BRIDGEPORT. Conn, August 11.
-—Paul Zegger. “Holland's Olympic
point. winner in the games at Ant-
werp in 1920. set a new time record
in winning the cross-sound swim
from Old Field Light, L. I. to Sea-
lido Park yesterday. His time was
nine hours 44 minutes and 30 sec-
onds. bettering the mark made by
Walter Patterson in 1919 by 11
minutes and- 30 seconds.
The Dutch swimmer wore the
colors of the Capitol Swimming Pool
of Hartford and was considered an
outsider in.,the race. Despite his
victories in the Olympic games, four
years back. he was thought to be
nothing more than a more mindle-
dlstance swimmer. He showed won-
derful stamina in covering the dif-
ficult course which was close to 21
miles Old Field Light is 1:5 miles on
a direct line from Seaside Park but
due to the changing tides and stiff
Sound currex’its. Zegger was forced
to travel an additional eight miles to
reach the Seaside stake, which was
about 200 yards off the bathing pa-
vilion.

The man who scored the first of
the avalanche of runs that sounded
t e death knell of the Athletics in
t2e world's series of 1914. is still
quite active in baseball. thank you.
lie is George Whitfed. This vel-
oran is now managing an independ-
ent team at Mt. Carmel. Pa.. and
playing good ball along with hie
managerial duties.
Whitted drifted out. of the big
show a while back alter a rather
colorful career.
Fortune surely smiled at him
when he broke into the National.
league. He started his pro career
with Savanah in the South Atlantic
league back in 1910. He moved over
to Jacksonville that same season
and by August of 1912 had made
such a. rep in tho "Sally" circuit
that the big league clubs started
bidding for him. The Cardinals
won out in the bidding.
A Lucky Move.
0 The Cardinal bosses. however.
after trying him at second, at third
and in the outfield. decided they
could get along yiihout him and
traded him and Outnelder Cather
to the Braves for Hub Purdue in
the middle of the 1914 season—Just
in'flme to wish George into the
world's series money with Sailingo'
Miracle crew.
It is history that the Braves lick-
ed the long reigning Athletics in
four straight games—virtually an-
nihilating them. And it was Whit-
ted who started the first batting
spree of the Braves in the first
game that. sounded the knell of the
\Vhite Elephants.
The first tubing was scoreless. In
the second Whitted worked Chief
Bender for a‘ pass. Gowdy's double
scored him with the first of two
runs acquired that inning. Then.
in the sixth inning. George helped
drive the Indian from the box by
slamming out a. triple that scored
Evers and Connolly. George scor-
ed later. accounting for three of the
seven runs made that game.
The Braves hammered Connie
Mack‘s hurlers for nine more runs-
that series while turningithem back
four straight times. ‘
he Brave owners decided that
wi for that they wanted Sherry Ma-
goo so they traded Whitted and
D1180! to the Phillies for Sherwood.
0n the face of it Gorge-corned to
be getting a rude Jolt . There was
little to smile over in being wished
from a championship team to one
that had finished sixth the year be-
fore.
Moran Surprised Him.
But George soon found himself
riding toward another pennant,
thanks to..tbe gepenlship of the
late Pat Moran. The Philadelphia
batters found themselves helpless
before the Red Sox mound crew
that fall, however. so George had
fob. content with the losers' dlvvy.
But he did establish a permanent
residence in the outfield. something
he had failed to do in St. Louis and
Boston. It was not until he was

The Springvmods went down to
defeat yesterday afternoon at Radio
Field at the hands of the hard hit- ; Russell 53
ting American Chain team
Bridgeport by the score of 5-2.
The Hill Tops went down fighting
through with one run across the
plate and three men on base when
the game ended in the ninth.
About all that can be said in ac-
cording for Springwooas defeat is,
"to much W’argo." The Chain’s
backstop was the batting demo-t of
the game. collecting three iii-‘3 out
four times at bat. One of Abie's be-
being for two base and another tor
three. His double drove in one run
in the sixth which tied the score at ;
1-1, and his triple pushed acrossi
two more in the eighthsAltogether
his hat was responsible for four out
of the five runs scored by the
Chains.
Redway and Tarlov carried off
the batting honor for the Spring-
woods with two hits apieccs out of
four times at bat. One of Abie's be-
ing for two bases in the ninth inn-
