German See,i,un7er Sets
q Nesv HUorid's Record
Bretline Srnas shes the
Mark Set by G. NJ.
Daniels Last Year.

Curt Behrens, the champion fancy diver
of Germany. now competing for the City
Athletic Club in this country, has received
information from friend abroad Of per-
formances recently made by the German
swimmers which, in view of next summers
Olympic games in Sweden. are good enough
to worry about.
In 6OO-metre relay race for teams OF
three men, juniors against seniors. held
last month, c. Bretting. of Magdenburg-
covered zoo metres in "a %. breaking
the worlds record of :26 for the distance
established just a year ago in Pittsburgh
by c. NJ. Daniels. of the New York Athletic
Club. In the same contest Steffens covered
the course in 2 :32. Kuhne, a sixteen-year-
old boy. was timed in 2 :33 2-5 and Gieseke
a fifteen year-old boy, in 2 :3j. The two
last named are newcomers in the com
petitve field, and have not hitherto been
considered even possible Olympic candi-
dates
In the relay race at Stockholm four men
will have to swim 200 metres apiece. and
Max Ritter of the City Athletic Club who
took second to Perry McGilivray in the
220-yard national Amateur Athletic Union
championship, will compete for Germany
while Binner, who is credited with ability
to travel the furlong in c:3o, also will be
available.
It is evident. therefore, that the Teutons
will have in the water quartet likely Ia
average a shade under 80 for 200 metres
which, Judging from results in our indoor
championships. is quite beyond the speed of
the best American middle distance men. II
is question. in fact whether the strong
est team Australia can muster would he
fast enough 10 defeat the Germans. And
there seems no doubt about the reported
figures being accurate, for Behrens's in
formant witnessed himself and held the
watch at the meet he writes about
Bretting has also added TO his achieve
ments a 100-metre mark of :02 that makes
him dangerous for the Olympic sprint, for

Marlin, Tex, March 7-Athough they

caped. An early dusk closed in this after-
noon. with the town still sweating from its
vapor bath, and no signs Of a rift IN the

This made the seventeenth day In camp

profited thereby about as much as 1t Is ex-
pected in two days Of hard work under

BALDWIN AT HIS BEST

Forcing the pace in nine OF the ten
rounds and landing the more effective

the National Sporting Club Of America
last night. Baldwin boxed to form. lie
was fast. strong and aggressive through
out the entire bout, and those who sat at
the ringside wondered how Knockout
Brown ever managed to outpoint him. Only
once did Mario make the Back Bay man
break ground. In the fourth round Mario
cut loose a volley of walops to the pody
that made Baldwin beat disorderly re-
treat and stall for wind.
Right from the sounding OF the first
gong Baldwin went out to demonstrate
the manner OF boxer he Is. lie spared
lightly for the moment. and then he ripped
home a solid left to the face, and repeated
Il twice more without return. The Italian
was puzzled by the show of speed pu'
landed a few punches On the body.
Mario showed no Improvement In tho Sec
ord and third rounds. He was always
strong. but he was boxing defensive pat
tle. He held his own at inhghting, but
otherwise did not show 10 advantage.
Throughout the remaining ROUNDS Bald
win had all the better Of the exchanges
and I'm the seventh round drove his man
back with terrific right on the chin. lie
touped off his performance by knocking
Mario down with a left and right on the

hurt. the West Side boy jumped right up
and fought like wild untih the bell changed

TIMELY BITS OF SPORT
Absence of Two Strong Players
from Big Pool Tournament.
KEOGH HAS A GRIEVANCE
Hueston Said To Be Planning to
Challenge Winner for the
New Trophy.

There was some surprise among lovers or
the old game of pool now digniied as
pocket billiards, that the entry list for the
professional championship did not contain
the names of Jerome Keogh and Thomas
A. Hueston. both former holders OF the
title. Albert Troescher. when questioned
yesterday, said that both Keogh and
Hueston had been notified Of the tourna-
ment, but had not been heard from. lie
added that a number of close followers OF
the game understood that the two men
were standing out from the tournament
with the expectation of rushing in chal-
lenge upon the winner.
''If this is their intention said Mr..
Troescher they are making mistake
for the first consideration as to challenges
will be accorded those who compete in the
tournament Such an arrangement will un-
questionably make 1t a long while before
either Keogh or Hueston can get chance
at the title. A great number of keogh
admirers, and the former champion hlm-
self think that he has just cause for be-
lieving that he was unfairly dealt with as
10 the matter Of his challenge to De orc
the last of November, 1911. keoghs chal-
lenge was not received within the specified
time, and consequently the old champion
ship emblem passed permanently into DE
Oros keeping. 1t is because of this that
the present championship tournament Is
being played TO place a new emblem in cir
culation.
THE players who have entered the tour
nament will hold several meetings before
the matches. 1t is planned TO revise the
playing rules and to shorten considerably
the length of the championship games. In"
stead of 200 balls night. it probably will
be 125 or 80. The matter of respottins balls
also will be changed and number of i'm
