I ing of the methods by which quick aio
may be given to any one who meets with
an accident or is taken suddenly ILL Blu,
It is also probable that no branch re-
ceives less attention from the average
person.
That is why we lay such stress upon II
in training our Boy Scouts and why we
demonstrate by frequent drill and actual
example the many ways in which the VIC
tim of illness or accident may be aided
Immediately and effectively. no matter
where the emergency may occur or how
few are the means of help within reach.
The principles which underlie Boy Scout
training in first aid to the injured and
the methods by which ii is applied are
just as applicable to Campfire Girls. to
parties of school girls and their teachers
camping out. and to women campers, as
they are to the hundreds of thousands
of Boy Scouts. among whom they have
been entirely successful.
The first of these is embodied in the
scout law which declares the boy to be
/" a friend to ALL and in that section OF
the scout oath in which he promises '' TO
hnI,, at
the very start, and in the simplest, most
binding way. the young scout is made to
feel the obligation that is upon him OF
always being willing and ready TO show
kindliness and helpfulness to others. The
Boy Scout membership is nearing the half
million mark, and everywhere and in all
shown themselves eager to render help
wherever it was needed.
Be Prepared.
Another of these underlying principles
is found in the scout motto BE pre-
pared" Knowing how to give first aid
in cases of injury is one of the essen
tials of being prepared. One of the re-
quirements to pass from the degree OF
tenderfoot to that OF second-class scout
is that he understand elementary first |
aid and bandaging, such as the treatment
for fainting. shock. fractures. bruises, |
sprains, burns, scalds, injuries in which |
the skin is broken. and be able TO demon ,
strate the carrying of the injured and !
the use of the triangular and roller band |
ages and the tourniquct.
Then to pass on to the grade of first |
class scout he must know advanced first |
aid. such as the methods of panic pre-
vention. what 10 do IN case of fire. ice. !
gas. and electric accidents, how TO help |
in case of snake bite, mad dog, or runa- |
way horse the treatment for dislocations, |
faintirg. poisoning. sunstroke. freezing. |
earache. cramp. chills and be able to
demonstrate artificial respiration.
When they go into camp or on hike the |
first-aid equipment that is carried de-
pends a good deal on the scout master
But the general principle is to reduce the
equipment to a minimum. and so develop
resourCefulness. The hospital corps

great swim.
His time was caught to the fraction
of a second by the two timers the an
nounced time being % is seconds
This time is the fastest that so yards
has ever been swum in, the existing
record being held by Wickham of Aus
tralia with 23 3-5 seconds. Solomon,
also of Australia, and Huszagh of Chi
cago have the same times as Wickham.
The duke had a hard time to defeat
Walter Pomeroy of the Olympic club
in the half mile open water swim.
Pomeroy hung on to the Hawaiian over
the full course. and 1t was only the
superior sprinting powers Of the duke
which won the long race for him by
about three yards.

Two Rounds in West :.

CHICAGO. July 2S.-Playing for the
first time on grass courts California's
new pair of tennis stars. John Strachan
and Clarence Griffin. fought their way
through two rounds each today in the
western championship tournament at
Onwentsia
Neither experienced serious opposi-
tion. though strachan found more
capable opponents than did his fellow
townsman-
In Jerry Weber Of the Wanderers
club of Chicago. strachan almost
caught tartar after the opening
games of which he solved webber's
style of play, and won e.. 6--3.
Webber made a gallant fight in the
games, but. playing the aggressive
style characteristic of coast players.
Strachan came back. won the next
three games all in love" and then
took the next three.
Griffin defeated d. f. Wiley of Evans
ton in the opening match So, 60.
Half an hour later Griff1n's business
like style had disposed of w. u. Knight
of Minneapolis, nearly as easily, 81,
6-1
Nell MacNeil of Berwyn was Strach-
ans second victim. and in the second
set he gave the San Franciscan a hard
battle. The scores were 81. -6-3.
Walter Hayes, local favorite for
championship honors. found an easy
opponent In William J. Hoppe OF Chi
cago winning 6-2, 60.
Harry Waidner. veteran. won with
out much exertion from f. W. Copeland

envious. The California; starts this
play by smashing the ball with a full
arm motion meeting it shoulder high.
The ball travels over the net at high
speed and lands in the far corner of
the court near the courtline. AS the
receiver runs up to meet it the ball
takes a quick turn to the opposite
side completely fooling the player
with its wide curve The service is
particularly effective against tall
players, for the ball in bounczng
hardly leaves the ground.
No. 3.-The favorite Mclaughlin

the court the champion can pull off
his sensational kill" plays. His over
head work is murderous and his op
ponent stands little chance Of getting
back one of his hard sinashes. At

deadly getting over high lobs. A gall
lery quickly knows that point is
about to be made when it sees the
dashing westerner poising for one of
his spectacular lob smashes. The
American star is absolutely confident
of his ability to smash shots from any
position and his aggressive style has

