TIGER FRESHMAN'S
SWIMMING RECORD

PRINCETON, N. J., Dec. 16.-Not
until yesterday did it become genef-
ally known here that a Princeton
freshman had broken the intercolle-
giate time for the fifty-yard swim in
the inter-elass meets held in the
Brokaw tank last Friday night. Hor-
ace c. O'Sulllvan made the distance
in 25 SIS seconds, which clips fifth
'of a second from the record held by
Shyrock of Pennsylvania. The fall
ure to announce this feat was due to
some oversight on the part of the Of
ficials, but was made known yester-
day.
The time cannot be officially called
a record. for OSullivan was not swim
ming as a member of the varsity
team, but the coaches are rejoicing
over their find almost as much as
il the record were his. O'Sullivan was
formerly a member of the New York
A. c. swimming team, where he es-
tablished sn enviable record for so
young a fellow. and his speed was
recognized by giving him a place on
the winning relay team. He will be
eligible for the Princeton varsity next
year.

DECREASE IN STRENGTH
OF BOTH ARMY AND NAVY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-There was
net decrease of five officers and a
net increase of 4,455 enlisted men IN
the authorized strength of the regu.
lar army last year. The annual re-
port OF Brigadier- General George An
drews, adjutant-general of the army,
made public today, shows that the
present authorized strength of the
army is 1892 officers and S7,141 enlist
ed men, although the actual strength
is 4,650 officers and 1896 men. There
were 1,017 army officers on the retired
list at the close of the last fiscal year.
The navy is about 5000 men short
of it's authorized strength, though lat
est reports show an Improvement in
recruiting. In the past few months.
however, enlistments dropped off in
an unprecedented degree. Navy OFF,
cials believe this was due partly to
the suspension of advertising for re-
cruits and on account of the country
wide demand and high prices paid for
farm labor.

Speaking of hold-outs, every major

Eppa Rixey, jr., has fallen for the
good opinions about himself that he

In addition to making application
for dates in the grand circuit for the
season of 1918, r. Nj. williams. gem
eral manager of the Greater New
York Fair and Exposition Company
has applied for dates in the recently
organized metropolitan trotting cir
cult.
In the latter, Mr.. Williams would
like to have the first or second week
in August. AS the promoters are par
ticularly anxious to have the new
association a part of this chain of
meetings, it is probable that there
will be rearrangement of dates at
the next meeting. which will probably
be called next week. The Fair Asso-
citation has an option on two pieces
of suitable property, one in Manhat-
tan and the other on Long Island,
and as soon as they close on this
matter work on the plant and build
ings will begin Immediately.
1t is their purpose to build both a
mile and a half-mile track and to
conduct fair which will occupy the
entire month of August and which

hibit in this country. Horse racing
will be feature every day, and after
the two weeks session of the light
harness horses the runners will hold
forth. 1t is also possible that Mr..
Williams will put on series of anna
teur events for suitable trophies, to
which the members of any amateur
organization in this country are
eligible. This feature will doubtless
attract the members of many mat
inee clubs and should be wonderful
