Langerts Record.
Ludy LANCER of the Los Angeles Ath-
letic Club proved the sensation of the
closing day of the swimming meet,
July 5, by breaking the worlds record
in the 440-yard swim LANCER beat
Perry McGillivray, of international
reputation, by Is yards in 5:22 10,
just four-fifths of second better than
the worlds mark E. B. Kieran of sgd
ney made in bath 33 1-3 meters long.
The fact that LANCER raced in a long
er tank than Herman and that he out
classed Perry MeGillivray after Heb
ner had set fake heart-breaking pace
to draw out the Los Angeles boy,
goes all the more to boost the stock
of LANCER Kieran's open water mark
of ZIG made over 50-yard course is
still on the books, however. and Ian
gers record will go down under the
bath classification.
The 50-yard dash was flash of the
starting gun, splash, three arms
touching the finishing line almost at
the same time, and then the judges
had to tell us who placed and how.
Scott Leary sent the field away to a
perfect start. Interest naturally cen
tered in Kahananioku, Bah. Small
and Raithel. Duke and Small swan
side by side-in fact, bumped during
the race Raithel swan crooked
course. These things partly explain
the unexpectedly slow time of 0:24 1-5,
which at that wasn't slow, but under
0:24 could have been expected from a
field in which three such marvelously
fast men competed. Kahanamokui
beat Small for second in the last four
strokes, in which the Hawaiian's pow
erful shoulder play in his form stood
him in good stead. After the race the
three speedsters shook hands IN
sportsmanlike manner while still in
the water.
Relay All Illinois
The relay was ali Illinois, Raithel
giving his team a good lead from the
very start The contest for second
place was stirring. The Olympic Club
was second until the last lap. when
the two speedy Hawaiians, Kahana-
moku. Hui Nalu, and George Cunha, ,
Healani. took up the race. Cunha
beat Duke by a touch, with the Olym-
pic Athletic Club close behind. Los
Athletic Club was the other
entry.
According to Cunha, an allHawaii
relay team would probably have won
the race, as only length separated
