Swimming Season Opens.

The 1880 swimming season will open
on the 18th when the HerSeth men
journey to Aurora for their first meet
OF the year. Although prospects
looked poor at the start of practice
several new swimmers have been I'M
covered by Coach Herseth and through
ms tutelage the regulars have been
shattering several of their own records
which brightenS things up consider
ably. The boys should have little
trouble in coming through with a
victory over the Aurora team who
have been swimming only couple of
seasons On the 18th the boys will
have the strong Hibbing team as their
first home opponent and will be facing
one OF the strongest high school swim
ming teams in the country Hibbing
always has team that can give any,
one run for their money and this
year seems no exception for the team
from the big village. Altho the locals
Will be given only an outside chance
to cop their meet, they will at least
let their opponents know they are in
swimming meet and Hibbing will
have to give their best to come through
with victory.
On the 18th the boys will journey
10 Gilbert to meet the boy splashers
from that city in what should prove
TO be a close meet. Gilbert although
never champions are usually able to
hold their own in swimming and
always break even in their seasons
schedule. The boys will have to give
everything to bring home the bacon.
put nevertheless we predict that they
will.

GUARDIAN ASKED
FOR LADY HEATH
Skull Injury Blamed for Re-
ported Incompetence
of AWatrix.

BY The Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, July ga petition for
the appointment of guardian on file
in court declares that Lady Mary Heath,
who flew from London to Cape Town,
is incompetent and is in hospital at
Mentor receiving treatment for nervous
disorders
Her condition is believed to have
been caused by a severe skull injury
suffered here last September when an
airplane she was testing for the Great
Lakes Aircraft Corporation fell through
roof. For several days she was at
the point of death and her recovery
was doubted.
She recovered sufficiently, however,
to deliver numerous addresses in this
country. She returned to Cleveland
last May after obtaining divorce de-
cree at Reno, New, from Sir James
Heath, TO-
At the time of her return her health
was believed good. No intimation of
her condition was revealed until yes
terday. when her nurse and constant
companion. Miss Florence Madden, Pc
titioned Cuyahoga County Probate Court
here for appointment of a guardian.
The petition alleged Lady Heath was
incompetent by reason of mental dis
orders" and that she had entered the
sanitarium Thursday.
A waiver of notice in the guardian
ship was signed by Ophra Pepper, Lady
Mary's aunt. in Canada.
The guardian would control q trust
fund from which Lady Mary receives
an annual income of $500, according
to the petition.

No longer will it be necessary for the
police reporters at the District Build
ing to steal the electric fan which
cools the furrowed brows of the head
quarters detectives. Satan, so to speak,
has been put behind the sweltering
scribes by official order of Commission
er Herbert B. Crosby, who is under
stood to have been deeply moved when
he learned of the pitiable plight Of
the newspaper men.
During the recent hot spell the
temperature in the press room scared
to dizzy heights. A reporter, who
placed personal comfort above honor.
removed the electric fan from the
detectives squad room. Here was q
serious matter, for the squad room was
no cooler than the press room.
Detective Finds No Clues.
Detective H. H. Carper was assigned
to the case. He investigated, but un-
covered no promising clues. 1t seems
that the reporters stationed a watch on
the press-room door and hid the pur-
Joined fan in locker whenever the har-
ried investigator drew near their sane
tuary. ~~ the gentlemen of the press
overlooked the one factor which has
proved the undoing of far more capable
criminals.
On the day after the theft an under
cover agent came into the press room
