from pitching in that groove. he felt satisfied he could again hold his own in fast company and consequently in formed Cincinnati he was ready for duty again.
 Cincinnati, however, was in the midst of big deal with Philadelphia and in- cluded Fred in that trade. He report ed to Philadelphia and won five and lost three games. When Red Dooin had the misfortune to break one of his legs Dooin decided he needed a real catcher right away. He also decided that Killifer of Buffalo was the catcher he wanted. But Buffalo would not give killifer up without getting a good pitcher in exchange, so Dooin was forced to let Beebe go. [, It was easy to get waivers on him, for the other Ma tional league owners were of the opin- ion he was through.
 Fred served four years for Buffalo, winning seventy-six and losing forty one games, coming through with twen- ty-seven victories during the 1915 cam- paign. Of course he could have re- mained in Buffalo until he actually was through, but Pat Donovan did not see his way clear to meet his salary de- mands, and that is how Cleveland was allowed to dicker with him.
 Fred always has been more or less, principally more, of strikeout pitch CT, his banner performance being given his first year as a professional hurler, when, after serving for three years in the semipro ranks, he joined Oshkosh of the Wisconsin league and won twen- ty-seven games and lost but seven, striking out 291 batters.

Theory In Playing Golf

THE game of golf is incrusted with
 large masses of theory and suppo- sition expounded by all classes of play CTS. In the locker room of any club may be heard remarks of this sort: 'Tm going out today and endeavor to play my iron shots with the push Chick Evans uses. Don't you think. Jack, I'd putt straighter off my right foot than off my left?"
 These prospective changes are all very good and show a disposition to improve the players game. but in a great many cases they seem to prove a hindrance rather than a help. One common fallacy Is that the right foot being raised on the upstroke is a sep- arate part of the swing. It is a com ponent part of the stroke and should not be forced movement. It should be automatic and coincident with the turning of the shoulders. Of course. we are speaking of right handed play CTS. In the southpaw's case the posi- tions are reversed.
 Another bit of theoretical guesswork Is concerned with the attempts made by some players to introduce a hook into their long game. A hook is a very fine thing if it can be controlled. but 1t is one of the most difficult of shots to keep in subjection. After attaining it with the wooden clubs 1t is liable to spread to the irons, and naturally the player is frequently or the iine and, in in any event. finds 1t hard to put .

Foul Strike Rule Not Clearly
 Understood by All Baseball Fans

Iris so rare for a batter to be called
 out on foul strike that many players, as well as fans. do not under stand the meaning of the term. A foul strike Is neither foul nor a strike. which makes the expression somewhat confusing. A foul strike is committed when batter hits a fair ball while outside the lines drawn for the bats man. All fans have noticed the paral- kilograms; .on each side of the homo plate. which are usually called batter's boxes. They are distinctly visible at the start of every game, though the lines are usually erased by the pres- sure of many ample hoofs before the contest has proceeded to any great length.
 These boxes are six feet long and four feet wide, and there is one on each side of the plate, one for right hand hitters and the other for the left hand sluggers. The side line of the batter's box is six inches from the plate. which prevents a batter from

idea could be impressed wildly upon all of them." t
 Corsan recently in his classroom cre- ated a laugh by stating that man or woman could take a most valuable les- son in learning how to swim by using a small washbasin. At each lesson he. has his pupils line up before him neck deep in the 100 foot tank and makes all of them go through a drill of inhah ing through the mouth. taking in large gulps of air. closing the jaws quickly and then, by bending at the knees. sink the head quickly about a foot below the surface and there exhale slowly through the nose until the lungs are empty. The pupils then rise to the surface and repeat the exercise doz- en times or more. This drill is called making the bubbles rise." MT. Corsan declares that this exercise is splendid even for experienced swimmers.

Willard. are only a few men, like Carl Morris. Fred Fulton and Frank Moran Dillon appears to have beaten the best of these pretenders, SO that, except Jess Willard. he really may have a look in.
 However. don't overlook Carl Morris. who recently stopped Dan Daily, an- other 24o pounder. in punch. Morris is big behemoth of gigantic size. strength and unlimited gameness. He might wear down q smaller man, de- spite punishment, and outlast him.
 Undoubtedly, however. Dillon is in a position to demand consideration as a worlds title prospect, despite his size, Until he is beaten by Willard or some other "big un" he must be reckoned with.
 However. it must be admitted the majority of fight fans figure him in re- lation to Willard as they might a fleld gun to sixteen inch howitzer-out of his class.

crowding the plate too closely. To bat legally the hitter must be in his box when he hits the ball.
 This rule Is to prevent him from running up into the diamond on the one side or from stepping back so far as to interfere with the catcher on the other. No ball can be legally hit un- less the batter is in his box when he meets the ball with his bat. He has a range of six feet forward and back and of four feet the other way, which gives him ample room to move around and take any position he cares to assume. He commits a foul strike if he rushes out of his box to hit the ball when it is pitched up to him.
 The penalty for the action is to be called out. It so seldom occurs, how ever, that many fans have never seen an out recorded under this rule. When a batter is called out for making a foul strike the catcher is given credit for tho put out the same as if he had struck out in the usual way.

