International baseball after the war? A world series between the champion teams of England, France, the United States. Japan and possibly South Amer ica. '"Why not?" asks Jimmie CAlIahan, ex pilot of the Pirates, who rounded this little globe four years ago with the all Americans and all-Nationals. and who is now Interested In baseball behind the trenches In France. "It will not surprise me if England and France take up baseball after the war," said Jimmie. "Those pepole like baseball —the only trouble Is they have never the opportunity of enjoying tt as we have, the game has never been allowed to develop there. "I like to think of that trip we took four years ago as a missionary trip. We played to vast crowds and they liked the game. They cheered every time a hit was made, even If it was only a foul. But the real missionary work is going on behind the trenches now, where Amer icans and Canadians are playing baseball for the edification and delight of the Tommies and poilus as well as for their n pleasure." "THE CRAWL"—KING OF ALL THE WATER STROKES MISS MAHN ILLUSTRATING THE AMERICAN CRAWL, SPEEDIEST OF SWIMMING STROKES. BT MISS VALIÆRY MAHN Western Aquatic Marvel. The American crawl has been named correctly the king of all swimming strokes. Once you see It done und get the idea, it's goodbye to the breast stroke, diving and everything that used to he fun. The ambition for speed and proficiency in this graceful, gliding stroke must he gratified. in all other strokes one seems conscious of labor, effort and water resistance. These somewhat unpleasant factors are less noticeable in the crawl. This is the stroke that carried Duke Kahamimoku. Norman Ron, Ludy linger un<l other champions to victory and fame. Every record holder, man or woman, from the 25-yard dash to the mile, has won with the crawl. One never rests when crawling. It Is a tiring stroke until thoroughly mastered and the beginner must be content with WAR WRECKS LOCAL BASEBALL CIRCUIT Directors, at Spokane Meet ing, Decide to Disband Next Sunday. Spokane, July 10.—The Northwestern league will disband Sunday. The team being In the lead at that time will be awarded the pennant. A decision to disband the league was reached by the club owners at a meeting In this city yesterday. Butte and Great Falls, the only cities In the league mak ing any money this year, put up a strong fight to play out the season but were out voted. Those at the meeting were R. L. Brown, Vancouver; D. E. Dugdnle, Seattle; Russ Hall. Tacoma; W. H. Davey, Butte; Pete Jensen. Great Falls; F. C. Farr. Spokane, and R. L Blewett, Seattle. At the close of the meeting the presi dent Issued the following statement: "On account of the heavy financial losses already sustained, brougnt on by the abnormal conditions caused by the war. the fact that the Northwestern league will lose a percentage of Its play ers by selective draft and from the ex perience of the Vancouver club since the war began in 1914, the directors of the league believe that conditions In baseball will grow worse instead of better until the close of the war as the fan»' interest seems to be centered on the war Instead of on baseball. "The national commission having ruled that any minor league compelled to suspend on account of conditions brought on by the war has a right to reserve its players, franchise and territory, the dlrec tora of the Northwestern league have de Callahan has struck a popular note. Why not International baseball after the war? Baseball has been one of the great melting pots of America. Practlcaly every antlonality has contributed big league stars. This refutes any Idea that baseball has been cornered by America und cannot be developed anywhere else. Looking over the records of the past few years we find that Fiance Is repre sented by the great Lajole. by Clcotte, Fabrique, Ruth and several others. Ireland has contributed the Pelehnntys, Pat Mo ran. Morlarity, Killifer and a host of others. Scotland gave us McQuillan and • Chalmers. Bates and many others are of English descent. Italy Is represented by Abbattchio, Oulsto and Ping Bodle. Many great ball- | players have come from Germany, Bo- j hernia and Poland. Cuba is represented by Gonzales, Mar- ] sons. Cueto, Aragon and some others Japan has produced some great ballplay ers, ns has China. Callahan Is right when he says all Europe needs Is Instruction and when the J draft has taken many of our ballplayers j to the front the Instruction will be forth- j com! short distances at first As harmony and smoothness of action nro acquired the distances can be Increased. This requires faithful practice. When one has a good, serviceable crawl, he Is lifted from the novice class and considered an expert swimmer. For the crawl Is sw'imdom's master stroke Practice the following Instructions on land until letter perfect. Then go into the water and do the same. Don't mind swallowing a little water. The stroke as a rule is easier to do in water than on land. First let us get the leg motion. Simply wave the legs up and «snvn. kne*s stiff and ankles limber. Turn the toes t little inward. The Impetus is obtained from the feet and not the legs. The feet should not be separated more thaln 14 Inches. In order to master the movements I niuar refer to the photograph. My left arm is Just leaving the water after a stroke and my right arm is just entering. ided to close its season with the games of Sunday, July 15, 1917." The club owners reached their decision to disband after a three-hour discussion. While the Montana clubs Insisted upon playing out the season, Seattle and Van couver were equally anxious to terminate It. Russ Hall sided with the Montana cities but voted the other way when President Farr of Spokane sided with the coast cities. A suggestion to transfer the Tacoma club to Billings and then form a four club league with Butte, Great Falls and Spo kane, was voted down because the Spo kane team refused Its consent. President Farr of Spokane declared that baseball in Spokane is dead this season and he is through. ALEX AND TY CARRY GREAT VALUATION If you were a baseball manager, which pair of players would you rather have— Ty Cobb and Grover Alexander, or Tris Speaker and Eddie Collins? Perhaps It's a hard question to answer, but any time you had to shell out the dough for players with