Mary Freeman Sets
Backstroke Mark in.
President 5 Cup Race

Sixteen-year-old Mary Freeman
Of Ambassador Swimming club set
a new record last night as she
stroked to victory in the 100-meter
women's backstroke of the Presi-
dents cup swimming events at
Indian Spring Country Club.
The blond swimming star thus
added another laurel to her SWIM
ming crown, which includes ma
tional junior records this year in
the one-mile and 200-year back
stroke.
Miss Freeman, who has been
swimming only two years. was
clocked at 1921 to better the re-
gatta mark of 1924 made last
year by Takoma's Bette Roland.
Earlier in the day. Mary did
even better in the trials, when she
was timed in 1901.
In the nightcap event, the 300
meter medley relay, the Maple
Grove Swimming club of Lam
caster, Pa, took the honors. AM
bassador was second.
Miss Freeman wasn't the only
Ambassador swimmer to take rec
ord honors during the rain
drenched evening. Young Bill
Fleming and AL Hobelmann placed
one-tWo in the 50-meter back
storke for boys IA and under.
And in the bargain, the time of
1862 established a new cup regatta
record for that class.
Rain or shine, the regatta re-
sumes today with trials at 2 pm.
and finals in nine more events to-
night at 8 o'clock.

gi mano vardas Antanas). Su

pradejau eiti j vakarinius ma

Believe or not, miela Dirva,

beti ir SUI kitais zmonemis. Is
