Honor Three Heroes
BY Winnipeg Streets

Winnipeg, Man. Aug. % (AP)-
The bravery of three Winnipeg war
riors, who fought with the Canadian
forces during the World War, will be
impressed upon posterity with per-
manent and unique memorial.
1t was recently discovered that
three of Winnipeg's sons who earned
the Victoria Cross had lived on the
same street within a block of each
other during peace times. Residents
of the street, determined upon honor
ing their memory. petitioned the civic
authorities for permission to change
the name of the street to "Valor
Road" The request was granted and
on the initiative of the Women's
Canadian club a memorial lamp has
been unveiled at the intersection of
the newly nmed street and Portage
avenue.
Only one of the three returned at
the cessation of hostilities, that being
Lieut.-Col. Robert Shankland. The
other two, F. w. Hall and Leo Clark,
paid the supreme sacrifice.

OF EDERLE
Channel Water Men Believe
She Was Too Obvious

CAPE GRIs.NEZ, Aug. ia
Her dazzling speed and superb con.
fidence, factors that were expected
to bring Miss Gertrude Ederle,
seventeen.year.old American girl,
the honor Of being the first woman
to conquer the English Channel,
were the chief reasons for her
failure, Channel water men said
today.
The powerful crawl stroke that
made the fret half of the crossing
the fastest ever recorded by a.
Channel swimmer, man or woman,
left her without the reserve to
breast the last half of the swim.
Her robust energy and her con-
fidence, say those who watched her
skim playfully through the water,
led her to disregard or meet with
airy banter the instructions and
cautionings Of Jabez Wolfe, her

HIS STYLE BAD,
BUT SIMMONS
IS STAR
Charlie Paddock Also "AII
Wrong" and So Is
Arnie Borg

How often have you heard the
expression, His form is terrible,
he'll never get anywhere" That's
what the experts said about Al
Simmons when he came to Connie
Mack's team in 1924 from the Mil
waukee club, yet Al hit 1908 in
152 games in his first year in the
majors. This year he is among
the first half dozen or so home
run hitters and is batting around
$50.
All Simmons bats with one foot
in the water bucket" which, in
baseball slang, means that he pulls
away from the plate with his front
foot Batters are supposed to step
into the ball" But Simmons uses
the longest bat in major league
baseball, which counteracts his
pulling away. Simmons is an tx-
ample of a ballplayer who is a
success in spite OF the fact that he
has poor form.
Firpos form was terrible; he had
scarcely anything but a clubbing
right-hand blow which he "tele.
graphed" before using, yet he
fought his way to hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars.
Charlie Paddock runs all wrong.
and Arnie Borg swilns all wrong.
According to form as it is taught
in sprinting and swimming, yet
both hold many worlds records.
In 1915 the rowing experts gave
the Stanford crew the merry "Ha
Ha" before the Poughkeepsie re-
gatta, yet the westerners finished
second, close to Cornell.
Good form isn't always neces-
sary to success, except in one
sport--GOLF.
