one of these swfrns Elionsky will carry two men on his back, and in the other he will tow a boat containing twenty five men. From these two events it would appear as if the big blond thatch- ed "amphibian" is Jealous of the little tugboats.
 Another event of the same character on his list is swim through Hell Gate, the most treacherous stretch of water around New York because of tides and rocks which abound there. On this swim Henry will have the free use of his arms and legs. but he will reed them, for he will have handicap enough in three men. who will be se- curely strapped to his back
 Two other swinas that will put his endurance to severe tests will be a forty mile swim .shaclxled, and a swim from Charlestown to Boston light, also shack1ed The latter swim is about the shortest on his program, but it Is far from being the easiest.

Golfer Hagen a Man of Might

TOM M'NAMARA. the professional.
 says that ssWalter Hagen has a tre-. rueudous advantage over the majority @f golfers. Ii. is a well known fact that Hagen is one of the strongest men physically playing the game of golf. He Aasza 2 grip ef Irons an the grips he AsI& on ef1le end of 2ais clubs are very coarse It is we'll nigh impossible for his clubs to slip in his hands, so that where most of us are worried Hagen is as happy as lark. When one begins to anticipate trouble 1t is pretty sure 10 come. Then again, the fact cannot be overlooked that under ordinary con- dftions Hagen is a great golfer, but give him g drenching rain in a tour- nament game and it's dollars to dough- nuts that the former champion will land the big end Of the coin
 You might wonder why the other professionals do not use the club grips that Hagen does. but an ordinary nor faPs hands would be torn and cut to such an extent after trying them that he would be compelled to give up the game to have his hands treated. and the consequent inactivity would fall heavily on the finances of the profess sionaI know what am talking about because have tried the grips that Hagen has on his clubs, and dropped them quickly for the afore- mentioned reasons.

Not long ago Tommy Kerrigan and myself grabbed Hagen's right forearm while he was seated in chair. the two of us using both hands and putting on all the pressure we possibly could. Tommy Kerrigan is one of the strongest little fellows in Bosten, but without rising from the chair Hagen threw us off as though we were a couple Of flies. and 1a the process of breaking our grips on his arm Hagen nearly sent me out of an open window. which was a couple nR stories from the ground.

HOW THE WAR HITS POLO.

TNHE effect of the war on polo in Eng
 land is described in an article pub lished in resent issue of the Field and English Sportsman. The paper says: .sPolo is the recreation that suffers most from the war. The military element. is strong in polo circles, and every officer is now on duty somewhere or other. with other things to occupy his atten- ton than polo stick and ball.
 That the game Is an excellent one for the cavalry officers, in that it aids them to become good horsemen and ac- quire the dash necessary for a leader of mounted men. has been made appar- ent by the course of the war. The names of many expert players have ap- peared in the casualty lists. and most of the polo players 1t for service are with the colors.''
 This means that little polo will be played this season. although efforts are being made to keep grounds open for the benefit of officers in training. At these few matches wounded soldiers will have all the privilege of club mem bers.

 He has taken part in scores of races, and while he has not won any great number of these events. still he has never been forced to quit and has never trailed far behind.
 This season he will not take part in any races except against time and will pay most of his attention to exhibi- ton swirns. mainly of the freak va riety.
 Following is a list of the swims he has on his schedule for the present season:

Later he will swim from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. to Steeplechase park, Coney Island. a distance of five miles. in a straitjacket and with fifteen feet of chain on his legs. In this event EIion- sky will be forced to depend solely on his feet to make the swim. His lungs will also be put to a severe test, for. with his hands tied and the chains on his legs, he will be under the wa ter most of the time and Cannot come up for breathing spell only every thirty seconds-a task that would al- most tax the lungs of "a whale
 All of the above mentioned events Henry calls appetizers for the pieces de resistance of his program. These are 119 mile swim, from Albany to New York city, which will necessitate his staying in the water from twenty eight to thirtyzsix hours and a swim through Niagara rapids.

SHUTDOWN ON WARTIME SALARIES.

PI.AYERS who are drawing wartime
 salaries must deliver. That is vir- tually the edict of organized baseball and the chances are that it will have the effect of awakening a lot of sth- letes who, thinking that their salaries are assured for 8 number of years have been taking things decidedly aasys thereby in5uring the game and not earning their pay.
 It is now up to these players to get a move on or drastic action will be taken which will virtually end their careers The trouble with beseosh under existing conditions is that the players are getting 1t all and the club owners very little. If the players would make a special effort to produce a high grade article of ball interest might be increased and the clubs would be able 10 pay ths players as-s per contract.
 which in many instances nowadays is impossible for the reason that the play CTS are not delivering as they should, and as a result the attendance hns asse tered.

 He has swum on various occasions ten to thirty miles with hands and feet shAckled and several times he added to this handicap by carrying passengers on his back or by hauling boats with from ten to twenty five passengers.

 EHonskys is open to meet any man in the world in races from twenty five miles up to a hundred over any course.

 It is not at all unlikely that by the time he reaches his tWenty-dfth year he will have lowered every long dis tance record of any account, and be- sides he VIII have set up a few of the freak variety which will stand for many years. He will do all lof tllis, no doubt. if he does not attempt the rapids swim. If he does attempt it he will probably never reach ths quarter century mark.

from Secretary Lansing's talk with
Ambassador Bernstorff, 1t was be-
lieved the German-American situa-
ton was about to improve.
If Germany, disregarding Americas
protests, was again attacking mer-
chantmen with citizens of the United
States among her passengers, with
out giving those on board chance
to save their lives, it was admitted
the outlook had darkened again.
Officials agreed that the Orduna
case promised to result in no contro-
yersy since the vessel escaped and
no lives were lost, but this did not af-
feet the merits of the main discus
sion. It had been hoped that what
ever might be its attitude in principle
toward the American contention.
Germany meant, in practice, to re-
spect American wishes.
The Orduna incident Il It happened
as reported, indicated that neither in
principle nor practice was there to
be any German concession.
