OF q piece as is the punctuation in

put in so much punctuation as they
used to do, but the pauses In the voice
are here just the same and are readi-

are like the pauses In reading that are

ter es. If the player sights the rests
or xtends them too long the whole eff

AMERICAN SWIMMERS.
Sensational Work Has INDICATED
Methods of Stroke.

NEW YORK, April 1O.-The sensational
work Of American swimmers during the
recent competition for the national in
door championship has been looked upon
by coaches and instructors in this coun-
try as a complete vindication of their
methods for never before has such sprint
ing been seen, and all the men who fig
ured prominently used the form Of crawl
stroke introduced and developed among
Americans.
Doubtless there will be raised again
abroad the cry that we are claiming
credit to which we are not entitled. De-
cause Australians discovered the crawl,
but unprejudiced people who have given
the question close study will not join
in the cry. There is more difference De-
tween the Australian and American types
of crawl, than between the old trudgeon
and the original crawl. The stroke adj
vocated by Dick Cavill Of New South
Wales, who is quoted as one Of the best
of modern coaches. is the one mainly
used by the foreigners We have seen
here.

Queer Conduct Of Big Elephant Dis
covered by Keeper.

NEW YORK. April 10.-Gunda, big
gest and baddest" Of the elephants at
the Bronx zoo. has been under surveil-
lance for the last week because Of
his strange actions. Since being given
the range Of the yard outside his house
he took up his stand in one corner
close beside the main walk.
Yesterday afternoon Keeper Thur
man found the reason for his odd be-
havior. Under the edge OF a pile Of
hay which Gunda himself had fashion,
ed. Thurman found g. mallard duck
sitting on six eggs. The moment Thur
man approached them Gunda warned
him to be careful
you're sentimental old fraud"
Thurman replied, and Gunda danced a
Jig to show that he didn't care IL he
was. His great feet drummed all
around the nest, but the mallard never
winked. Thurman says she knew she
had no reason to be afraid.
