'Isaacs won Virginia Open with
75-73-72-7l but is not included
in averages because tournament
is open to Virginia pros only.
The above averages are moi
exact. because Bassler, Peacock
Romans, MusSer and Bass all
played in one event where they
did not turn in a card. But
under the conditions Of the
early season tournaments-rain
cold, courses in bad condition
etc.-there were some excuses
for picking up. In fact, some
of the top pros in the section
have several no cards and thus
could not be included. One
pickup was overlooked.
If there's a dark horse in
the above II names it could be
Gibson. The Baltimore pro has
won the Maryland Open once,
been runnerup three times and
in three of his last four out

TYLER, Tex. July z R.-
Shelley Mann of the Walter
Reed Swim club. Washington.
D c., smashed the worlds rec
ord for the 100-meter butterfly
tonight in winning her third
championship Of the women's
national AAU swimming meet.
She made it in 1:l1.8, which was
l.8 seconds under the world
mark of 1897 set by A. Voorbij
of Holland in 1865.
1t was the first authentic
worlds record of the meet. Sew
eral other worlds best marks"
have been bettered but not the
real worlds records.
The others have bettered
worlds best marks for 50-meter
pools where the worlds records
we're set in 25-meter pools and
Ivice-verSa, AAU officials eX-
Iplained.
AAU officials said they would
submit the record for recogni-
ton and saw no reason why it
would not be accepted since the
pool meets all specifications and
all conditions are ideal.
Miss Mann, who previously had
won the 400-meter individual
medley and the 200-meter butter
fly. bettered the AAU and Amer
lean records this afternoon in the
preliminaries with l:145. The
7 old record was l:15.0 set by Betty
Mullen Brey of Walter Reed in
1855. Mary Jane Sears of Walter
Reed was second with 1893 and
Mrs. Brey finished third with
1:14.3.
In winning the 400-meter indi-
vidual medley, Miss Mann also
bettered the worlds best for a
50-meter pool and earlier she set
world mark in the 20-meter
butterfly, new event.
Carin Cone, the 16-year-old
school girl Of Ridgewood, N. j.,
won her second championship of
] the meet in taking the 100-meter
backStroke with a time of l:14.5.
This was a new AAU and Ameri-
can record, lettering the 1855
set by Miss Mann in 1854.
