HE extraordinary swimming A form displayed by Johnny Weissmuller of the Illinois A. ©., who has been shattering records every time he enters the water, is what enables him to do what no other living swimmer has done in the past Much of this form, according to his coach, Bill Bacharach of the Ilinois A. C., was acquired by his tireless work of practising in the water. When Bacharach first took hold of the young Chicagoan he set him to work pushing a water polo ball around for weeks to perfect his six- beat kick. After he had corrected his kick he put him on an inflated pneumatic tire to get the proper arch in his back which can be noticed so distinctly when he is splashing his way through the water in his record- breaking swims. This early training has not only made him the fastest short-distance swimmer the world has ever seen, but also the most sraceful swimmer in action, accord+ ing to the foremost coaches. Much of his record-breaking also can be directly attributed to his large hands and feet. He swims high in the water, as shown in Fig. 1. There is less roll to his body, perhaps, than any competitive swimmer. are driven up and down and very close together in a one-two-three rhythm to each arm drive. His kick back and forward about the approxi- mate distance of nine inches and his wonderful arched back helps him plane over the water instead of swimming through it The closeness of Weissmuller's legs powerful drive can be seen in A When he is swimming his fastest his head is held high out of the water and his arms work in per~ fect rhythm with his six-beat kick. This is one of the reasons for Weilssmuller’s great record-breaking His legs] 4 Weissmuller Goes Home With Another Record Before returning home with his team- mates, Jobn Weissmuller, the youthful swimmer of the linois A. C., shattered the world’s record for the 500-yard swim in the national cnampionship aquatic pentathlon in the %-foot pool of the Brooklyn Central ¥. M,C, A. Saturday night. Weissmuller covered the distance mn dm, 56 8-5s., clipping 2 1-58. from the mark set by Norman Ross in the 100-foot tank of the Los Angeles A. C. in 1920. The newly introduced standard test of all-argund watermanship, which in- cludes free-style, breast-back stroke and life-saving races, gave the sensa- tional youth a chance to display his wonderful stamina and versatility. Bx- cept in the obsolete breast stroke swim, In' which he was disqualified for using an incorrect kick, he simply ran away from his opponents. He won the 100-yard free-style swim in 66 2-5s., the babk-stroke century in 1m, 103., and the lift-saving race in Im. 34s. Those who opposed Welssmuller were Leo and Henry Giebel of the New York é and tor Kiffe of Brooklyn Central Y. M, C..A. ‘The event was decided by adding up the place poi of cach contender in the five conte and Weissmuller returned the lowest score of 8 points, Leo Glebel was sec: ond with 9 points, Henry Giebel third with 16 points and Kiffe fourth with 17 poi swimming.

The original Celtics defeated the Brooklyn Five by the score of 36 to 31 in the third and finai game of a three-game series. Prior to last night each team had gained a victory, and by the conquest of the Brooklyns in the deciding contest, the Celtics won the honors of the series. A large crowd of basketball fans jammed into Arcadia Hall to witness the game, which proved to be more exciting and interesting than either one of the first two games. Brooklyn held the lead throughout the greater part of the struggle. The good play: ing of Harry Riconda, who scored several times and who seldom missed on a foul attempt, gave the Brooklyn fans a great deal of confidence and they fully expected their quintet to subdue the champto: ‘The 19 to 17 score in favor of Brooklyn at the end of the first half made it appear as though the expectations of tooters would be realized. It was only in the latter part of the game that the Celtics were on the bet- ter end of the tally. Although Nat Holman ‘scored two field goals and one foul in the Ast; half, he did not show his true form until the last quarter, and then His work ‘was so cleverly done that the Celtics gained the lead. Holman was the high individual scorer of the game with five fleld goals and three foul goals. The last three minutes of play kept the intensely interested spectators on edge. The score was 31 to 29, with the Celtiés on top. Leo Malone, who had been playing one of his -best games, tried in vain to score on sev- eral long shots. Beckman brought the am’s tally up to 82 on a foul shot. Nat Holman managed to puss through the Brooklyns’ offense to score on a field goal {n a manner whicli brought m much applause. Bruggy scored on a foul and Chris Leonard repeated Nat Holman’s ttick of running the lengtir of the floor and throwing the ball into the basket on a splendid and well ex. ecuted Shot Leo Malone, Bruggy and Riconda eda sterling game for the losing Harvey and Russell, however, deserve just as much credit in view of the fact that each man put ail he had into the game. The same is true for the Celtics, Nat Holman scored more than the others, but Johnny Heckman, Henry Dehnert, George Haggerty and Chris Leonard were depended upon at all times to carry on and each one responded to gain the well-earned and hard fought for honors. In the second game of the fi Eastern League championship serie between New York and Trenton, the Jersey team defeated New York at the 7ist Regt. Armory by the score of 21 to 16 Johnny Barry, who is getting back into that championship form which brought him the enviable prestige he e has, prevented a defeat by a greater margin by his sterling performance on the floor. His energetic attempt to win for his team, however, proved insuffictent for the determined ‘Trentonites. The Jersey team came to New York with a determination to return the defeat witich New York had given the quintet the night before at Trenton. The first half ended with the Tren- tons in the lead by seven points. New York was playing to win but so was Trenton, and the advantage which the Jerseyites' had over the New Yorkers was procured only after a better display of basketball. Stretch Meehan started off in the second half with a field goal, Johnny Beckman also scored from the floor. Tome and Barlow eaéh tallied on fouls. The New York, teaction began with Barry, who ‘scored two field goals in secession and then followed them up with two fouls. The New Yorkers evened the score tp, after five minutes of play in the latter part of the contest. ‘Trenton was not to be outplayed, fter a strenuous, offensive mode and of playing, that team” broug! ts score up to twenty points, while’New York had only fifteen. Each team scoted on a foul shot before the final whistle was blown. The final and deciding game of the ve Championship series at Camden, a neutral court, on Wednesday night. Both New York and Trenton will play their best to win the all-important struggle, and, in view of the equal status of the teas, neither will be favored to win over the other.
