ROSE P|TONOF N
BIGGEST WATER
RACE IN HISTORY
Arranges Amazing Match With
Harry EIionsky To Be Held
Off Boston in June.
By Tad
~ OSTON, Jan 31.-Rose Pitonof,
n Bostop's champion girl swim
mer of the world. will meet

~ OSTON, Jan. 31.-Rose Pitonof,
n Boston's champion girl swim
mer of the world, will meet
Harry Elionsky, of New London, IN
what is likely to be the greatest en-
durance swim on record in June next
in Boston Harbor
Miss Pitonofs father, Ell Pitonof,
has deposited with the sporting ed-
tor OF Hearst's Boston American
check for $50, covering similar for
felt made on behalf of Elionsky, who
had previously accepted Miss Pito-
nofs challenge to the world for such
a race
Under the terms made by Pitonof,
each of the contestants must deposit
$3.50 more at least ten days before
the date of the race. The contest will
therefore be a $500 match affair-a
$1,000 match. The date of the race
will be fixed before June l.
The terms call for battle to fin
ish-such swimming contest as was
never held before in the world
The contestants must swim back
and forth between Charlestown
bridge and Boston Light until one or
the other is forced to quit.
w HEN one gives up the other-if he
w or she goes as far as the one who
surrenders has gone-will become The
champion and will win the money,
To swim from Charlestown bridge
to Boston Light once is an amazing
water stunt Few have done it, To
go to the Light, turn buoy and re-
turn has been considered well-ngh
impossible feat. To continue further
over the same course seems super
human. If it can be done, 1t seems
likely that Miss Rose Pitonof and
Harry Elionsky are among the few
who can do It.
1t will be test Of sheer endurance
The last one out OF the water Is 70
win, under the conditions described
above.
THESE are the arrangements made
by Miss Pitonofs father, and are
of course, subject to acceptance in
detail by Elionsky. Originally Pit
onof, whose daughter is considered
the champion woman swimmer OF the
world, issued a challenge ard offere !

Of BALL CLUBS
Scout Arthur Irwin Makes Good
Suestion to Help Out the
Weaker Teams,
Bv Frank G.. Menke.
TqE suggestion made by Arthur
Irwin. former big Lacquer. and

INqE suggestion made by Arthur
Irwin former big Lacquer. and
now a baseball scout. relative
10 limiting the number Of players
that a club reserve each season IL
one OF the best that has edged It's way
within the glare OF the sporting spot
light for many a moon.
Twins suggestion. however. can
not be taken as II stands. II would
work too great an injury to base
hall teams He would limit the num-
Der OF players that each club could
reserve each season to seven. or nine.
This number, It may readily be seen.
is entirely too small, as a team left
with only seven or nine of its play
ers would have to rebuild entirely.
II the limit were set at fifteen the
plan would work out wonderfully
Fifteen men would leave the infield
and outfield intact and allow the
team to retain seven battery members
surely a sufficient number with
which to operate when bolstered up
by the recruits.
I UNITING r. teams reserve list to
- fifteen, II would mean that many
players, of no value TO one team eX-
obtained by a club that has need for
their regular services. The case of
the Philadelphia Athletics IS a sample.
Connie Mack has some mighty good
substitute nfielders-players that
would make their mark II they could
play regularly-yet they have no
chance to supplant either McInnis,
Baker, Collins or Barry
IL Comics substitutes were placed
on the market they would be grabbed
up speedily by clubs that have weak
infields. and in this way the clubs
fielding strength would he increased
and the PLAYER would be given a
chance to show his real worth and
make himself valuable enough to
earn more money than he now does
rs substitute
Such scheme, it seems, would
tighten up the league races and
make baseball a better paying prop
osition all around Practically
every one of the first division teams
to-day carries a secondary defense
that is far better than the first de-
Tense Of the tail-end clubs.
The same Is true concerning the
pitching stats II the fifteen players
reserve rule were In effect II would
mean that many of the first division
thR0 Nbnih nave ~ itt ANtll HtAQilAi
string pitchers so to some one of
the other clubs not so well fortified.
THE league could appoint a com
mittee of magnates 30 set a
valuation on every player that
was not included in the reserve list.
Each club that wanted n particular
player could put In a request for him.
II more than one club wanted a
player, lots could he drawn under the
same system as during the drafting
season
In case no major league made a
bid for the player who was on the
market then the class IA teams
would be permitted TO bid for him
II they made none. the class A teams
would be given a chance, and so on
down the list The minor league
clubs, as well as the major league, il
VIII he seen, would benefit by this
plan.
