Birds Clash ¥ At Stadium

Tribe Opens Long Home Stay Tonight; Cincy Reds In Game Tomorrow.

Since the home town Indians do auch better at home than on the road, the Tribe officials hope the

boys will get off on the right foot tonight when the Columbus Red Birds invade Perry Stadium. The teams will swing into action at 8:15 and it will mark the start of a long stay at the W. 16th St. grounds for the Schalkmen. Every club in the league will be seen here before the Indians again go out into enemy territory and it offers a swell chance for the Tribsters to advance in the race.

Third of a series of illustrated and informative articles by outstanding aquatic stars written in connection with National Swim for Health Week, June 26-July 1.

By GERTRUDE EDERLE First Woman to Swim the English Channel. NEW YORK, June 28.—Swimming should be practiced early in life because the power of endurance is gained through muscular exercise in the years before adolescence. Swimming is highly conducive to the development of endurance. When 1 was a youngster my father kept me in the water for hours at a time.

Was a Stayer.

I increased the time as I grew older, developing my muscles, chest capacity, speed, and stamina. I swam in the ocean a great deal, but always within reach of shore. Speed was developed as I went along. My early training was invaluable throughout the gruelling 31 miles of dangerous tides and cold water of the English Channel. I do not recommend long distance swims of that type, but I do indorse the development of endurance as a safety factor.

On their last home stand the Redskins pulled within five games of the top before dropping back and Manager Schalk plans to put on another drive starting tonight. It will be ladies’ night at the park. Two new plavers joined the Tribe since it left on the “late and| lamented” trip. They are Allen Hunt, outfielder, and Roy Easterbrook, catcher, both from the Durham Piedmont League club.
