by that peerless swimmer Charles NJ. Daniels.
in the tank Of the New York Athletic Club last
night The opportunity for this unheard-of per-
Torrance was afforded in the 1.000-yards match
race between Daniels and II. J. Handy Of the
Chicago Athletic Association. This was the

clubs
All interest centred in the meeting Of these
rivals Although Handy has never shown HIM
self the equal Of the tall New Yorker he is con-
sidered a wonder in the West Handy is also
probably the only amateur in this country who
uses the crawl stroke for all distances. His
crawl differs from the stroke used b. others
in that he keeps his legs out straight behind
with practically no movement getting all MS
power from his arms.
Daniels swims with a crawl at times, but he
uses his legs. In the race last night Daniels
started with the crawl, shifted 10 the trudgeon
and finished with the crawl
At the crack of the pistol Daniels took the
water first and from the start he showed I'm
front At the end of the first lap he had opened
up a gap Of ten Yards. and the cry went up at
once that ne was going to kill his opponent off
early in the contest.
Continuing the great pace. Daniels reached
the 100 yards in 81 seconds. ana when the time
was announced the spec ators broke loose with
cheers The champion slowed down during the
next 100 Yards. however the time for the I'D
yards being minutes and 10 seconds.
In the mean time Handy had been falling
steadily back. and when the 25O-yard mark was
reached by the New Yorker the visitor was
nearly a lap to the bad, Daniels made the 25O
yards in , minutes - % seconds. thereby
breaking the old record of ) minutes 10 second
held by himself
