BY TOM WEBB.

Famous U. 8. Coast Guard Swimmer.
rTHIS is my last lesson for you
and again the subject is life
l. saving.
Carefully avoid getting in posi-
ton where the victim, who may be
terrified and hysterical, can get a
dangerous hold on you. He may get
hold of your wrist. Promptly break
this hold by applying sudden pres
sure on the holders thumb.
He may get back strangle hold
the worst Of all.
If he does get this hold, work fast
to break It. Try bending back his
fingers until the pain is such that he
releases you. II this doesn't work
you can bump his head or nose with
the back Of your head. The sudden
pain will make him break. AS soon
as you have broken such a hold, get
behind him at once and apply the
cross chest hold described in yester-
days lesson. If he struggles further,
duck him.
These methods may seem brutal.
They are, in fact. But remember
when a drowning person gets a dan
gerous hold on his rescuer then two
lives and not one are at stake, and
brutal methods are to be resorted to
In such emergencies.
But learn to be Nve-saver without
getting into a trap-the trap of let
ting the victim clamp a dangerous
hold on you.
A competent life guard knows how
to perform a rescue so that it really
looks easy and you can. too. Now,
good bye and good luck. little fish.

COMEBACK IN RING
BY WALKER LIKELY

NEW YORK, July mickey
Walkers future is interesting the
many boxing fans who have always
liked the former welter king, not
only because of the stuff he showed
in the ring but because Of his quail
ties of personality.
Mickey is only "a years old, has
not as yet had any habits fixed on
him that he cannot break, and with
his ability to hit and his gameness
there is no reason why he should not
pc an attraction for some time to
come.
Mickey never did make the money
that he Nigh have made as q cham
pion, because soon after he came into
the title his manager. the clever little
Jack Bulger. died. and Walkers af-
fairs thereafter were not handled up
to the hilt until Jack Kearns took
hold Of him. And 1t was not long
before Latzo took his title away.
It will be interesting to see what
Kearns does If he stays with Walker
they don't come any more clever
than Dapper Jack when he takes the
trouble to use his head.

The trouble is that the lights when

as the fight game is concerned.

fiery Col. Prelan, chairman OF the

he is getting ready to shoot lew

Tunney, according to the gossips,
told the colonel last March that he
would go through with a match with
Jack Sharkey of Boston. But he ola

pleasant when he wants to be and ne
may insist that Tunney keep his
word before he is permitted to DO
business in the Empire State.
one thing is certain; If Tunney ex-
pects to fight Dempsey this summer
with any hope Of securing substantial
support from the public as a serious
contender, he must meet at least Two
good men, say Sharkey and JACK De-
laney. prior to his championship title

Tunney sorely needs couple OF

the conclusion that these two battles

BASE BALL SECRETS

The outf1elder who is called
upon to throw a ball home in order
to head off a runner should place
his throw so that the ball comes
on a long bounce to the catcher.
That makes il easy for him to
handle. Furthermore, ball thrown
in this way seems to gain added
speed as it rebounds from the dia
mond into the catcher's nit. The
difficulty with the direct throw Is
to keep it on the right line. One
is more likely to overthrow or to
feed the catcher nasty ball which
strikes the ground just forward Of
his reach and is difficult for him to

All during the ceremony Sonia
had thought, "Soon it will be over.
Then I'll have nothing more to
worry about"
Dons strong, supple fingers held
hers confidently. She could feel
courage streaming into her tired
nerves. . Then it was over, and Don
was kissing her on the lips. That
kiss was a surprise. She had not
expected it. And it startled her out
of her peaceful dreaming. In spite
of her effort, color surged into her
cheeks. But he did not seem to
notice. He was talking with the
minister. No doubt the kiss was
necessary. A part Of the ceremony!
But deep in her heart she felt a
stirring uneasiness. There had been
more than fatherly affection in that
kiss.
When they had left the parson-
age and driven away, he said, Say
where, Sonia. Shall we drive
around for a bit?"
But she was TOO nervous TO ride.
The slightest noise terrified her. Size

He had the wisdom to make no
reply. He asked no questions.
When they reached the small hotel
where they were to stay, she found
that he had been thoughtful enough
to order two rooms, connected by a
bath. There were yellow roses on
her dressing table, another great
bowl of them on her desk.

His nonchalant manner kept up
her morale. She unpacked her bag,
which had been rescued from the
wreck. The sight OF those articles
she had expected to use at Frank
Inns shack, sickened her. She would
buy others tomorrow. She wished
she might never have to see them
again.
When she was ready for bed, she
threw the old negligee over her
night gown and went to Don's door.
