Her Own Mark for 100
Yard Backstroke Swim

Miss Sybii Bauer, peerless back
letic Club, Of Chicago, completed her
visit to New York with another worlds
record performance in the 75foot pool
of the Brighton Beach Bath yesterday
afternoon.
Competing in a scratch invitation
100-yard race, she defeated Miss
Aileen Riggin and Miss Dorothy Dono-
hue, Of the New York Women's Swim
ming Association, who secured the
places as named, and covered the dis
tance in 1 minute 1545 seconds. The
former international standard for a
regulation pool, l minute 16 seconds,
was set by herself last March, when
she won the national championship in
Milwaukee.
1t is worthy of note that Miss Bauer
accomplished the great feat notwith-
standing a slight mishap. On ap-
preaching the end of the second lap
she swung around too soon and failed
to reach the WALL being forced to glide
up to it. Her turn was poor as a re-
suit and she lost no less than one sec
ond.
