SWIMMING GREAT AID
Develop Muscles Essential for
Professional Boxer.
Australian Crawl Stroke Produces
Shoulder Development Necessary
for Knockout Punch, Says
Promoter Baker.

1T has always been a favOrite con-
tention of mine that providing he suf-
fers no special disability, the swim
mer whose body has been developed
by that best of all exercises has ac-
quired Il physique the possession of
which is indispensable to success as
boxer" says Snowy" Baker, Aus
tralian fight promoter and physical
culture expert.
THE development that results from
natatorial exercises is superior to that
procured by any StrOng-man system,
for the muscular bulginess so pro-
nounced in wrestlers and weight lifters
is rarely conspicuous in the swimmer.
"When in repose the swimmers
muscles do not obtrude themselves,
but, nevertheless, when the effort is
wanted, when the strain is put upon
them, they respond readily.
at is somewhat of q coincidence,
too, that in build the swimmer and
boxer are much the same. Boxers usu-
ally have their weight where it is
most needed. being big Of shoulder and
light in hips and legs. Many good
swimmers are heavy limbed, but the
majority show a tendency to taper
from the chest down and approach
the ideal of physical beauty immortal
lied in Greek statuary.
'In both swimming and boxing the
muscles brought into play are regu-
! l. ,lrr 81 hn c,xx-iYf
mer making his stroke exerts all his
strength, and then, recovering for the
next one, the muscles are at rest The
| boxer delivers his blow with tenSed
muscles and then relaxeS. SO it goes
| throughout a contest in the water or
| in the ring, alternate strain and rest
for the muscles employed, and so both
produce a condition where the muscles
retain their elasticity and respond
readily and quickly to all calls made
upon them.
Il have before today expressed the
| opinion that one swimming stroke, the
Australian crawl, produces shoulder
development that is a necessary pos
session of the man with knockout
| punch. So far as my experience OF
| boxing goes. the favored few who have
the handy gift of being able to dis
pose of an opponent with one "clout'
are always men with loose shoulder
action and good shoulder development
'Now, with the crawl stroke most O
the work falls to the shoulder ant
arms. and the continual effort to pul
the body through the water with
swinging action results in such q de
velopment."

We do not know how he is going to get back either later. But suppose there will some time be way. Some years after the civil war many de- serters who left the country allowed to return That is they slipped back and were not molested, but heard one who remained in the locality where he had lived before his deserton. We not speaking of the "skeedaddlers' those who ran away in advance of the draft to escape t but those who had actually been drafted had enlisted A good many of the "skeedaddlers' returned to their old homes and shameessly lived happy ever after
 This young man, if he should come back, would certainly try to live down his past at Bisbee.

A reasonable degree of optimism regarding the outcome of the is proper, but expressions of optimism should be made a means of deception The American people do to be buoyed up by false hopes by talk certain victory when vic tory is in sight. They will fight the better if they know they have to fight. The American Defense society induges in illusions when it makes this call upon the country:
 I've with the leading military nation of the world The first of troops under fire in France Our sailors the high are fac ing the attack of submarines We have established a line of troop ships.

The president the cabinet, congress the men in the navy those in the trenches and the great army in training camps all doing their part. But that is not enough.
 Since August 1914 German military forces have trebed their recruiting capacity. Today German do- mnion extends from the North Sea, through Con stantinople, to the Persian Gulf German armies are in Belgium, France and Russia. German aVlators are repeatedly bombarding the city of London. German submarines have sunk millions of tonnage
 this war, if you cannot go to the front ;ou will hardly be content unless you are doing your share at home especially when you read of the great dis
 
 submarines.
 Germany today is mobilized to the last man and woman and if America is to win this war, America must mobilize, only at the front, but those at home you of those at home, you will want to know how you can best help to back up the men in the trenches. Service at home does not neces sarly that you give up family obligations, or the time necessary for earning your Livelihood Such service can and should be given in your spare time

 If you are an American citizen, if you believe Tn the ideal life liberty and happiness for which our forefathers gave their lives in the revolution; If you are not at the front-then is high time that you aid in patriotic American work at home by enrolling in an organization like the Al ercan Defense society which made up of citizens who, without thought oi nersonal gain are giving their time, enthusiasm and money 10 the cause of American liberty.
