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

ut has always been favorite con-
tention Of mine that providing he suf-
fers no special disability, the swim

by that best of all exercises has nc

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 llfters
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.
1T is somewhat of coincidence.
too, that In build The swimmer and
boxer are much the same. Boxers usu-
ally have their weight where 1t is
most needed, being big of shoulder and
light in hips and legs. Many good
swimmers are heavy llmbed, 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-
larly tensed and relaxed. The SWIM
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 II goes
throughout contest In the water or
in the ring, alternate strain and rest
for the muscles employed, and so both

retain their elasticity and respond
readily and quickly to all calls made
upon them.
II have before today expressed the
opinion that one swimming stroke, the
Australian crawl, produces a shoulder
development that is a necessary pos

punch. SO far as my experience of
boxing goes, the favored few who have
the handy gift of being able to dis.

POPULARITY OF HORSE RACES
Past Year Was One Of Most Brilliant
In History Of Trotting TrIt-
Many Records Broken.

In many respects the past year was
one Of the most notable and brilliant
In the history of the American trot-
ting turf. In point of speed the sea-
sons records far surpassed those of
any past year, as shown by the notable
changes in the table of worlds cham
pionship marks, records for the year,
number Of fast performances, both
trotters, and PAGERS, and number and
quality Of performers In the Juvenile
divisions.
That the harness racing sports or
"the trots," are still popular with the
American public, was demonstrated by
the fact that close to 1900 separate
race meetings were held In this coun-
try during the season extending from
June to December.

Miss Melissa Crane had lived alone
In the red brick house In Locust street
for over 10 years. Living alone some
times makes one sweeter, mellower,
and more tolerant Of ones fellow crea.
lures. Miss Melissa had been decent
God-fearing woman, living strictly
within the letter of the law. II she
had ever had love affair It was en-
tirely unknown to anyone in Barring
ton. Still, good deal might have hap
pened before then, as Melissa Crane
was all OF thirty when she came there.
Old Hannah, who had gone faith
fully for years, once year to "clean
up" for Miss Crane, probably knew
more about that lady's affairs than
anyone else In Darlington. Oddly
enough, Miss Crane was even at times
confidential with her servitor, perhaps
because she found she was like herself,
close-mouthed.
When old Hannah was set to open
up and clean a long disused bedroom,
her curiosity got the better of her.
"Going to have company2" she ven-
tured.

child" At the woman's astonished
look she added: 81 guess she must be
more than twelve. I didn't think to
ask. Oh, dear! l don't know how I'm
ever going to stand 1t; but I'll get her
on to some good boarding school Just
as quick as / can"
"Have you adopted herf' still fur

adopted herr" snorted Miss Crane,
as though asked If she had committed
burglary. "Not at all. She's the
child of good-for-nothing half-brother
Of mine. Her mother died about three
years ago, and now he has been killed
In an accident"
1t was rather pathetic little figure
In black that landed at the door Of the
red brick house. When the appeal In
the large brown eyes greeted Miss
Crane she did something quite unex-
pected to herself; she put her arms
around the child and kissed her. Miss

Crane concluded she wasn't pretty, but
she had "the makings" of good looks.
Ethel was not quite the untamed
barbarian Miss Crane had expected,
though she had her quota Of faults, and
committed some Of the usual childish
misdemeanors. But she succeeded In
penetrating the rather hard crust of
Mellssa's heart to the extent of not
being packed Off to a boarding school,
and was suffered to continue her edu-
cation on the home ground.
1t was sore trial to the elder wom-
an when the girl she had learned to
love as her own seemed to care
for the company of Irwin Banks. Ethel
was now nineteen. She had been gradu-
ated from the high school, and had
been studying at an art academy, and
was once more back In harrington.
II was something of shock to the
girl when her aunt made known to
her the aversion she felt toward Irwin
Banks, and her strong desire that she
should not allow the acquaintance to
go any further.
"But why, aunty?" she urged. "What
have you against himT
"Don't you know what there is
against him" cried Miss Crane. "
"Well-whatw
"Why. that boy took to drinking
when he wasn't more than eighteen.
He got in with bad set, and helped
rob a store over in Redcliffe, and got
sent up for year."
"Yes, I know about that" said Ethel
quietly.
Her aunt regarded her with speech
less amazement. When she finally
found breath to speak, she said: "You
knew that? And yet you ask me what
there Is against him?
"Yes, knew it-he told me. But
that was seven years ago. He has
never touched liquor since. 1t was a
terrible lesson. They got him so
drunk that night he scarcely knew
what he was doing. He watched out
side, but he never entered the store.

HOLD MULLANE WAS FASTEST
Former Cincinnati Pitcher Compared
With Amos Rusie and Walter
johnson as speedlest HurIer.

During recent argument between
Cincinnati baseball fans the question
arose as to the speediest pitcher. The
name Of Tony Mullane was connected
with that Of Amos Rusie and Walter
johnson. John B. Connolly, one of the
oldest fans, declared that Tony Null
lane was the speediest pitcher the
game ever developed.
Unquestionably, the old-timers say,
Mullane had great speed in his earlier
years. 1t would be difficult. however,
to make the admirers Of Rusie's time
believe Mullane pitched G sreedier ball
than their idol.
