NEW GARB FOR MERMAIOS
Women swimmers Must Wear
More Modest Suits: A. A. U.

That the women swimmers who are
registered with the Amateur Athletic
Union must wear more modest suits
when in competition was the edict
passed at the meeting of the swimming
committee of the Metropolitan Associa-
ton. which was held at 20 Warren ST.
last night. In future meets the women
will have TO garb themselves in suits
of black material, reaching from neck
TO toes.
It also was decided that a woman
Handicapped be appointed TO give the
proper marks to the women swimmers.
The selection will probably be made
some time next week. Mis- Adeslne
Trapp, the first woman swimmer TO go
successfully through the treacherous
waters Of He'll Gate, stands out most
prominently for the position.

lanes BUTLER NO
PIKER IN RACING
PAYS John F.. Madden $4,000
for Eight Warnings, Six of
Which Are by Ballot.

James Butler confirmed yesterday the
purchase OF eight choicely bred year
lings from John L. Madden for a price
said to be $4,000.
So it happened that the sale OF the
great PAGER Directum for $4,000
transferred an INTESTINE. from light
harness horse to more thoroughbreds.
Six of the eight colts purchased are
sons of the untricd stallion Ballot, but
he was such magnificent individual
himself and from such sturdy line OF
winners that it will be surprising in
deed il he does not make good in the
stud. The yearlings and their breeding
follow:
Chestnut colt by Ballot La Sorella
RI, chestnut colt by Ballot-Livonia,
brown colt by Ballot Sallie X, black
colt by Ballot Courtplaster, chestnut
colt by Ballot-Blue Danube, bay colt
by Balot-Elsie b., black colt by Star
Shoot--Ivory Bells and chestnut colt by
Voter-Pastorels.
Only three American thoroughbreds
won more money on the turf than Bal
lot. They were Domino, with his total
CT sl93, $50; Sysonby, with Sl84,43s, and
the unbeaten Colin, with SlSO,9l2. Bal
lots total was s154,5i5. All four raced
in the colors Of the late James r..
keene, and it is small wonder that with
such remarkable performers his name
so often adorned the top of the list Of
winning owners.
Ballot is a chestnut son Of Eo r.
Cerito and was foaled in 1904 at the
Castleton Std He is pure English on
both sides, for Mr.. Kecne imported
both his sire and his dam.
The colt by Star Shoot-Iyory Bells
is a half brother to Old Rosebud, which
shared with II. p. Whitney's Pennant
the distinction of being the best two
.ear-old Uf 1918.
