Well, there is such a title-holder on

Long. Of course, he's not a real ndj

I separated himself from Uncle Sam's
service that's what everybody calls

is registered as M. C. Long, the "M"

At. present he is athletic instructor
in the Los Angeles public schools.
Kvery time there is a boat excursion
for the pupils the admiral goes along.;
He is an expert life saver.
"For many years." said the admiral.
"I also held the deep sea lead heaving
championship. 1 could get the lead
to the bottom better than any man
aboard ship."
Swinging Indian clubs is. according
to Champion Long, one of the finest exercises
in the world. It Is the one
sport at which tlierc is no danger of
straining ligaments or injuring the
body. Outside of swimming, he believes
there is no more uniform builder

superior strength should not indulge." '
said Long, "take in hand a couple ofj
medium weight clubs, and swing "em ;
for fifteen minutes straight. You'll
be In n lather and completely exhausted
when you time is up."
Swinging clubs looks so easy, warns !
Long, that the beginner is likely to j
overtax himself if he is not properly
coached. Light clubs are far better
than the heavy ones, and the greatest
benefit comes from the movements ;
gono through rathor than front tho j
physical effort of the exercise.
"It seems a pity." he said, "that so
little publicity has been given to gymnasium
sports in this country. Some
of the best exercises are those performed
in tho gymnasium. America
has not fully awakened to this fact.
But in Norway and Sweden, where
the people are In the grip of ley winters.
the true value of the gymnasium
is appreciated."
"Our navy realizes the worth of indoor
sports because the cramped quarters
aboard chip won't permit field
days on deck. Consequently a champion
in any lino of gymnastics aboard
ship amounts to something among sailormen."
