BOXING FANS "SORE" AT TWELVE ROUNDS FOR BIG FIGHT; CITY NEEDS SWIMMING POOL
Hurry Up That Bathing Beach,
Mr. Mayor, So Mermaids
Like This May Thrive
c
All Harrisburg will go swimming
if the City Council backs up Mayor
Keister in his most commendable at
titude for the $40,000 bond to tinance
an up-to-date bathing place at Hard
scrabble. It is a crying shame that
this city long ago did not go In for
the most wholesome of all summer
sports. Not a village in America
with water facilities but is producing
tampions, of both sexes, and it is
pointed out that water exercise is by
all odds the best for girls and wo
men. Swimming has the marked ad
vantage that it keeps the blood at
normal temperature in hot weather
while all other hardy exercise heats
it uncomfortably. For all around de
velopment of the body no sport on
earth is better, as one will realize in
studying a group of aquatic experts.
Swimming means real health to
women and girls, and Harrisburg
even now, with its measly accommo
dations has many likely champions,
gleaned from the young maids who
have taken advantage of McCormick's
Island. This move to give our citi
zens a healthy, adequate swimming
pool at a convenient location spells
health, happiness and harmony; to
say nothing of exhilaratian and re
moving Friend Grouch.
The Telegraph reproduces to-day
as an example of what swimming does
Miss Ethelda Bleibtrey, of the New
York Women's S. A., the young
school girl who won the national 500
yard A. A. U. swimming champion
ship last week in the winter pool at
Brighton Beach, is America's latest
aquatic marvel.
Sixteen years old, and a green no
vice less than one year ago, she
stands to-day a title holder, a world's
recordist and probably our most :
brilliant prospect in the field of water ;
sport for women.
Since she sprang her first surprise i
on April 5, when she set an official
world's standard of 3S 4-3 for 53 yard
back stroke swimming in a regulation
75 foot pool, she Jias performed feats !
which stamp her ono of the greatest !
young mermaids ever developed.

her wonderful possibilities. On April j

They predict for her even greater
success during the approaching out

up fer decision. She has been made
to practise chiefly over 800 to 1,000

veloped exceptional endurance.
Miss ItleUdrey's stroke has caused
a good deal of favorable comment.
She uses the double trudgeon crawl,
with a six heat leg drive and a slow,
powerful arm action, planing notice
ably and gliding smoothly through
the water apparently without the
least effort,
A remarkable and rather unusual
feature of her swimming Is that she
keeps her form even when tired, She

Over a Twelve-Round Fi^ht
New York. May 7.—The Wlllard-1
Dempsey heavyweight championship
bout scheduled for July <4 at Toledo;
wua the one toplo of discussion i
among eastern tight followers during
the last St hours.
Those who take more than a pass- •
tng interest in ring affairs tlnd it ;
dittloult to reconcile the idea of a'
heavyweight championship battle j
with this lBround contest, and the !
glamor which surrounded the vir- |
tual tights to a finish in which Sul- j
livan, Oorbett. Fitzslnimona, Jeffries j
and even Johnson defended their |
titles, appears to be lacking, It is 1
also a decided ring novelty for a j
heavyweight champion to agree to
place his title in jeopardy by a ref
eree's decision over sucn a short
cut,
With the exception of the ten
reund no-.decision bout between Wil
lard and Prank Moran In this city
three years ajfo, which few ring ex
perts took serieusly from a title pass
| ing angle, there is no record of such
a short scheduled battle in the mod
ern history of heavyweight lighting.
Since the days of John I- Sulli
van, championship contests in this
class have ranged from 20 rounds
upward, The Sullivan-Corbett bout
was scheduled for 25 rounds, A
simitar distance was set for the
Corbett-Pttasimmons battle at Car
son City, Jeffries wen the title front
Fitasimniens at Coney Island in a
tight which was scheduled to go 25
rounds. The Johnson-Jeffries and
Wil lard-Johnson bouts provided for
an extreme limit of more than forty
rounds,
The average for the heavyweight
.tttuiua fought since the night
| , opped Sullivan in New
OriCd.... . i 92 has been 13 2-3
rounds per- fight, Willard holds the j
duration record, for ,t took htm i
25 rounds fo finish off Johnson in !
Havana in 1915, Of these 17 bouts
only four ended in less than double
figure rounds, and nine went more
than 13 rounds before tho winnerj
! landed tho knock-out blow.

Schiff's Manager
Pays His Respects
to Boob Referee
Sporting Editor,
Dear Sir, I am writing you in |
reference ta the Sammy Schiff j
and Willie Hannop fight at tho [
National Club on Saturday night. !
This affair was the most out
rageous thing that over came off
in a Philadelphia prize ring. The
referee stopped tho but claiming
that Schiff was holding to prove I
that he must have had another
motive in stopping the bout, fhe |
crowd booted and hissed him re- j
fusing fo lot hint referee any J
more bouts that night. There |
was not one among the 8,000 I
present knew why the fight was j
stopped. It was a great injustice j
to Schiff as he was winning all ;
the way- This referee has mined |
himself in Philadelphia and it
docs not look like he will referee i
another bout here. Schiff is a j
game boy and has made a num- |
ber of sensational fights here. To
prove that he was done a rank
injustice, 1 have him matched
back again with the same boy in
two weeks. This is enough proof
to show you that the Philadel
phia boy, like Schiff, will not
tolerate such treatment I have
Schiffs' Interest at heart and will
not stand for him to get the
worst of it in Philadelphia or
eis ■ where.
ROBERT H. GUNXIS,
Manager of Sammy Schiff.
