Roosevelt has passed successfully the
crisis, and his recovery from the eff
fects of the wound, his physicians
say, will now be swift and sure. He
has slanting wound in his chest
seven inches long in immediate prox-
unity to vital organs, and the healing
Of this wound and the reuniting of
the parted tissues is a task the mag
nitude of which he has not appre-
ciated.
Danger of infection, the surgeons
say, practically is at an end and in
like manner they assert that the DOS
sibillty OF lockjaw no longer exists.
1t was decided with as much def
niteness as is possible under the cir
cumstances that Colonel Roosevelt
should make one speech toward the
close Of the campaign, if his broken
rib does not prevent. It will be in
Madison Square garden, New York
on October 30.

banks two or three feet above the wa

bank to bank at one end of the swim
ming pool.
Suppose a boy chases you. If you
are clever you run across the plank
and along the bank of the creek. Ii
your pursuer starts to cross the plank
you wait until he nearly reaches the
bank you are on, then take shallow
dive and in one movement are back
again on the other side of the creek. Ii
he dives in to follow, you dive while
he is under water. When he comes up
he will find you squatting on the op-
posite bank.
The game demands quick thinking
and clean diving, swimming, running
and lodging Sometimes boy barely
two feet in advance of his pursuer will
dive across pool. spring upon the op-
posite bank just in time to escape be-
ing tagged. turn like fash. dive over
the head of the boy in the water and
be on the shore from which he started
before the other fellow can turn
around.
Diving and turning under water SO
as to return to the original diving place

esting aquatic sport can be Varied
