BT JAMES J. RICHARDSON. Lieutenant Norman Rosa, awlmmer extraordinary and holder of many world's records. Is going to represent the Olympic Club of San Francisco In the 220-yard event for the world's ree ord. which exhibition wilt be staged In New York. Ross, who recently attained his com mission in the flying- branch of the aviation service, wired Louis McLane, chairman of the Olympic Club swim mine; committee, asking If the Winged O club would stand 1100 to help de fray hi expenses for a trip to the big elty to swim against Duke Kahano moled and Perry McGlllivray. McLan lost no time In wiring Ross that every thing was "Jake and to make arrange ments to enter the big event. With Ross, "Duke" and McGlllivray In the tank for this event Gotham fol lowers of aquatic sport are In for rare treac All three have been chosen by their followers as being the great est aggregation of swimmers that ever lived. The "0-yard event will be a little long for the Duke. He does his best work In the short sprints, but will give Ross and McGlllivray a tuasle in the quarter-mile event. Rons recently re duced the world's record for 600 yards by nine seconds when he swam the dis tance at Chicago in 6:51 3-6, surpassing Hatfield's (England) 6:02 4-5. While traveling this distance Ross smashed the 310. 400 and 440. The Duke's 60 and 100 are his best. They are the world's marks and others have been shooting at them for some time without equaling them. He has done the 60 In 23 seconds and the 100 In S3. McGlllivray has dona the 100 in 54. But when this trio hooks up In the 320 at New York In the very near fu ture there Is going to be a tuasle that will be well worth traveling miles to witness. Ross has never defeated the Duke, out there is always a -iirst lime. It is doubtful If Ross will be In Port land to participate In the Willamette River marathon to be staged next Eat urday. Charlie Hollocher, Chicago Cob's star shortpatcher and former Portland Reaver, will soon be seen in action on the Pacific Coast again.

A week later this record was more than doubled when the gallery at Claremont Country Club contributed the sum ot 33300, the total receipts of the day amounting to 34000-odd.

Miss Fanny Durack, free-style woman swimming champion of the world, and Miss Minna Wylle, world champion woman breast-stroke swimmer, recent ly returned to Australia without en tering a single competition in this country. Making the long ocean voy age for the purpose of racing against the best of the American girl swim mers, the two Australian girls returned to their country with only one public appearance in which they merely swam for exhibition purposes in aid of the Red Cross. The fact that in their exhibition swim both the visitors touched world's fig ures convinced many that the American girls would have had a hard time In defeating the Australians. Tt also is believed that had they swam in compe tition, both Miss Durack and Miss Wylle would have returned home with a number ot American records to their credit. Matters of a controversial nature which failed of adjustment was the cause of the visitors' declination to en ter competition. The visit of Miss Olga Dorfner, of Philadelphia, American sprint cham pion, has been interfered with by sick ness. The little Easterner has btun 111 with the measles and it will be at least a month before she wllV be able to en ter a tank again. As a result she has cancelled her entries to various Pacific Coast swims. She has been swimming In fine style, recently creating a new American record for women In the 300 yard swim. She was to have made sn attack on the world's 100-yard record, and there were many who believed she stood a good chance of success in view of the showing she has been making.
