ever applied to male students. decrease in

American Swimming Supremacy

Meanwhile. Of course, women were achieving
new athletic freedom in all occidental countries
with the result that at the last Olympic meet in
Antwerp there was gathering of water nymphs
such the world had never seen before Ameri-
can supremacy was easily established and held
Such swimmers as Ethelda Blcibtrey, Helen
wainwright, Charlotte Boyle, Aieen Riggn. Alice
Lord and many others represent perfection in
physical development because of their swimming
and have rolled up many brilliant records
Now women are crowding men in all depart
ments Of sport Even such exclusively male games
as football and baseball opening up to women,

have a quantity Of first rate women athletes been
brought TO the fore, but the number of women
who go in for sports proved amazingly large. Nor
is This interest in athletics confined TO one part
of the country.
In the South where the tradition Of luxury
and ease for women is strongest, quite as many
sound athletes proportionate to the population
were brought forth as in any other section. And
IT may be stated in this connection that Alexa
Stirling the present Metropolitan golf champion
Of New York and former champion Of America
was reared and learned all her golf in Georgia.
Women entered athletics for the most part
through swimming Twenty years ago, when
women were still supposed to scream at the sight
Of blood, swimming parties were social events
almost entirely Male swimmers would take their
wives, sisters and sweethearts along to make up
AN appreciatiye audience Occasionally one Of the
girls ventured into the water 10 "learn swim
ming" Bu as the same girl would continue to
learn swimming for three or four years it was
generally concluded that she--and all like her
were interested more in their instructors than in
getting results.
After a while though, women began to take
swimming seriously The establishment of Y W.
c. 4. buildings containing swimming pools did
much 20 stimulate the love for swimming in
women. For there they could go about the bust
ness Of learning with a serious mind and without
any men about to laugh at their appearance or
lack of skill.

It has been suggested that the great improve
ment in records made by women athletes during
the past few years is due to the gradual over
throw of traditional restraint ingrafted by the
inherent fear of being "unrefned," "unwomany"
"likc tomboy." They have adopted the reg
ulation clothes in every sport now. In England
girls run at track meets in regulation running
shirts and pants. Miss Dorothy Bough of Tenn
pie University, Philadelphia, uses that costume
exclusively She recently did the 10O-yard dash
in l21 seconds And Geraldine Bundy, Ethel
King, Ella Strngham, Fanny Rubinsten Theo.
dora Ellis and Susie Smith of Oakland Cal. have
also donned the regulation togs.

According to experts women should eventually
become better fencers than men. Already one
woman is threatening the supremacy Of the male
iencers in America. She is Miss Adelne
Gehrg, a New York stenographor who in her
leisure time became champion woman fencer
of the United States
When Miss Gehrig was a very young child she
longed for activity and freedom, but her elders
discountenanced the idea. They didn't consider IL
good training for young woman. But sbe
climbed trees and ran races all the same and her
friends and neighbors rebuked her by calling her
a tomboy. When she grew up, though. she had a
well-uained body and was not slow in taking her
place high among the American women athletes
Her entry into fencing was accidental She
happened TO be handling a foil in the presence OF
an instructor at the New York Fencing Cuh He
came over and urged her TO take instructions saw
ing that she seemed to know instinctivey the cor
rect movement of wrist and arm. She took his
advice and has been champion of America for the
past two years. Recently Miss Gehrig won the
title Of all-round champion athlete in a meet held
at Chicago
But it is not merely the specialist and the
champion who is mad about athletics 1t is true

and England and to less extent in other Euro
pean countries.
Nor are they contented to stick to tennis and
golf. Those who are not doing distance swim
ming are playing polo, basket ball, handball or
going in for marathon running and other track
athletics. At a recent meet held at Brighton

Iaurens, Oct. 9.-Senator \. B.
Dial was this afternoon advised of
the recess appointment OF Joseph
W Tolbert as United States mar
shal for the Western district Of
South Carolina. Senator Dial has
opposed Toibert,s nomination front
the first and he indicated tonisht
rhat he was not through with rhe
protest.
The senator wired District Judge
Watkins protesting the. qualify ag
of Toibert, citing the fstct that the
appointee has been convicted in
fhs United States courts of crim:-
nssss acts and in all probability he
Is disqualified to take the oath and
hold Office under the constitution.
The senator also wired Gen. IL l..
Eonham TO take such steps as nee
essary to prevent ToIbert from
holding this important post. He
pointed out to General Bonna N
that unless Tolbert has been pa
doned. he can not qualify for the
Office and the senator says that he
does not know OF any such pardon
having been granted. The conf
ton OF Tolbert referred to was for
alleged embezzlement and larceny
aiser trust according to the rec
oras, says the senator. Senator
Dial says that waen Tolbert.s uon-
ination was sent 10 the senate he
objected to confirmation where
npon The case was referred 10 a
subcommittee of three members of
the judiciary committee. Charges
we're fled and the committee WAS
urged 10 have Toibert come before
it for a hearing Of the case, as it
was the intention Of the senator
70 cross examine him before the
committee. A demand for eom-
,nittee proceeding was made sew
erai times. bur Mr. Tolbere did not
appear, although this was urged by
the senator.
Considering these grave charges.
Gays Senator Dial Dial. which We're
unanswered and unanswerabIe, he
consider it an outrage to the de-
cent people OF South Carolina for
the Republican administration to
try te force man OF such charac-
ter on this district and state
Continuing. Senator Dial said
that if Judge Watkins allows Toll
bert TO qualify. possibly all his Of
fetal acts will be Illegal I'm the
event, however. that Tolbert is
permitted TO qualify. the senator
gays he will do all in his power to
have the nomination rejected when
It comes up in the senate for con-

those associations from disposing
Of their cotton except through the
association. Temporary injunc-
tons had been secured against six
members in Texas and against sew
eral in Oklahoma some time back.
In North Carolina a desperate ef-
fort was made by enemies of the
Tri-Ssate Tobacco Association TO
have dissolved an Injunction which
had been issued against Two men-
bers OF the association. Several OF
the ablest lawyers in the state
were employed in the effort TO
have the contract declared uncon-
