Mothers Club of Wind
SOr Dedicates Fine
Advantage

The swimming pool. where in
structors Will hencefortb teach to
the boys and girls OF Windsor. par.
ticularly the girls. the essential art
OF swimming. was thrown open TO
the public. Wednesday evening. with
appropriate ceremony and recogni-
tscn. Over a thousand people were
present to signify their approval Of
the undertaking and to listen TO the
program OF speechmaking.
The swimming pool Is the result OF
three years OF constant endeavor on
the part OF the Mothers clubs of
Windsor. Mrs. J. w. Yeardsley and
Mrs. Little have been particularly
active In pushing the project. Mrs.
Yeardsley says that the mothers
long realized that there was no
place adequately free from danger
where swimming might be learned.
II was to meet this view that the
long effort on the part OF the Moth.
ers' clubs to secure swimming pool
was launched and continued.
Time after time the project was
suggested to the city government
but not much was accomplished un-
til fairly recently. Mayor Jackson.
ever since the project was proposed
to him, has been an enthusiastic sup
porter Of the idea. However. not
much progress was made until the
place along the river. on Sandwich
St west, where the pool has been
established, was found. The loca.
ton was under the control Of the
Michigan Central railroad. but the
local agent was able TO secure
use Of the pools location. for the
women. and the park department
undertook the care of the place. II
Was In this WY that the pool was
m ade possible.
At the dedicatory exercises Wed.
nesday evening Mrs.. Dromgoie. the
wife Of Judge Dromgole. delivered
the address In behalf Of the Moth
err club to the officials Of the city
Judge Dromsole and others also
spoke. Mayor Jackson was out Of
the city and he was represented BY
Park Commissioner LAnsbury.

CATCHING WELL
FOR new ! YORK

The acquisition of. Charlie Doom by
the Giants seems to have pushed Chief
John Henry Meyers of the map. Doc
in has been placed as the regular
backstop, with Meyers and Wendell
as subs. Charlie is happy. 1t was his
ambition to getza lob with the Giants.
For IL years he scampered around,
many of them as manager Of the Phila-
delphia club, then went to Cincinnati.
His transfer to Cincinnati came as q
relief. He was anxious to get away
from Philadelphia. Then Cincinnati
is Charles 'told home burg" and he
was welcomed with open arms Still,
deep down in his Wishing well, Doom
was enyying every player on the New
York club.
When Herzog told Doom that he had
been sold to the Giants, Charlie i'm
mediately executed little war dance.
The ambition was realized. That it
has had the effect of bringing the red
headed catcher into real action has
been shown since MS Joining the club.
He assumes full charge Of the heav-
ers in practise, confers with McGraw
on what hurler to use, keeps Meyers
hustltng to warm up the undsmen
before each game and is more active
In hustling and looking after the inter
ests Of the team than McGraw. Jawn
has long needed just such fellow as
Doom. Charlie is through with mana
gerial worries, but likes to be consid-
cred as a chief assistant"
The passing of Meyers, however, is
but another star fading. The Indian
was never fast as a base-runner, but
clever behind the plate
and quickly picked out the flaws of an
opposing batter. OF late he has gone
back He has failed to show the nee
essary ginger. His hitting, once
great feature, has fallen down to low
mark. 1t looks like Meyers is through
as a regular. Doom, although a vet
eran, and probably older than Meyers
in years and experience, has several
years ahead of him as q regular from
present indications. Charlie is very
egOtistical, but it seems to get him
through a lot of situations where
more timid fellow would fail.
