n YEW YORK, April I3.-1ne
mi swimming fans of today are
Y loyal to their idol of few
years back, Mr. John (Tarzan)
Weissmuller. One of them, watching
Jack Medica shatter almost every free
style record in the book during the Ma
tional A. A. U. meet. observed in a
tone Of quiet scorn:
That doesn't mean a thing. Weiss
muller is beating crocodiles every day
out in Hollywood. and the best these
guys can do is beat each other"
I suppose it's true that Mr.. Weiss
muller has graduated to higher plane
of swimming competition since he
entered the movies. No one ever has
clicked a crocodile in action, to my
knowledge. but they say that these
great jungle beasts can make sucker
out of the average human swimmer.
In addition to crocodiles, Mr..
Weissmuller has outSwum lion,
a couple Of leopards, three or
four hippopotami and any num-
Der of highly -touted rainbow
trout.
That makes him the champion of
the animal world, which accepted him
as formal, licensed member on the
day he first played Tarzan. But
animals are not everything. i'm
agine Mr.. Weissmuller gets homesick
sometimes as he loafs around Holly
wood boulevard. or spars six rounds
with his charming wife, for the days
when he was human swimmer in
good standing.

They also dug up some nifty back
strokerS to take the place of peerless
Gawge Kojac. Japan gave us one Of
our worst ickings in the back stroke
in 1892, taking first, second and third
places. Now we have two promising
youths in Adolph Kiefer and Albert
Vande Weghe. Both of them smashed
records right and left in the A. A. U
meet last week.
If Mr.. Weissmuller has a spark oi
patriotism in him guess he willingly
would trade his membership in the
Ape and Crocodile Sporting ano
Chowder Club for a crack at those
Japanese next year.

Then, with equal audiences,
his game swung back to even

For, after going out in AZ, he came

Is a delicate affair"
Why Bobby Jones Faltered.
THE case of Bobby Jones Is much
easier to explain. Bobby not
only has been out of competition
for around five years, barring these
two Augusta starts. but in addition
has gone in for other games, tennis
and shooting being two of his favorite
sports.
He has played much less
friendly or casual golf in the
last year than he once played.
To step back against field of
ranking stars, to keep his game under
the terrific pressure that bears down
upon every starter again was asking
too much Of mortal skill.
The old touch wasn't there. As
Bobby put it. Il would have to start
out in January and not only give
many hours to practice. but also play

You are right about the pace they

the 72 holes-but that was strokes

1t might be mentioned here that
Little is going to be a lot of poison
for any amateur this Summer in the
British open and United States open
He Is hitting every type of shot well
and he is the type of competitor able

Little's tremendous power also

to combine power with control.
1t is something of a spectacle to

be the first time this week they have
reached first base against the weather.
CHICAGO.-Real base ball weather
was promised today for the Chicago
Cubs and White Sox, who were kept
from resuming their city series battle
yesterday by rain and cold breezes.
Manager Jimmy Dykes stuck to his
decision to use Les Tietje, young
right t-hander, against the Cubs, but

Tank Records Fragile Stuff.


THERE'S no doubt that he was the
fastest of them all. Maybe he
is still. But it's going to be hard
to prove it after a few years, when
Medica, Flick, Gilhula ct al, finally
have smashed the last of the Weiss
muller records. There's nothing so
fragile as swimming record. No one,
not even Weissmuller. has realized
fully mans capacity for speed in the
water.
This Medica is the best of the
amateurs right now. The other night
he stood at one end of the New York
A. C. pool removed his cheaters,
peered uncertainty through the arti-
fetal light and dove. Two minutes
ten and eight-tenths seconds later he
climbed out of the water with the
fastest 220 ever swum in competition.
Weissmuller did it faster once, but he
had a running start and no company.
Medica was just starting. Two
nights later he crawled over 500 yards
of shining green water in minutes
16 $40 seconds. 1t was 23 SECONDS
better than Weissmuller's best and Is
seconds better than the record OF the
great Scandinavian distance fish, Arne
Borg. En- route, Medica broke the
records for the $50, 800 and 400.
This young man from WASH
ington is dark and sleek and
very unlike Weissmuller in his
physical frame. Neither of
them is stocky and barrel-like,
as great swimmers once were
supposed to be.
If you go to the movies you know
the general outlines of WeiSsmullerS ;
shape-lean, abnormally tall, small
head, tremendous shoulders. He gets
his speed mostly from the rapid power
Of his arm stroke. Medica has a bet
ter leg drive and more perfectly
synchronized motion.
