The Water
Nymph Club
By Merze Maruin Seeberger.
(Copyrlght, l925.)

No. 1.-The Best Suits to Wear.
OF course If you join the Water
Nymph Club you will want to get
suitable and sepsible bathing suits
first of all.
The one-piece suit is the only prac.
tical kind, to be sure, but for the
women and girls these should be pur-
chased with the little sewed-on skirts
which almost cover the trunk section
of the suit. The one-piece suits with
out the skirts should only be worn
In pools where only women and girls
participate. The suits should be
sleeveless. Even the smallest sleeves
or overarm straps bind the arms when
one is swimming the overarms, trud-
geon and crawl strokes, and also
when diving. As to shoes and stock
ings, follow the custom at the par
ticular pool or bathing beach you
patronize. 1t is easier to swim with
out them, however.
Now as to material Do avoid any
of silk combinations, even silk and
wool. They cling too closely to the
body when wet and permit the
body to chill easily. All wool is by
far the best investment. But be sure
to get your suits big enough. If
you are SO. buy 40. You have plenty
of chance to display your individual
ity in your choice colors.

to America"
In a special article the newspaper
Sporting Life says:
mo matter from what point of
view one looks at the situation, one
cannot help sympathizing with Hoov.
er, who is one of the finest men ever
to compete at Henley.
From the British point of view the
situation is a very unfavorable one,
If it is true as stated, that when Hoov-
er left America. ii was understood
that Beresford was willing to race on
June ~, and that on his arrival
Hoover found the race postponed and
was unable to get a definite state
ment as to when Beresford would
meet him.
IF Beresford did not intend to de
fend the trophy, surely he could have
broadcast the fact to the world before

The usual thing in open-air ex-

prices when uninteresting prelimi-
naries led up to the star bout.
Hospital Gets $4,000.
Considering that Fugazy's bouts
were supposed to be for charity. ii is
surprising that only $4,000 will find
its way toward the building of the
italian Hospital.
Tex Rickard staged set of bouts
for the milk fund, and turned in $50
900 out of a gate of S172, 900. There
is not a bit of doubt that the smart
managers got the most they could out
of FugaZy, but if the singer were to
stick TO the boxing rules of New York
State and pay off the fighters accord
Ingly. he would get back at the ava
ricious managers good and plenty.
The New York State Athletic Com
mission has a rule defining all bouts
preceding the star bout as prelimi-
naries, and the rule is that all boxers
appearing in the prelims are to be
paid no less than SO per round for
each round in which they participate.
If this ruling were enforced in the
case of the preliminary bouts at the
Italian Hospital Fund show charity
would receive lot more money than
II will if the rule is not observed.
Weinert and Slattery were fighting
for 10 per cent of the net and will
receive in the neighborhood of $4,000
each for their brief appearance. But
If Fugazy wanted to be mean these
two boxers would fill the air with
howls over the remuneration they
would receive for their appearance.

press agent with a vivid imagina-
ton has sent out story that Harry
Wills returned 5 per cent of his purse.
Both Wills and his manager, Mullins,
are great newspaper readers, yet they
declare they never heard a word about
Harry's generosity.
Wills, as a matter of fact, had very
few chances at big money. Then, too,
he has been tied up in the stable SO
long that the money due him will be
regular windfall
Both Wills and Mullins know they
are not going to get very many. If
any, more chances to cut in on lus-
cious melons, and, therefore, are not
likely to give up any part of what
they have in hand.
Outside of a crack at George God
