With Competitive Swimming

Los ANGELES, July 14.-Duke Kahan-
amoku. Hawaiian swimmer. announced
here to-day he is through with COM
petitive swimming.
For that matter" he continued. II
have been through with 1t for a year.
All talk about meeting between Johnny
Weissmuller and myself to settle the
matter of supremacy is foolish. He Is
the greatest swimmer the world has
ever seen"
Oscar Henning, the Dukes manager.
added:
'The Duke himself has timed Weiss
muller In So 1-5 seconds for the 100
yards in practice at Honolulu and
knows just what he can do. The Duke
will always be able TO do what he is
doing now--swim so or 100 yards faster
than anybody except a worlds champion
and without day of training. But he
has no intention of attempting to com
pete with Weissmuller. who is fifteen
years his Junior and who. the Duke ac-
knowledges. is the finest swimmer he
has ever seem"

Ruth's Bunt Another Surprise.


In the seventh inning Mr.. Bronkie,
who was third basing for the Browns,
received a great mental shock Babe
Ruth came up with one out. Instead
of swinging savagely the Babe turned
his bat lightly and bunted one down
to third
The sight OF Ruth bunting overcame
Mr.. Bronkie. He collapsed and sagged
down into the grass For moment 1t
looked as though he had tainted from
surprise. Before he could recover from
the shock Ruth had dashed down to
first base.

spair In the second inning. Aaron
Ward. the first Yankee up. got three

not score him and II looked very much
as though the "croociar' series would

Babe Ends the Incantation..

With Babe Ruth up, the incantations
beneath the stands ceased suddenly as
the decantations abruptly ran out. owing
to the presence of so many investigators
into the black magic. The Babe lifted
a high fly to Tobin just as the voodoo
doctor pocketed the mysterious phal and
walked out into the sunlight slightly
overcome by the strain under which he
had been. You can Judge for yourself
as to whether the jinx was dispelled by
the hit and run attack or by the dark
arts of the voodoo doctor.
While Shawkey did not wear the
flaming red flannel shirt in which he
usually sails off to battle the Cob was
at his best yesterday afternoon, and
when the Cob is steering his curved
ball by the compass there is no better
pitcher ashore or afloat. On the other
band. when the curved ball is not
breaking right the Yanks man the life
boats and wireless the bull pen.
In the eighth inning a young man in
a brown mackinaw with his cap on
the back Of his head made an un-
ostentatious getaway along the left
field boundary fence. 1t was Mr.. Urban
Shocker. late Nemesis OF the Yanks,
who had been knocked right out of q
job. This is the fourth successive time
that the Shocker jinx has been over
thrown. One of these days the Yanks
will begin to suspect that Nemesis
Is just a guy to be batted out of the
box.

SALvO OF HITS FOLLOWS
Scott, Schang and Witt Help
Put Team Half Game From
the Top.
by w. o. McGEEHAN.

Half a game, half a game, half a
game onward" as Old AL Tennyson
might have chirped If he had been
laureating around in the Yankee dug
out yesterday.
For the Yanks fattened their most
potent jinx yesterday and put them
selves within half game of first place.
Yes. sir; they socked their Nemesis,
Mr.. Urban Shocker. for four runs in
the fourth inning. while all the
world wondered" Old AL Tennyson
would put in at this point. In the
meantime Bob the Cob Shawkey, the
graceful ex-mariner, held the Browns
sluggers safe for a shutout.
The lightning which grazed the Gob's
arm on the previous day seemed to
have some electrical effect upon the
old soup bone. 1t was never working
better, and 1t seemed to have soaked
up some Of the speed Of the thunder
bolt. Miller Huggins is thinking Of
exposing the entire pitching staff to
the thunder showers. Umpire Chill
demanded to see one of the baseballs
pitched by Shawkey. He dropped it
Immediately upon receiving the pellet,
declaring that he had been shocked.
Jinx Destroyer Is Mystery.
Whether the destruction of the
Shocker jinx is due to the fact that the
fanks suddenly developed hit and run
attack that just naturally knocked
Shocker silly or to the importation Of a
Cuban voodpo doctor by Col. Tillinghast
LHommedieu Huston always will be a
matter of debate. This doctor, one
Charles Thrall, who has studied under
some of the best voodoo doctors, medi-
cine men and tabu experts, went into
the catacombs beneath the stadium Just
before the fourth inning.
He was accompanied by Col. Huston
and other well known scientists. The
voodoo doctor produced a silver phial or
flask of great proportions and, the wit
nesses say, some equally strange decan-
tations.
WHiic lncsc strange ana praCtlcally
obsolete rites were being performed
under the stands there was great activ-
ity upon the playing field. The weird
incantations of the voodoo doctor were
drowned In the cheers OF the customers.
but the decantations continued slowly.
Wally Pipp. the veteran OF the Yanks
in point Of service, took the first smash
at the tinx. He drove clean single to
right. Ward rolled one down to
Shockers feet and Pipp took second
while Aaron was being thrown out.
Scott lashed single to center and Pipp
raced home.
On the hit and run signal Schang
tapped beautiful one down to the spot
which Gerber had just previously va
Gated and Scott got all the way to third
on the play. Bob the Cob Shawkey
staged squeeze play here and Scott
scored as Shocker was throwing out the
Cob. Whitley Witt, the agile Albino.
banged hit to center and promptly
stole second. after Schang had scored.
Mique McNally drove a single to left
and the Albino came home.

5000 FINGERLINGS
PLACED IN BROOKS
Strenuous Work by Planting Grew
Keeps Them AIive-Returned Here
for Additional Ice Supply.

About $1,000 brook trout baby finger
lings in 80 cans left the state hatchery
in Bennington by motor truck yesterday
morning, reaching here about . O'Clock
They were transferred to a truck owned
by Louis I. Allen and were planted in
the brooks of Dummerston, Brattle-
boro and Guilford, the crew returning
here about o'clock last night The
fingerlings were sent TO the Windham
County Fish and Game club and the
planting was in charge of County
Warden +. H. Mctcalf whose services
We're furnished by the state and who was
assisted by two men acting for the club.
The extremely warm weather caused
the ice to melt rapidly so that the truck
had to return at noon TO get a new sup
ply of ice. Only through the strenuous
efforts Of the planting crew was the
great majority of the fish gotten into the
brooks alive. As ii was. only three cans
Of fngerlings went wrong and the crew
succeeded in saving a percentage of
those. The conditions made the planting
crew realize the need Of a hatchery at
the state plant in Vernon.
