CRAWL STROKE
THE FASTEST YET
Invented by South Sea islanders, j
Claim.

THE crawl stroke is undoubtedly
the fastest method Of human propul-
sion through the water that has so far
been devised" says Duke Kahana-
moku, the worlds champion swimmer.
The Anstrainians have been credited
with inventing 1t. That they got the
ideas from the South Sea Islands is
now practically assured.
MY own crawl stroke differs in sew
eral ways from the Austrafnfan crawl
the main differences being in the posi-
ton of my legs, the working of the
feet and the cupping Of my hands. Ny
driving or pulling powers are from my
shoulders. The leg action helps keep
the body on the surface Of the water,
ard II also tends toward the mainte-
nance of speed. My contention is that
with the continuity of the leg action,
instead Of the slight pause that f. ap-
parent in the Austrainian crawl, the
body Is kept on the top Of the water
and In position for continuous mo-
ton"

Philadelphia Defeats St. Louis.

Philadelphia, Aug. S0.-A freak
home run drive by Whitfield with one
man out in the tenth inning gave
philadelphia victory over st. Louis
today to 5. Whitted's drive struck
the bleacher wall, bounded against
BescherS chest and caromed into the

the third inning by hitting Alexan-
ders delivery hard. The latter was
taken out in the seventh for a pinch

sion Philadelphia staged a rally and
TOOK the lead. Manager Higgins pro-
tested that Bancroft interfered with
him on an attempt for a double play
during the rally and made his protest
so vigorously that he was sent OF the

WHY YOUNG PLAYERS FAIL.
Nervousness In 5is Company Sends
Many Recruits Back Co Minors.

The greatest enemy Of the young
ball player il nervousness, according
to the Sc. Louis Globe Democrat. Many
a youngster of promise coming up
from the minors ruins his chances by
aeroplaning when he finds himself
lined up against players of experience
and reputation. sSH
lie is likely to play far below his
normal speed, and the impression pro-
dueed on his manager is faulty. He
may not have a chance to become FULLY
accustomed to his surroundings or to
get over his nervousness before he is
railroaded back to the bushes,
The best way for a player to succeed
is to Try to forget that he is up in the
big show and put his whole mind on
the huge stands and the big crowd and
Just remember that he is playing
game of ball and trying to do his part
toward winning it he will surely sue
coed IL he has the ability. The player
who is doing everything in his power
to win the bali game is the lad who
catches the eye of the foxy manager.
Ono serious fault with many young
players Is that they think too much of
their base hits. This is natural fault,
tor every player old or young, likes to
wailop the ball to some far territory,
but the real manager is looking beyond
that. He sees the fellow who can hit
with no one on and two out and does
not care for his style. On the other
hand. the man who has the nerve to
come up with the smash in the pinch
Is the man who is retained, even If his
batting average is many points below
that of the other fellow.

DOINGS IN THE AUTO WORLD
Fifty Dollar Rebate Coming to Ford Prchasers-Big De-
mand for High Grade Cars-From San Francisco to
Boston in Eighteen Days by Motorcycle.

Owners of Ford automobiles in the
four counties in this state controlled
by the Elmer Automobile company
are in an eXpectant mood and likely
to be for a while, or until that $50
rebate is returned. Eleven hundred
Ford automobiles were sold by the
Elmer Automobile company in four
counties of the state during the 1915
season.
Regarding the rebate of $50 per car
l. H. Elmer, of the Elmer Automo-
bile company. said: The plan de-
vised by the Ford company provides
for the payment Of the rebates in
chronological order, that is, the first
purchaser of a 1915 car, a women in
Texas, will be the first to receive the
check. 1t follows that a big task con-
fronts the company, so big, in fact,
that few people stop to consider it.
II required FIVE weeks to sign the
30S,2I3 individual checks, the total OF
which was $15,410.650. The cost of
the postage alone wis S6,164-26-
Months were spent in perfection of the
plan of distribution. The checks are
all numbered in accordance with the
purchase Of the cars, for instance,
purchasers order was, $40 the check
would bear the same number The
checks came in sheets of five, and by
a special device all were signed at
the same time, a boy being handy to
blot them. Ten thousand checks a
day was the rate Special envelopes
were used. 1t will take about two
weeks to mail all the checks We
have had many inquiries regarding
the rebates, and within short time
everyone in our territory will have
received his or her rebate. And, Of
course, every one is happy in the
prospect of this half-century return"

The automobile buyer Of today IS a
far different proposition than he was
four years ago. 1t is a fact that per-
sons buying cars now invariably know
exactly what they want long before
they approach a dealer and naturally
selling automobiles has become very
much different business in the last
fe wyears. In the early days OF the
automobile industry few sales ap-
preached the check book stage until
the prosl ective buyer had been given
a ride and had been laboriously
shown that the car would really rum
These demonstrations were often
long, systematic affairs and included
comparative showing OF different cars.
buying an automobile in these days
was an undertaking in which pur-
chaser and salesman devoted a great
deal of time and thought.
In more recent years the demon
stration has played a, steadily less
important part The reason is simple.
Motor cars of today-that is cars
which have established themselves
through service-do not have to be
introduced to the buyers. Such cars
are known and the prospective pur-
chaser is aware Of what he Is buying
long before he enters the auto sales
room. Patrons do not have to worry
about the cars made by old establish
ed companies. Stability must be their
keynote or they wouldn't be in busf-
ness now, with so many new COM
panies branching out.
Norwich bulletin., 1915-08-31

The demand for cars Of the high
est grade and very best workmanship
Is a great factor in the business to-
day, according to agents for the high
err priced cars on the automobile field.
Expensive cars by the trainload have
been ordered by New England dealers
and their calls have been for special
bodies in numerous instances. Prep
arations for the coming winter are
already being made by motorists of the
larger Eastern cities who are placing
their orders for cars at the present
time. Bodies wanted are of the very
highest grade and most expensive
sort, II the conssnsenses Of he deal
ers and some limousine bodies that
ordered are the superior Of anything
ever turned out. But what concerns
US more at the present time is the
demand for touring cars for the sum-
mer and for roadSters, and that de-
mand apparently shows no signs Of
letting up. The people want real good
cars, cars that are just as good as
money can buy, no matter what the
amount"
