say, as they are saying, (he foul strike
rule must be abolished and other restric
tions upon the batter removed Indeed, one
man goes so far as to advocate the dis
continuance of big gloves by In and out
fielders, as a means of Improving batting
but the great majority of fans will argue
for the retention of rules In the main aa
they are today. More heavy batting doubt
less would satisfy a certain element of
fans; anybody likes to see free hitting,
after all see where some of these re
visions bring " up. For Instance, the
very argument that gloves should be dropped
Is lu itself sufficient argument why gloves
should be retained. Gloves, obviously, are
worn because they help the nelaera to
ay better ball; taking them oft, logically.
juld Impair the player's work. And who
Vanta that doneT We are now discussing
ways and means of Improving the game,
not Impairing it As to the foul-atrike
rule, of course, this admits of mora argu
ment. But thla rule cam Into existence
after years of thoughtful researoh for
something that would serve the dual pur
pose of penalising the batter and protecting
the pitcher. It and the four-ball system
are the evolution toward an equation be
tween pitcher and batter. They are de
veloped from the old aeven-ball-three-etrtke,
then slx-ball-four-strike system, which
were born of that same age of experiments
which shifted the distance of the pltoher's
box several timet, and after years of prac
tical teat they seem to meet the require
ments to the satisfaction of a larger num
ber better than anything that has yet
been tried. And that Is the spirit of a
republican form of government the great
cat good for the greatest number. Before
the foul-strike rule was Introduced such
experts as Arlle Latham could stand at
the plate and turn fouls over the third
base line until the most deliberate of
pitchers would be either so tired ,or mad
that It was a S-to-1 shot the tantalising
batter would get his base. That waan't
the best base ball; It waan't half as sclen
tlllo aa to have both batter and pltoher
placed entirely on their merits, eaoh with a
fair show, and it would simply not be tol

erated today. No, the ohances are that
n the' rule makers get together for
art season they will not alter the foul-
rite rule nor hasard their good names
and Influence by attempting a thing so rad
ical as .prohibiting , the use of gloves .by
fielders.. After. ail, as our own Pa Rourke
maintains It Is not the slugging team that
Is leading In a single league today; It's the
team that is playing the Inside game and
batting at an average rate. Yet, It batting
can be Improved without detriment to the
rest of the game, well and good. The
fact Is, however. It's not the foul-strike
rule, nor the pltoher, nor any other one
kguncy that has reduced batting, but a
number of agenoies combined, such as
great pitching, marvelous fielding and the
cultivation of the bunt and hit and run
game. And theae are better than all the
simple slugging. Just a word In passing
might be said on the fact that, strange as
may seem, base running Is not a lost
art, and yet have we today any Lathams,
Nichols, Curts, Welch, Kellys, Wards,
Sundays and a host of other once fleet
footed and skillful base runnersf
A beloved Bible writer tells as to "Be In
the way," that la, get In the path of Ood
and stay there so that when He eomes along
we may receive His blessing. Without fear
of being regarded aacrlllgious we suggest
to tans ' who are saying that much of
Omaha's recent triumph Is due to luck.
Well, Is cannot be denied that Omaha has
seemed to benefit by what some persons
rail luck. In the last week games were
won on lone runs, or no runs, wild throws
and such. But, friends, Omaha was In the
way; Omaha was playing such ball that
when Mr. Luck came along Omaha could
profit by his presence. In other words. If
you want the political lightning to strike
you, put up your rod. The fact Is, Omaha
is playing the most skillful, scientific and
constant game It or any other Western
league team ever has played.
i
For the first' time this season the last
week has seen what Comb-key calls his
regulan team In the field. Lse. Tannehlll has
at last taken his place at third base. Well,
so far as can be Judged. Lee's return hasn't
caused ajiy earthquakes, yet let us hope It
will have the effect Oommy and Jones
anticipate and that the White Box will get
In first place once more. There's one good
reason for such a wish; It's the same reason
why Prank Chance Is hoping the White
Box will win the American league pennant.
Thousands of fans are just aa anxious as
the manager of the Cubs to see the two
Chicago teams pitted against ' each other
again for the supremacy of the world and
are the Cubs play ball from the time the
first gong rings, not watt until the series u
half over.
Omaha bids you welcome, you tennis men
and women of other states, who are coming
to ettond the several annual Mid West
tournaments. This Is the big tennis event
of the middle western country and will
bring to the Field club the Wet players,
and they must hare the best treatment.
They will, too. for they havs In the past.
d then this Is Omaha, ah tne ciuds will

