A new national breast stroke record was established and the second best performance on record for 50 yards was turned in on February 21, when Miss Agnes Geraghty, national bresat stroke champion, representing the New York Women's Swimming Associ. ation, clipped exactly 10s. from her old mark in winning a 200- meter breast-stroke race, when she swam the distrance in 3m. 24 2-58. Her old mark, made at Orange, N.J., last year, was 3nt 34 2-5s...

Miss Ethel Lackie of the Illinois A.C. swam the 50 yards in 28 1-5, which is the second best per formance at the distance ever recorded, the world's mark being 28s, made by Miss Lilly Bowmer of Honolulu.

defensive himself mostly to methods, with the result that Brown scored repeatedly in every round from one to the finish..

Corbett was unable to frustrate Brown's consistent leads, which landed on head and body with plenty of power.

Yet I could not help thinking it was a bout unworthy of the label of championship. I visualised the bouts in which Billy Plimmer, Pedlar Painier, Digger Stanley, Joe Bowker, Joe Miss Geraghty was forced to the Fox, Jim Higgins and others took record by the great pace set by her part, and, honestly, I do not recall rivals, all of whom were allotted any bantam-weight championship liberal handicaps.

the pace, and for the first 100

yards made no effort to overhaul the handicap entrauts.

Miss Geraghty put on a little speed after the 100-yard mark was passed and gradually she closed in and finally passed her rivals.

Quite as interesting as this race was the 50 yard event, in which Miss Eleanor Garratt, the new national champion, Miss Ethel Lackie of Chicago, Miss Gertrude Ederle of New York and Miss Olive Hatch of Los Angeles lined up. The Misses Garratti, Lackie and Ederle had swum a dead heat in the final of the, national title event, which was later won by Miss Garratti, the,San Rafael (Calif.) girl.