GRANDE AND BERG
To MEET FRIDAY
Feature of Attractive Card
to Be Presented at the
Pavilion

The card which Promoter Milt Welt
ner Of the Crescent club will stage at
Pavilion rink next Friday night is an
attractive one. The main event should
appeal to the fans. as it brings to-
gether two middle weights who are
forging their way to the front. and the
victor will find it very easy matter
to secure some attractive matches in
this section.
Sailor Charley Grande and Otto Berg
OF the northwest are the pair who head
Weitner's card
Grande has been fighting in great
form of late, and his frequent knock
outs OF aspiring middle weights have
brought him into prominence He is
one of the most willing performers in
his division and any time he starts the
fans can count on him to put up a
hurricane scrap.
Berg has been boxing in this section
for the last couple of years and has
been consistent winner. In fact he
has never lost decision. He is a
rangy fellow who is fast and clever
He should prove very worthy oppo-
nent for Grande
The boxers have agreed to. make 100
pounds for their coming enga cement.
Lee Johnson. the colored 128 FOUNDER
OF Oakland, wiz try his hand against
Harry Baker. one Of the cleverest boys
of his weight.
Baker was regarded as a possible
feather weight champion a couple of
years ago. He is extremely clever.
while Johnson is also very fast The
bout promises to be very scientific

Young Abe Attell of Denver and Kid
Exposito, pair of hustling 12S pound
ers, are down on the cards for four

ing some excellent scrapping and their
coming meeting promises to be a whirl-
wind bout
Young Henry Hickey of Oakland and
Carl Goubatz will meet in a return
bout The boys clashed couple of
months ago and Goubatz was given the
decision after a hard battle
Several new faces will appear in the
ring during the evening. Sailor Wilson

British Press Comment

LONDON, July Accommodating on
the outcome of the Davis cup tennis
matches. the morning newspapers give
the fullest credit to the Americans for
a thoroughly deserved victory and to
Maurice E. Mclaughlin for his splendid
play They then draw the moral that
if Great Britain desires to hold her own
in sports she must call youth to her aid
The Standard says McLoughlin's de-
feat of Charles p. Dixon was a triumph
of enthusiasm. stamina and activity of
youth over experience and the skill Of
middle age.
The Daily Telegraph, confessing that
it was only through Ireland's help that
England won the cup at Melbourne
draws consolation from the fact that
Mclaughlin, OF Irish stock. achieved the
victory for the United States
The Daily Express adopts a despond-
ent tone. saying:
athletic contests are symptoms of
national health and grit. and the
monotony of British defeat grows de-
pressing We do not begrudge the vic
tory
The Daily Chronicle says McLough-
lins sudden adven into tennis has been
8 S sensational as anything in the his
tory of sport and that if he maintains
his form 1t may be hard to dislodge the
United States for the championship for
years.
The Daily Mail laments that England
ws beaten at her own game saving:
1T is CALLING to think that our cham
pions might and should have won. but
that in the prolonged struggle they
were worn down by the skill and
strength of gifted youth"
The San Francisco call., 1913-07-29

HE accompanying diagram shows
three of the champions most
successful strokes-plays that
have made the % year old Califor-
MIA star the wonder of the tennis
world:
No. 1.-The McLouglin serve-the
fastest in the world To make this
shot the young Californian rears high
on his left foot and puts every ounce
of his strength into the drive. The
ball crosses the net with terrific ve
locity. Striking the opposite court
near the side line 1t takes q sudden
hop and bounds high over the re-
ceiver's head Mclaughlin serves his
second ball as speedy as the first. and
so wonderful is his control that he
seldom makes a double fault. Play
ers of many countries say that the
Americans serves are the fastest ever
known and that they come over the
net with such frightful speed that 1t
Is often impossible to return them
safely.
No. 2.-McLoughlin's reverse serve is
one he doesn't often use. but it's a
sure point winner whenever at
tempted This service has a curve and
bend that would make Mathewson

Cross and Baldwin Ready

LOS ANGELES. Cal. July 2s.-Botb
Mattv Baldwin and Leach Cross put on
the finishing touches today for their
bout tomorrow at the Vernon arena.
Each boxer was said to be within
easy reach of the weight line
Speculation on the fight failed to
produce varying odds Cross usually
has fought short bouts. Baldwin, how
ever. has a long record Of 20 round
matches to his credit.
This has led the spectators to pre-
diet that Baldwin would excel after
the tenth round.

own service when Williams netted one
ball and drove out three returns.
Williams played Indifferent tennis
in the last set. He allowed Parlxe to
take four straight games and then
won two himself. but he seemed un-
able again to get into his stride.
Parke was not in such good form
as during his match on Friday against
Mclaughlin. but he played steadily,
allowing Williams TO make the mis-
takes.
