WATER POLO TEAM
LAUDED BY HODGES
Many of 1882 Prize Squads
Again in Game.

In an analysis of the 1882 water
polo team Francis T. Hodges, form
er director of life saving, Indian
apolis chapter, American Red Cross,
has this to say about some of the
players chosen for the all-city team,
many of whom are playing again
this year.
"Schrader of Rhodius was the
most accurate goal shot in the city
He remained in the forward posi-
ton most of the game allowing his
team mates to work the ball up to a
scoring position Lynch of Willard
was the most spectacular player of
the year His driving rushes were
hard to stop"
In the center position, J. Mot
singer of Rhodius was outstanding.
AS captain he kept his team well
organized. He was faultlesS in his
passing and fell back to guard When
ever his team was on the defensive.
outstanding guards were few.
The men have not been educated in
the game sufficiently to realize the
Importance of strong defense. Mills
of Rhodius, 1 believe, was the out
standing player of the whole city
His playing was almost f1awleSs."

Self Government Plan to
Open With Election of
CounSeIorS.

Self government among the chill
dren attending Indianapolis play
grounds, pools and beaches is now
in the experimental stage with an
election of child officials to be held
in ten days if the experiment proves
satisfactory.
Under the direction of Clifford
Courtney, supervisor Of Fairgrounds
children are being appointed tenta-
lively at the Fairgrounds and
beaches to act as counselors.
A record is kept of each childs
ability, and, with his application,
is filed weekly with H. W. Middles-
worth, director Of recreation.
The self government system as
tentatively planned will be a coun-
Gil of three boys and three girls for
each recreation center. The cOun-
Gil will work under the direction of
the supervisors and instructors but
will have a definite voice in the
government.
Middlesworth devised the self
government plan as q result of the
drastic cuts made in recreation ap-
preparation in the annual budget.
With only half his playground
force of instructors available this
year as compared to last, Middles-
worth was forced to develop some
expedient to supervise activities
The self-government system was
the result.
In these experiments the chill
dren seem to be shaping up very

GIRL ATHLETES

Recreation Head Says Boys

Sex at Parks.

A flock of potential Babe
Ditricksons and Gertrude Ederles
are being trained at the Indianap-
oils Fairgrounds and beaches, &C
cording to H. w. Middlesworth, city
director of recreation.
This prophecy was made after
watching a flaxen-haired little girl
of 10 swim nearly perfect six
beat crawl stroke in Garfield park
pool.
That kid swimS like hundreds of
others who have Just learned the
rudlments of the Australian crawl"
said Middlesworth. Notice the per-
feet timing of her arms and legs
and the way she breathes. It won't
be long now before some of these
Indianapolis youngsters are ready
for big-time competition"
In drawing a comparison between
the athletic abilities of the girls of
yesteryear and their sisters of 1888.
MiddleSworth pointed out that
many of the total of nearly half a
million girls who attend the CITY
pools are as capable as the bows.
we have many little girls who
can outjump and outrun the bows
he declared. When it comes tn
swimming I'll put my money on the
girls any time. They seem to pick
up sWimming-that is The crawl
stroke, which is universally taught
in the playgronds-much faster
than the boys.
The average girl takes her ath-
letlcs seriously. When a girl sets
out to perfect new dive or
swimming stroke, we notice she
STICKS to it. Boys are more inclined
to waste their time with horse
play"
Bullying by older boys who raid
the Fairgrounds while the children
are learning games, and night raids
by hoodlumS, who break locks and
steal and destroy playground euuip-
ment, are the chief problem at the
Fairgrounds" Middlesworth revealed.
we don't have any trouble with
the younger children" he said. but
these older boys-really men. who
nave no business at the plav-
grounds-cause us concern. The
police have co-operated, but still
they come"

@. K. Officer
Official, Cop Embarrassed
After Car Parking
Encounter.

II OGAN SCHOLL, member of
IL the park board, recently re-
turned from trip around the
world.
Perhaps that is the reason po-
liceman Don Corliss chased him
for miles around Riverside golf
course, Tuesday, and caused Scholl
considerable embarrassment. Or,
perhaps the trouble was that Cor
liSs is new on the force.
Anyhow, when Scholl was be-
ginning to get kick out of his
approach shots on the seventh
hole Corliss walked up to him in
the imperious manner, peculiar to
cops, and demanded the reason for
Scholl parking his car in a pro-
hibited place.
Scholl explained that he was
merely one of the officials of the
city park, but obligingly moved
the car for the abashed copper.

Fishing Great in Canada,
Word From Charlie Diver
Trout Fairly Battle to Be
Caught, Message From
Angler.
BY LEFTY LEE
Times Fishing Editor

A fairy sounding story of fishing,
that all anglers would like to en-
counter in reality, comes from
Charley Diver, who, with his wife,
is enjoying his vacation at the Rob-
ertson and Son camp at Pointe
Blue, Canada.
Diver tells of trout being as thick
in the streams there as sixty dozen
minnows in a two-gallon can and
he really means it. His letter tells
of his wife leaving three flies on
her leader and landing three trout,
from three-quarters to pound and
quarter, at one time.
Muskies twice have broken his
line, says Diver, and he landed a
rty-eight-pound salmon, using a
speckled trout for bait.
The guides troll with a big spoon
hook tied to heavy line and
"horse them in" when they want a
big one. For eating purposes, how
ever, the guides enjoy the eight to
ten-inch trout, boiling them with
onions and potatoes.
They have bear and moose meat
and fish at any time they want
them.
In closing, Diver says that his
wife has a bear cub 2 months old
for a pet, but can not pet it much
as it already bites too hard.
Before coming up for air, get the

1890 Persons Take Dips at Garfield
Park on Monday.

All records for attendance were
broken at Garfield park swimming
pool Monday when 1890 persons
are estimated to have taken dips
in efforts to escape the heat.
Life guards were forced to rope
off the area around the pool while
other attendants took up stations
to keep swimmers from crowding.
Eight hundred persons were allowed
in the pool at a time, but at one
point more than fifty lodged the
guards and jumped in.
Other pools throughout the city
also reported a heavy patronage.
Beaches were crowded to capacity.
