So we started this shop. But we
expect to have a chain of smoke

4,000 SAILORS TO
 BE TAUGHT TO SWIM
Orders Go to Guantanamo for
 Lessons to Be Given at Once

Norfolk, Va, March 4.-Orders
 have gone to Guantanamo that some
 4,0o0 lads aboard the ships of the swim be taught to paddle their own canoe before the fleet comes north for the summer. They will take to the nice warm Cuban water under the eyes of rough tongues, but highly efficient petty officers, who are widely known to be proficient in the main business of the navy in any line-to get results.
 Navy men are always apt to get a ducking. It looks like plain sailing to see bare-footed launch crews whirl up to the gangway in smooth water, but they have to do it every day. They are the butchers and bakers and candle stick makers boys of the fleet, always on the go. And it's something of a trick to come along side in a seaway without Jumping somebody off the boat or carrying away a fender to the profane wrath of the bo'sun and indignation of the deck officer and first loot' of the ship. A ships boat hops about like a flea on a hot griddle in a surface stir that leaves he ship as motionless as the Statue of Liberty.
 Hence the order to teach the navy 70 swim. If g. lad is dumped overheard and can keep himself afloat for while, you can trust the navy in general to fish him safely out finally. They are always pinning medals on ;ailor folk for that.

BOBBY REIMER TO
 MEET BILL SWEENEY
Local Boxers Will Settle Matter of Supremacy in Ring at Hartford

Matchmaker Hugh T. Rorty of the Liberty A. C. of Hartford, has secured Bobby Reimer of this city to meet Kayo Bin Sweeney also of this city. in the semi-final bout Of the exhibition in the Capitol City on next Monday night. Remer takes the place of Sailor Joe Gibbs of Boston, who was originally scheduled to box Sweeney. The Reimer- Sweeney affair is one that was often discussed in this city, before the game sustained bad injuries. The boys have a strong following. Sweeney is perhaps more inexperienced of the two. but he packs a hefty sock in both mitts. Reimer has been going at fast clip of late, recent battles at Boston adding considerably to his reputation. The boys will collide for eight-rounds.
 The star bout is one that should produce plenty of action, with Johnny Shugrue of Waterbury. meeting Young Rector, of Jersey City, in a scheduled 12-rounder. The Brass City boy has been working steadily of late, and is one of the best box office attractions in these parts. He has been brought back to Worcester several times of late, so good has been his performances. The Skceter boxer has met all the top notchers. including Champions Benny Leonard and Johnny Kilbanc.
 Tho fact that two local boys will meet will no doubt bring out a big crowd of fans from. this city at the bout Monday night.
