat-
ic Director Frank Sullivan of the Illi-
nois Athletic club, Chicago, finds a big
success in inter high school and inter-
grammar school swimming contests.
Every year "Sully" holds his great
boy swimming carnival in the marble
lined pool of the Illinois Athletic club.
and he's bringing out some mighty
promising talent. Among the young
schoolboy fry who are fast developing
into aquatic champs are young Harry
Hebner, who was sent to England on
the American team during the Olympic
games, and cap" Cohen.
Sullivan's annual meets. which have
so popularized swimming among the
soon to-be greats" have led Superin-
tendent of Schools Ella Flagg Young
to advocate the installation of fine
pools and baths in all Chicago schools,
with a swimming teacher for each
school.

Balls Become Nisshapen

81 have been informed" said Presi-,
dent Lynch, that the balls do not re-
main in their original shape, owing to
the fact that the core is no longer of
solid rubber, but has a smaller core, or
of rubber which is wrapped with cork.
'While in st. Louis we cut open a
couple of the balls and found that the
cork had been cracked. After these
balls had been hit by the bat they could
be squeezed out of all shape. At the
time we changed from the solid rubber
core to the rubber and cork it was the
general belief that the ball would
thereby be entirely satisfactory.
