biggest surprise of the year by romp-
ing away with the national 500-yard
championship in minutes 5 rs sec
onds, smashing to pieces the former
record for mermaids.
So rapid and steady has been her
progress since that not single defeat
has marred her career at distances
greater than the furlong. An idea OF
her remarkable ability may be formed
from the fact that last September, in
the national outdoor mile, she clipped
more than one minute from the 44O-
ward record, two and half minutes
from the half-mie and more than
four minutes from that for the full
distance. Her times were minutes 20
seconds, Is minutes Is 3-5 seconds and
81 minutes 10 3-5 seconds, respectively.
They haven't been touched to date.
Miss GslligaE swims a long, slow
stroke, which carries her through the
water without check of splash, so
smoothly that her work appears almost
effortless. She is an ideal competitor,

rivalry. Her success has left her mod
est, and her constant good sportsman

fans.
In several instances she has been
known 10 start III events for which she
was unprepsred, and risk defeat rather
than refuse a challenge or disappoint
the public.
Miss Gall;gan is twenty years old,
tall and slight. a lover of the great
outdoors and adept in many lines of
sport. She drives her own car. runs
her own motor launch. rides horse
back, plays baseball, basketball and
water polo, and made her mark on
track and field while at high school.
