Right now is the time I want
you to start kicking. Don't let
anyone tell you that kicking
doesn't help. Swimming one time
that kicking gets results, though
there must be a method to your
kicking, let us start by doing a
dead mans float, or glide, on the
surface of the water. Just take a
deep breath, then give yourself a
forward shove, or push with the
legs, off the bottom (if in a pool,
off side walD. Let your body fall
forward, face downward with
hands extended on the surface,
the legs straight out behind, and
big toes touching.
Don't Raise Head
Avoid raising the head as you
shove off. While gliding, the face
should remain in the water, both
ears resting between the arms. OF
course, you must hold your breath,
and have mouth closed while the
face is under water.
The momentum of the forward
shove will cause you to glide IS
to 20 feet on the surface. After
a few trials. start using the legs

in an up and down kick, a con-
tinuous and rapid thrashing, legs
straight, and toes turned in barely
brushing by each other, with only
a Slight flex at the knee. The drive
coming from the hips will give
a whip-like action. Do not feel
discouraged if you do not seem
to get much power at the start
with very little forward progress.
May Not Move
In fact, at the start you may
not do much better than remain
in one spot. But with practice
you will soon find yourself glid-
ing forward.
1t is hard to explain how to get
the power out of the leg-kick. 1t
can only be developed by constant

daughter, Sarah. Only Mrs. BoS-
ley saw the tragic ending Of the
thoroughbred, her children at the
time attending a horse show in
Baltimore.
The children rode Chase Me
from the time he was twoyear'
old. Much of his early breaking
to the saddle was done by Sarah
BoSley.
Sire Owned by Sinclair
Purchase, the sire of Chase Me,
was originally owned by Harry
F, Sinclair, the oil magnate, who
raced the famous RancocaS Stabls
several years ago.
Rigan Mckinney, famous mil.
lionaire steeplechase rider AMI
the owner of several thorough.
breds, and John Bosley, the hu5.
band of the famous sportwoman,
acquired the mare Mayanel which
was in foal to Purchase from one
of the sales of Harry F. Sinclair.
When Chase Me was born he
appeared to have a blemish on
one of his knees and although he
grew into a splendid animal, Nj.
Mckinney didn't think much CT
him, and one day gave his share
of him to Sarah Bosley.
A little later, Mrs. BoSley, who
owned a horse that Mr.. BoSley
admired, made an even trade. Sd
Chase Me then became the prop
erty of Mrs. Bosley and her
daughter.
Won Blue Ribbons
AS Chase Me passed from a
two-year-old into a three-year-olC,,
no attempt was made to race him.
He was hunted by the mother and
daughter and fenced in faultless
fashion. Mrs. Bosley exhibited
Chase Me at several horse shows
in Baltimore county and he was
awarded many blue ribbons.
Chase Me turned into a four
year-old on January !, 1888. He
was hunted that winter and in
the spring he was a picture horse.
In a speed test one day Chase Me
outclassed his rival and the sports
woman decided to start the big
gelding in a maiden affair at the
opening of the Havre de Grace
meeting last year. Mrs. Bosle..'
personally conducted the training
of Chase Me at all times.
After his winning performances
in his debut Chase Me went on
to make turf history.

The same judges accorded Mrs.
John Hay Whitney'S great grey
gelding, The Grey Knight, no bet"
ter than tenth position in the Ma
tional Capital, such hunters as
Mrs, Whitney's Two Leggins, Lieut..
Col, Sloan Doak'S Octavia, Mrs.
Ellsworth Augustus Sand Den,
and others being ranked in front
of The Grey Knight.
We'll, on Saturday, in the At
laIatic City Horse Show, the judges
sharply reversed the National Cap
itS1 decision and gave The Grey
Knight first call for the grand
championship, the gelded son OF
Royal Canopy-Bonnie Cause win

Red Tape Third
Next in line in the Atlantic City
Grand championship contention
was Firenze Red Tape, with Dill
wyne Farms Nacoma the fifth
hunter in the ring as the Atlantic
City judges arrived at their decl'
sion in the grand championship.
At Bradley Farms, when the
Judges gave Firenze Red Tape the
grand championship, there was a
lifting of eyebrows. rs The Grey
Knight competed in class after
class, without bieng accorded a
blue ribbon, there were murmurS
of disapproval. In the National
Capital, The Grey Knight was
given a red once, a yellow twice
and a white once. At Atlantic
city, however, it was a different
proposition, and Mrs. Whitney's
favorite grey went on to win blues
galore and the grand champion
ship.
Resume Rivalry
The rivalry between The Grey
Knight: his Stablelnate, Bon
Diable: King Vulture, and Mrs.
Guggenheim's Firenze Red Tape
will be continued at the Devon
Horse Show and Country Fair,
Devon, Pa, on May "a, Is, 26, %,
20 and 80.
It now appears that the Devon
show looms as of ultra-importance
if.for no other reason than it will
tend to settle a number of differ
ences of opinion as to whether
The Grey Knight, Bon Diable
King Vulture or Firenze Red Tape
is the best hunter Of the four.

we got up. It's such things that

-, With Atlantic City cheated out
Of its red letter day, there was
nothing for us to do but go to
the ball game and watch the
Cardinals batter our helpless
Giants. But one of our scouts
came back from the boardwalk
metropolis last night and told us
Hn about McLarnin's training.
Trains in Ball Room
He says McLarnin is training in
one Of the ball rooms of the At
1antic City Auditorium, which is a
strange place for Jimmy to train,
since he, Of all present-day fight
erS, has been farther removed from
anything savoring of the waltz.
A waltz, in the language of the
prize ring, is a fake fight. NC
Larnin never has pulled up for
anything or anybody.
There is no touch Of Barnum
and Bailey in either Pop Foster,
his manager, or McLarnin, and
since Jimmy never has been a
gymnasium showpiece, the crowds
that come to watch the sturdy
1risher spar are not large.
Nobody else being present to in.
troduce McLarnin when the time
comes for him to get into the
ring, Foster himself attends to
that detail. Pop does not remove
his hat during the ceremony, and
this is his speech:

Producing the greatest champion i,

Champion Jimmy McLarnin.
who'll fight Ross. at the ball
park"
The announcement is typical Of
the Pop and Jimmy combination.
They waste nothing, this pair. Not
words, money, punches.
Bashes Partner
In the course of his boxing ex-
hibition, McLarnin bashes an un-
happy sparring partner left hook
in the ribs that leaves him listing
to starboard like the Leaning
Tower Of Pisa.
"StOp that now" orders Pop
promptly, "didn't I tell ye not
to hurt these byes?"
