Walking slowly up the steps of the New York Yankee dugout yesterday afternoon into full view of the 658,339 "Babe Ruth Day" fans, the 52-year-old convalescent Bambino was greet- ed by a thunderous roar, Most of the waistline bulge had melted under the strain of 82 days in hospital after his serious neck operation and his heavy voice had faded to a husky half: whisper that tugged at the heart strings, The greatest home run hitter the game ever produced stood a few feet away from the batters' box from which he used to bom- bard the bleachers. He was sur- rounded by such dignitaries as Francis Cardinal Spellman, base. ball Commissioner A. B, Chand- ler and presidents Will Harridge of the American League and Ford Frick of the National Lea- gue who already had finished their brief talks, "You know how bad my voice sounds," the Babe started. "Well, it feels just as bad." And he went on from there to tell young Larry Cutler of a. Bronx American Legion team "You've got to start from way down at the bottom . . , and if you're success- ful and you try hard enough, you're bound to come out on' top Just like these fellows (pointing to New York Yankees bench)." Young Cutler, representing the boys with whom Ruth will work under the Ford Company's Legion plan, had hit a popular - keynote when he sald, "just to be able to tell Babe Ruth how proud we are to have him back in baseball ~--back where he belongs and to know that he is going to be with us kids--well, that's the biggest and best thing that could hap- pen." On the tangible side, the Babe received a plaque from the Amer- ican League bearing a raised im- age of himself and the signature of all the club presidents, The National League gave him a lea~ ther book containing the signa- tures of all the players in the eircuit dedicated to "Babe Ruth whose batting / average through the years is exceeded only by the size of his heart."

The popularity of swimming as a sport gained momentum during the latter part of the 19th centry in England. Public pools, or "baths" as they were called, were built, the first having been con structed in 1928, It was considered proper for were clad in many-skirted suits, Gradually the idea that they might participate in competitive swimming took hold, and much of the credit for its acceptance must go to Annette Kellerman. Annetté, who was born in Syd- ney, Australia, learned to swim at the age of five, She went with her father to England where she established herself as an out. standing aquatic star after sev. eral long-distance efforts. To Annette belongs credit for liberating women from the cuim- bersome bathing suits which had made swimming difficult for them, She donned a brief, tight suit and, although severely criti- cized for it, persisted until the criticism changed to applause. The publicity and acclaim waves for lady swimmers, In 1912 ed into the Olympic games, and they ré swimming events -- the 100 meters free style and 400 meters relay. Symbolisally the winner of the former event was an Australian girl, Fanny Durack, A quartet of British ladies swam off with the team title, Although the United States had taken to swimming slowly, when the idea caught on, it swept the nation. Prominent in the crop of aspiring mermaids were Ethelda Bleibtray and Alleen Riggin. Ethelda swam with exceptional speed and economy of movement. In the 1920 Olympics at Ant- werp she set new world's records for the 100 meters (1:13.6) and 300 meters ,(4:34)., She did not, however, steal the show, for Alls een Riggin was there. A dainty girl of 13, pretty of face and beautiful of figure, Alleén ' won the fancy diving title against all comers. She 4186 won the heart of America, National pride in a girl swim- mer did not reach an -allstime high until a few poars later, how- ever. Gertrude KEderle, who had set a new record for the 200 me. ters in 1923, announced her in- tention of swimming the English Channel. Trudy was a simple, warm-hearted girl, the daughter of a German - American dellca- tessen store proprietor. Having onte aspired to the treacherous channel swim, she could not give up the idea, Aug. 6, 1926, she en- tered the waters oft France heav- ily greased with oil, vaseline and lard, She took a fearful battering but persevered against wind, weather and sea to become the first woman to cross the chan- nel. Her time was a record for both sexes--14 hours and 31 minutes, ladies to swim, provided that they. achieved by Annette smoothed the i events for women were introduc- il Trudy was welcomed home by a ticker tape parade. She belonged to the Golden Era of sports, and 80 did some lovely ladies'who fol lowed her into the swim. One of the greatest of them was Helene Madison, a 5-foot 10-inch Seattle blonde who shattered all women's free style records. Hel- ene never seemed to try--she sel- dom had to. She took the 100 and 400 meter events in the 1932 Olympics at Los Angeles and al- though her time was not up to the men's in either event, it prov- ed the ladies were doing all right. Helene swam the 100 meters in 1:06.8, compared to 58 seconds for the Japanése winner of the men's event, Her mark for the 400 was 5:28.5, compared to Buster Crabbe's time of 4:48.4. Competing in the same Olym- pic games were four other out- standing girl swimmers -- Elean- or Holm, Georgia Coleman, Dor- othy Pownton and Katherine Rawls. © Eleanor = ws a veteran campaigner, though only 18, She had competed in the 1928 Olym- pic back-stroke competition four years before. Her rhythm and grace in the water were beautiful to behold, They kept her on top in her specialty until just before the 1936 Olympics, when she was expelled from the United States team for drinking champagne. Record breaking became com- monplace for her as it was for the more versatile Miss Madison? Two divers at the 1932 games Petticoat Bathing Suits Kept Girls Out Of Swim But Annette Kellerman Stopped All That earned their share of honors when Georgia Coleman, graceful Log Angeles star, and Dorothy Poynton, a little blonde with grace to waste, won the fancy springboard and high diving tite les. They were two of the great- est the world has seen, But they had a formidable rival in 15-year- old Katy Rawls, who had been splashing about in Florida's wat- ers since she was two. At the Olympie trials Katy was beaten in the 200 meter breast stroke, which was her specialty. Still determined to make the Olympic team, she éntered diving competition against the Misses Coleman and Poynton. And Katy beat them at their own game. She was second to Georgia in the Olympics. Katy was an excellent all-round swimmer, excelling al- so in free style and back-stroke events. In 1936 she became the first American athlete to compéte as a member of two different Olympic teams before reaching the age of 20. By the time she was 21 she held 18 American records. Katy really had it, Following in her strokes #& group of girl swimmers has con- tinued to make headlines up to the present time.