AUTO MEN WANT CUP RACE
Hoping- for Plan to Take Place of

NEW YORK, Aug. 17. American automo
bile manufacturers whose plana have been
greatly upaet by calling off the Vanderbilt
cup race this year are anxiously hoping
that some plan may be devised by which
a contest for their cars may be arranged.
There has been some talk of holding .t race
In Florida, where a thirty-mile course Is
offered, with every facility for a thorough
test of high-powered cara. This offer will
be taken up and considered by the Amer
ican Automobile association.
To some extent the Americana figure that
the several hundred thousand dollars which
they have lnveated In oup cars for the
Vanderbilt race has been a total loss. In
thla age of marvellous and rapM Improve
ment many changea may be made In autos
before another full year rolls around and
the Long Island Motor Park Speedway Is
ready for the cup race of October, 1908.
That such Improvements will be possible
makea these cara, which cost fully $20,000
each to manufacture, almost worthless,
and one of the worst features has been
that the makers are to have no opportunity
to teat them In a race of nearly 300 miles.
On the other hand, the foreign makers
of these racing cars have already had
two or three big road races, and they are
consequently Just so much ahead of Amer
ican manufacturers In practical knowledge
gained. The result Is to place the Amer
icana at a great disadvantage In the racea
of next year. E. R. Thomas of Buffalo
In a recent Interview declared emphatically
In favor of a raoe or series of contests In
Florida. He has Individually spent more
than $150,000 In cup race experiments, yet
declares he has Just twice aa much' more
to Invest the same way as an excellent
thing for the Industry and automoblllng
generally. He, with other Amerloan
makers, are working hard for a race this
fall.

DANIELS TELLS OFTIIECRAWL
New Swimming' Stroke Described by
the Champion.
SOME TIPS FOB THE LEABNEBS
Easy Method of leaning Style Wstlek
Is Sow All the Rare Aaaert
eaa est Aastiwltaa Crawl
Csaara4.
Just now ths crswl stroke Is all the rag,
at leaat with those who want to swim fast.
Almost any one can learn It by following
the advice of C. M. Daniels, the American
and English champion swimmer and holder
of several world's record, which Is given
here.
By a series of photographs made on dry
land he has simplified ths method of learn
ing the crawl so that It Is Intelligible even
to ths tyro. The different positions are
clearly Illustrated, and a man or woman
who for a few minutes each day takes a
camp stoll and goes through the motions
shown by Daniels will In ths course of a
week be master of the crawl.
Another phase of swimming treated by
Daniels Is ths newest style of swimming
on the back. Of late It has become a
reoognised event In all the big meets both
here and In England, so Its most Important
points should be mastered by all who In
dulge In ths sport. Says Daniels:
The crawl stroke, which experts havs
come to look upon as the stroke of the
future. Is a combination of an abbreviated
overarm and peculiar leg drive learned
by the Australians from the natives of the
Bouth Bra Islands. The leg drive cannot
be called a kick; It Is a continuous up and
down alternate thrash of the lower legs
from the knee down.
In Australia the action of the arms and
legs Is synchronous, that Is, the right arm
comes back aa the left leg goea down and
vice versa. In America, with few excep
tions, the arms and legs are worked In
dependent, and the thrash has a narrower
acope, the legs being opened less.
That our system Is the best seems un
doubted. If theory counts for anything In
swimming. Robert Sandon, whom I con
sldor one of the world's leading authorities
on aquatic matters, explains ths reason In
a manner I think convincing.
He asks us to watch the flight of a flat
atone that has been thrown hard along the
surface of the water and note Its progress.
Bo long as the flat side strikes the water It
bounces on without a check until Its mo
mentum ceases, but let even the smallest
portion become Immersed and It Is brought
to a sudden stop. Its flight checked In
stantly, on matter how great lta apeed.
Apply this to awimmlng, now. In the
trudgeon or even In the Australian crawl
when swimming easily there Is a time when
the propelling forces pause, the body sinks
lower In the water and a check Is noted,
In some swimmers a very decided on. In
the American crawl Instead the continuous
action of the legs keeps the body constantly
In motion, so that there la no check or sink
ing and the stroke must perforce be faster.
Of course in sprinting with the Austra
lian crawl the pause Is so short that there
can be little advantage over It In the Ameri
can stroke, but as It Is very probable that
eventually we will use the crawl for all
distance the point Is not to be overlooked.
A small number of Americans have
adopted the Australian stroke, with Its
wide and synchronous thrash, but have
added a fluttterlng ot the feet between
arm strokes, which makea the action con
tinuous. The relative time ot the arms
and legs In the American crswl can best
be determined by the man himself one
with strong arms and weak lege can adopt
a rapid arm motion and a alow kick, one
with strong legs can do the contrary. Thla
Is one of the stroke's best features, for It
is suitable to man ot various physical
developments.
There are as many varieties of the crawl
nowadays as there are swimmers using It.
No two swim It alike and almost every one
exhibits a method of his own. This Indi
vidual adaptability must eventually pro
duce good fruit, and It Is probable that
aa the swimmers discover the scientific
points and drop the faults in the end the
different styles will be condensed Into one
standard stroke. - '
To learn the American crawl start with
the arms. In fact, you will probably d
well not to use the legs at all until you
can swim about fifty yards with your arms
only.

