Two Consistent Winners
Commodore Vanderblles Vagrant
and Carroll B. Alker's Istalena were
consistent winners In the various legs
OF the annual cruise. The first port
made after leaving Newport was Nat

Day Cup Rsee Is Feature Event
The most remarkable event Of Ae
year, the greatest Of its kind ever held,
was the international 3h-mile race
for the Day Cup. Il brought out a
splendid field OF hfty-two contestants,
aud every one completed the rough
and difieult course in New York Bay.
This was particularly surprising IN
that most Of ths contestants were girls
under seventeen, a dozen child lassiss
Of ten 10 twelve. But even more re-
markable was the fact that the Eve
leaders beat on the way the record for
the thrce.mile stretch from Point
Breeze 20 Brighton Beach set By the
noted Miss Bleibtrey in 1871. Miss
Ederle, the winner, clipped the lstters
time by nearly Eve minutes.

Instead, neither scored an iconoeiss-
tic feat, but a pair Of young water
queens sprang suddenly from the ranks
Of the same organization and proceeded
TO slssh worlds standards by ineredi-
bic margins Before the twelyemonth
had passed Miss Gertrude Ederle, A.
teen years old, had established her
self conclusiyely as the greatest ALL
around swimmer Of her sex ever pro-
dueed, with Miss Helen Wainwright,
sixteen, as next best IL was the most
amazing development Of the season In
water sports.
Miss Wainwright wns first 10 leap 70
the front. In the months from April
10 July, inclusive. she swept everything
before her, winning a long string OF
national championships and wiping out
marks right and left. She shattered
standards all the way from so yards 70
one mile, and two performances, In
particular, give an idea Of the striking
speed she attained. Over open-water
courses she covered 2i7 yards In
,2.lll-5, which means around 2:A5 for
22o yards, as against the worlds out
door record Of 1858. and she did one
mile In 26itt 4-5, or nearly three MIN
utes under the former standard.
But on August Miss Ederle startled
the aquatic fraternity by defeating
Miss Wainwright IN the vomen's In
ternational three and a half mile swim
for the Day Cup at Brighton Beach,

i5o-yard worlds time By 4 4-6 seconds
70 l:l5 and bettercd other records pre-
portionstely.
Six Records In One Race
Her most sensational achievement
shading any performances by man or
woman. was a bO0-meter swim In which
she created six new international
standards. The extraordinary nature
Of the feat Is indicated By the fact
that on the way 70 the full distance
she passed l40 yards In bibt%, slieing
the huge chunk Of % seconds from the
former record.
No less remarkable was the back
stroke swimming Of Miss Sybil Bauer,
Of the Illinois 4. c.. Of Chicago. She
eelipsed every record made By woman
AZ thIs style Of natation and set, among
others. new marks Of t:i5 for 100
yards, s.06 as for 220 yards and

tered wholesale.
The outstanding feature was the
amazing swimming Of an eighteen
year-old youth, John weissmuller, Of
the Illinois A. c., Of Chicago. Easily
the greatest swimmer ever developed,
no wiped out international standards
virtually every time he went into ac-
tion, and most Of the new marks he
created bettered the old by Strikingly
big margins. One Of HIS noteworthy
achievements was 10 lower the 1oO-yard
record Of o;b3. long held by Duke
Kahansmoku. He beat the time under
all kinds Of conditions. turning in
.052 2-5 as HIS fastest official perform
ance.
Weissmuller did not race at dis
tances beyond 300 metres, but he swept
the board up 70 this mark. Among
his brilliant exploits were a 220-yard
swim In 2:i5 3-5, 440 yards In sos i-5
and 800 metres in 6:l2 3-5. which
clipped the former records by l-5,
eight and nine seconds, respectively.
He also accounted for several back
stroke standards, his best feats being
i00-yardS In i;04 4-b and 15o yards in
1;44 SO.
Over longer distances than touched
BY Weissmuller the question Of leader
ship remained in doubt, for the fore
most stars did not meet. Tom Blake,
Of the Los Angeles A. C., won the ma
tional championships at $50 yards and
ten miles. Clyde Goldwatsr, Of Saera-
mento captured the one mile event, but
the times made were not remarkable
and there Is little doubt that Richard
Howell, Of Chicago, could have taken
the three classics had no started, for
in the Chicago River marathon he de-
feated BY 300 yards the noted Norman
Ross, holder Of worlds records from
$50 yards upward.
