SAN BENITO, June 21.-An exhi-
bition Of some Of the wrestling holds
used by the worlds best matmen, and
also an exhibition Of boxing as il is
done in the fastest circles, furnished
the amusement at the smoker Of the
San Benito Athletic club Tuesday
night.
The wrestling holds were demon
strated BY Johnny Carlin, Scandi-
navian champion. and wrestler Of con-
siderable fame in this coGstry. He
used Red Aubrey, local wrestler, for
the demonstration of holds.
Carlin is to appear in a wrestling
match in the Valley in the near fu-
ture. il arrangements are completed
by "Chief" Reynolds. who brought
the wrestler here. He probably will
meet Jack German of Kansas City.
and the match will be staged either at
San Benito or Fort Brown.
Dick Wymore. featherweight cham

who ranks in the same class with
Wymore. put on the gloves for one
Of the fastest six-round exhibitions
seen in the club. They punched away
at a lively clip. with the advantage
almost equal, and delivered some
mighty socks which were tempered in
their effect by the eight ounce gloves
used at the club.
Joe Taylor and Vernon Galloway Of
the local club went through three
rounds of fast boxing, and George
Sanders and Jack Lebowitz gave an
exhibition Of heavy hitting which
brought much applause from the
fans.
A larger crowd than usual attended

Uncle Sam, living between two big
oceans with the Great Lakes on the
north and the Gulf of Mexico on the
south, should know something about
water sports-and he does.
Your Uncle's swimming and diving
lads Look to be about the best crew OF
aquatic stars which will enter the
forthcoming Olympic fracas at Ans
terdam, Holland.
Fact is, the United States has 50
many good splashers that a host OF
good boys are due 10 he left on these
shores when the Olympic ship steams
away, simply because there is no
oom for them.
TO show how good Uncle Sans
boys have been IN the past, u. $.
representatives, took Is of the II
water events in the 1924 games, which
were held at Paris.
Of the 4S recognized worlds swim
ming records on the record books
this year, 20 were made by Amer
icans-almost three-fifths!
One of these records, the 100
meters, made by Johnny Weissmuller
in 1924, was broken just the other
day by Johnny himself in the San
Francisco national outdoor champion
ship swims.
Neissmuller. the lanky star of the
Illinois Athletic club, OF Chicago, Is
one Of the greatest swimmers of all
times. He is little short Of a marvel.
Johnny holds nine worlds swim
ming records and he hopes to add TO
that number when he gets to Amster-
dam this summer. It's almost a sure
cinch that nobody this year will sur
pass the Chicago wonder.
IL the San Francisco swims are an
indication Of what Uncle Sans new
vies are going TO 90 in the water az
Amsterdam the rest Of the world may
as well not don bathing suits. For
not only did Johnny break his own
record, but six inches behind him
came young George Kojac, Of the
New York Boys club, who, though
beaten BY Weissmuller, bettered
Johnny's old mark.
Another world record fell when
Clarence Cresbe, an American BY way
Of Honolulu, moved Arne Borg, OF
Sweden, Is champion of the one-mile
swim. Crabbe, in the California tank
events, bettered Borg's old mark by
almost a minute.
Still another famous fish on whom
Uncle Sam can depend for glory IS
Walter Laufer, who did not partici-
pate in the San Francisco swims.
Laufer wasn't able to make the trip
10 the coast and thus the Chicago
Lake Shore Athletic club ace had no
chance 10 strut his stuff.
Laufer, il must be remembered, IS
the national indoor all-around cham
pion and a whiz in water.
Other speed stars are Walter
Spence, Of the Brooklyn Y. NJ. G. a.;
Weston Kimball, Austin Clapp and
George Harris, Hollywood A. C.;
Reginald Harrison, San Francisco
OLYMPIC club; Paul Wycott, Union
Y. NJ. G. A.; Charles Prouty, IL
linois A. c., and Paul Samson, Of the
New York Boys club.
At this time it looks as though
anyone winning the Olympic diving
championship will have 20 beat Peter
Des Jardins, Of the Roman Pool 5. c.
Of Miami, Fla.
Pete is national champion in both
the 10-foot springboard and high
platform dives, and is generally be-
iieved to have the ed-e on all others
mentioned for the 0lympics.
The return of Albert White, OF the
Athens A. c., to competition gives
Des Jardins a good opponent for first
American honors.
Yessir. il looks as though Uncle Is
well taken care Of in the water.
