never competed at a distance longer
than the furlong, and it was hardly
thought possible a girl with only ten
months experience in the racing field
would have the least chance against
the famous mcrmaids booked for the
event.
SO it was with absolute amazemcnt
that those who attended the meet saw
the local star take the measure of Miss
Thelma Darby, Of indianapolis, ana
finish bare touch behind Miss Olga
Dorfner, of Philadelphia, both credited
with worlds record speed at 500 yards.
But what seemed most to impress COM
potent judges was the remarkable form
displayed by Miss Boyle
All admitted they have never seen a
fair natator with such a perfect stroke,
and several expressed the belief that
the home girl will very soon attain in.
