ONE MORE FOR DANIELS
SWIWS IN BEST FORM.
Makes Nezc Record IN Tank at the
Sportsman Shoe.

Charles NJ. Daniels. OF the New York Athletic
Club, the worlds champion amateur swimmer.
broke another record last night in a special match
against his club mate, c. D. Trubenbach. at
the Motor Boat and Sportsman's Show at Madison
Square Garden. Daniels covered the eighty yards
IN o43 fat This is two-hfths of a second better
than the previous record made by himself at Pitts
burg.
Daniels asked to concede Trubenbach five
seconds and prior to the start there were many
predictions that the champion would be unable to
turn the trick. the crack of the pistol Truben-
bach got away well and made such good use of his
allowance that he had placed more than half the
length of the tank between himself and Daniels
before the latter took the water.
From the instant, however, that the champion
struck out with the famous crawl he began TO
"eat' up the distance that separated him from his
opponent AT forty yards Daniels had drawn up
within eight feet of hts man. and when they
touched for the last the record holder
scarcely than yard behind. Trubenbach
worked hard, but there was no denying the cham
pion who never swan in better form. Seven yards
from the finish he had drawn level. and the race
was his by full yard. When he made his mark
at Pfttsburg Daniels paced. that last nights
record has the added merit of being made In COM
petition.
Followers of the sport will be glad to learn that
a series of races have been arranged between Dan
ies and H NJ Handy OF Chicago. The rivals will
meet some time week Just what the dis
tances will be have not yet been decided upon,
but Daniels said last night that he would take
Handy for any distances up to three hundred
yards. This Is his limit, he has not been swim
ming two hundred yards this winter. Handy
is. of course desirous of making the races as long
possible, the longer he goes the better he
gets.
