THE. EVENING WORLD,. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, * OTHER SPORTING NEWS )Rewangorgin Newest Sensation in Sport 18-Year-Old Weismuller, Is Marvel of Swimmers Chicago Youngster Owes Success to His Constant Practice, Having Already Beaten All of the Famous Duke Kahana- moku’s Records. ' By Robert Boyd. OR more than ten years the F bronzed, statuesque form of the great Hawalian swimmer Duke Kahanamoku stood out in bold relief in the swimming world. For two Olympiads, in Stockholm and Ant- werp, he amazed the Eyropeans by the easy manner in which he glided through the water, shattering all the sprint records, In Australia, a great swimming country, they “still speak cf the prowess of the tall, swarthy Honolulu giant, for on his recent trip to the antipodes he left a profound impression on the people in the land of the Southern Cross. Experts have been wondering just how long his records would stand and just what sort of an athlete would supplant the bronzé skinned Duke and erase all the marks that he has made off the in ternational record book. When the Duke was thrashing his powerful legs and long arms in record breaking performances “before the crowds Antwerp and Stockholm that acclaimed him the greatest ever, @ tall lanky youth out at Fullerton Beach, Chicago, was admiring the manner in which a life guard used crawl stroke. Mor days this awkward looking fellow would frequent the beach to observe the way the life guard thrashed his feet up and down and glided his arms into the water. He emulated the life guard, ana here lies the real beginning of the story of the development of the swimmer who was to some day ‘wrest the laurels from the great Kahanamoku and blot his name from the record books until it is merely a memory to- day in the sport in which he gained such prominence, Weismuller’s Record Breaking Trial. In the slow 75-foot pool of the New York Athletic Club yesterday after- noon this sensational youthful star of the Illinois A. C., stood alongside of the famous Derry McGillivray, inter national and Olympic star, Harry Hebner, another Olympic swimmer, Buddy Wallen, one of the foremost long distance swimmers of the world, yet the good sized gallery who came to watcM the try-outs for the Ilinois A.C, relay team that will oppose the New York A. C. to-night in the Na- tional Championships, did not pay any attention to these stars in former years. Their attention was attracted by this youngster, Johnny Weismuller, whe pars ago Was watching the life as stroke out at Fulle: And they were well repaid for their audience to the Chicago boy, for they perhaps witne: dd othe festest 100 yards ever negotiated in a 75 foot tank when he swam the distands in al seconds, McGillivray, Hebner, Seigel and Wallen ploughed through the water seconds slower than this, yet, with the exception of Weissmul ler, they are four of the world's rank ing swimme “How did you ever develop such a great swimmer?” we — questioned "Back" Bachrack, coach of the I linuis A. C., Who was timing his protege. Kk laughed and id, points to Weissmuller, who was rub- bing the water off his face with both hands: “Ask him. 1 just corrected some of his faults in the water and taught him the things he didn't know about the game, but he does the swimming We repeated our question to Weis: muller and he just said, ‘1 don’t know. After watching that life guard out at Fullerton Beach £ just got to like swimming “and everything I do just comes natural to me “Tr joined the Y. M. ©. A. in Chicago and spent three or four hour a day swimming, until Coach Bach- rack of the Illinois A. C. returned from the Oylmpic games at Antwerp and gave me a try-out. Practice Secret of His Success. “That's the secret of that boy's suecess,"" Coach ‘ Bachraok informed us later. ‘I have to watoh him every minute so that he will not over- work. He is ambitious to become a great swimmer and he spends two jor three hours a day practicing. We held him under cover in Chicago for a year, He will not be eighteen until next October, and he has only been swimming in competition ten months. He has more world's records to-day than any swimmer in thé world. He is the strongest swimmer the world has ever seen despite his youth. He weighs 168 pounds and is six feet one inch in height. He pulls more water than the Duke, Hebner, Nor- man Ross, or uny of the other swim- mers that appear stronger than him, He has also done more swimming in his short career in the way of hours than some of the other fellows have done in a career that extended over a period of ten years. That's his greatest fault, he likes the water too much, “He will take a pneumatic rubber tire and practice swimming through the water to get the proper arch in his back so essential to good swim- ming. If you tell him about his faulty arm movement he will go out and practice until he is exhausted. How can you hold a fellow like: that back from being a champion? If we had more youngsters us eager as Weismuller we would have a few more great athletes like him, And records, they mean nothing to him. He'll just say, ‘What's the record for this distance, “Back’'?" and I'll tell him and he'll ‘AN right, I'll break it.’ He er stall never complains, just smashes records. Ruddy Says He’s the Greatest Ever. “He's like a great singer,’ Bach- rack said, “with a wonderful yoice You can't keep the world from hear- ing the wonderful yoice of a great singer and that explains young * ‘eis- muller. tie just dropped from no- where into the tank in the Illinois A.

When he acquires his full strength there is no telling how much he will cut off all world's records, perhaps up to a half mile Just now, at a little over seventeen, he is easily t reatest swimmer the world has ever seen since Richard Cavil conceived the erawl stroke in Australia, than twenty years ago. more In the bowalls Metropolitan League, M ut holds first place, the ns have a good chane« the title.

His position play on drive shots brought frequent applause, haefer's nursing was a_ revelation in direct contrast to his rather erratic position play last night, and he did not drive the balls again until he had made 155.

HAVE heard men re- mark and wonder as to how women in business find time to dress so well—so be- comingly and with such taste, And I in turn have wondered if men {fh gencral give women due credit for their at- tractive appearances, While men have two or three suits to take care of, and which Inst from one season to the next, or can be laid aside with perfect as- surance until the next year, women must needs have several changes of frocks each season— blouses, hats and ac- cessories. They have to take time from pleasure to seléct and acquire their various articles of apparel, and many an evening is spent at home on the task of making a hat or frock, while a man in similar circumstances would be to a fight or a movie. Does this sac- rifice for clothes reveal only vanity? Indeed not; it reveals prige and self respect, back- bones of character—a jesire to look one's best, —and I think most em- ployers recognize this fact. Of course, good taste in dressing ap- propriately is very ne- cessary to one’s success in business, but it ts taken for granted that any girl with a stromag desire to dress well has this gift. I have designed a. simple, one-piece frock of such dignified atmos phere that the middle- aged woman who trav- els to business of some not too confining char- acter will be attracted to it. The fabric might be Canton crepe, krepe-knit or kasha cloth, the bodice distinguished by a Moyen-age neckline that is outlined with dull gold or silver bratd.
