NEW YORK. May 17.——The outdoor
swimming season for women. already
launched in the southern districts.
soon will be a record breaker in every
sense of the word. There is assur-
anee of increased competitive activ-
ities throughout the country: more
and better contestants than ever be-
fore are in the tleld. Indoor perform-
ances raise the belief that many na-
tional and world's standards will go
by the board.
Although the Amateur Athletic Co-
on refused its sanction to the trip
abroad of the Misses Gertrude Ederie,
Helen \l'ainright and Aileen Riggin,
champions of the “‘omens Associa-
tion. the three went anyway and a
number of swimming rrcorris abroad
will doubtless be shattered before
they return. ,
The three stars will be back in
ample time for the title fixtures. so
(my will have oppourtunity aplenty
to attack records. Judging from
their winter work the two iirst should
not fail to shatter a number of listed
marks.
'Nor will it he surprising to see the
local organization spring some new
wonder mermaid. Last summer Miss
Ederie leaped into international
leadership almost overni,,ht. Lately
several of the “2 S. A. lassies have
shown striking improvement. Any-
tliing may be expected from them.
Especially the Misses Ethel hchary.
Doris O'Mnra. Lillinn Stoddnrt. Fran-
cis Cooney. Virginia “’hitennck and
Kathryn Brown. girls in the enrly
teens. seem to have exceptional pros-
pects.
So far no back stroke devotee has
came forth to dispute the supremacy
of Miss Sybil Bauer of llllnois A. 0.
Chicago. a marvel at this style of
swimming. but the noted “‘inry City
star may herself be counted upon to
better most of her own world'- open
water records. for she has been pro-
gressing steadily.
Several breast stroke opponents
must be rated potential record
mkers. Foremost among them ap-
pears Miss Eleanor Coleman of the
Milwaukee A. C... but her margin of _.
superiority is so slight that any one of » ‘
half I. dozen may overcome it. and.
display record breaking speed. includ-
ing the Misses Peggy “'iliiarnson of
the same (-luh. Dorothy Andre of De-
troit. Edna. O'Connell of the Illinois
A. C., Essie Harrison of Boston. Ruth
and Eleanor Smith of Columbus.
Two young free style sprinters
thought to threaten the laurel. of the
present top notchers are Miss Minnie
De Vry of the Illinois A. C. and Miss
Helen Condon of the Athletic Club of
ornaha. Nob. Miss De Vry set a rec-
ord for 100 yards in a sixty foot pool
lately and Miss Condon is said to- be
thrashing 50 yards in around standard
time, so both look dangerous.
_ In California. they expect great
things of Miss Marie Curtis of the
Des Angeles A. (2.. all around outdoor
champion of the Pacific coast. With-
1 the last few weeks she has returned
e fastest performances of her career
in pool races. and it is being predicted
that she will show telling speed over
the longer courses in open water.
‘ The report comes that Miss Gwitha
fihand. middle distance champion of
Row Zesland has been invited to
compete in Honolulu and that efforts
fill be made to induce her to visit
this continent. If the visit material-
fees. as hoped stirring racing should
in witnessed. for Miss Shand has done
440 yards in 6:09 time which only
Miss Ederie and Miss \V’ainwright ever
have beaten. the latter. moreover. un-
der more favorable conditions.
‘VCompetltion in fancy diving prrm-
be. to be very keen. The W'omen’s
|wimming Association has four form-

Schliebner Goes to

In an inter-league trade with the

JACK JOHNSON TO
BOX HARRY WILLS
After waiting two years for some
action. Jack Dempsey si going to get
plenty of it all at once. Tom Gib-
bons. Luis Fit-p0 and Harry Wills are
in line for bouts with the champion.
Gibbons and Firpo will be accommo-
dated. but there still is a question
whether Dempsey intends to tight
W'ilil.
Jess Willard hopes to get a crack at
Dentpsey this summer. Xi illard must
beat Firpo to get the math and that
is a large contract for the veteran.
If Dempsey uere allotted to follow
his own inclinations he probably
would take on \Vlllard as soon as
pomible afterthe Gibbons atfair at
Shelby. Firpo would come next. That
program would take up Jack’s en-
tire summer. so thst he would have
a good excuse for passing up “fills.
Dempsey knows that the longer
Wills is' compelled to unit the leg
chance the black will have. for Harry
has been losing form steadily during
the past two years.
Wills probably will be seen in ac-
tion over in the ball park at Harrison.
N. J.. on June 15.- Jack Johnson
writes from Havana that he has been
oflered the date and accepted the
terms. It is now up to T‘i‘ills. John—
son says that if \Vills does not so-
cept he will be matched with the
best man the promoters can obtain
for him. 1
“Villsand Johnson probably would
till the Harrison ball yard despite
the numerous important mathes that
will be held in New York in June.
There is a great deal of curiosity to
see Johnson in action. “’hether he
can hold his own with'a top notchcr
is a question7 He knocked out

Johnson the physician who examined
