tween that country and the United
States IN connection with the firing on
the launch Of the u. s. 8. Tennessee
by the Smyrna forts few days ago.
The Turkish governments says that
the port Of Smyrna was mined and
closed to navigation, and the shots
fred by the forts were merely the Gus
tomary warning to the American war
vessel not to attempt to enter. In this
connection, Joseph p. Tumulty, Presi-

ElRlRlNOEU BOOSTED
lNERIG'S 1874 RECORD

- Il y u.
American watermen made history
during the outdoor swimming season OF
1914, Brilliant performances were the
rule rather than the exception at all the
important meets, national and world
standards were smashed with free hand,
and il is significant Of the great leap
taken by water sports throughout the
country that representatives of half a
dtzen different districts took part in
the record breaking.
The most gratifying feature Of the
summer competition was the remarkable
progress shown by the middle distance
men. II may be remembered that only
two years ago we hadn't a single quar-.
ter-mil,r able 10 figure IN the Olympic
games OF 1912 at Stockholm, vet now
we can point with pride to several
cracks like Perry McGilIiyray, Harry
Ilebner, Herman Lanbis, Duke Kahana.
moku, Herbert Vollner and Joseph
Wheatley, fast enough TO meet the best
Foreigners. and to the international
leader, Ludy LANCER, who created new
world : mark Of 5:22 Us (75-yard dash)
last July.
LANCER also lowered the national half
mile time to ll:46 2.5 under duli!af
conditions, coming within seconds Of
the worlds record, and others did al
most rs well, SO that at the rate we
have been improving it should not be
long before the half and one mile
standards are added TO our credit
We may, therefore, look confidently
forward 10 allround superiority over
al nations in the near future, for al
ready we are inyineible in the spirits,
a fact well proved BY recent events.
