HUMAN HYDROPLANE WILL REPRESENT U, S. IN OLYPMIC GAMES (By Associated Press) NEW . YORK, April 3. A human hydroplane, John Weismuller, of the Illinois Athletic club is being develop ed to represent the United States in the Olympic games at Paris in 1924. Still in his teens W'eismu'.'s ambition is to lower the world record time for every event on the swimming card. He already. has created records for at least a score of distances in the six months he has been in national competition. He will be 18 years old June 2. He was bom in Vienna, Austria, but his family emigrated to Chicago when he was an infant.. It was with a group of barefoot boys that he first paddled in the surf of Fullerton Beach. At the age of "eight he had taught himself , to keep afloat and until a year and a half ago he was his own mentor. He stands six feet one inch, weighs 158, has unusually broad shoulders and large hands and feet, part of the equip-! roent of -ail great swimmers of the past. "I don't think my, feet and hands have much to do with it," he said. "It's all in the stroke and the timing of the lands with the feet six beats to a stroke." Swims Every Day. Not a day passes that Weismuller doesn't swim. He takes a dip immediately after breakfast and frequently i3 in the water three times a day. In training he does not diet and on the day of a race he eats a big steak, welldone. He is fond of preserved figs, and once broke four records after filling his stomach with "hot dogs." Contrary to general belief he does not employ the Australian 6troke, but what he calls the "American" stroke and declares that the secret of his speed is in the perfect synchronization of his arm and lee movement. He breathes with every stroke, Im going after as many records as can In my first year of competition, he said, "and I may go to Hawaii in -May, LEWIS INJECTS PEP INTO MUNCIE POLOISTS Muncle's polo team won Its second

game from the Richmond five In thejPlayed the first rush position for the

Magic City rink Saturday night through the efforts of Ted Lewis, who donned a suit and spelled defeat for Richmond with his cleverness. The final score was 4 to 3, Lewis had not played for several years, and fans did not think. he wouM be able to put up a very good game, but . he surprised everyone with hi3 old-time form and speed in getting down the floor. Iewis was first to score for Muncie, a few minutes after Evans had slipped i through the . first -counter for Rich-! mond. - Fahrner followed with a clever ; goal , 50 seconds later. In the third period when the ccore was tied at three all, Lewi3 slipped through the final score that won the game. Evans and Fry were the main cogs in the Richmond offense, Jhe former scoring two and the latter one for the Richmond total. Tho Muncie fans turned out better than ever for the. Saturday game, tho crowd being the largest of any during the series between the two teams. Lineup and summary: (Muncie (4) Richmond (3) Lewis FR L.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

while Mrs. Marquard looks on. SCHMANDT'S HITTING! That's the big noise from the Dodger troupe as Uncle Robbie leads his Brooklyn team toward the opening bell. The young first Backer's terrific batting has been the outstanding featlure of the exhibition games played to date and there is every indication that he will start the season at this same steam-roller gait. Schmandt broke Into the Dodger camp as a utility infielder, being obtained fTom the Lincoln club of the Western league in the fall of 1918 via the draft route. He had had a'tryout, by the Browns previously. He was born in St. Louis, Mo., in 1896 and his playing with the" city league In his home town in 1914 won notice. The next season the Browns looked him over and farmed him to Bloomington in the Three-Eye leagueHe started the next " campaign with the Lincoln club and jinished with the Bloomington team. Then the Browns recalled him only 4o let him go back to the Lincoln club. v -Last year he played first in games and hit the ol' apple at a .305 gait. This year he hopes to better that hitting mark and is elated to nlav h& bag all season, barring accidents. A vicar of a scattered rural parish had a remarkable knowledge of fungi. So keen was he on his hobby that he sometimes neglected his pastoral work to search for specimens. One day he stopped to see a bedridden old lady who immediately remmded him how long it was since he had made his last call. "If I had been a toadstool," she declared, "you'd have been to see me long ago!" The first bout on the boxing card Monday night will start at 8:30 o'clock. The bout will be a battle royal between five colored lads. Fans should arrive in time to witness this feature, as it will afford much amusement. .The bouts will be held in tho Coliseum.

PAGE ELEVEN RUTH IS IN THROES OF BATTING SLUMP; AB. 18 TIMES, 4 HITS i ' " . (Br Associated Press) . NEW YORK, April 3. Followers ot the New York Yankee baseball team viewed with little enthusiasm the resumption of the series between that team and the Brooklyn Dodgers a! Little Rock, Ark., today. Their chief pride and boast, George Herman Ruth, appeared to be in the throes of a batting 6lump, and the wrecking facilities of the team were badly impaired George Herman has made only four hits out of 18 times at bat in the last four games and he apparently has lost the home run habit even when hitting against minor league pitchers There was some cheer for the Yankee fans, however, in the fact that Wally Pipp has regained his hitting eye. He got four two baggers against tne Dallas Texas league team yesterday and that was considered a fair day's work. The Yankees won by a score of 6 to 3. Brooklyn, on the other - hand, had been plowing along with the whole team hitting on all cylinders and tho pitchers doing real big league stuff. Pitching against Fort Worth yesterday. Mamaux and Mitchell held the Tex'ans to seven hits and no runs while the Dodgers were getting 17 hits and eight runs. - The Giants might have had a hard time in winning a game with Memphis yesterday if the Southern Association team had been able to field. The Dixie lads compared an error column that was most pretentious, and the Giants went away from Memphis with the verdict 9 to 1.
