supreme at all distances from the 4iO-
yard to the one-inile mark.
Although Miss Gall,gan Is the record
holder and slight favorite. II Is the
opinion Of many swimming critics that
Miss Dortner will lower her colors even
though the local cntrant is much better
at shorter distances. These two great
exponents Of swimming have never met
In race. SO Detroit aquatic fans will
have the opportunity OF witnessing what
the entire country has been awaiting.
Supreme in Sprints
Miss Dorfner has no rival in the
sprints where turns are required. She
uses an excellent crawl stroke and gains
many feet by the turns. She holds all
American women's sprint records up to
220 yards and has swum the 10
yards in 90 seconds. 80 yards in 20 Sec
onds, 60 yards in 80 seconds, so yards
In SO seconds. 100 yards in los 45 and
the 220 yards in $: :05 20. Last year she
won the, 80 and 100 yard national
women's championships.
AS an all-around swimmer Miss Claire
Galligan. of New Rochelle, is without a
peer among the american mcrmaids at
all distances from 220 yards up. She
uses a four-beat trudgcon crawl stroke
and has made some remarkable times.
5 me of her marks follow:
one hundred yards In 1903: 220 yards

The Herzog deal Is almost completed
and within a few days the peppry Sec
ond baseman is expected to be i'll the
Braves lineup. This was announced by
Manager Stalllngs today after he had
received word from McGraw that Jimmy
Smith, the young intielder would be
shipped to Boston Immediately 1t was
this part of the deal that held up, the
signing Of Herzog. but now that stall
lings has won his point Charles Lincoln
will receive his bonus and other things
he asked for. Big Ed Konetchy, the
hold-out first baseman. reported This
morning and worked out with the team.
This leaves Dick Rudolph as the only
remaining hold-out.
The pitching staff of the Phils was al
most ruined by yesterdays game. Meyer
and Woodward have sore arms, and
Oeschger is indisposed. Ben Tincup did
most of the pitching today and was
opposed by Nehf and Pat Ragan.

difficult for business men who could only

tident that the increase in price will tend
to eliminate this crowding and make 1t
more comfortable for the older players,
when you consider the high cost OF
