THEY SWIM FOR HIM
by Dick Friendlich

This mermaid business isn't all it's
cracked up to be. Charlie Sava's girls
break records but give him headaches
ACCOMPANIED by crescendo of cheers, the tall young girl
IA churnng down the final lap of the 88Oyard swim
with worlds record in her teeth The crowd at San
Fanciscos Feischhacker Pool knew it. and did Ann
Curtis she hauled her exhausted body of the chilling
salt water.

glasses mounl expression handed Ann towel pated
her the shoulder and said reproachuly Boy you
terrible on that fifth turn
Instead of bursting throwing the gentleman
into the water Ann gnned down her coach Charlie Sava
and kissed him lightly the cheek She knew it would take
more than mere worlds record satisfy the aesthetic Sava
who spent almost Is years and than $4,000 in
endless search for the perfect swimmer.
The fact that Ann the 1914 Sullivan Award, given

the past two years his Crystal Plunge memas have made
unprecedented sweep of national championships
outdoor and indoor
In the field of sport any manifestation of unselshness
usually examined with great disclose the gmmick
Sava eerges from such inspection the complete arus
He is publicity that he rarely for photographer
seldom talks to reporters He claims that only is he
homely and unphoogenc but that gives oot about
him or his opinions anyway.
It's Not For Money
his income is derived from giving private swimming lessons
and acting caretaker eguard and general handy man
around the Crystal Plunge ramshacke public bahhouse in
San Francisco He receives penny for coaching the
Crystal team.
Despite Sava's indifference, his public recognition has
accumulated along with his teams championship trophies

Los Angeles Sava deluged with attractive offers of
coaching Jobs He wasn't interested
The 1916 Amateur Athletic Union outdoor championships
at stakamak State Park Jasonvle, Ind, furnished an
example of Sava philanthropy Under AA.U rules defend

CRYSTAL Plunge had events in the 945 meet but Ann
Curtis had accounted for three of these Result that Sava
received from the AAU expense allotment for four girls

fare without berths and hotel accommodations for
five days.

To take his team Chicago in l945, he had to borrow
money repaid only by long and tresome hours of private
lessons In April of 1896 he had half of his entry fly up to
the national indoor meet Seattle because he believed
long trip would hurt their chances The AAU needless
to say does not pay for any plane rides
Charlie Sava to have spent much of his life in
water as land Born in the Balearc Islands, he
brought Brooklyn by his Portuguese when he

Natures Children
By lilIion Cox Athey

Colorado prairies are wonderful
places of adventure the year-round.
AS soon as there is any indication
of spring, this is the time to get
out your camera. The birds will be
returning, the prairie ponds will be
covered with many species as they
know their refuge is for them. The
noisiest guests are the avocets. They
are long-legged shore birds that ar
rive early to build their nests in the
short grass edging the alkali pools.
On your approach the birds race 20
meet you with loud, strident cry
of protest. AS these birds love to
nest close together, all join in to
make you feel unwelcome.
Nests of the avocets are shallow
affairs and the eggs are rarely hid
den. Shore bird eggs are nearly
always protectively colored and 1t is
almost impossible to discover them
If the mother is brooding them OF
discovers you are spying on her
treasure, she will alight some dis
tance away and rush toward you
with outstretched wings and then
make a sharp turn as if she were
inviting you to chase her.
Avocets are not specifically wary
They enjoy feeding along the bor-
ders of their pond
The mother after her early break
fast and bath will return to the nest
fold her long slender legs beneath
her and registers an expression OF
quiet satisfaction with the world.
At inspection time, the avocet will
turn her eggs carefully. She stands
over them with her legs wide apart
then she lifts her breast feathers
and gently lowers herself upon he1
eggs.
The young are able to run when
their downy coats are dry. Their
independence is remarkable, al
though they are glad enough tC
creep under their warm mother al
night.
These are the most snowy Of ou1
shore birds. They are 18 inches long
Their field colors of black and
white make them quite easy tc
identify. Their bill is f1attened an6
upturned. They pass their bill
through the soft mud moving their
head sideways and sometimes theil
head will be submerged. Any soft.
bodied creature in the mud serves
as food. Insects flying on the water
are snapped up.
