An old time Washington swim
mer who used to make all the
fish jump out of the Potomac
with jealousy every time he
plunged into race explains
the victory of George Young in
that Catalina Channel swim as
being due to his resistance
to cold water.
We refer to Everett B. Ans
ley, cancer and swimmer par
excellence in these parts a dec
tade ago. Ansley is convinced
that Young had that race won
before he stepped into the chill
water off Catalina Island be-
cause of the lads experience in
Canadian streams which never
run much of temperature.
Ansley believes Young would
win again against the same
field because of his fortitude
against the chill which has been
a part of his training. He
doesn't believe Young would
fare so well in a Potomac swim
during the month Of August.
In the story of George
Young's triumph and the events
leading up to it, Bill Hastings,
his lifelong pal, describes a few
of the major swimming. strug-
giles which helped prepare
Young for the most gruelling
test of his sportive career, and
each of them was fought in or
around the Canadian border.
The st. Lawrence and Lake On
tario have been the scenes Of
most of Young's competition.

The Elliotts' enterprise is due in
great measure to the splendid leader
ship of young Elmer Leon. who has
been successful also as an all-around
athlete.
Leon Is a yOungster of striking
appearance and personality. His
hair is parted cOnspicu0usly by
q streak Of gray, and therein lies
an interesting story. The cause
Of that premature grayness, it is
said, was an odd accident that
befell him i'm childhood.
He was riding in a buggy when the
horse went cuckoo. The runaway
tangled with an automobile. Little
Elmer was thrown from the buggy
into the path Of street car. The
fender saved him from the wheels.
He was pushed along in front Of the
car, rolling over and over.
The boy looked at death at least
three times in quick succession, and
the experience left on him a mark
that is peculiar to people who have
undergone great mental stress.

However, under baseball rules five
days remain before such a player S
name goes down on the ineligible list
filed with Judge Lands. Conse-
quently, President Griffith, declines
to lose much sleep over the slowness
of some Of his athletes in signing for
the 1927 season.
1t is not new for Muddy Ruel to
protest against salary terms offered
for days and days at Tampa against
the clubs offer. He is apparently
working along the same line this
year.
Ruel is one of lhe cIassiest catch
ers in major league baseball. He Is
also one of the best paid players
with the Washington club, and has
been ever since the Griffs found their
place in the sun. II Is understood
that his 1917 contract is. not as fat
Rs that of 1925 and this is the sore
place. He does not want to stand
for q cut, even for one season.
Fred Marberry's grievance is
q mystery. 1t is unlikely that
he has had his salary reduced,
having not yet been ranked
among the highly.paid, 1t is be.
leved that Marberry's complaint
rests upon the raise granted
him. the big Texan believing he
should draw down more Jack
than his contract demands.
There is small doubt as to Cove
leskie's complaint. He has been
asked to stand for a substantial
cut. The veteran sp:tballer drew
big money in 1925, and earned it.
He was tho American Leagues best
pitcher, both in WANING percentage
and in efficiency totals. His per-
Torrance was excellent, from every
angle
Coveleskie, like Johnson, failed to
get started last spring. Indeed, un-
like. johnson, he never did get
started. though he won IA out of Is
games and was surpassed only by
Fred Marberry eor efficiency.
Covey's mark was S.12 as against
800 for the Texan.
With the 1925 titleholders Covey
won 90 ind lost games and his
efficiency mark was 284. His fail.
ure to maintain that standard was
one of the reasons for the failure
of the Griffs to finish better than
fourth last year. THUS far Covey
has failed to sign, though he will
probably do so in time to go to
Tampa.
