ATHLETES TRAIN
ON BEER AND ALE DIET
American Trainers Are Surprised at
Endurance Of British Record
Breakers.

By United Press.
New YoRK, May 20.-England has a
lot Of liberal ideas but in the training Of
athletes the British theory is positively
loose.
The difference in the method Of train.
ing athletes in the United States and
England is as wide as the water that
separates them.
However, there is no chance now for
Americans TO prove the respective mer-
its Of the two training systems, because
there is no beer or no ale in the United
States and that's what they train on in
England.
The relay runners of the University Of
Pennsylvania who finished second behind
Cambridge in the recent four-mile event
at the Queens Club in London, wefe the
most recent American boys to be stunned
by the English way of getting ready for
a race.
The Penn boys were treated royalty by
their British hosts and invariably at every
function their introduction was followed
by" ave one, won't you" and a mug
of ale.

HE COULDN'T KILL THIS
CLOTHES.LINE POST
WITH NAIL OR TAR!

]. B. Hopper, 323 North Ninth street
has a remarkable clothes-iine post. Blu,
its not really a post. 1t is rather. a
young poplar tree. that insists on living.
Last summer Mr.. Hopper cut an un.
necessary limb off Of a poplar tree in
his yard and trimmed it for use as q
clothes-line posi-. The post lay out in
the sun for over two weeks, and then
was painted with tar on both ends and
put into the ground.
About two weeks later il showed signs
Of life, several tender sprouts shooting
out from the sides. By fall, the posi-
began to resemble a young tree. Mr..
Hopper, however. did not intend to have
another tree in his yard. and thought
he would try its hardness by trimming
of all the limbs, and driving a spike
through the heart, which ordinarily will
kill any young tree. This proved TO no
avail, however. The young clothes-line
post-tree. as Mr.. Hopper calls it, is now
about twelve feet high. and shaped beau
tifully enough to grace any lawn.

SWISS GAMES FOSTER
PATRIOTISM THROUGH
SINGING AND DANCING

Miss D. Bach, a member of the TO
nance language department Of the uni
versity, was reminded recently of the fes
tivals and games of her native Switzer
land.
''The Swiss love their singing and
shooting and gymnastics" said Miss
Bach, but We do not seem so passion
ate in our games as the Americans. Oul
contests are chiefly for fostering a pa.
triotic spirit, for there are Italians,
French, and Germans in our cantons, and
it is good for them to meet in friendly
rivalry. The festivals have for centu
ries been characteristic of the Swiss, moi
religious festivals like the Passion Play,
but festivals representing the passing
of the seasons, the founding Of towns,
or the harvesting Of crops. The village
folk, every ten years, as in the Fest de
Vignerons at Vevey, depict these ideas
through dancing and singing, drssed in
fantastic costumes which it has taken
many days to make"
Speaking of Thun, her home, Miss
Bach said, ''It is a typical Swiss vii.
lage; above it ON the mountain side is
the old Roman fortress and beside it is
the clear Lake of Thun, not very far
from Lake Geneva and the Prison Of
Chillon.'
Since coming to the United States,
Miss Bach has taught in Eureka Col
lege, ILL.,, the University Of Nebraska.
and Oberlin College, Ohio. She has
been at the University Of Missouri since
last September.

ARGENTINA BREAKS RECORDS
Swimming Feats in Rio de Ia Plata
Make World Standards,

by Unned PTess.
BUENos AIRES, May 2O.-Argentina is
setting new world swimming records for
distance and endurance in the water, and
the past month has witnessed perform
ance Of remarkable feats in the Rio de Ia
Plata.
Far surprising the achievement Of Tir.
aboschi, who established a precedent by
crossing the 50 mile width Of the stream
in 1920, is that of an Argentine amateur
swimmer, Senior Romeo Maciel, present
holder Of the worlds record. The latter
attained this distinction by crossing from
Colonia to Punta Lara, distance of 50
kilometers and 800 meters in "a hours,
50 minutes and 40 seconds. Lieutenant
Juan Luis Caramendy, of the Argentine
army, is shortly to attempt to outdo this.
Marcel's crossing of the river was
made March l3. The swimmers voraci-
Gus appetite nearly cost him his laurels,
for food administered to him while he
was in the water was consumed in such
quantities that cramps resulted.

