Fame of Flyer Short-H0ed

struck some wires nosing into the ground
This was not so serious, however, as the flyer
was accompanied by q baggage car that trav-
eled over the railroad route he was following.
Sufficient parts were on hand to build an entire
new plane If necessary.
At Middletown, Rogers was presented with
vest made Of tanned sheepskin with the wool
side in, manufactured by o local tannery in
anticipation Of his arrival A purse was COL
lected in the town also and pressed to him be-
cause Of the gratitude the city felt over the
honor Of being selected for his first stop.
Rogers gradually made his way West only
to lose his life . few days after completing the
trip. He was giving an exhibition flight over
San Francisco Bay when sea gull became
wedged in one Of his struts and caused the
plane to plunge into the water, carrying him to
his death.

THE marking Of the seventh anniversary Of
the start Of COL Hndbergh's fight across
the Atlantic recalls another flight famous IN its
time, but now almost forgotten, the first flight
across the United States.
This flight was made by Cal Rogers pioneer
airman who made the unheard-of flight in
short hops. viewed in the light of modern
flying, but considered epochal about q quarter
Of a century ago.

which had no cabin or cockpit the flyer sitting
out in the open in the middle Of the framework
of his biplane.
His first hop was from Mineola to Middle
town. N. Y, a distance of about 70 miles. He
rested from his arduous journey over night and
started on the next day. Unfortunately his
plane failed to gain sufficient altitude and

comprises however country scenes in which
figures and action are skillfully introduced.
Some of these pictures have already been shown
in public exhibitions, but the majority are new.
NESPITE the lateneSs Of the season at the
- conclusion of these exhibitions a fortnight
hence the director of the Art League Mr. Val
Clear will place on view In these galleries a
collection Of paintings by Ernest Lawson Of
New York, who is represented In the Phillips
Memorial Gallery, the Corcoran Gallery Of Art
and other art museums throughout the country.
This will consist Of is small oil paintings
priced extremely low and few important loans.
It should prove an important event.
THIS is the season of exhibitions Of student
work The Corcoran School opens its ex-
hibition today In the Corcoran Gallery of Art
and will continue it until June 10, inclusive.
The much-coveted Corcoran prizes were awarded
by a special jury yesterday and have been an
nounced in news columns These awards are
no longer, as in former years, tremendously
announced and bestowed and a very interesting
and picturesque occasion is thus lost to that
portion of the public privileged to attend. The
work done in the Corcoran School is primarily
academic but Of a very high standard.
The work Of pupils of the Gallery School is
now on view at Studio House. where it may be
seen to and through the 31st Of this month.
This work is inspired chiefly by study of the
works of old and modern masters in the Phillips
Memorial Gallery and represents individual ad-
venturing in good company and under guidance
which never becomes restrictive.
The art work of little children will be shown
at 2100 Bancroft place on Tuesday afternoon
from to O'Clock. This will comprise the
work of Margaret Yards little pupils, who pro-
duce what seem to their elders miraculous re-
suits by unconscious effect and free play of
imagination. The intent, obviously. is to teach
the art of seeing and afford facility for ade-
quate individual expression.

son, only to jump back in again, this time at third, when Johnny Vergez had another of his unlucky breaks.
 Big Three
 Out of the lot of young third basemen, three stand out as the class of hot corner guardians. They are Frank Higgins, Marvin owen and Cecil Travis.
 It's mighty tough to select the best of this trio, but just now Hig- gins seems to be outstanding. With only one year of major league ex- perience under his belt, he is hit- ting at a clip that puts him among the first six hitters in the Ameri- can circuit, and his fielding was so sensational that he was selected to play on the American League all- star team.
 Travis ranks right behind Hig- gins. He, too, has only a year of major league experience, and last year didn't see regular action. He is hitting few points higher than Higgins, but his fielding isn't so steady.
 owen, while hitting around .33O, is below the first two in the swat department, but his fielding. has been the talk of the league& Like Higgins and Travis, he has had only one year of big league back ground.
 He probably Is the most im- proved ball player in the loop this season, and fits perfectly into Mickey Cochrane's smooth-running machine.

EXPERT FAVORS SWIM MING AS
 PERFECT SPORT
Alabafnan Advocates Inc diligence in It During
 Vacation Days

Birmingham, Ala (UP)-Swim- ming is the most nearly perfect sport for everyone, Dr J. D. Dow ling, health officer, contends, in advocating pool, stream and beach for summer vacationists.
 Swimming not only is good for the external muscles" said the physician. ''It strengthens and develops all of the machinery of the body. such as hte heart muscles.
 ''The lungs are benefited by the vigorous exercise demanded of the respiratory muscles in swimming. An anemic person can find no more appropriate sport than swim ming.
 "Paradoxically, a fat person may gain by swimming. This is caused by building up of small muscles, while fat tissues are torn down.
 The aquatic sport is restful if not indulged in too strenuously, the official explained. It affords relaxation to certain muscles that ordinarily are overworked, he said.
 "When a person swims," Dr Bowling continued, 'his body is perfectly supported. The body's weight is removed from spine mus c1es which thus are removed from their normal tension"
 Dr Bowling, himself a skilled swimmer, warned against certain uhases of the water sport.
 Like every other human activ- ity, swimming, to be a health benefit rather than menace, must be done according to Hoyle, /" the physician asserted. "There are rules to follow

