BOYS CLUB
TODAY winds Up our week’s -water carnival. And this is the best
day of all—three big feature events and nine straight contests.
The first big event on the program will be the tug-of-war in
the water. If you’re swimming in a small stream get a long rope,
| or splice enough rope together to reach clear across the stream with
; 15 or 20 feet to spare on either side. Then line up your forces and pull,
j The weaker team will be pulled clear across. The winning team won't
get wet.
Or have a tug-of-war in the water
where it is deep enough to swim and
not shallow enough to give you a
foothold.
The tub race—take ordinary wash
tubs that won’t leak. One boy to a
tub. At a given signal start ,for the
finish line, wljieh shouldn't be too far,
for you can’t make much time in a tub
with only your hands for oars. *
j Old clothes derby—-over your swlm
j ming suit, wear shirt, trousers and
I shoes —all clothes laced and buttoned
| all way up. Start from shore. Swim
|to raft or float—or other sidfe of
i stream- —and then discard wet clothes
j and swim back in bathing suit,
i You’ll find swimming with clothes on
L anything but easy—and removing
them while wet still more difficult.
Other events for today are:
100 yards, any stroke.
20 yards, towing person your own
weight.
25 yards, swim on back.
50 yards, swim on back. *
100 yards, on back; 50 yards! any

TUNNEY IN SERIOUS
MOOD IN TRAINING
BY FAIR PLAY. '
NEW YORK. August 7.—Regardless
of what flie experts think of J;ieU
Dempsey’s ability to come back like
the Dempsey of old after his long lay
off, Gene Tnnney is taking nothing
for granted and is going about the
serious task of getting into the b«st
possible shape for the tight of his
career.
Gone are the plus fours, the striped
silk shirts and even the contagious
smile that made friends for Gene
wherever he went. A trip to his camp
reveals the challenger in the non
descript clothes of one who lives in the
open and a serious, grim look on his
youthful face.
Work is the rule of.the day. From
early sunrise in company with his
faithful trainer and friend, Lou Fink,
Gene takes to the open road away
from ms camp and returns with a
good sweat, which speaks well for his
condition at t|os early period.
Tunnej’ has sent out a call for
plenty of sparring partners. Not the
old wrecks of the ring who make a
nice showing in practice tilts and
make the fighter look vastly superior.
Gene wants them young, big, strong
and tough. , >
All those applying will have to get
down to real work gnd expect to stay
up under the punishing blows of the
I challenger. They will he expected to
1 tear in all the time and hold nothing
back. ~-
This is the old style and really the
best. Tnnney realizes this and is’
going atyout It in the right, manner.
Another feature of Tunney’s train
ing / is that no admission will be
charged to his workouts. The ring
platform is pitched out in the open
and any one who cares may look on.
This is an innovation in the days of
high finance.
As said before. Gene has some re
gard for his public. He believes in
making allowance for those who pay
the freight and make boxing a profit
able business.

COSSACKS TO PLAY
KAVKAZ IN PH ILLY
# PHILADELPHIA. August 7.-—tfes
quicentennial Stadium, scene of vir
tually every American sport since its
opening June 1, will present a novelty
to sport fans the week of August 16
during the engagemfnt of the Russian
Cossacks.
The cossacks from the steppes of
the Caucasus will play their native
game—kavkaz—which is a combina
tion of soccer, polo, basket ball and
foot ball. There are ten men on a
side and all are mounted.
Take basket ball, the game, begins
with an official tossing a soccer
covered with sheepskin in the center
of the field. The ball may be carried
or passed down the field as the teams
endeavor to shoot the hall into a goal.
A distinctive feature is that the
rules permit a player to wrest the
ball tfrom an opponent. As In foot
ball this causes a great deni of per
sonal contact and unless the officials
are on the watch the game may be
come rough. ‘
It is in this game that the remark- )
able horsemanship of the Cossacks |
rises to its greatest heights. The j
men “dribble" their way through the !
opposing defense in a manner similar
to that of the great '“Red" Grange. |
The Cossacks will play a series of j
matches every afternoon with Army, |
Police and Club polo teams.
TENNIS HAS POWERFUL !
HOLD IN GREAT BRITAIN:
By the Associated Press.
Stronger proof of the powerful hold |
the game of lawn tennis has upon the |
English public could hardly have been j
given than by the size of the throngs j
that attended the tournament at j
Wimbledon.
Much of the success of the tourna- I
meats in recent years from the stand- j
point of atendanee has been credited i
to the drawing power of Suzanne j
Lenglen. „
But the second week of the tourna- j
nient this year, with Lenglen out of i
the picture 1 altogether because of her j
breakdown, saw no diminution in the
size of the audiences. >

