SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 18. — Men
well posted in swimming affairs ns
well as a number of expert swimmers
have expressed the opinion that Nor
man Ross, the Olympic Club star,
and holder of a doze nor more national
and world's records in various swim
ming events, is making a mistake in
! not specializing and concentrating his
efforts. Ross Is admitted to be one
of the most versatile mermen that
t ever took to the water, and has shown
| his prowess in both long and short
distance events.
From the fifty yard sprint to the
gruelling mile swim across the Golden
Gate. Rosa has achieved fame, but
the contention is made that Ross is
naturally an athlete most likely to
achieve notable distinction in the 220 ]
yard and 410 yard events. By special |
izing in these. It Is claimed that he
would eventually set figures for these
swims that would take years to beat,
with the likelihood that he might es
tablish figures which would keep hint
in the records for a long time after
Ills swimming days if not for all time.
In attempting to negotiate all kinds
of swims and distances, the claim is
made that while Ross may win and
even establish records, these figures
will not be as decisive und may soon
be bettered by other men who spec
ialize.
Wjth New York in the National
league*and Chicago in the American
league, practically conceded to be the
next contenders in the world's series,
the San Francisco club of the Pacific
Coast league also Is being hailed as
the winner of Its circuit. While the
Seals have not the heavy lead over
their opponents which the big league
leaders enjoy, it does not seem likely
that they will be ousted from the top
of the percentage column unless they
are overtaken by a very decided
slump. The possibility of this always
exists, but there does not appear to be
much probability of it, as Manager
Berry's organization appears to be go- ■
lng aling in good shape, and his title ■
best pitchers are showing plenty of
class. Officials of the league state
that there is no question that the sea
son will be played through, and even
go so far as to state that a regular
schedule will be made up as usual for
next season and the game continued
notwithstanding the war.

A number of older college men on 1
the Pacific coast who had been con
temporeaneouB with John de Salles
during his football days at Yale, were
shocked at the news of his tragic
death. The former Yale"“star la de
scribed as small In stature and his
style of jrlay very much on the order
of Sharpe, the University of Califor
nia player, who made a reputation for
sensational runs.
The Seattle Athletic Club Is now
housed In Its. new home, the recon
structed Arctic Club, on Third ave
nue. The old home of the atheitlc
club, on Fourth avenue and Cherry
street, was built for the club, and
was occupied for fifteen years, but Is
now too small. Featurea of the new
club are the gymnasium and swim
ming pool. The gymnasium itself will
be 60 feet wide and 77 feet long, with
an indoor running track serving as a «
balcony. The swimming pool, which
is 40 feet wide and 74 feet long, Is
among the largest on the Pacific
coast.
Mrs. Constance Meyer, Portland,
who claims the woman’s diving cham
pionship of the Pacific northwest, is
planning to enter the Pacific coast
swimming and diving championship
meet, to be held at Oakland, Cal., In
September. After competing In Oak
land, MrsT Meyer will go to Ixts An
geles to enter the high diving cham
pionship tourney, to be held by the
Los Angeles Athletic Club,

OLD RHYMES MADE OVER.
Little Miss Muffett sat by the road
side,
Enjoying the summer's day—
When ulong came a Ford car.
And knocked her away far.
Now isn’t that rough, 1 say!
There was a man in our town.
He waen’t wonderous wise—
He ran his auto thro’ spme glass
And blew out all his tires.
When he saw what he had done.
With all his might and main.
He got right out his tool kit,
And blew them up again!
’Tls the last fly of summer,
Left buzzing all alone;
All his hateful companions I
Have been "swatted" and are gone!
Not a bug of his kindred,
No small Insect Is nigh—
To sit upon our dishes
Or Bttng us in the eye!
—Annabelle MacConnell.
