navy, self-styled long distance swim
ming champion of the world, makes
statements concerning the crawl which
cannot be passed unchallenged, for they
ere likely to be taken at face value by
the uninitiated and convey totally
mistaken view of the efficiency of this
stroke.
EIonsky asserts that the crawl is un-
available for distance swimming and
quite worthless in rough water One
might cite performances without num-
Der which absolutely refute this state
ment, but two will suffice.
Last summer Joseph Gunther, of
Charleston, w. Va, swan twenty seven
miles of virtually still water in 16
hours II minutes-probably the great
est feat of combined speed and endur-
ance ever performed by man-and he
used the straight crawl from start to
finish.

girl Of seventeen-Miss Louise Debus,
of Philadel phia-covered the fourteen

In this race, incidentally, Miss Rose

used the breast stroke, and was so buff

to withdraw after going about seven

In every instance the handicapping
appeared extremely generous. Every
scratch starter turned in an exception
ally fine performance, but this good eff
fort netted them nil under the condi-
tions. In two events the scratch men
were so badly beaten that they retired
from the contest when it was seen that
hopeless task faced them in overtak-
ing the leaders.
On top of the dethroning of the
champions, who usually started from
scratch behind their fields of oppon-
ents, was the fast race of 4:25 for the
mile run returned by William Stokeley.
unattached. the winner. Stokeley en-
loyed the big start of 65 yards and,
to hide the liberal advantage. remained
content to lie behind the pacemakers
during the early stages of the race.
Reaching the 220-yard pole from the
finish, Stokeley called into use his re-
serve speed and "cantered' away from
has opponents to win as he pleased.
Eddie Mayo, attached to the Hospital
Corps of Fort Slocum, was second, run
ning creditable race from the 45-yard
mark. although this distance is far short
of the one at which he can display his
best speed. Mayo kept close in the
wake of kelley the greater part of
the way. but fell rearward at the end.
During the final 100 yards Mayo had to
work up extra steam. as j. Mercer.
White Plains Y. NJ. c. A. who finished
third, threatened to displace him from
the runnerup position. Mayo held his
position by only two yards.
Gordon Has Hopeless Task
William Gordon, from Pelham Bay
Naval Reserve Station, started from
scratch in this race. but at no time did
he get within striking distance of the
leaders. Gordon succeeded in sweeping
past a number of rivals on the final lap,
but then slowed down when he noticed
he could not catch the other athletes.
The most scintillating finish was seen
in the 22O-yard handicap run when
Willard Stevens, Salem Crescent Ath-
letic Club, won by bare two feet from
Frederick c. Teschner. Glencoe Ath-
letc Club. who was second. During the
first 100 yards Teschner ran roughshod
big gap that he was up with the leaders
at the head of the finishing stretcke
Here he came abreast Of Stevens and
the two raced along together How
ever. in the closing strides the pace be-
gan to tell on Teschner, who slowly
fell behind. The winners time was
23 seconds.
Matt J. McGrath. former worlds rec
ord holder with the 6-pound hammer,
was also among the scratch men who
displayed their wares without reward.
The poiceman's downfall came in the
throwing of the 35-pound weight for
distance, when he was forced to grant
allowance as high as 16 feet. There
fore, McGrath was shut out, although
his actual throw netted him a credit of
81 feet 2M inches.
Two Scratch Losers
Two other names added to the
scratch losers were George w. Dernell

these days may imagine that they have
a tough job on their hands keeping a

together they would begin to realize
what real troubles are.
The Paris Baseball League COM
prises thirty clubs, these being divided
into five sections, the winner in each
division to play a round robin in the
fall to decide the championship of
France. Despite the active fighting
only forty miles from the French cap
ital, twentysix of the thirty teams in
the league were able to play their
games scheduled for last Sunday. OF
course many of the teams were badly
weakened because of the hurried de-
parture Of players to the front. Still
some excellent games were PLAYED.
Each team in the league has at least
two or three former professional stars
in its lineup.