Time was when a veteran in- fielder who had lost his zip, but still had a good noodle on his shoulders, would be shifted from second to short down to third. This was evident in the case of little Joe Sewell, who, when he slowed up at short for Cleveland, was shifted to third and stayed there until his last active year in 1888 with the Tanks.
 l More recently this was demon- strated in the Yankee lineup, when Tony LaSzeri was moved from sec- ond to third to make room for young Don Heffner, and later rele- gated to the bench in favor of Joe Saitzgaver.
 Ranks Depleted
 You'll find only a few graybeards swinging creaking joints into action at third today. Willie Kamm, at 34, is playing the hot corner for the Indians = although his underpin- ming is beginning to protest long and loudly; Jimmy Dykes is doing 8 steady trick at third for the White Sox at the age of 38; Pie TfAynor still cuts up at the far turn for the Pirates despite 35 years on his shoulders, and Ossie Bluege and Marty McManus, ale though not graybeards, are play ing third every now and then with only a flash of the staff they show ed in their hey.days.
 Take a look at the third base. man in the majors. Jack Saltzgav- CT, 2S, is filling in for Lazzeri in the Yankee lineup; Cecil Travis, 20, is making quite name for himself in Ossie Bluege's place at Washington; Frank Higgins, 25, Connie Mack's find, is heralded as the greatest third sacker to come up in years; Harland Gift, 21, is making Rogers Hornsby smile; Marvin owen, 36, is one reason why the Tigers are in the thick of the American League fight: Stanley Hack, 25, is a standby of the Cubs ;Bucky Walters, 2S. brought up by the Red Sox from the Pacific Coast loop for $10,000, went to the Phillies and is doing . good job.
 Besides these is Blondy Ryan, 26, who, after playing sensational ball at short for the Giants last year, was pushed out of the pic- ture by the return of Travis Jack

The present series. which is even at two games each with one to go. while not deliriously suc- cessful. is the best to date. The Cubs still hold an advantage of seven victories to six, while the Cards have beaten the Giants seven times and lost four. But even more important is the fact that the Giants seem to have stemmed an- other wave of winning upon which the Cubs were well launched. They had beaten Pittsburgh three to one and Boston by the same mar gin-six wins in eight games.
 Not So Bad
 No matter what happens. New York will be at least a full game series; if they win today they will manently halt the aggressive Cubs. for the champions.
 Roy Parmelee, fresh out of a hospital, smote home run in the seventh inning with the bases load ed yesterday, which did the trick, kinning the first game 5-3. Bill Lee pitched the Cubs to 2-1 win in the nightcap. Parmelee pitched a nat game in the opener, giving seven hits and flaming five.
 Lon Koenecke's home run in the seventh won for Brooklyn over the St. Louis Cards 7-6. breaking up six-all tie. Joe Medwick also homered.
 Curt Davis shut out the Cincin- nati Reds, giving Philadelphia it's fifth straight win TO. Curt also clouted a home run which bounced

off the centerfield fiagpole in the second inning.
 On the Top
 The Detroit Tigers continued to move steadily ahead in the Ani- erican League race, beating Wasfl- ington 4-3 while the Tanks were losing in Cleveland. Carl Fischer gave eight walks, all Senator runs being put aboard by free trips to first.
 Cleveland drove Johnny Broaca off the hill in two innings and con- tinued their assault on Dan Mac- Fayden, another bespectacled Yam kee, winning 13-5. The Tanks dropped a game and half behind the Tigers.
 Yves Terrell beat the White Sox behind Boston's timely hitting, Lary and Cissell driving in four runs in the fourth, enough to win. Score 6-2.
 Philadelphia lost to St. Louis C. 4, inspite of the heavy gunning of the Athletics, who rang up three homers in the fourth-Bob John- son, Jimmy Foxx and Pinky Hig- gins, in order. It was Johns 2sth, Foxx's 27th.

Don't keep the head down too long.
 Keeping the head down is fine practice, but when the player an- chors it, he runs the risk of hav- ing the right shoulder blocked as the ball is struck. Those golfers not used to keeping the head down tighten the muscles in the neck and shoulders, allowing no free dom between the head and should CTS. Naturally, their backswing will be abbreviated, and free turn of the body in the downswing will be checked.
 Try a practice swing, forcibly keeping the head down throughout thes wing, and you soon will see the point.
