NOT ROBBED OF RECORD
Mistake of Daniels in SzcimmiHg
Race No Fault of Officials.

Owing to the bitter attacks made on the Metro
politan Associations officials for their conduct OF
a recent swimming match, II became necessary
for James F. Sullivan president Of the Amateur
Athletic Union, call Otto Wahle, the official
swimming Handicapped. to report on the race in
question. which he has done as follows:
Tn relation to the 44o-yaTd swimming race held
on March l in Madison Square Garden. some papers
reported that through error made by the off,
cials c. NJ. Daniels had to swim two laps difty
YARDS more than tha actual distance and was thus
robbed Of worlds record. This report is utterly
false. The question has been taken up by a few
periodicals and has been made use Of for attacks
on the Amateur Athletic Union and the Metropoh-
tan Association IN particular and for these reasons
hasten to give you the details Of the actual oc-
currenca.
There mistake made by any official
The correct number Of lengths was announced 10
Daniels on each turn. Daniels did not hear. as
happens frequently a swimmer who swims with
his head low in the water Unfortunately he be-
came confused IN his count and continued for
another two lengths after his race was actually
finished The time. minutes ss 2-5 seconds, was
taken correctly at the right moment The story IN
the papers inspired by the press agent of the
Sportsmen's Show and the result OF an out
burst Of temper his part. He tried to interfere
that evening with the conduct Of the races by
forcing his advice the officials, which was, OF
course, declined. The officials Of that evening
the most capable in the swimming lire, and
I am giving you their names herewith: Timers.
Rob Stoll New York Athletic Club; Mort Bishop.
New York Athletic Club: Harry Hinan. New
York Athletic Club; Harry S. Lyons, New York
Athletic Club; Edward J. Benson. New York Ath-
letic Club, and A. Sivori. Pastime Athletic Club.
BY comparing Danelss time with the worlds
record for five hundred yards any person with
common sense tell that it is impossible for
human being TO swim 40 yards (440 plus two extra
lengths) in minutes IS 2-5 seconds I timed
Daniels for the intermediate distances and can
only say that he was hopeIessly behind the worlds
record
