SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, July IL.
If 1t is difficult to allure the fans
TO baseball game in Honolulu, it is
not so at Schofield. where baseball
seems to be taking on a new interest
in spite of the hundreds of games
played almost daily since last January.
More than 1000 turned out to see the
All-Army stack up against the 25th
Infantry Saturday afternoon, and the
town team was backed up by the
cheering of several hundred of the
Schofield FANS
Though the 25th outbatted the Wis
itors they did not play their usual
smooth game in the field and contrib
uted freely to the error column and to
their opponents scores. On the other
hand the All-Army team played a
beautiful game in the field, but could
do very little with ]. Johnson's deliv-
cry. Sauer, catching for the All-Army,
disguised the fans by not making any
attempt to pull down some easy foul
flies. With a man on second and one
on third he stood by and watched one
drop not more than Is feet behind
him. Sauer redeemed. himself more
or less by some good batting, getting
two hits in three times up, and driy-
ing one between center and left in the
fifth inning for clean home run.
The All-Army will play the 25th In
fantry again next Sunday on the post
diamond, and will take on the LIST
Infantry next Saturday afternoon.

the shoulder he holds uppermost in
swimming, until the mouth is above
the surface, take a deep breath and
face down once more to again empty
the lungs underwater, continuing the
same process at intervals.
This identical exercise may be TAX
en- while stretched out fat on the wa
ter, either supported by floating de-
vice or hanging on to something, and
not a few instructors also recommend
pushing off face down from the side
of pool and exhaling the while, then
twisting the head, as told, to breathe
deeply.
These methods will be found excel.
lent, but should facilities for employ.
ing them not be at ones disposal 1t
is possible to obtain the wanted re-
suits by going through the respiratory
action at home in washing bowl.
The object is simply to get used to
taking breath above the surface. and
exhaling under water.
When this Is accomplished the can
didate is ready to bury the face and
assume the position required by the
modern strokes nearly horizontal,
with shoulders a little higher than
feet, but whole body forming a
straight line, as in standing erect on
tiptoe.
The arm movements of the trud-
geon should vary slightly in accord
ance with the characteristics Of the
individual on such points as length
of reach and extension Of arms in
driving. All strain on the muscles
must be avoided, so it will be obvious
that while a swimmer with supple
shoulders and timber joints may seek
long reach and drive with straight
arm, another whose shoulders and
joints are sitter, less free, will do
better by shortening the stroke and
carrying the elbow comfortably bent
in pulling.
The leg drive used with the trud-
geon is called a scissor kick and CON
sists of slow opening of the legs
front and back, as in walking, not
lateral-and a quick, vigorous closing
of them. The top leg is brought
forward little, almost straight, and
toes pointing back, the under leg is
bent nearly. to kneeling position, but
not quite; then the two are snapped
together so that knees and feet brush.
The kick is introduced at the end OF
the top arm driYe-that is, the legs
float apart, relaxed, as this arm is
about to complete its pull, and whip
together just as it finishes at the
thigh.
Common mistakes in performing
the scissor kick are opening the legs
too wide, drawing up the thighs in re
covering; separating the knees later
ally, and making the negative move
ments swiftly.
If the opening of the scissor is ex-
cessiye or the thighs are drawn up in
recovering rather large resisting
surface is presented to the water, and
this offsets the benefit derived from
the drive, so that part of the applied
energy goes for naught. Separating
the knees sideways also makes the
kick less effective, because the for
ward shoot is obtained from the pres
sure of the legs upon the wedge of
water between them. and If they don't
close near enough the two forces fail
to combine, and the resulting impetus
is greatly reduced. In opening the
legs too rapidly a check is placed on
the body. for the movement is one OF
resistance
In swimming the trudgeon-or any
stroke for the matter of that-one
should aim at keeping the entire body

Gossett beat 1t for first, while Gran

copyright, 1915. by American Press

Association.
In the. first article of this series it
was shown how the nonswimmer
could best master the rudiments OF
workmanship through the side stroke
or the elementary crawl, and time has
now come for him to select one of
the advanced free style types and
learn it.
He has the choice of the trudgeon,
crawl and trudgeon-crawl, and we will
speak today of the first named, leav-
ing the other two for later treatment
Broadly speaking, the trudgeon is a
double overarm stroke with a single
kick to each complete drive of the
two arms. Many advocate it for long
distance swimming, and there is no
doubt that it win prove eminently
satisfactory for all around use, wheth-
er in competition or in pleasure bath
ing.
It is restful, yet speedy: The swim
mer lies at ease on the water, with
out the least strain on any part of his
body, the movements of arms and
legs require very little exertion, and
practically no resistance is offered in
recovery, so that every ounce of ex-
pended energy is fully utilized.
Probably the best proof which car
be adduced of the value of the trudg-
con is the work done by its devotees
in tests of aquatic endurance Charles
Durborow of Philadelphia used it in
crossing Delaware bay in 1912, when
he established the obtaining American
long distance record of 1874 miles in
IA hours Is minutes, across tide. a
performance equal to the English
channel swim both in length and in
difficulty of course. Alfred Brown of
New York, our national professional
swimming champion, who was the
first to reach Sandy Hook from the
Battery, in New York bay, and to
span the Panama canal, also showed
it from start to finish in these feats;
and SO did George Meehan, the Bos-
ton amateur, in creating last summer
a new record of z hours Is minutes
for the Battery to Sandy Hook route.
One need hardly point out that a
stroke which enables its opponents to
swim fast and continuously for so
many hours without i'll effect. may be
adopted confidently for every day pur-
poses even by people of middle age
and children.
For the rest the trudgeon is more
easy to learn than the awkward and
complicated breast stroke, provided
the proper preliminary course is.fol-
lowed. 1t will come quite naturally to
those who have been taught to swim
by means of the side stroke or ele-
mentary crawl, for the action is very
similar.
The first care in approaching the
trudgeon should be to learn how to
breathe for it. The balance of the
body depends largely upon knowing
how and when to inhale and exhale,
and without balance good swimming
is impossible.
The correct way to breathe in using
the trudgeon is to inhale through the
mouth during the drive of the top arm
and exhale underwater while the
same arm RECEIVERS, preferably
through the nostrils.
There are several exercises by
which this artificial mode of respira.
ton may be practised and acquired.
For instance, the pupil can stand on
bottom in waist deep water, lean over
until his face is submerged, expel the
air from his lungs through the nose,
then twist mot lift the head toward
