Third and Church Streets.

A new swimming pool was proposed
by the Park Commissioners at their
meeting yesterday afternoon TO be con-
structed az ED and Church streets TO be
the largest and best equipped pool IN
the city. IL is proposed TO model Il af-
ter a pool near Baltimore.
The Park Commissioners have de-
cided TO build new swimming pool on

made for the preliminary work. The
property which they propose TO obtain
belongs 20 the Woodlawn Trustees OF
whom William p. Bancroft is presi-
dent. They hope 10 obtain a plot of
ground OF several acres in extent.

MISS FRANCES TATNALL
In Swan Dive
BY Leroy +. Sparks.

There is probably no pastime that
has come into so great popularity dur
ing the past three years in Whining
ton as swimming. Actual records Of
the attendance at the y. NJ. G. A. and
the city pools show that the attend
ance has increased three fold. Dur
ing the present hot weather the people
are swarming TO these places and
they are crowded to the limit.
Ii was just three years ago that the
Y. NJ. c. A. conducted the first city
wide swimming campaign. George H.
Corsan. who has taught. according
10 statistics OF the international Com
mittee OF the y. NJ. G. A.. more than
three hundred thousand persons to
swim. was secured as instructor FOR
this campaign. He was assisted by
the members of the Physical Depart
ment staff which was at that time
composed OF c. Walter Kadel. Leroy
+. Sparks, and John Pierson.
Mr.. Corsan spent two weeks in
Wilmington. He devoted his entire
time during the first week TO in
structing tho school boys. The fol-
lowing week was devoted 10 the bust
ness men and women including both
the beginners and advanced swim
mers.
Corsan's campaign WAS marked
success both from the standpoint OF
attendance at classes as well as the
results achieved. In fact Il was such
a great success that the following
year joint committee composed of
representatives OF the American Red
Cross. Delaware Safety Council,
n. OF c. Community Service, Y. NJ. c.
! A. and several other welfare organiza-
/ tons Joined in a campaign on a much
larger scale. William b. Foster Of the
Y. NJ. c. A was elected as chairman
Of this joint committee.
| The planning and organizing of a
| campaign that was 10 require the use
of 1--WE swimming pools was a ire
I mendous task with an abundance OF
detail work. This work was under
the direction of Miss Mary Moran of
the local chapter OF the Red Cross
Commodore Longfellow. head of the
Life Saving Division OF the American
Red Cross, personally directed this
the largest swimming and life saving
campaign ever conducted in Whining
ton. Captain Fred G. Mills chief OF
the Atlantic Division OF the American
Red Cross Swimming and Life Saw
ing Department also assisted in the
direction OF the campaign.
Every pool was in charge of a pro.
fessional instructor who was assisted
by local men and women swimmer:
who had taken an intensive training
course in the Y. NJ. c. a. pool a weel
previous TO the campaign, under
Ernest Hale and John c. Pierson.
