No world records were broken, but
in the first event, the 110-yard swim,
free style, for women, it was noticed
Miss Mariechn Wehselau, Americas
only entrant in this event: was MAX
ing the pace very warm for her rivals
from the very beginning of tSe
sprint When she finally touched the
rail, three yards ahead of her near
est rival she had equaled her own world
record for the distance of / minute IL
2-3 seconds.
Charlton Scores Easily.
Charlton was not seriously troubled
in the 440-yard event, and he always
seemed to have the measure of Lester
Smith of San Francisco, his nearest
rival, although in the final squirt tho
Australian was forced to show his
very best swimming wares. This
final effort landed Charlton at the
finish three yards ahead of Smith.
The best race of the afternoon. and
the one which caused the most en-
thusiasm among the small group of
American spectators, was the 44o-
yard team race for women, each COM
petitor swimming 11o yards
The first pair, Miss Euphrasia DON
ner. finished their course in d dead
heat. but Miss Mackenzie soon
established a lead for the British
swimmers, and this was increased by
Miss shand: who swan against Miss
Miss Cant, Great Britain's last
swimmer, had a lead of nearly four
yards at the beginning of the final
lap. and it looked as though she
| would have a walk-away, but Miss
Wehselau just plowed her way through
the water, and at half of the dis
tance had reduced the lead of her oppo-
rent to about one yard. The English
woman began TO tire after this. and de-
.avo, AFcc "nhS
gained on her opponent at every stroke
and finally won easily.
Water Polo Game Exciting.
Those who were disappointed at
| not seeing Great Britain pitted
| against the United States at~water
polo in the Olympic games had their
desire fulfilled today. Although the
final score of 2 to l was in favor of
| the Americans, there was not much
| to choose between the two teams i'll
! the matter of tactics
Where the Yankees held the upper
| hand was in speed and accurate
passing. Hal vollmer, New York
A. c., scored Americas two goals in
the first half, during which time the
| run of play had been in favor or
| the visitors.
This was reversed during the
second period, Great Britain attack
| ing strongly and shooting often
Thanks to the excellent goai-keeplng
| of Fred Laver, Illinois A e, Great
Britain was only able to score once.

point about five minutes before the
