Forty seconds does not seem
very fast for a 50-yard swim and
there are first-class high school
boy swimmers today who can bet
ter that mark, but there is not a
woman swimmer the length of the
Pacific coast except Mrs. Terie
Desch who is capable of better
time. Mrs. Desch now holds both
the so and 100-yard coast records
for women.
The woman's worlds record of
81 seconds for so yards is held by
Fanny Durack, the Australian
maid who went to Stockholm and
made nearly a clean sweep of
the girls swimming races at the
Olympiad.
Mrs. Desch swims with her
shoulders high out of the water,
quite the opposite idea to the
methods adopted by the fast crawl
stroke swimmers. She uses the
crawl, nevertheless, and travels
through the water with an even,
steady stroke that has plenty of
power in the arm action, and the
leg thrash from the knee Is a
powerful one.
Many and glowing are the trib-
ufes heard on the Pacific coast for
the beautiful exhibitions of fancy

Mexican is in the liquor bust
ness in Cleveland To-Day. From
the time he left the big league
in 1900, until 1909, he managed

His playing career was practl-

he played for Is consecutive
years. He started with Rochester
in 1856. and from 1887 to 1899
he played with the Cleveland

TRACK MEET

The directors of the Pierce
County Athletic association an
nounced last night that on March
IA they would hold a big indoor
track meet between the MEM
bers of the association at the Y.
NJ. c. A.
Among the events that will be
featured is the relay race. The
following organizations make up
the association: Stadium High
school, Puget Sound university,
Falkland Lutheran academy,
Falkland Athletic club and the
Armory Athletic association.

fighting aggregation, the Cleve-
land Spiders.
And one of the strongest
spokes in the Cleveland wheel
was the hard-hitting shortstop,
Edward J. Mexican.
On the Cleveland team were
Pat" Tebeau, Cupid" Childs,
Jim McGarr, Jim NHdAleer,
Grab" Burkett, Blake, ICY"
Young. Mig" .Cuppy, Jack o'Con-
nor, Chief" thinner and Nc
Kean.
1t was rough-and-ready
crew; ready to fight a buzz saw.
1t fought for its own share and
the other fellows, too, and the
umpires dreaded to see them
come onto the field. Tom Lynch,
now president Of the National
league, mixed with them more
than once.
Mexican at short and Childs
at second rivaled the Long-Lowe
combination. Childs was short
and stocky, Mexican was a big,
thick-set fellow, and their work
around the keystone, handling
balls and blocking base runners
was a revelation.
The post-season games in those
days were played between the
team that won the flag and the
runner-up, and Cleveland was
always runner-up.
Many claim that the Orioles OF
the '90's were the finest team ever
assembled, but in the Temple cup
series of 1895 Cleveland trimmed
them four out of FIVE games. 1t

The greatest ball player that
ever lived, from McKean's View

And it Is to Amos Rusie that
Mexican bows as the greatest OF

but Rusie seems to hold on with

Mexican is still a young man.
He was born in Cleveland in

the first that their walk was a
quest. They chose the most
frequented thoroughfares, and where
the throng was thickest there
only they fingered. There was a new
look In the face of the elder girl, a
grim Tightening of the lips, curious
doggedness about the jaws. a light in
the black eyes which made her sister
shudder to look upon.
For there were in Joan Strong, daugh-

Something in her nature had been
touched which, in an ordinary case,
would have lain dormant forever.
Cicely knew It. and was terrified. This

whom she walked, this steadfast. untir-

questioning the passing throngs. They
had become great way removed dur

world. With aching feet and tears in
her eyes, Cicely kept pace as well as
she could with the untiring, relentless
figure by her side
Many people looked at them curl
ously-the tall, Cassandra-like figure of
the elder woman, and the pretty, slight
girl struggling to keep pace with her,
her lips Quivering. her eyes so obviously
full of fear. The loiterers on the pave
ment stared Joan's fierce, untiring
eyes took no more notice of them than
If they had been dumb figures. Cicely
was continually shrinking back from
glances half familiar. half challenging.
More than once they were openly ac-
costed, but Joan swept such attempts
away with stony indifference. For hour
after hour they walked steadily on
then, with a little sob of relief, Cicely
saw at last that they had reached their
own street. The elder girl produced
key and drew a long sigh Then she
looked curiously down at her COM
panion.
