The leaders of the striking unions

WeiSmuIIer'S Record
Breaking Trial.

In the slow 75-foot pool of the New
York Athletic Club yesterday after
noon this sensational youthful star of
the Illinois A. c., stood alongside of
the famous Perry McGillivray, inter
national and Olympic star, Harry
HeDner, another Olympic swimmer,
Buddy Wallen, one of the foremost
long distance swimmers of the world,
yet the good sized gallery who came
to watch the try-outs for the Illinois
A. {. relay team that will oppose the
New York \. &. tonight in the Ma
tional Championships, did not pay
any attention to these stars as in
former years. Their attention was
attracted by this youngSter, Johnny
Weismuller. who few years ago was
watching the life guard use a crawl
stroke out at Fullerton Beach. And
they were well repaid for their
audience to the Chicago boy. for they
perhaps witnessed the festest 100
yards ever negotiated in "a 75 foot
tank when he swan the distance in
5l2-5 seconds. McGillivray, Hebner,
Seigel and Wallen ploughed through
the water seconds slower than this,
yet, with the exception of Weissmul-
Ter, they are four of the worlds rank
ing swimmers.
How did you ever develop such a
great swimmer" we questioned
Back" Bachrack, coach of the IL
linois A. c., who was timing his
protege. Back" laughed and said,
pointing to Weissmuller, who was rub
bing the water off his face with both
hands: Ask him. l just corrected
some of his faults in the water ana
taught him the things he didn't know
about the game, but he does the
swimming"
We repeated our question to Weis-
muller and he just said, Il don't
know. After watching that life guard
out at Fullerton Beach l just got to
like swimming and everything | do
Just comes natural to me.

muller. lie just dropped from no.
where into the tank in the Illinois
A. c., and nothing could stop the
world from hearing about him."
Joe Ruddy, the famous water polo
star, said; "Weismuller is the
greatest swimmer the game has ever
seem"
A physical prototype of Charles
Daniels with his graceful easy way of
gliding through the water that makes
great swimmer.
When he stops swimming his body
carries through the water, proving
the little resistance it offers. He is
a graceful swimmer using a powerful
siX-beat stroke at all his distances
and in build reminds one of Hal
Vollmer, the. N. Y. A. c. star.
The breaking of records means
nothing to this youthful champion.
But he has found his hobby and his
hobby is swimming.
Paul Kealoha and Duke Kaha-
namoku jointly held the 100 yard
worlds straightawuy record in open
water, of SO seconds. This record
stood for years until Weismuller has
bettered it on several occasions.
When he acquires his full strength
there is no telling how much he will
cut off all worlds records, perhaps
up to a half mile.
Just now, at little over seventeen,
he is easily the greatest swimmer the
world has ever seen since Richard
Cavil conceived the crawl stroke in
Australia, more than twenty years
ago.
