A. L. Dual Meets.
STANDING OF THE TEAMS.

After two weeks posrponement be-
cause of the Easter holidays, competition
in the Junior indoor dual meets swim
ming championship tournament, under
the auspices of the Public Schools Ath-
letic League. was resumed yesterday
morning in the College Of the City OF
New York natatorium, where three In
dividual meets were decided. That the
layoff had no bad effects on the contest
ants was proven by the fact that three
of the competitors bettered the leagues
records in their respective events.
OF the six teams which competed
Townsend Harris Hail. Stuyvesant and
the High School of Commerce came out
victorious. The Townsend representa-
tivess defeated the lads from Evander
Childs. 33 to 2S; Stuyvesant youngsters
won from Erasmus Hall of Brooklyn, 80
to %. while Commerce took the measure
Of Manual Training of Brooklyn by 46
to 13.
The lads responsible for the bettering
of the records were all representatives OF
New York schools. They were Jack
Sadlo and William Weinstein. botn VI
Commerce, and ]. Farrer of EVandcr
Childs. Sadlo accounted for figures in
the SO yard swim when he negotiated
the distance In the fast time Of 20 4-5
seconds This beat the record of 80 sec
onds, made by ]. Arnold of Manual
Training of Brooklyn In 1919, by two
and one-ffth seconds. Weinstein scored
his noteworthy performance in the 200
foot breast stroke swim when he went
over the distance in l minute 2-6 sec
onds. The record for this event Is l
minute seconds, made by J. Morgan Of
Stuyvesant on April 25. 1919.
Farrer swims Fast.
Farrer, the last of the record breakers
to get into action. returned the best feat
OF the three when he clipped four sec
onds from the 100 yard record, held by
]. Kennedy OF Stuyvesant made two
yeas ago. Farrer won the vent as he
pleas(h In the remarkable time Of min
ute 13 2-5 seconds. Many of the specta-
tors were OF the belief that IL the Evan
der representative had been forced to ex-
tend himself he might have returned
even better time. Farrer Is a sturdy.
well set UP chap, who will be heard from
in future competition. He uses a fast
overland stroke. which carries him
through water at a remarkable clip.
The p. s. A. L. officials declare when
the individual championships come
around Farrer will displace Kennedy as
the century record holder.
Another fine performance which de-
serves mentioning was that of p. Cum
mings Brooklyn lad representing
Erasmus Hall, who was clocked In the
fifty" in 80 2-5 seconds, which Ia only
two-fifths Of second behind the record.
Before the series Is brought to q close
the Buff and Blue natator will equal IL
not better the mark. He showed re-
markable speed In getting away at the
start and IL an expert in making the
turns With few weeks more compe-
tition the Brooklyn boy should have
little difficulty in bettering the record.
The Townsend-Evander meet, the first
on the programme. was the keenest of
the three and was not decided until the
400 foot relay event, tho last event, was
ever Townsend's team, composed of
Ereenberg, Reis Bloom and Eltinger,
got off to a good start and won easily
in / minute as seconds. Before this
event was decided each team had three
victories to Its credit. Evander tri-
umphed in the fancy dive. the 80 yard
swim and the 220 yard event. Town
sends victories, besides the 100 foot re-
lay. came in the 500 foot relay. the 200
foot breast stroke and the 400 foot
relay
Stuyvesant and Commerce had much
easier time winning over their opponents
than did the Townsend boys. Stuyvesant
won four of the seven events from
