MORE MARKS BROKEN
BY HELENE MADISON
Skaters Two Canadian Records
and Shares in Another
in Exhibitions.

BY the Associated Press.
MONTREAL, April 23.-Breaking the
i00-yard free style Canadian record,
Helene Madison Of Seattle, Wash, con-
Guided her exhibition swimming here.
She lowered the mark to l:0235 and
placed the new record in the book along
with the 220-yard mark she set up on
Tuesday night when she slashed the old
record by 1884 seconds. The old mark
for the 100 yards was 1907.
Miss Madison and her companions
also smashed a relay mark, racing over
the $50 medley event in 1859, which
is 25 under the United States record
the same team set up at New York re-
Gently. In this event Miss Dawn Gil
son and Miss Lucy Schacht, also Of
Seattle, made up Miss Madlsons team.
Not satisfied with these records, Miss
Madison attackedtthe Canadian 50-yard
mark and cut it from 0:2935 to 0.274s.

PICK BERG TO WIN
CANZONERI'S TITLE
Two Crowns Staked in Bout
Tomorrow-S60,O0O Gate
Is Expected.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
~HICAGO, April eff the senti-
ment of the Chicago wagering
gentry is correct, the light
weight championship Of the
world will be transferred from Tony Can
zoneri to Jack kid Berg OF England
tomorrow night in the Chicago Stadium.
Berg, already owner Of the trick
junior welterweight title, today had be-
come an 8-to-5 favorite to take away
the crown the New York italian won
from Al Singer several months ago.
Canzoneri, however, was not without
hackers, who figured him to knock out
the Whitechapel windmill early in the
scheduled l0-round battle.
Fight for Two Titles.
Both titles will be at stake. Berg
having weighed in at the lightweight
limit, l35 pounds, yesterday after his
final serious workout. CanZoneri prob
ably will come in at 1873.
The fans have not stormed stadium
ticket Offices. but gate in excess Of
S60,0 900 is anticipated
A change has been made in the sup
porting card Ralph Lenny, Union
City, N j., lightweight, was unable to
reach Chicago in time and Barney Ross
Of Chicago was substituted as the OPP
ponent of Lud Abella of Spain in one
of the eight-rounders.

THERE still is nothing that quite
takes the place of old-fashioned,
alright pitching when 1t comes
to winning ball games. And it
takes no more than a cursory examina-
ton of the records up to now to discover
why the st. Louis Cardinals and Boston
Braves are setting the National League
back on its heels, nor why the New York
Yankees are doing likewise to the junior
circuit.
They have been getting some swell
pitching. In seven games the Cards
great mound staff has allowed only 10
runs, considerably under 3 to the con-
test. and the Braves surprisingly stout
staff has given up only % scores in nine
tits. Yankee moundsmen have held
opponents to % runs in eight games
and five of their starting pitchers have
been in at the finish. This would seem
to be as good an answer as any to the
skeptics who wondered what the Yanks
would do for pitching this season.
Zachary InvincibIe.
BY way of contrast. only one member
of the Philadelphia Nationals staff. Jim
Elliott, has managed to go the route in
nine games.
Tom Zachary became the third Braves
hurler to start and finish in as many
days when he set the hapleSs Brooklyn
Robins down with scattered hits yes
terday and BANKED them, to 0. So
completely befuddled was the flock that
Uncle Robbie sent in pinch batters for
Babe Herman and Lefty O'Doul in the
ninth.
Two Card pitchers, Sylvester John
son and Jim Lindsey, gave a similar
masterpiece in beating the Cincinnati
Reds, to 2. They allowed only four
hits, and not Red was left on base
Although the Yankees increased
their advantage over Washington and
Cleveland by trimming the Boston Red
SoX, to S, there was little satisfaction
IN the victory. Babe Ruth was injured
going after fly in the sixth inning and
there was possibility he would be out
several weeks. Up to the time he was
hurt the Bambino had driven in three
runs and scored twice.
Critz's Homer Decides.
three-run splurge in the seventh
touched off By Hughie Critzs home run,
enable the Giants to nose out the
Phillies, 5 to 4, in their debut at the
Polo Grounds. Clarence Mitchell went
the route, allowing II hits, but checking
the Phils in the pinches,
Pat Caraway was invincible after the
second inning and the Chicago White
Sox opened before the home folks with
10-to-2 win over Cleveland. Eichrodt
led a 14-hit assault on three Indian
curvers with four hits and sacrifice in
five trips
Rain kept the Chicago Cubs and
Pittsburgh Pirates apart, and wet
grounds prevented the scheduled Tiger
Brown skirmish at Detroit
