JONES WILL KEEP BROWN
Special to The Telegraph
Chicago. 111., Aug. 25. Fielder
Jones, new manager of the St. Louis
Federals, it was announced yesterday,
declined to sanction the deal by which
Mordecal Brown, his predecessor as
manager, would come to the local
Federal League club in exchange for
Urennan and Fisk or McGuire, pitch
ers, offered by Manager Tinker. Jones
took the stand that a pitcher of
Brown's experience was worth more
to his club than youngsters like Fisk
and McGuire, or a veteran like Bren
nan not in the best of shape.
WANT SATURDAY GAME
The Elizabethville A. A. would like
to arrange a game away from home

NOW FIR CAN YOU
SWIM? 20 MILES!
Charles B. Durborow Says It's Very
Easy,—if You Take
Your Time
Charles B. Durborow, Philadelphia's
leading long distance swimmer for the
Public Ledger sporting magazine has
written a discussion of long distance
swimming which will be found ex
ceedingly interesting to Harrisburg
lovers of this sport. He says:
"Long distance swimming is a sport
which is on the boom and when once
established is bound to stay and
thrive, as it has in England. Being a
sport that the public cannot follow
and Watch, unless it be at the start
or finish, they, therefore, must con
tent themselves by merely reading
newspaper accounts, and it has been
quite difficult to get them nterested.
But now conditions are changing;
every one, man, woman and child, is
striving to see how far he can swim.
And with the Amateur Athletic Union
and newspapers helping, interest is
at white heat.
, "There is no sport on the face of the
j earth which will develop a person as
I will long distance swimming. Every
; muscle in the entire body is benefited.
It forces one to breathe deep and long
which will enlarge and strengthen the
chest, and thus is bound to improve
the health. I firmly believe that it
would be impossible for any one who
swam regularly to have stomach
trouble In any form. By keeping the
lungs and stomach in such fine con
dition, the weight Is increased and the
entire system strengthened and built
up. And I might add that regular
salt water swimming will cure any
case of nasal or throat catarrh.
"While people marvel at distance
F lmming, yet it seems so easy and
effortless to the trained swimmer that
he feels almost ashamed to take great
credit for his feats.
Take Your Time
"The one main thing to become a
great long distance swimmer is to
learn to take your time. Swim as
slowly and as easily us you possibly
can. 'Take your time,' is the gateway
to all distance honors. By such a
method you develop a gait which
never varies and in a swim like the
English Channel, the goal of all dis
tance swimmers, steadiness will tri
umph over both speed and skill com
bined.
"Learn one stroke, the one which
suits you best, and which you be
lieve you can do the best with, and
then stick to that and nothing else.
In a long swim—be it five or twenty
five hours—it will pay to rely on your
familiar stroke. It you are growing
tired you might as well quit—as to
change your stroke will not rest you,
but only tire you more quickly.
"The less weight you carry the bet
ter. Most distance swimmers wear
only a pair of trunks or a light one
piece cotton suit at most. It is ad
visable to wear a rubber scull cap, for
not only does it prevent serious effects
from a burning sun beating down on
one's head, but In cold water helps
beyond belief by protecting the back
of the head and upper neck from the
cold. The base of the brain Is the all
important part to bo protected.
As to Training
"I dare say no two men would agree
on the subject of training. Men like
Brown and Richards believe in taking
things easy while in training and will
probably not swim more than two or
three miles at sprints—thus saving
their weight and stamina for the su
preme test. Brown, who is now In
England ready to try to cross the
Channel, swam not more than one
mile at any time in all his prepara
tion; with the one exception of a 13-
mile swim live days before he sailed.
"My methods aro exactly opposite
to other distance men. I believe in
hard work and lots of It. In prepar
ing for a big swim I start open water
work as soon as the ice is out of the
river, and contine myself to short dips
until the water is bearable. Then I
swim about two miles daily, while
once a week I insist on a swim of ten
or twenty miles. By the time my su
preme test is at hand I know that I
can swim hours with ease—that I will
not tire or cramp. True, I lost weight,
and, from constant work, may grow
stale to a certain degree, but. never
theless, I would not change, and am
convinced my method is the best and
safest.
MANAGER EDDIE HOOPER BUSY
Special to The Telegraph
Lancaster, Pa., Aug. 25.—Manager
Hooper, of the Lancaster Tri-State
baseball team, yesterday announced
that he had loaned Pitcher Lane to

