Proficiency will be acquired the more easily by oir ng into the principles of the crawl, as against other swim- ming stro ie of in first 'essentials in principle is to remember that the crawl should be mastered that. it becomes as cagy as walking on land, Any- one out for a good long walk develops an'easy, swinging motion of the legs and rhythmic accompanying movement of the hands. There is no For 'the beginner <n the crawl it is well to-have a mental picture of him or herself taking a long walk. Keep the feet moving steadily, amking little attempt to force the legs downward in the kick ther than their natural inclination. Keep the legs rigid, but never so rigid as to be uncomfortable and thus bring out a jerking movement, Generally the mere effort of keeping the toes straight out so that the feet present a flat surface to meet the water will give the legs sufficient rigidity. The continuous beat of the legs and the fact that one arm or another i always ploughin, ng backward through the water gives steady progress. Every effort should be made to take movements as smoothly and grace- YeNy as possible. If this be done the body has the advantage of riding Ics through the water, the head presenting the least possible resistance. Further to effect this the shoulders should be kept as level as possible, 'Tye speed produced then raises the head naturally and easily out of the water so that only the face is actually in it. When this position is ge'ped through practice the breathing is rendered easier by making the twist of the head less violent and greatly lessening the danger of throw- | ing the body out oi line when the head is twisted for the air intake, {FOR HE BEGINNER IN THE CRAWL IT 18 WELL TO Have A AM MENTAL PICTURE OF HIM OR HER SELF AKING A LONG WALK = The game is called for 6.45 p.m. and should attract a good crowd from | There are many in | Homer Breaks Up Come Resplendent With Good I] Game Which Attracted.

Both teams were tied in the ninth inning, The Times having secured two runs to tie up the game in their, Lalf of the inning. With two' men out and a man on second base, Fever for the home team, hit a home run and sent the home crowd which was estimated at five hundred persons, into a frenzy cf cheering that lasted until the teams were off the field, The re- turn game will be played at the stadium on Friday evening, com- mencing at 6.15. The game was ume of the fast. eet and best ever displayed in Lindsay, with each team having enly two errors. Garrard for the Newsies struck out four men and only issued three bases on halls, while his opponent, Gamble, struck out one and issued six free passes to first bace The Times garnered wnirteen hits off Gamble, while the best Lindsay could do with Garrard was ten, The Times started off strong in the first two innings with two runs and added another in the fourth to take a three run lead.

"Pat" Shannon Given Release | By Cornwell In a despatch received from Corn- wall late yesterday afternoon it was announced that "Pat" Shannon, goalie of the Cornwall Professional Lacrosse Club, had been given his unconditional release and left the eastern town yesterday afternoon. It was stated that following the first period of Tuesday night's game with the Toronto Maple Leafs, in which the Toronto team scored 8 goals, Shannon resented the critic- ism of his performance in the early stages of the match and asked for his release. It was not until Wed- nesday that the formal release was granted by the club. Cornwall always has been a rabid lacrosse town and take its lacrosse with a great deal more seriousness than is neressary at times. Every town likes a winner, but when a team is staked against a team with «+ 200101 002--6 . 000102 032--8 the lightning speed and combina- tion of the Toronto Maple Leafs they have to be good to take the de- cision, This is particularly so when one considers that the Cornwall de- fence has not played together for a length of time. In the years that Shannon played senior lacrosse in Oshawa he was considered one of the best goaltenders in the league There must have been some support for this feeling as the Oshawa team » New York sev. 64 Brooklyn Boston Pittsburg , ,.
