FINE ACHIEVEMENTS GIVE POINTER TO COMING INTERPORT
Shanghai, Aug. 8.
Two Shanghai records went by the board at the Cercle Sportif Francais children's swimming gala yesterday when Archie Logan elipped 1-3/5 seconds off the mark of 72-2/5 seconds for the 100 yards back-stroke formerly held by Noel Hammond and Toby Gavriloff followed up later with a swim of the 220 yards free style in 2 minutes, 30-1/5 seconds, an improvement of 2-3/5 seconds on the previous record, established by Matsushita at the same pool last year. The attendance at the gala was much poorer than expected but this was compensated for by the fine swimming in both the children's and Shanghai championship events.
victory in the 220 Gavriloft's yards free style was most convincing in spite of the fact that there was only one other entry in the race- Archle Logan. The youthful For- eign Y.M.C.A. mermun

FOUGHT SULLIVAN FOR 75 ROUNDS
OLD BARE-FIST FIGHTER
Boston, Aug. 4. For Jake Kilrain the price of fame has been obscurity in old age. A half-century ago Kil- rain was a name to be conjured with in prizo fighting.
Jake has been in award at a hospital at Quincy, near here, since May 20, yet nothing has been sald about it. Perhaps it is because he is listed as John Joseph Killion-his real name. Perhaps it is because he has shunned publicity in the twilight of his existence.
