Brilliant Girl Swimmers,

Two girls, 16 and IT years old, and a third who, year ago, was unable to swim stroke, are engaging the attention of followers of equatics on the Pacific coast. Miss Helen Mar tin, 16 years old, of Honolulu, in a recent swimming meet at San Fran cisco, lost only by few inches in the ffty-yard breast stroke event to Mrs. Terrie Desch. Miss Martins per fCrmance is the more remarkable by reason of the fact that in this race Mrs. Desch created a new Pacific coast record of 1 minute, 39 3-5 sec onds for the distance.
 Ruth Crane is the 17-year-Old mer- maid. In the same meet she won both the 50 and 1OO-yard sprint events. She is an Alemeda girl, and her friends are predicting a brilliant future for her in swimming compe- tition.
 Lillian Snowgrass who, a year ago, was unable to swim a single stroke, is placed second in the diving events to Miss Gladys Boehmer, the Pacific association champion. She has com peted only a few times. Under the circumstances her ability is consid- cred quite remarkable.
 For her versatility as a swimmer, many followers of the sport have ac- corded to Mrs. Frances Cowells Schroth the place among women that has been accorded among men to Nor man Ross, that of being the best all- round performer of her sex.
 Tn a recent meet held at San Fran cisco Mrs Schroth won every event in which she entered. Their diversi- ty may be judged from the fact that they included 220 and 5O0-yard swims and the 50 and 100-yard back-stroke events. She holds records in the free style short dasEes and also is a win ner of the annual One-mile grind across the Golden Gate, considered one of the most exhausting and diff fcu1t of the local waters to negotiate. Tn this contest she was opposed by the best long distance women swim mers on the coast.

Angels Meet Setback.

After being away off in the lead ever since the season started, the Los Angeles club of the Pacific coast base ball league finally has been pulled down in the percentage ratings to within hailing distance of the other first division teams in the circuit. To the Vernon club belongs the honor of making the Angels tumble below the 500 mark, to which, until only recently, it appeared they were in no danger of falling.
 Followers of baseball are pleased at the turn of affairs, with the excep- tion perhaps of the Los Angeles fans, for the reason that it adds more interest in the race for the pennant The first division teams now are sui ficiently close together to mako even a brief losing streak on the part of one of the leaders a matter of con- siderable concern.

New Texas Speedway.

Plans have been perfected for a $150,0OO motor speedway at Dalworth, midway between Dallas and Fort Worth, and construction will start i'm mediately.
 The track will be constructed on a site of sixty-fve acres, located on the interurban and on the Dallas-Fort Worth pike. The speedway and stands will be of brick, with a seat ing capacity of 5O,OOO. The oval track will be a mile and a half long, ard the promoters claim this will give the longest straight-away on any speedway in the country.

Contradictory Bill cIymer.

Few managers in the Pacific Coast Baseball League ever have been the object of greater diversity of criti- c;sm than Bill Clymer of the Seattle tenn, who has just been succeeded by Irwin. He frankly admits he doesn't know whether he is a hero or a renegade.
 Clymer was execrated as the leader of a tail-end team who hasn't shown any particular aptitude for getting together creditable-playing machine and as showing poor judgment in the men whom he has dismissed from the club.
 On the other hand, there are those who laud him as 8 man who kept on fighting notwithstanding the dis.

couraging showing made by his men. They say he put more life into the game for the spectator than any other one individual in the entire league. His coaching activities during the progress of a game have been com mented upon by the sporting writers as one of the features of the play
 Clymer while in the East is never credited with having managed a team which did not figure up in the first division, and the fact that the Seattle team is in the Pacific coast "cellar" position has afforded abundant ma terial for the paragraphers.

Jack Holland, owner of the Okla homa City, Okla, club of the West ern League, is planning to retire after twenty years as a player, manager and owner. Holland said he would quit this season if he could find a buyer for his club.
 There's nothing wrong with base ball." he explained, 'but I'm tired of the game. I figure I need a rest. I am perfectly satisfied with the treat ment received at Oklahoma City this season and with the showing of the club"
