ENJOY POOL
| AT BREWSTER


At this time each year the swim
ming pool at the Brewster Center
is one OF the busiest indoor places
In the City. Persons not seen In or
near the Center during the cold
months are In the pool every day.
On some occasions many people
take advantage OF the chance tn
swim twice In the same day. once
In the afternoon and again in the
evening. OF course with the wealth
err In the nineties swimming Is the
most pleasing way TO endure the
discomforts OF the heat. At Center
swimming is priced where every
one can enjoy It, even those who
have not had job for fifteen
years.
Children are especially benefited
| In that they can swim every day
when the sun Is re hottest. To
them swimming Is free. something
to be considered when In most
places about the city children pay
what adults pay at the Center and
more.
Unlike adults. children use the
pool at every opportunity they get
In the summer. AT times there are
several hundred children In the
pool during one period. Their
swimming is under expert supervi-
son and classes OF instruction both
in swimming and life saving are
held during the vacation season.
Every one should use the pool
at the Center. II Is there to be us
ed and is being used every day by
some but not as many use Il as
should. There Is none finer In the
country!

SUGGESTIONS
TO SUMMER
SWIMMERS

The Detroit Board OF Health is
sues the following Information 70
those who plan to indulge In SWIM
ming In local lakes and streams
this summer:
Drownings become serious
health problem In this state each
summer. Already this summer sew
eraI persons have lost their lives
by drowning. and most OF them
needlessly.
Water sports provide fine recrea-
ton and exercise, but like all other
sports, the person indulging In
them requires preparation and
practice. There Is not much excuse
for a young person who lives In
Detroit not knowing how to swim,
at least sufficiently to enable him
to stay above water. The Detroit
Public Schools. the Department OF
Recreation, public pools OF the De-
partment OF Parks and Boulevards
and numerous private pools, pro-
vide places for the beginner Ia
learn the rudiments OF swimming
In addition, the water safety pre-
gram of the Detroit Chapter of the
American Red Cross includes In
sruction in life saving and first aid
For those who have not learned
TO swim. II is safer to paddle
around the shore and to be content
with a few duckings. Canoes are
only for those who know how "a
swim or who are willing to wear
life belts.
A few rules for those who wish
| TO enjoy the lakes OF Michigan with
safety. may be of help:
1T is NOT SAFE
To swim Immediately after q
meal.
To swim where there are
treacherous currents, tides, cold
springs or weeds.
To stay in the water when one
has become chilly.
To swim out from shore without
taking the return into account.
To go into deep water before
ones swimming ability warrants
II.
To battle. especially alone, IN
any unknown stretch OF water. !,
A physical examination by .
physician Is an essential for those
who wish to profit by an outdoor
summer. This Is particularly
necessary for those who wish Il
swim, in order that undiscovered
physical handicaps may not be thu

CITIZEN GROUPS
BACK FREE MILK,

Gross Business Levy
Scored as Unjust
BY A. J. DRIsCoLL
Citizens Associations Editor

Citizens Associations Editor
The Columbia Heights and North
Cleveland Park Citizens Associa-
lions last night gave unanimous
Endorsement to the campaign to
provide free milk and noon day
lunches to needy school children
of the District. The campaign was
held a humanitarian act and
worthy Of every citizens support.
The Columbia Heights group,
which met in the assembly hall of
the Fourth Presbyterian Church,
on motion by Col. L. R. Maddox,
opposed the gross business tax en-
acted last session Of Congress, as
discriminatory, unjust and an I'M
warranted piece Of legislation.

to support the fight Of the Dupont
Circle Citizens Association against
an application to re-zone the
Walsh mansion on Massachusetts
Avenue for first commercial uses.
The consensus was the avenue
should be one always retained Us
highly residential.
Charging that safety zones are
death traps, and that inadequate
traffic regulations are more or less
responsible fo1 the increase in traf-
fic fatalities, favorable conSidera-
ton was giver to a proposal by Mr..
Brown to have outside experts de-
wise ways ana means for street
safety.
ONE-MAN CARS
The association, on motion by
Mrs. Marie F. Maddox, voted to
continue its fight against the
operation CT one-man street cars
on Fourteenth Street and urge the
reestablishment Of a direct line

game last fall and his late season squirt during which he won six straight may gain him the assign lnent again. Pearson has been both- cred by arm trouble but apprently has regained top form.
 The burden will be considerably greater on the Giants pitchers than on the Tanks. Bill Terry knows the Giants can't win without getting good pitching backed by; tight defense. The Tanks might easily win games behind ragged pitching because of their high scoring ma chine. For instance the Tanks won two games last year by scores of 18-4 and 13-5. The most runs the Giants made in any one game was six in the opener and only four of them were earned. .
 Backing up his two sovthpaws, Terry has Tal Schumacher and Har- ry Gumbert. Schumacher, knocked out in the second game last year came back to beat the Tanks in the fifth game. Gumbert appeared in the final game in @ relief role and was belted hard by the Tanks dur. ing a seven run rally. Terry's pitch- ing setup seems to call for Hub- bell, Melton, Schumacher and Gum. bert to work in that order.
 No Gamble
 Melton is being touted as a possi. ble first game starter but prece- dent is against Terry gambling on Q freshman in the opener. Only one rookie ever won the first world series game, and that was in 1909

 tOber 1st)
 Fielder Jones White Sox defeated Jimmy McAleer's Browns 1 to o in a great extra inning duel between Nick Altrock and Barney Petty.
 Chicago opened the thirteenth by punching two hits off the hereto fore invincible Petty, to score the lone, run which decided the battle that had waged for a dozen score less frames. Dougherty, up first in this momentous inning, doubled and took third on McFarland's perfect sacrifice. Tannehill then placed @ beauty in right to score Dougherty. E The Browns got six scattered sin gles of Altrock up to the seventh, but Nick improved as thes game grew older, and did not allow an- other safety during thet balance of the game. Petty was also pitching in great style, denying the Sox the privilege of connecting safely, when hits meant runs, until thet fateful thirteenth spelt his ruin.
 St. Louis best opportunity came in thet sixth: Stone beat out a slow one to Tannehill; Hemphill forced Stone; Wallace singled to right, IIemphill taking third; Altrock held Charlie on third as he tossed out O'Brien at first, and then com- pleted thet good work by whiffing Rockenfield. aaA ..r
 Donohue's work, both at bat and in thet field, predominated. He made three hits and fielded in sensation al form.
