Only once was Carson outsmarted at his own game. In 1919 he himself was kidnapped by that other master of muscle journalism, Walter Howey (now editor of Boston Hearstpapers). Carson at that time was day city editor of the Chicago Tribune, under Editor Captain Joe Patterson. Howey wanted him for the Herald & Examiner.

But what pleased everybody most was that...
...addition to being coach of the Freshman swimmers, 39-year-old Peterson is also Varsity diving mentor and is chiefly responsible for Varsity divers Shaw McCutcheon and Brad Patterson, who, before coming under Peterson's tutelage, had never dove in competition. This year, he succeeded in converting Freshman swimming Captain John D. Eusden from a mere beginner into a swimmer who has reportedly done 54.6 for the 100-yard free style...
