Rome (U.P.) International
swimming performances indicate
that Holland and the United States
will share major team honors in
women's events in the 1886 Olym-
pics at Berlin.
While one of these two coun-
tries undoubtedly will win the
championship, individual titles are
likely to be widely distributed.
In free style events, 100 and 400
meters and the 400 meters relay,
tho Argentine, Brazil, Canada,
South Africa and Japan all have
young women who will dispute
forecast victories for Holland or
United States representatives.
Lenore Right in Top Flight
Among the fastest free style wo-
men swimmers to-day are Willy
den Ouden, Holland; Olive Nc
Kean, Dolores Smith and Lenore
Right, United States; Jeanette
Campbell. Helena SALES, Brazil:
Kazue Kojima, Umeke Shrimi.
Yukil Arata and Hatsuko Morio-
ka, Japan; Jennie Maakal, South
Africa, and Phyllis Dewar, Can
ada.
Little Pink-cheeked Willy den
Ouden probably will be the lass to
beat at Berlin in both the 100 and
400 meter events. She was second
at Los Angeles in 1882 in the 100
meters and lost only by inches to
Helene Madison. Miss den Ouden
has the following times in free
style events: 100 meters, 1:04.S;
100 yards, sos; 200 meters, 2:2S.6:
400 meters, 5.16; and 500 meters,
CASA. The latter mark broke the
worlds record of 6:59.S, held by
Lenore Right, United States.
Seattle Girl Outstanding
Olive Mexican, Seattle, is gen.
orally regarded as the successor
to the great Helene Madison. She
has numerous national and world
marks up for consideration, in
Guiding 1:03.S for 100 meters. He
lene Madison's winning Olympic
time at Los Angeles was 1:06.S.
Dolores Smith, New York, is SWIM
ming in record time and improv-
ing steadily.
Lenore Right, Homestead, Pa,
was second to Helene Madison in
the 400 meters event at Los An
geles. She probably is better over
the middle distance than in 100
meters. She has a time of 2:36.S
for 220 yards and recently swarm
500 meters in 1852 compared to
Helene Madison's record of 7:22.6.
Jeanette Campbell and Phyllis
Dewar occupy positions in Argen-
tine and Canadian swimming COM
parable to that enjoyed in Holland
by Willy den Ouden.
New Records Set
During the South American
swimming championships held
this spring in Rio de Janeiro Miss
Campbell established new records
by winning the 100 meters in 1:0S
and the 400 meters in 5:47.S. In
the latter race she swan away
from the field and flashed power
and style which places her among
the finest swimmers in the world.
On June IS at Winnipeg, Phyllis
Dewar, British Empire Games
champion, won all Canadian free
style events from 100 yards to one
mile. She established new 100 and
440 yard records and swan the
mile in 23:32.4.
Nora Johnson. Chile, is another
promising South American ~ m
mer. Miss SALES is national Bra
lillian MOO meters champion.
Japan Not So Strong
Hatsuko Morioka has a best
time of $3.50 for 400 meters and
1888 for 500 meters. Miss Kazue
Kojima holds the Japanese record
of 1:f4.s for 100 meters.
Defeating Holland In the wo-
mems relay probably viii DO the
biggest task encountered BY wo-
mems teams. The United States
won the event at Los Angeles In
ASS. This year two NetherIander
teams selected from Willy den
Ouden, Reik Mastenbroek. Sell
back. A. Timmermans. r. Baum
eister and q. Brewers have times
OF 4;4f.B and 4;4i.2 against weak
opposition. At Los Angeles Hol-
land was second and Great Brit