CHIBEK WIHS SAME
THO'II GIVES OUT
Trenton Without a Leader Played
a Listless Game; Long
Distance Bingles
By "Ump"
I After pitching his team to victory
I at Island Park yesterday Joe Chabek
| placed himself under treatment with
I the club physician for a very sore
I pitching arm. Cockill's crew won,
I score 9 to 6. It was Chabek's twenty
fourth victory for the season. It was
the first game the popular pitcher
pitched In a week. '
There are sore spots on Chabek's
right arm and shoulder that have been
quite annoying. While not consid
ered serious, Manager Cockill may
have to keep Chabek out of the game
for another week in order that he may
I be in shape for the Allentown battle's
| next week.
The game yesterday, barring Har
rlsburg's fielding and hitting, was a
I listless exhibition. Manager "Pop"
1 Foster was called away on account of
] the serious Illness of his wife. Tren
ton players did as they pleased, sev
eral times resorting to farcical tactics.
Williams pitched, but had little to
I offer. Bunches of hits in two innings
j put the game on Ice for Harrisburg.
Not until the final inning did Chabek
! give up. Trenton hit at slow balls,
i running up the score.
Meyer tripled in the sixth and
| scored on Poland's single. In the
seventh Kehoe's single. Cassell's single
and a passed ball brought a second
run. Seven hits in succession, one a
two-bagger, brought four runs in the
ninth.
Cockill's single, Miller's triple, Wha
len's single and stolen base, with two
passes and Chabek's double, gave Har
risburg four runs in the second. In
the sixth, with two men down, singles
by Emerson and Cockill, Keyes'
double, triples by Cruikshank and
Crist and a hit by pitcher for Chabek,
added five runs to Harrisburg's score.

Big Army-Navy Game
May Be Called Off
Washington, D. C„ Aug. 25.—There
will be no Army and Navy football
game played this year unless the Sec
retaries of War and Navy interfere
and force tho athletic authorities to
settle upon the place for its staging.
This announcement was made last
night.
"Not being able to make satisfactory
arrangements for holding the game
here, and being opposed to going to
New York again this year, the Navy
committee lias notified the Army com
mittee that unless Philadelphia was
chosen as the place for the game it
might as well be called off.
"The Army committee adhered to its
decision not to play In Philadelphia
and all arrangements for a game this
year have been dropped entirely.
"Although the Secretaries of War
and Navy have no affirmative au
thority in the matter of sports at the
academies, they being in the hands of
the students alone, it Is admitted that
if the heads of the two departments
made a direct suggestion that the
game be played at a certain place it is
more than likely that their wishes
would be respected by the athletic
commltee."

SIGNS OP WILLI!
TO FIGHT JOHNSON
Jack Curley Is Ready to Stage
the Battle if Champion
Is Willing
Special to The Telegraph
New York, Aug. 25,-r-Jack Curley,
ol Chicago, the man who staged the
Johnson-Flynn fight at Los Vegas, and
the Gotch-Hackenschmidt wrestling
match at Chicago, announces that ho
is the spokesman for a syndicate that
will to-morrow post SIO,OOO to back
Jess Wlllard to fight Jack Johnson for
the heavyweight championship. Cur
ley says: "We have bought up Wil
lard's contract from Tom Jones and
are prepared to guarantee Johnson
the $30,000 ho always demands for
his end. That is as far as we have
gone. We don't know yet where the
match will be held or who will run
it. We will wait for offers, but If
none is made we will promote the
light ourselves."
"Whero do you expect to find a bat
tleground now that all Europe is at
war and Johnson is barred in Amer
ica and Australia?"
"There will be no trouble about
that," said Curley. "The war may not
last more than a few months, and then
there Is Mexico and possibly New Or
leans, in case tt can be arranged for
Johnson to come back here without
interference. You see, we are not af
ter the gate receipts, and any place
will do. The members of this syndi
cate all have faith in Willard. They
are sure he can win and they are will
ing to gamble on their judgment. AVe
look at it this way: It will cost us
150,000 to run the tight. If Willard
is beaten we will be out whatever sum
the gate receits are shy of that
amount. But if Willard wins it will
mean a cold million for us."

FALL PAINTING
September will soon be here and
the ideal weather for exterior paint
ing. And then you will want to get
the inside of the house touched up so
as -to bo presentable for the social
season of the long winter months. Use
R. & B. Wayne paints, the best for all
purposes. In small cans ready to use
or in paste form for those who need
large quantities. William W. Zeiders
& Son, 1438 Derry street.
DON'T GET "MAD"
If your watch doesn't keep good time.
It may need cleaning or adjusting.
When your system is out of order you
go to a physician. When the mechan
ism of your watch is out of plumb you
should send it to a reliable watch
maker. It it's past redemption, we
have the leading standard makes. W.
R. Atkinson, 1423 V 4 North Third
street.
OIL AND TRUTH
Will get uppermost at last. People
are beginning to understand that our
automatic price system of selling fur
niture is as low as the usual "sale"
methods, and the advantage is that
our automatic method of pricing is in
effect throughout the year. The re
sult is highest grade furniture at the
lowest possible price. Goldsmith's,
206 Walnut and 209 Locust streets.
CARELESS SHEPHERDS
Make a feast for wolf. Likewise the
spendthrift maketh another's bank ac
count large while he has none of his
own. Keeping the money in circula
tion make prosperity—for others—
but self-preservation is the first law
of nature. Therefore a few dollars
every week at three per cent. Interest
will soon build a bank account of your
own. East End Bank, Thirteenth and
Howard streets.
Yei f men actually wonder why
the quality of King Oscar Cigars
never varies. It seems most un
usual for a cigar to be regularly
good for 23 years when so many
brands come and go (emphasis on
go) in half the time and less.
Well—
King Oscar 5c Cigars
are unusual—tne longer you smoke
them the more you will appreciate
their superior quality for < the
money.