Losing Three and
Tieing One.

FINAL SCORE IS 3 TO O

Alright pitching by Ficklin, coupled
with the errorless support Of his team
males, enabled the Tigers to blank the
Washington University baseball team in
the last game Of the Tiger season at Rol.
lins Field yesterday afternoon. The final
score was 3 to O. 1t was the first victory
for Coach Jones' tossers over the Pikers,
having lost three TO them and tied one.
Ficklin had a shade the better of a
brilliant pitching dud with Scurlock,
spitball hurler of the Pikers. While Mis-
seuri was punching three hits with walk
and sacrifice hit for three runs in. the
sixth frame, the Tiger moundsman was
toying with the visitors. Wildnss got the
lanky Missouri hurler in hot water. sew
eral times but he always tightened in the
pinches.
In the first seven innings Ficklin al
lowed only one single, a scratch hit
through third base In the eighth the
St. Louisians got to him for two hits af-
ter two men were out, but the next hit
Ter was an easy out. True to form. judg-
ing from performances Of this season, the
Tigers managed to put three Pikers on
the paths in the ninth with only one gone.
However. Ficklin made Finn lift to Rob-
ets in short right field and whitfield
Bond, who was sent in to hit for Sour
lock.
Roberts was the lone Tiger to reach
FIST base of Scurlock in the first FIVE in
nings, but in the sixth the Piker splitter
weakened, and Missouri pushed across
three runs.
Whitehead, who played third base,
started the inning by drawing a free
ticket, and went to second on Ficklin's
sacrifice hit. Freddie Taylor came
through with a double to right, sending
Whitehead across. Roberts dropped a
single in short center, Taylor holding
second. Lowrance forced the Tiger right
fielder at second, when Wyman mis-
judged his fly, but threw to Edgar at the
middle station. Taylor took third on
the play and Loxrance stole second On
the next pitch. Murphy's single to- kfr
field scored both men.
Two more hits were collected off Sour
lock in the last two frames by Taylor
and Whitehead but neither resulted in
a score.
Coming into the ninth, the Pikers made
q final effort to pull the game out Of
the lost column. Fries opened the inning
by working Ficklin for a free ticket.
Wyman, the bespectacled Piker keystone
guardian, struck out, but Stanley fol-
lowed with a two-bagger to center, Fries
holding third. Thompson drew the second
base on balls Of the inning and the has
socks were loaded for Finn, who flied to
Roberts. Fries was caught fatfooted off
third and was unable to score after the
catch. Bond, a pinch-hitter, fell victim
to Ficklin's curves and the game was
ended.
The fielding of both teams was sensa-
tional. Edgar handled ten plays without
the semblance of an error, making sew
eral brilliant stops and throws. Roberts
neat catch of Fries low liner in the fourth
resulted in a double killing, Linnemeyer
being caught off second.

WRAPPING ORDINANCE
GENERALLY APPROVED
Or. c. N. Handy Appreciative OF
Residents Compliance
With New Law.

DIR. G. Nj. Handy, president OF the
Board Of Health. Is very much pleased
with the manner In which the resi-
dents OF the city are complying with
the new law requiring them To drain
and wrap the garbage. IL is accepted
as evidence on their part OF a desire
To Cooperate with tho city govern
mcnt In general and the health
authorities in particular In the en-
forcement Of all laws and i'm making
the city a healthier place TO live in.
When the wrapping ordinance was
first considered 1t was the general be-
lief that there would be some very
strong opposition TO II. TO date. how
ever, this objection has not developed
and, in fact. there has not been a pro-
test of any kind heard by the health
authorities. DR.. Handy said in some
districts about town all the residents
are carefully following the provisions
Of the law. while in others the percent
age Of people who are complying with
II is very large. The health authori-
ties have been somewhat lenient thus
far because the crcmatory is not work
ing, but as soon as il is in service
the wrapping ordinance will be strict
ly enforced
DIR. Handy stated he expects the
Nye inclnerator to be ready for ser
vice sometime next week. The work
Of making necessary repairs there is
progressing rapidly. but has been de-
layed somewhat 10y the non arrival of
very essential parts. II is estimated
the cost of the repair work will be be-
tween 81 900 and 81 200, which the city
Will have 10 pay.
