Eugene Steinbrenner is to stay with
the Phillies throughout the season.
President Horace Fogel believes he has
picked coming star in the Pittsburgh
youth. "Steiny," as he is now famil-
iarly called, was recommended to the
Philadelphia club last season. and Fo-
gel Immediately got his signature to a
contract. This contract called for de-
livery in 1913.
Fogel had no intention Of calling the
young man before then, but events
compelled the club to hustle around for
talent. Steinbrenner's father wished
his son TO continue his scholastic work,
but, after talking matters over with
the Phillies' president, decided to let
his son join the team.
Eugene packed his wooden socks and
red tie in his telescope and started for
Philadelphia, where upon arrival, he
presented himself at the Office of the
club with the announcement, "Tm the
new second sacker Of the Phillies."
Steiny was signed and without any
spring training he jumped into the
game the day Knabe was out and COW

chances he emerged without an error

A woman living in South Carolina
boasts that her state has the largest
live oaks in the world. She discovered
in copy of Country Life In America
picture Of Il California tree labeled
The Largest Oak In the World and
she forthwith flew to the defense OF
the Carolinlan specimens.
Middleton Place Gardens on the
Ashley, near Charleston" she writes,
afford some specimens that will put
this famous California tree to third or
fourth place. On the lawn of Middle
ton Place there stands the sovereign of
South Carolina live oaks. The age Of
this tree. rs of many others near IT, is
beyond the knowledge Of man. The
waist of the trunk measures thirty-siX
feet six inches. Its spread from tip to
tip is 126 feet This Is, ms far rs can
learn, and | have investigated quite a
bit, the largest oak tree in the world.
Another Middleton Place specimen
Is probably the most beautiful, in eX-
istence and second in point Of size, hay

Is to be found on one Of the terraces

was only twenty-five feet in circumfer-
ence and the spread 125 feet. Then
wrote to friend Of mine who while
in England interested herself very
much in the oak trees there, their
size, etc.
"She writes that she neither saw nor
heard Of an oak tree there that was as
large as that on the lawn ut Middleton

that there was in England now the de-
cayed stump Of an oak tree that once
boosted the noble waist measurement
of sixty-t feet.

SAVING THE DROWNING

To assist drowning person the res
cuer should not undertake to swim
straight toward him and attempt to
grab the unfortunate from the front.
This might lead to disaster. The
drowning one will clutch at anything
and hold fast. He prevents the rescuer
from keeping his air, aud when that is
exhaled it is all up with both.
Here Is the way have saved many
n person." says champion swimmer
and former life saver. First, to get
to Il drowning man, swim around him
and seize him beneath the armpits
from behind. Then you are out of the
reach of his arms and can hold him up
and tread water. At times one must
use other means of rescue
Usually the person won't listen to
your advice to keep still and will wrig-
gle around and try to seize you by the
neck The only thing to do in that
case is to deal him blow on the bridge
Of the nose and stun him. Then the
rest is easy.
another important feature I'm the
rescue work is that of getting rid of
the water and restoring respiration
When the rescued person is on shore the
first thing TO do is to stand him on his
head and hold his feet straight up in
the air. The water will gush from his
lungs, and when 1t stops flowing stand
him OH his feet with his back toward
you and by holding him about the alb
domen allow him to hang Imply over.
Another step Is to lay him over
barrel or any other object face upward
and his head lowered toward the
ground. Seize his hands and work
them with n circular motion from the
head TO the abdomen and back again.
In bringing the arms back toward the
head keep them wide open so that air
will be forced into the lungs.
but, like everything else. even n
novice can make an effort to prevent
himself from drowning. When a man
falls into the water who cannot swim
the easiest way to keep up Is to have
the lungs well filed with air. This, to-
gether with the hands extended palm
downward on level with the breast
and a few motions of the feet. will
keep him on top for about n half hour,
and In this time he has many chances
of being rescued

My life Is like the summer rose
That opens to the morning sky,
But ere the shades of evening close
Is scattered on the ground TO die.
Yet on the roses humble bed
The sweetest dews OF night are shed,
AS IL she wept the waste to see.
But none shall weep a tear for me.
Ny life Is like the autumn leaf
That trembles In the moons pale ray
It's hold Is frail, it's date is brief,
Restless and soon TO pass away
Yet ere that leaf shall fan and fade
The parent tree will mourn its shade,
The winds bewail the leahess tree.
But none shall breathe sigh for me.
My life is like the prints which feet
Have left on Tampa's desert strand;
Soon as the rising tide shall beat
All trace will vanish from the sand.
: Yet, as IL grieving to elface
All vestige of the human race,
on that lone shore loud means the sea.
But none, alas, shall mourn for me!

both arms to the right and left. The
hands should not be sunk deep under
the water, as nothing 50 tends to raise
the body. The object is TO keep the
body as nearly horizontal as possible
and to propel it straight forward with
out raising it. AS the arms are brought
around in the movement described the
lower limbs are stiffened and brought
firmly together.
Diving is a sport which has been tax
ell up with enthusiasm nowadays by
American swimmers. There are about
five distinct dives-the plain front, the
plain back, the front jackknife, the
back jackknife and the one and half
dive. These are made from different
heights.

LEARNING TO SWIM

In learning to swim the first effort
should be made to float. Everything
else comes when that trick has been
thoroughly learned. Fear of the water
departs when It Is once learned that
the body when properly disposed will
not sink, and when the fear Is gone
there IL nothing left to learn but the
various movements to propel the body
through the water and some exercises
In breathing that are more important
than may appear at first glance.
At the first lesson let Il person I'm
whom the beginner has confidence go
along I'm the character of Instructor.
1t does not matter If the so called in
structor cannot swim stroke--tlle
moral support of his presence Is what
Is wanted, as well as his help In prop
erly executing few plainly described
movements.
person to assist in buoylng 1t up. Cork
belts, air jackets, inflated bladders and
all such contriyances should be avoid
ed Their effect Is to raise some parts
of the body too high and allow other
parts to sink too far below the natural
plane of fiotation. The fact must he
accepted by the beginner that the
weight Of the body Is lighter than the
specific weight of the water it will dis
place. The air In the lungs Is respon-
sible for this quality; hence 1t follows
that the more air there is In the lungs
the more buoyant the body will be In
the water. A caution should he spoken
about the clothing worn in the water.
Let no more be worn than Is enjoined
by modesty.
The hrst attempt to float should be

made in this manner: Wade out into
the water, with your companion by
your side. until the water comes well
up around the chest. Then, with Il full
indrawing OF the breath. throw the
body back into the water with the
head toward the shore. Instantly the
hand of the assistant should be placed
under the small Of the back, when it
will be found that barely perceptible
pressure will be sufficient to sustain
the learner in that position. Assume
nearly horizontal position. with all
parts Of the head buried except the
mouth and nose. Legs should be ex-
tended rigidly and kept just below the
surface. The back Of the head must
be submerged, else the mouth and nose
cannot be kept above the surface.
After a moment or two in the de-
scribed position the assistant should re-
move his supporting hand. Rather, he
should gradually and imperceptibly re-
move the pressure required to keep the
swimmer afloat. The probable effect
Of this will be that the beginner will
Immediately begin to sink The only
reason for this Is the knowledge that
the support has been withdrawn, If
1t could have been withdrawn without
the knowledge Of the learner he would
have continued to float, so dependent

The sea and the mill pond the

To swim, float, dive and tread water

Swimming depends on the co-ordi-
