MISS BLEIBTREY Is
FLEETEST MERMAID
Outswims % Big and Little
Champions at 311a Miles in
Record Time.

Miss Ethelda Bleibtrey yesterday
clinched her title as queen OF racing
mermaids In sensational style when she
won the national long distance SWIM
ming championship from twenty-five OPP
ponents over the Point Breeze to Brigh-
route. She finished 100 yards ahead of
Miss Charlotte Boyle. a ciubmate. who
beat Miss Margaret Woodbridge Of De-
troit for the place by fifty yards. Her
time Of the distance. three and one-half
miles, was sc minutes 81 seconds, which
clipped 80 minutes 33 seconds off Miss
Elaine Golding's mark mnde in 1912.
Twenty-six girls ranging in age from
Q years to young womanhood made up
the field, and save one, little Miss Julia
Marmostein. the baby Of the lot, COM
pleted the full distance. Miss Marmo-
stein retired after racing half the dis
tance, not because she was too tired but
because she was so far back OF the
others that she thought further pursuit
was useless. She left the water happy
and smiling.
The two youngest contestants to race
from start to finish were Miss Kathryn
bTOWn anu MISS NUN 4Nlul san bbNi -
years old. Neither showed the slightest
sign of distress and both were in ex-
cellent spirits at the end Of the long
journey.
Little One Swims Fast.
Miss Brown showed remarkable
performance. She was the eighth girl
to finish and beat many older and more
seasoned rivals. Her time for the dis
tance was l hour 3 minutes 81 seconds.
Her performance shows the wonderful
progress made by girls in swimming
events during the last nine years and
by little ones in particular.
There is quite a difference between
Miss Golding. the statuesque record
holder of 1912. and the tiny but plucky
Mics Brown. Yet Miss Brown herself
shaded Miss Golding's record by big
margin. AS matter of fact Miss
Golding's mark got many jolts, for
twenty-four of the twenty-five starters
in yesterdays race bettered it. Such an
onslaught on a swimming record has
never before been recorded in race for
girls. 1t certainly speaks volumes for
the fine endurance and speed qualities
of the mermaids of to-day.

time. Captain Hertz see,aed to have
quoted down. The second call was
