quire very little exertion, and practical.
~ no resistance is offered in recovery,
so that every ounce of expended ener.
gy is fully utilized.
Probably the best proof which can be
adduced of the value of the trudgeon
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 nineteen and
three-quarter miles In IA hours 10 min
utes across tide, a performance equal
to the English channel swim both in
length and in difficulty Of course AL
fred 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 1t from start to finish In these
feats, and SO did George Meehan, the
Boston amateur, in creating last sum
mer a new record of 7 hours IS min
utes 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 iii effect may be
adopted confidently for everyday 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 followed,
1t will come quite naturally to those
who have been taught to swim by
means Of the side stroke or elemen-
tary crawl, for the action is very sim
liar.
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
now ana Wnen TO lnnaie and eXnale,
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 under water while the same
arm RECEIVERS, preferably through the
nostrils.
There are several exercises by which
this artificial mode Of respiration may
be practiced and acquired. For in

in waist deep water, lean wei until his

Broadly speaking, the trudgeon is a

When Mr.. Hale was let out Gov
