SWIMMING RECORDS SHATTERED BY TRIO NEW YORK, March 11 (®).—Eric. Rademacher, Germany’s invading breast-stroke champion, and Walter Laufer and Marry Glancy, aquatic aces of the Central Y. M. C. A. of Cin- cinnati shattered severnl swimming records in the 75-foot pool of the New York Athletic Club last night. Rade- macher accounted for two registered world marks. The German star's exceptional per- formance came in a 100-meter (109.36 yards) breast-stroke handicap, in which he conceded allowance to Charles La Fargo of the New York A. C. and Harold Filorence of the New York Boys’' Club. On the way to the full distance Rademacher passed 100 yards in 1:08 3.5, beating the listed mark of 1:09 2-5 made by Walter Spence of the Brooklyn Y. M. C, but failing to equal the latter’s newly claimed record of 1:08 2-5.

Cyril and Pat had been cutting a wide swath through- out the South that Winter and when they faced Charlay and George even the warmest supporters of the latter feared for the result. Charley and | George showed their courage, how- ever, by wagering $25 ssau and $10 a hole that they‘could beat the conquering pair. The match was played over the No. 3 course. " It is proof of the wide- spread intefest in the struggle that, dlthough Hagen, Barnes and a couple of other big stars were performing on another links nearby, the gallery thronged to No. & Turning Point Came. Mothersele and Fotheringham man- aged to get a lead of 1 up on the first four holes. Then came a play that brought the blow-off and was the turning point of the match. The fifth i{s a par 3 hole of 230 yards, but not one of the contestants reached the green on the tee shot, which. because of a heavy wind, necessitated the use of a driver. Walker, O'Hara. and Fotheringham were a bit short, while Mothersele was away off at the vight side. Mothersele played first and chipped his ball to within 5 feet of the cup— on the right side and a little beyond hole high. Fotheringham was 12 feet short, playing from the right side of the fairway. O'Hara was 14 feet short, playing from the left side of the fairway, and Walker, also shoot- ing from that eection and putting a little more stuff on his ball after watching his partner’s play, ran past the cup and a little beyond Mother- sele’s ball. Pat O'Hara missed his putt and it was now up to Charley and George to try hard to get down & 3 while preventing Cyril from doing the same. ‘Were Out to Win. “We were out to win that match,” says Charley, “and we thought that the earller we got a lead the better.” George's ball was farthest away, but Charley did not let him shoot first. “I'm going to play, George, said, and then explained LENGTH OF HOLE ~ 230YDS.
