HOUR AND HALF DIP
NEXT in CITY POOLS

Bathing periods for individuals at
the public swimming pools are re-
stricted to an hour and half by a
plan to be presented before the
Board Of Park Commissioners by
Park Superintendent Mack.
The plan has been proposed be-
cause Of the record-breaking attend
ances at the four city-controlled
swimming pools this year. The day
will be divided into four periods in
stead of two Under the present plan,
boys can go to the pool at 9 o'clock
in the morning and remain until
noon. and from until o'clock in
the afternoon.
While it is not believed that many
persons occupy the pools for an en-
tire day some do remain several
hours at a time and. with others
constantly coming. congestion is
caused. reducing the extent of
swimming pleasure that can be OBJ
tanned and the number that can be
accommodated.
The proposed change is to open
the pools as usual at o'clock in
the morning, cause everyone in the
pools TO leave at 1880 take in a
new crowd from 1890 to - O'Clock,
another from to $50 o'clock and
still another from $50 to 8 o'clock.
No one who has been in the pool
for any one session in the day would
be permitted to return for another
session. This, it Is believed. would
give the maximum number Of bath
ers the opportunity to visit the
pools and at the same time would
have a tendency to guard against
too many of them being in the pools
at any one time.

ST. HEDWIG HAS
SOMETHING TO SAY

Sports Editor The Evening Journal
Dear Sir: In justice to John b.
Pletuszka. DR.. Stanley Szypkowski
and v. ]. Kowalewsl<i. whose opin-
ions on the last Raymond-Horba
bout Olen Hackett endeavored to
discredit in Fridays Evening Jour
nal, we wish to state that Mr..
Hackett must have been misin-
formed.
The assertion that Mr.. Pietuszka
knows more about the grocery busi-
ness than about boxing, is unfound-
ed Mr.. Pietuszka never was and is
not in the grocery business. Fur
thermore. he is not a novice IN the
boxing game.
In speaking to DIR. Stanley Szyp-
kowski about Mr.. Hackett's letter.
the doctor stated. that in all fair
ness to Raymond. he would not and
will not make public the condition
of the fighter. Physically, Raymond
was in good shape; otherwise Mr..
Hackett must have known what was
the matter with his fighter, and
knONllE Afldl AMhANAA az 80 H-r
ter admitted) he should not have per-
mitted Raymond to fight that eve
ming, said DR.. Szypkowski. That
condition most likely caused Ray
mond's defeat. the doctor added.
Mr.. Kowalewsl<i. is not in the least
unbalanced on account Of the at
tempted belittling. He knows how
to Judge a boxing contest and we
know that he saw far more than five
boxing exhibitions.
Yes. there are a lot Of things one
may learn from newspapers-even
about boxing said -ir. Kowalewski.
In conclusion we would say, that
Mr.. Hackett shows the right spirit
when he states that fifteen round
bout should be arranged between
Ralph Raymond and Johnny Horba.
Such a bout would conclusively de-
eide who is the better fighter. The
sooner this is done the better, and
we feel assured that Johnny Horba
will be right there in doing 1t, too
