NEW YORK WOMEN
LEADN AQUATICS
Again Outscore Rivals in Ma
tional A. A. q. Swimming
Championships.

The fair contestants Of the New York
Women's Swimming Association have
again demonstrated countrywide leader
ship in water sports this season. as
they did also In 1918. Members OF the
association scored the greatest number
OF points in the national A. a. U.

cluded. They ran UP a total OF 20
points, while their closest rivals, the
mermaids Of the Meadowbrook Club Of
Philadelphia and Athletic Club OF CO.
lumbus. Ohio. earned ls and "a points
respectively.
1t should be added too that these
figures are somewhat misleading, for
local stars were unable 10 attend the
80 and 220 yard title swims and the
girl who won both events, Miss Bessie
Ryan of the Meadowbrook Club. was
defeated by New York's two leaders
just before she left for the coast Miss
Charlotte Boyle took her measure con-
clusively at 100 yards and Miss Ethelda
Bleibtrey outswam her at 800 yards
Miss Boyle garnered eleven of the
points credited to the home organiza-
ton. She won the 100 yard free style
swim and the plunge for distance, then
took third in the 500 yard swim. Her
middle distance times leave no doubt
she would have captured this fixture
also had she not been laid up with
a slight attack OF influenza during the
preceding week.
Miss Bleibtrey contributed eight

swim and finished second by a touch
In the $50 yard back stroke contest
/ which, II needs be mentioned, saw the
worlds record for women lowered by

1 Little Miss Helen Wainwright, a

total to twenty points by taking third
place in the senior fancy diving spring
board championship. an event IN which