the liberal hand that the Chicago ami Cleveland clubs did for Collins and Speaker you would think a long time. Speaker côst the Cleveland club In the neighborhood of $55,000, the biggest sum ever paid for a ball pi A yer. Collins was sold to Comlskey for a cash sum said to have been $50,000. The Great Alex cost the Phillies Just $750 and Ty Cob*» was picked up by De troit for the same amount of money. Looks like Cobb and Alex are the pair carrying the greatest value with them, yet they cost only one-tenth as much as the present "owners" of Collins and Speaker paid out to obtain a title to their services. Bum sports are plentiful, that's right, Just stop and watch the average fight; You'll find the fellow who begins It Is he who nearly always wins It. • | j BUTTE TEAM WILL PUT UNTIL SEPT. I Series of Games is Arranged With Great Falls—Spo kane to Disband. Although the Northwestern league will disband next Sunday, Butte will have baseball until September 1. This became assured when the Butte and Great Falls teams arranged to play games against each other In Butte. Great Falls. Lewis town. Billings and Helena. Seattle and Tacoma will play a post season series next week, alternating be tween Seattle and Tacoma. Spokane and Vancouver will disband after next Sunday's play. The decision of the Northwestern direc tors to give the pennant to the team In the lead after next Sunday's play will probably mean that Tacoma will cop the bunting, although Great Falls and Seattle have a chance. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE POST The swimmer lies on .ue stomach, face submerged and alternately strokes with the arms, pointing them downwards. Do not bend the arms at the elbow. As one arm leaves the water the other enters The breathing is a bit confusing. It Is best to take a dozen strokes or so with out breathing at first, until you get the idea of the leg and arm movement. This Is easy. Just lie flat on the water, move the legs and arms as directed, and you will be surprised, when you lift your face for air, at the distance you have covered. Sometimes It Is well to practice the leg kick Independently by holding to the tank s trough with the hands and pro ceeding with the legs and feet as directed. In breathing, exhale with the faro sub merged and Inhale quickly through the mouth shortly before the right arm has finished its stroke. This is accomplished by simply turning the head as in the photograph AFT ER 17 YEAR S' BEST Samuel Hardy, Former Coast Champion, Making Young sters Hustle.

Chicago, July 10.—There seems to be disposition O', the part of John McGraw and other mc.agers to run Bill Byron, umpire, out of the National leAgue. It ha» been done before and there is every reason to believe that Byron will go the way others have gone. If destiny does not get an umpire, managers will. There fare watch for Hymn's dismissal. McGraw has a heart of steel when It comes to dealing with umpires. When they are the least bit incompetent and give and take with him on the field their road Is rough and ragged. Little rest does he give them. His sarcasm »tings and he can do more things to »et the fans on the arbiters than any other man In baseball, possibly excepting Johnny Evers. And McGraw, It Is said, nevet hesitates to make an umpire's life miser able when he believes him Inefficient. Hank O'Day Is one official McGraw has never succeeded In running out of the league, although it was said he promised to do so after that memorable game In New York in 1908 when O'Day'» decision on the Fre<l Merkte "bonehead" play cost the Giants the championship. After that game McGraw declared ho would get O'Day, but has never done It because Hank Is one of the best umpires in the game. It has not been so long ago that the Giants' leader caused Umpire Bush to be banished. Bush says so himself. He was over In Oakland this spring when the Cubs played there and Raid: "McGraw got me out of the league Tt was because of a correct decision I made against his club in New York that cost the Giants the game. The Cubs played the Giants that day. New York had men on thin! and second, with one out. Fletcher, 1 think, hit the ball past the pitcher and It struck the heel of my shoe Just a little. 1 said nothing, but the play did not escape Johnny Evers. He quickly called it and when the umpire behind the plate asked me about it. 1 said the hall hit me. According to the rules no runs could score. This filled the bases and the Cubs played back for a double play and made it. The Cubs won, and after the game Moflraw told me he would get me out of the league. He succeeded." There Were Others. The Giants' commander is not the only manager who makes an effort to rid the league of officials who apparently always give his club the worst of decisions. Mai Eason, who now lives on his ranch in New Mexico, asserts that it was only the managers who could not take their medi cine that lost him his place on the Na tional league staff. When seen this spring he seemed to place the blame on the shoulders of George Stallings of the Brick Owens, who is now one of the best indicator handler» In the American league, was ousted from the ranks of the National by President Barney Dreyfus». Owens, who was teamed with Bill Bren nan. gave a few decisions that were not approved of by Dreyfuss. Later In Pitts burg Owens was said to have been found In a gambling house by detectives the Pittsburg owner had on his trail. For this the umpire was given his release, and after officiating In the American as sociation for one season was signed by Ban Johnson. It Is Impossible to deny that the um piring in the National league this season has been considerably off color, if one Is to consider the number of wrangles that have taken place. But Byron Is not the °nly one who has found It necessary to eject managers and players. Klein, O'Day, Rigler and others have hiul to do the same thing. Byron seems to be getting an overdoso of it because he was punched by McGraw and because he is too autocratic on the field. Managers and players contend that he is square and gives his decisions as he sees them, hut trying to rule with an iron hand Is what makes him disliked. Byron, however, has lost much of that spirit, and promises to develop into a much bet ter man If the players and pilots will give him half a chance.
