Boy Finnegan and Charlie Holman
for the 12-round feature bout Thurs
day night at the Berwyn arena.
OF all the shows staged at Sport

Holman and Finnegan. Both scrap
pers have a flock of followers here
abouts and each has moved down an
array of formidable opponents.
Honey Boy Finnegan has agreed to
make 126 pounds, while Holman prob
ably will enter the ring pounds
lighter. Holman has never met a
tougher opponent than Finnegan,
who packs a real wallop from the
port side. Young Coster and Luke
Tenner both southpaws, have met
defeat at the hands of Holman, but
the fans expect Finnegan to topple

Cooling then took the youngster in
hand and groomed him for the water
sports which are held in the casino
each week. Des Jardins was an apt
pupil and in no time was doing all
kinds of dives Today he can do at
all well.
An AII-Around Diver.
His specialties-and the ones which
won him a place on the Olympic
team-are the swan dive, the back
dive, front jack. and one and one-half
and two and one-half front dives.
Pete is equally proficient, however,
in doing a back double somerSault,
standing and flying Dutchman dives.
side and side-twisting dives, hand
stand and others.
Pete has never before taken part
in any competitions outside of the
State Of Florida When the girls of
the Women's Swimming Association
OF New York and of the Illinois Ath-
letic Club came to Miami last winter
Freddie Spongoerg, former Olympic
fancy and high diving champion and
also champion of Sweden, went along
to coach them in diving.
During the week the girls were
there, little Pete had the opportunity
to do his stuff. Spongberg and the
girls were surprised, to put 1t mildly.
Spengberg took the lad in hand and
gave him some valuable instruction
which undoubtedly had much to do
with Pete winning his 1aurels.
A week later Billy Bachrach came
to Miami with, Johnny Weismuller
and Stubby Kruger, Olympic stars
They, too, gave the lad some good
advice. All said Pete would have a
fine chance of making the Olympic
team il he could get to Indianapolis
Send Him to Trials
Messrs. Milne and MCGOWAN of
Newport, owners of the Miami Beach
Casino, then held a benefit to send
Pete to the national championships
in Chicago and to the Olympic trials
in Indianapolis.
Facing the best divers in the coun-
try, it would not have been greatly
surprising IL little Pete had failed to
win any honorS. But showing the
same calmness and nerve he displays
in all of his dives, the Florida boy
finished second to AL White, Stanford
University, star, and the best diver
the world has ever seen.
Then, again, in the Olympic games,
despite a bad start in the prelimi-
nary or eliminating rounds, Pete got
going and again finished second to
the great Al White.
With the experience he has gained
this season, des Jardins is sure to
improve, and four years from now,
when he will be only 20 years of
age, he will probably clean up ali
opposition in the Olympic games.

The first step in perfecting the arm
stroke is to bend at the elbows and
keep the arms closer to the water as
the drive.
Instead of sweeping them along
fully outstretched and high in the
air, they should be folded imme-
diately upon leaving the water at
the end OF the propelling movement.
AS each clears the surface, the
forearm is thrust outward (away
from body) and around, so that it
describes approximately one-half of
a circle, with elbow still. Then, when
the forearm points forward, the ell
bow begins to glide ahead very slow
above surface.
This bending act is very important,
as the balance of the whole body de-
pends partly upon it, so 1t should be
practiced until properly mastered.
After that the various parts Of arm
action should be studied in turn, but
devoting to each intermittent atten-
ton, so that all will be improved pro-
portionately as progress is made.
Apart from the folding motion in the
recovery. which because of its in
fiuence on the entire stroke must be
acquired first OF all 1t is not advisa-
BILE to concentrate exclusively for any
length OF time on any detail during
the novitiate. Results are far more
satisfactory when the whole stroke
develops evenly.
