devoted to a special reunion of those
who took the Scottish Rite degrees in
this city from 1888 to 1898. A banquet
Will be served and quite a series Of
toasts presented. Already some thirty
of these have announced that they
would be here on this occasion. OF
the members joining during the period
mentioned thirty-nine are known to
be dead, and the whereabouts of six
teen of the rest arc now unknown; but
those alive reside in twelve different
states, and two foreign countries-Dr.
Wear being in Italy and DR.. Spauld-
ing in France. A very interesting time
is expected on this occasion.

When anglers brother anglers greet
With yarns about the catch.
When loud from every plot of green

The future baseball star.

"Hecks" Awful Threat
Will Move His Team

York is again shaky over the pros
poets of losing league baseball games.
Heckert is sore over the feeling against
him. The York Dispatch says: w..
That the financial condition of the
York Tri-State league club is such
that unless aid is given it within the
next week, steps will be taken to
transfer the franchise to another city,
was the announcement made by Man
ager Heckert, principal stockholder,
following a special meeting of the di-
rectors held in the Colonial hotel
building last night. The meeting was
called for the purpose of finding out
the financial status of the team and
the report made by Secretary Guy
Morrow showed the club to be with
out money to pay off the players for
their services up until the past Mon
day.
''The slim attendance at games at
the West End park, has wiped away
the reserve fund secured before the
opening through the sale of season
books and by other means, and the
hackers of the club, including the Ii
rectors have refused 10 put any moro
of their money into the venture 1t is
believed that if enough money is Sc
cured to tide the club over several
more weeks, the attendance will begin
to pick up and the Grub will be en-
abled to finish the season here. An
other meeting will be held tomorrow
night, at which time the question of
whether the transfer is to be made or
not, will be decided upon"

BREAST STROKE BEST FOR
AII-AROJTND SWIMMING

The breast stroke, with its possi-
bilities, is being overlooked in the
striving after speed and easy meth
DDS of acquiring the art of swimming
1t is a method of propulsion which has
been developed to its greatest posi-
bilities as to form by few swimmers.
In recent article on swimming
and in other older descriptions tht
breast stroke has been described as
half standing, half lying in the wa
ter on the stomach and breast APP
plication of new principles evolved
from the recently developed strokes
will give better results. For instance.
there is a great deal of. wasted energy
in pushing upward instead of forward
If the position usually described is
taken. And, again, too much resist
ance for rapid or easy progress is of
fered by the water.
A point in favor of the breast stroke
is that the period when the arms and
legs are not in motion is greatly In
excess of the period of motion. If
the stroke is mastered properly the
body is gliding from six to seven feet
after each stroke and no exertion is
made at this time. For long dis
tances, for ease and comfort, it can
be made to have no rival except pos
5ibly the back stroke. But it can be
used in a choppy or rough sea or in
the surf to better advantage than the
back stroke.-July Outing.