CLARK GRIFFITH'S THEORY
 IS PROVED BY BEEBE

A GOOD many years ago Clark Grif- filth, then actively engaged in pitching, remarked: "A pitcher never knows anything until his arm goes to the bad. Then he has to make his head do what formerly has been accomplish ed by his muscles.''
 Griffith never spoke truer words" :" says Fred Beebe, Clevelands famous hurler. "In fact, am a liy- ting example of the truth of his state ment"
 ! At the end of the 1910 campaign Fred told his employers who were the owners of the Cincinnati Nationals. that he was through with baseball. that he ruined his arm by pitching curve balls and he would be obtaining money under false pretences if he continued to draw big league salary. So he just up and quit the national pastime.
 He retired to his farm, being under the impression that his pitching days were over. But somehow or other the national pastime kept whispering to him, and he finally gave his arm an- other trial the following spring. To his surprise, and also greatly to his satisfaction, he discovered that, while he could not throw his famous old roundhouse curve, he could throw an- other sort of a looper that puzzled the batters he tried it on.
 He also found that by slowing away in his brain a bunch of notes in refer ence to the batters he faced he was able to fool them by pitching them the shoots they did not want. Ever keep ing in mind each batter's groove and perfecting his control so as to refrain

pionship requirements. Eitzsimmons. who fought most of his battles at weights less than tho i65 pound figure, added probabilify to t9is view by win ming the title at an advanced age. He might even have beaten that human Gibraltar. Jeffries. if he had. not crum- pied his Salready shattered hands against the basaltic front of the Cali fornian.
 There are few who think Dillon could win finish fight from Willard But there is large chance that Jess will never again defend his title. Willard has shown reluctance to fight at all. and his ample earnings and the fact that he turned down $45,000 offer to fight Fred Fulton on Labor day indi- cate that he is through with defending the laurels he won from the fat and middle aged Jack Johnson. And, with Willard out, Jack Dillon's chance looms up nightly.

 The thing to do. and the one real chance to keep afloat till help comes. is to lie perfectly fiat on the back, legs and feet together and well extended. arms at the side and with the back of the head we'll submerged. Above all, inhale through the mouth and exhale through the nose. entirely reversing the manner of breathing on land. I have known of many cases where a person has been drowned when apparently provided with a good life preserver. In these cases the foam from waves dashing in the mouth has, s,caused stran- gulation.

Retirement of Willard Means Title For Dillon

 Sheer bulk. like that owned by the Willards. Morrises andoT other 25o pounders, seenis to carry with it an i'm pression Of invincibility.
 Therefore the belief that the minia- ture giant killer,' Dillon, could lay low l260 pounds of trained bone and muscle of known enduring power Is not taking deep root anywhere.
 And yet Dillont-at least for publica- tion-has stated that he believed he could defeat Willard. And he earned the right to some consideration by easily outpointing Frank Moran, 204l pound six footer.
 In the days of Jem Mace the axiom was advanced that a 165 pounder was heavy enough for any worlds, cham

Learn How to Swim In a Washbasin

C IF you want to be a swimmer get a
 washbasin full of water, bob your face up and down in it reverse the usual manner of breathing, and in this you have the most important les- son in swimming. Any woman flung into the ocean by submarine warfare. motorboat accident or even from an upset canoe can save her life if she will do absolutely nothing but lie per- fectly still on the water until help comes"
 George H. Corsan, who has taught more than 250. 1000 people to swim in the United States and Canada, made these statements recently in St. Paul. The matter of proper breathing in the wa ter Is one of the main features of his instruction.
 Tt is a fact" said Corsan, ''that 99 per cent of the cases. of drowning are due to the lack of knowledge of breath

stop on the ball as a result of the run a hook invariable possesses.
 Then, again. some players seem to think that it is necessary to assist a lofting iron by pushing their wrists in under the ball. almost always result ing in a missed shot. The club can be relied on to do the work, and 1t needs no assistance from the player. A good many golfers harbor the theory that all that is needed to improve their game is to follow some crack player and copy his style. Men are not built alike. Some men are tall and rangy. while others are inclined to avoirdu- pois, and it can be seen that stan dard swing ought not to be advocated. But often a pitiable effort to follow the style of some leading player is seen.