MORRISON "Out of bounds!" shouts the caddy, "Play another ball." You are disgusted. Even if you don't hit the second ball out of bounds your mind is filled with worry about the loss of a stroke. This worry often stays with you for the rest of the round. You give undue importance to this particu- lar penalty possibly because it is imposed by the rules of the game. You could well afford to give more consideration to the penalties Among these is faulty technique in playing approach shots. In shots of 50 yards or less to the pin you have over 10 times as many chances to save or lose strokes as you'll ever have with out-of<bounds. By study. these shots you can establish proved perspective about whole game. The main idea is to get the ball your Starting the Backswing Short approaches, like putting, are most valuable in cutting down scores. Mrs, Ed, Schweitzer, of Pasadena, Calif., demonstrates two im- portant points for approach shots. A-resting the right elbow against the right leg and B--starting with the hands ahead of the ball, as close as possible to the cup. Obviously, the approach shot that makes it easy for you to get down in one putt is a tremendous help to your score. Some players do this often, but no player does it every time. Being too ambitious about approaches can defeat the purpose. As with all shots you need a steady- ing influence, one that will assure you a good average performance. Consistency in approaching will follow when you make a habit of two things--A--Resting your right elbow against your right leg, and B--starting with your hands well ahead of the ball. Most approach shots call for only a short swing with little movement of the fore- arms and wrist action, This move- ment will be easy when you keep your upper arms close to your body. Yes, this makes you stand closer to the ball and have your feet, espe- clally the heels, closer. together. You should feel the same steadiness you feel when putting.

Women have made rapid pro- gress during the last 40 years of swimming competitign. Late star- ters in a demanding sport, some of theth have nevertheless at- tained excellent form. The fact remains however, that they have not caught up with top male swimmers and there seems to be no prospect of their doing so in the foreseeable future.