BY PERRY MILLER.
CAPT. FRANK BOSWELL, who is undertaking to capture the fiih
in the Tidal Basin that have been declared undesirable by the
Bureau of Fisheries, placed his 5j4-inch mesh net in those waters
last Wednesday night, and says lie is confident that as soon as
the net becomes discolored from the action of the water he will catch a
majority of the big carp and catfish.
Boswell’s attempt already has borne
fruit, but he says that on account of
the newness of his net the fish are
able to see it before they strike, and
a sudden turn and swish of their
tails enables them to get away. Capt.
Boswell said that as soon as the net
takes on a deeper hue the fish are
bound to strike it and get caught.
For the last two nights he has
placed his nets In the southwest cove
of the Basin. Tonight he intends to
transfer his operations to the other
side of the water and put his 600-foot
net about 25 yards ofT the seawall
running opposite the Bureau of En
graving and Printing.
Capt. Boswell hauls his net between
6 and 7 o’clock every morning, and
Glen C. Leach of the Bureau of
Fisheries has assigned one of his
men to see that averything goes along
“according to Hoyle.”
The Potomac around Washington
again is clear and ready for the
angler, but the majority seem to pre
fer trying their luck in salt water,
and from the reports received their
decision In this matter has been
right. There Is no doubt about bass
being in the waters of the Potomac
around Washington, but the hot
weather has caused them to cease
biting.
As a matter of fact, the season for
the small and large mouth bass angler
is September and Octefber. During
these months the temperature of the
water begins to cool, and it is then
that the bass get active.
But in the meantime the salt
water angler is having his innings
and the batting averages of all of
them are very high. It mokes little
difference In which direction the salt
water angler goes—to Chesapeake
Bay, the Patuxent or lower Potomac
yivers—the results are the same. They
bring home the fish.
This condition prevails from the
tip end of the Southern Maryland
Peninsula, where the Potomac and
Chesapeake meet at Point Lookout.
This section always has been a valu
able fishing ground. From this point
up the bay almost to Baltimore and
up the Potomac River for many miles,
both on the Maryland and Virginia
Ides, first hardheads and then rock
fish, perch. King William perch, spot
and trout are caught. Toward the
end of the fishing season and again
when the water changes its tempera
ture, the rockflsh, which is a striped
bass and therefore a game fish, fur
nishes excellent sport. These fish
v can be caught all Summer long, hut
the real rock fishing is toward the end
of the season, and when one of the
"big fellers” Is hooked It Is the near
est thing to fishing off the Florida or
California coasts for the tarpon or
swordfish. They can be caught still
fishing, but trolling Is <he method
employed by most all those who have
had experience with these fighters.
G. Farson of 3412 Thirty-fifth
street. Mount Rainier, Md.. sent In
a report of his recent fishing trip
at Plney Point. With .Norman
Pruitt, also of Mount Rainier, he
caught 76 hardheads averaging 3Mi
pounds, nine rock, averaging 3 pounds
40 large spots and 6 trout of about
2 pounds each. All these fish were
' landed In four hours, peeler and hard
crabs being the bait used. The
following day they crossed over to
Ragged Point Light and caught over
200 pounds of hardheads, spot and
trout, and then ran into a school of
rock. They started to troll and got
27 rock of about 3 to 4 pounds each
and then struck the big fellows and
lost four 11ne§ and tackle. >All their
fishing on the second day was done In 6
hours. "I have not seen so many
big hardheads for a long time and
everybody that goes out comes back
: with excellent catches,” Farson said.
. .Home really remarkable catches are
being made at Rock Point, Md.
Lost Thursday' one party fishing off
Cobb Island landed 71 big hardheads.
The rock are furnishing good sport and
everybody said it Is the best Ashing
season at the Point in years.
While there Is a marked variance

Bay Shore.
average Is up to the corresponding
period of former years. Just now
there Is a distinctive mark In the sire
and quality of the fish.
Trout and rockflsh are the favorites
of the anglers’ strings. There Is so
much contingent upon the success of
the angler that the empty basket of
some must never be accepted as the
best evldense that there is none to
be gotten. Indeed, while no specific
rule can be laid down for absolute
returns, yet the experience of many
goes a long way to making the bait
count for something In the Ashing
game. The anglers at the beach
generally concede .that the chap who
does the trolling for the big Ash Is
getting a long lead In results over the
one that sits quietly on the pier and
awaits the arrival of the Ash.
There has been a remarked in
crease In the number of crabs caught
along the bay front. They are great,
big, blue fellows and some of then so
large and meaty that they recall the
days long ago when they were so
numerous as to be veritable pests.
Many of the residents of the places
along the bay have proAted from the
increase.
William E. Hhea and a party of
local anglers visited White Point
on the lower Potomac recently
and reported that the fish are plentl
ful. They caught 175 hardheads,
spot, King William and black perch.
This party rented one of the bunga
lows for fishermen at this place and
also took advantage of the row boat
that goes with it. They went out In
the Potomac only a short distance
and used bloodworms and shrimp for
bait.
COONEY NEAR RECORD
FOR WORK AT SHORT
NEW YORK. August 7.—When
Jimmy Cooney, shortstop of the Chi
cago Cubs, accepted 16 chance* against
the Phillies In the second game of the
present series in Philadelphia he
tied the season’s record for both ma
jor leagues that had been made by
“Rabbit” Maranviile of Brooklyn.
Cooney came within one of the world
record for putouts with his total of
ten. Years ago Shorty Fuller of the
Giants made the record number of
eleven put outs at shortstop. The
record in the American League Is ten
and that Is held by Napoleon Lajole,
who made It In 1901.
Shorty Fuller made his record In
1895. Imagine that—all these 30 years
nnd more have come and gone end
not another shortstop In either big
league has made eleven putouts in
a game of nine innings.
Cooney is the son of a shortstop,
who played with the Cubs, too. If
the elder Cooney had been a keen and
healthy batter he would have been a
bigger ball player. Ills son never has
taken an well to batting as he has to
fielding and that Is one reason why he
has figured In trades. The Cardinals
let him go to Chicago to get Keen
It was a mighty good trade all around
as things have worked out.
Cooney certainly has been a help
to Joe McCarthy since he felt that his
Job was to last all season. Things so
shaped themselves that the Cubs could
not very well trade him. The other
shortstop material which they tried
to bring up, Shannon being n notable
sample, did not ripen w'ell.
