It is Found in the Races This Season That They Are as Good For Distance as For Sprints, The New York Tribune marathon swim held lately over the Battery to Sandy Hook course promises to revolu- tionize conditions in the field of long- distance swlmming. It has been the prevalent opinion up to the present that speeq races and tests of endur- ance were things totally apart, to be taken separately and approached from opposite angles, with different strokes. But Sunday's great contest shattered the theory at a blow. Not oniy did George Meehan of Bos- ton, an exponent of the latest crawl and o middle-distance swimmer new tlie marathon game, win the coyeted event, badly beating Samuel Richards and Charles Durborow, who have made mont & life study of out-and out dia tanee work, but several sprint special ists, Walter Dunn and George MBssel borh among them, were creditéd with sterling performances, although pra. tcally eerving their novitiate over the will ‘arise a new school of distance swimmers, pinning their faith in the so-called speed strokes. Eoy athletes nowadays have cast aside the shackles of tradition and no_longer cling to the idea that grandfatfier's methods could not be wrong. Theéy are keen. broad- minded and progresaive, and they read #nd learn their lessons in the success of others, profiting thereby. In future the coach who tries to persuade his young pupil that the modern strokés are not suited to marathon racing s likely to receive a commiserating smile for his trouble. No_more striking proof of the all- round value of the trudgeon and crawl could be had than the table of per- formances in the recent swim. It shows that under the constant super- vision of competent and reliable offi- clals of the amateur athletic union, rs of these strokes negotiated 10, 15 and up to 22 miles without sufféring the least li-effect. Almost without ex- ception the men left the water com- paratively fresh and in splendid condi- tion. And the same table illustrates graphically the wonderful progress made in swimming during the last few years.
