WILFRED LAWRENCE
IS NOT
NOT THAT
THAT OLD
New Colony Record After 18 Years In Local Championship Swimming By "RECORDER"
Almost a decade since his retirement as serious contender in the free style sprints, the peren- nial Wilfred Lawerene failed to surprise to any great extent at the Victoria Recreation Club pool yesterday evening as he took the 150 Yards Medley Championship in 1 min. 46.6 seconds, shaving 1 4/5 seconds off his own Colony record set last year.
It was a grand performance for a "grand old man" who, if not really so old, is nevertheless in his 18th year in local championship swimming and still holds a Colony re- cord in the 220 Yards Style that was set all of 13 years ago.
The Lawrence performance was the top highlight of an evening that saw at Tsun's Chan Chun-oam swim steadily away from his two opponents to another Colony mark in the 880 Yards Free Style, an improvement of ane second on what he had achieved in his prime in 1941.

Yankees And Red Sox AndRedSox Still In The Race
New York, Sept. 30.-New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox staved off impending doom for at least 24 hours by scoring victories today that kept them mathematically sil in the American League pennant race.
Yankees defeated Philadelphia Athletics 9-7 in a har rowing gante at Philadelphia. The losers threatened per- sistently in the late innings and had the winning, run on base in the ninth.
At Boston, Red Sox came forth with a bristling 15-bil attack that included a home ran by Stan Spence which gave them a 7-3 triumph over Senators.

Tandberg Is Next In Hit Parade
BY FRANK BUTLER
The fight boys were full of song yesterday. Their re- frains varied from "Oh, what # beautiful mourning" (from Not-so-Oke-Les-Oma) to the Woody Woodpecker chorus, which went like this: "Ha-ba-ba-ba-ba, Ha-ha- ha-ha-hg. Who's next in the goody Woodcock Hit Par ade?"
But after the funeral march had been played and the boys considered that sufficient respect and decorum had been shown to the corpse, they skipped the post-mortem
