DANIELS WINS AGAIN.
OUTCLASSES ALL RIVALS.
Despite Poor Start, S7cimming
Champion Wins at TraUers Island.

c. NJ. Daniels won the 220-yard Metropolitan AS
ISOLATION Amateur Athletic Union championship at
the New York Athletic Club swimming carnival at
Travers Island yesterday. This was the feature
Of the carnival but in a way proved dsap-
pointment. the winner of the contest had no
opponent OF his calibre. Overcoming a poor
start, he passed the leader inside of seventy-hve
yards. and could have by fifteen yards had he
exerted himself. The time slow.
The rain of the morning replaced by bright
sunshine in the afternoon. and exceptionally
large crowd of spectators was on hand to witness
the carnival. They crowded the porch of the
clubhouse. and fully four hundred persons wit
messed the aquatic programme from the adjoining
bluffs.
InnumerabIe craft dotted the water. making the
scene picturesque and attractive one. Among the
craft anchor near by were several boats of the
Larchmont Yacht Club. The programme was run
off smoothly and the contests were all interesting
and often holly contested to the very finish. Some
OF the races were decided only in the final tve
yards.
The 22O-yard race had four entries. Daniels got
OF poorly and for fifty yards brought up the rear
of the procession. while Goodwin led. In q great
burst of speed he rushed ahead Of the leader at
the fo-yard mark and reached the turning point,
the llO-yard mark, in the remarkable time of
los S5 which is six seconds better than the record
for the Travers Island course. At that point he
was good ten yards in the lead. This lead he held
until fifty yards from the finish. when he slowed
down and finished three yards ahead OF Goodwin,
the second man.
J. p MantelI, Of the West Side Young Mems
Christian Association, lost the hundred yard dash
through OVeranXlety. Manteil, VINO is a son or
Robert Manteu, the actor. the first heat in
good time, and the odds-on favorite for the
final heat. But instead Of waiting for the count of
six seconds which was his revised handicap, he
got off two seconds ahead of the pistol and lost
through the foul He easily, finishing four
seconds ahead of his nearest competitor. Had he
waited for the pistol he would still have by a
good margin

time in the first heat 1I3 10 and lis time for
