portunity to increase their net re-
traffic lost through the operation of
the Panama canal.
No Injury Seen.
Permitting the railroads to bridge"
this transcontinental traffic can in no
way injure those intermountain sec
tions that can never hope to profit
by the lower rates through the canal.
Refusing the permission simply
means favoring the coast sections at
the expense of the interior. All of
the people pay for the canal. Under
the Gooding amendment the middle
west would be paying It's share for
the benefit of the comparative few SO
positioned as to enjoy its benefits.
That. in brief, Is the situation as 1t
confronts the Missouri country.
The western railroads and western
industries are not fighting the Pan
anna canal, propagandists to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. They are
fighting for existence and an equal
right to a continued growth and de-
velopment
If 1t is proper-and 1t Is so ad-
mitted--that the railroads should be
regulated, their rates fixed and then
wages they pay named by a board,
then it would seem proper that the
same regulatory bodies should have
power over the waterways. II It il
proper to tell railroad what 1t must
charge to carry freight. then It is
certainly proper to tell a steamship
line what 1t must charge for similar
service. Under present conditions
the railroads are confronted by COM
petition that Is unrestricted and un-
regulated; that may render service
it proves Improbable.
1t would seem, therefore, that
proper solution would be to adopt one
of two policies:
Allow the railroads to do as they
please, just as the steamship lines are
permitted TO do. Or extend the juris-
diction of the Interstate Commeece
commission to include the intercostal
steamship lines, making It obligatory
for the commission to establish and
maintain a parity that will deal justly
with railroad and steamship lines. and
maintain a balance between all sec
tions of the country.
The first policy Is unthinkable. The
second Is the common sense policy
and should be adopted. In the mean
time the appeal of the railroads to
make long haul rates should be IA
vorably acted upon and the Gooding
amendment should be defeated.

The race was two-horse affair
between Giblon and Princess Doreen
as they raced far out in the lead OF
their field from the time the barrier
lifted until they thundered under the
wire, still running neck and neck
Giblon shot away to a lead at the
start and maintained it until the fin

a time. but dropped behind on the
back stretch before the rush of Hal

FANCY DIVING TITLE
RECLAIMED BY WHITE

DETROIT, August 23-Albert c.
White of the Olympic Club, San Fran
cisco. displaying the same form and
ability that carried him to the high
est diving honors of the world in the
1924 Olympic games. regained the
national A. A. L. 1o-foot spring
board fancy diving championship to-
day at the Detroit Boat Club.
White lost the title in 1923 to Clar-
ence Pinkston, a fellow club member.
White WAS awarded the champion
ship by margain of eight points to-
day. over Pinkston, who was second.
Pete Des Jardines of Miami, Fla,
who finished second in the spring
board event at Paris. showed the
strain Of too much diving and trailed
the leaders by rs points, finishing
third.
Des Jardines, however, took first
place in the junior championship. He
easily outclassed the other entries
and the judges were unanimous in
their decision in awarding him first
place.
Real competition in the junior event
came in the struggle for second place.
which was given to Edward A. Smith,
Leland Stanford University, by d
fraction of point over Kenneth OK
ley, representing the Detroit Yacht
Club.
Edwardina Cranch, all around cham
pion of Michigan, who recently re-
turned from the Olympics, was the
outstanding performer in the women's
events, annexing first place in the
10o-yard free style championship and
the 50-yard free style open event.
Buffalo's championship team OF
women swimmers found the COM
petition too strong in the individual
events, but in a special match relay
race had no difficulty in outdistancine
the Women's Asquatic Club team.

WOMAN SWIMMERS
BREAK TWO MARKS

PITMAN, N. j., August 2s.-Two
championship records for woman
swimmers. one of them a national
title, were broken at the meet of the
Pitman Swimming Club, at Alcyon
Park today.
Agnes Geraghty, member of the
Olympic swimming team, and repre-
senting the Women's Swimming AS
sociation of New York, won the ma
tional 220-yard breast stroke cham
pionship for women by a new record
of minutes S5 LIS seconds.
Frances Clark of Philadelphia broke
her own record of minutes 27 As
seconds in winning the Middle At
lantic 440-yard championship for
women.
Horace Weir. boy swimmer, under
the colors Of the Germantown, Pa,
Boys Club, won the stellar event. the
national One-mfle championship for
men. He distanced the entire Held
but broke no records. Eugene Bolden
of the Illinois A. c., last years mile
champion, did not defend his title.
Robert Hesie Of the Brooklyn Central
Y. M c. A. won the national junior
baekstroke championship for men.

Heydler admitted he may be con-

facts to bear out his claim!

Apart from the fact that the supine
position of the swimmer necessitates
a poise of body different from that
of the crawl proper, and that the
movements naturally are reversed,
the back crawl greatly resembles it's
prone prototype.
The arms act alternately, executing
rather deep drive and an above
water recovery. The legs perform a
thrash similar to that of the crawl,
except inasmuch as they are bent
bit at thighs and knees instead Of
being held almost straight.
Granting that swimmer has
served his or her novitiate at the
crawl, as prescribed, it will be a very
simple matter to master on the back
the same type learned in prone posi-
tion.
The all-important requirement is
to discover supine body balance,
which varies with individuals, as
otherwise 1t is difficult to- stay af1oat,
let alone use the stroke effectively.
To find the wanted equilibrium the
swimmer should turn to floating, in
cline the head forward a little, then
seek to so adjust the body that the
hips will drop a bit, yet the knees
and pointed feet be close to the
surface.
A good idea of the approximate
position may be gained by sitting on
the very edge of an ordinary chair,
leaning shoulders against it's back
and thrusting out the feet as far as
they will go without the toes leav-
ing the floor. BY assuming this pos
ture in the water, then experiment.
ing with more or less droop at hips.
the wanted balance soon will be
found.
Then the legs only are set in mo-
tien. keeping the arms IT sides. The
drive adopted for the prone crawl
should be used, but working chiefly
with the lever part of the legs, SO

FISHING IS IMPROVING
AT CHESAPEAKE BEACH

Fishing at Chesapeake Beach con-
tines to improve as the Summer
grows shorter. The recent hot spell
has not contributed anything to the
success generally OF the fishermen or
to the comfort OF those who have
tried conclusions with the few
schools that feed around the shore
waters.
The greatest results have been OBJ
tanned by fishermen who have gone
out in boats At night. Capt.
Noah Hazard has had a number of
parties out in the channel and bar
waters who have brought in some
nice strings.
Trout are on the increase and q

that the knees will stay rather close
together always.
Like the crawl, the leg thrash
should be easy, and the swimmer must
guard against letting the feet sink
too deep, natural tendency in the
back crawl.

suffice to adjust the familiar kick to

IT'S WISE TURFMAN
WHO KNOWS HIS NAG

One OF the very many interesting
anecdotes concerning John W.
Gates. master plunger of the
American turf, deals with horse
hegave away and then bet against
which action cost him $4,000.
Lotus was the horse. He couldn't
do anything for Gates and the lat

erai weeks passed. Then Du Bois
hunted up Gates.
Lotus is in racing condition
right now" he informed Gates.
I've got Lotus entered today
and Lotus will win. I'm telling you
this so you can get a bet down
for yourself"
But Gates couldn't "see" Lotus.
He figured that a horse named
Yves was a certainty. He said so
to Du Bois.
Well. 1 don't think so," answered
Du Bois. I'm going to bet $4,000

what are the odds?" asked
Gates.