wsy after reading the description Is to

but with the help of both a few days ot
practice will be sufficient.
Don't open the feet more than twelve

the arms and legs Into a smooth stroko and
also In learning to hold the tiring leg drive
over a given distance. Both are a matter
of practice.
The position ot the body In ths crawl Is
flat on the face. There should be hardly
any rolling and breath should be taken
only every two or three strokes by a quick
twist of the head as the upper arm Is being
brought down. The time for exhaling la
as the under arm goes forward.
When the crawl Is swum alowly, as It Is
over the distances, the' arm stroke Is
lengthened and the' legs are slowed sc
oordlng to the length of tho race. In this
case a breath Is taken at every stroke.
Now as to swimming on the hack. Those
few who are students of the back stroke
have attempted to adapt the latest speed
strokes to back swimming, and while the
success achieved has not proved decisively
the superiority of any one form there
are three strokes now being used.
The first Is a counterpart of the bresst
stroke, altered only to suit the different
positions. The arms, Instead of recovering
in the water, are lifted Into the air to get
the full reach, and the action much resem
bles that of a windmill.
The seoond has this - same arm action
with ths leg drive of the crawl and the
third la Identical, except Inasmuch as the
arms move slternately as In the trudgeon.
Instead of together, as In the breast stroke.
Of course In alternating a decided roll Is
given to the body.
To learn the plain back stroke, lie flat on
the water as In floating, with the arms
fully extended above the head, hands flat,
palms turned upward. This position also
ends the stroke and should be held while
the body Is allowed to run after the legs
have kicked.
In bringing down ths arms catch the
water sharply with the handa back to back,
palms, outward, and pull them through
with a steady pull, stiff at the elbow, de
scribing a semicircle Just below the surface
and parallel to It. When the arms are
alongside, turn palms downward and hold
them rigid, carry them to the full reach
by waving them up well clear to the water.
The legs are held close together, toes
down, until the arms start their recovery.
then they are bent up ana openea just
aa In the breast stroke kick, and they are
snapped together aa the arma attain the
run reacn, wnen tne ooay, now in original
Dosttlon. Is let slide until the momentum
imparted by the kick wears off. Then
another stroke Is started. It Is really the
action and time of the breast stroke.
For the two other varieties the work of
each Individuals arm and leg la the same,
as well as the lea drive described In con
nection with the crawl stroke. The time
In either case may be suited to one s self,
as the arms and legs work Independently
of each other.
Swimming on the back Is best adapted
to men with long, strong arma, so that tall
reople generally turn out Its best exponents,
t Is not of popular method oi natation,
and many look upon It as a very useless
accomplishment. This Is not so by any
means, for In life saving It Is used with
great success.

UNDER! IIIIES THE HEALTH
LAYS THE F0U1IDATI0II FOR DISEASE
Malaria cones from the absorption into the blood of germs ana microbes
which destroy the rich, nutritive qnatitiea of the circulation and reduce it to
a weak, watery, diseae-"preadlns; stream. The healthy color of the akin is
rivett to it by the millions of little red corpuscles which are in the blood.
These are the carriers of nourishment and health to all parts of the body
la other words the rery life and vitalizing eence of the circulation. The
destruction of theae corpuscles by the malarial poison takes the color
from the cheek, and in the first stages of Malaria we have pale, sallow faces,
poor appetite, a bilious condition is set tip, and we feel "ont of sorts"
generally. But Malaria means more than this ; it is a systemic blood poison,
which undermines the health and gives rise to innumerable aad sometimes
serious disorders and diseases if the poison is allowed to remain in the blood.
As the blood becomes more and more polluted with the malarial poison, the
digestion becomes deranged, chills and fever are frequent, skin diseases,
boils and carbuncles, and sores and ulcers break out on the flesh, and after
awhile the foundation is laid for other diseases which either prove fatal or
permanently undermine aad wreck the health. Malaria can only be worked
out of the system through the blood. Purging the liver and bowels with
strong, nauseating cathartics can never remove the trouble because they da
not reach the Mood where the germs are constantly multiplying. The only
hope for a core is a remedy that can destroy the genus and microbes, and
neutral is the bad effects of the poison, and S. S. S. is the medicine to
accomplish this, because it is a perfect blood purifier and a general systemia
remedy of unequalled value. S. S. S.
and every symptom of Malaria passes sway. Malsrial persons will find S. S. S.
not only a prompt remedy but a gentle, pleasant acting one, as well as a certain
cure for this disease. Besides removing the cause of Malaria S. S. S. builds up
every part of the system by its fine tonic effects. Tcrsons living in a malarial
section should, at this season, fortify their systems against this insidious dis
ease by purifying their blood with a course of J?. S. S. Hook on the Mood and
