DANIELS RETAINS HIS TITLE

Keeps 100-Yard Swimming Championship by Two Inches—New Yorker Given Brilliant Race. One of the most remarkable finishes ever seen in a swimming race was brought out at the New York Athletic club the other night when C. M. Daniels, the record holder, again won the 100-yard Amateur Athletic union championship. Only two inches behind Daniels at the finish was Perry McGillivray, the

eighteen-year-old schoolboy of the Illinois Athletic club of Chicago, while a few Inches back R. E. Friselle of the Missouri A. C. of St. Louis beat out Harry Hebner of tbe Illinois A. 0. for third place. The four men were only a fraction of one-fifth of a second apart as they touched the finish mark. The time of the winner, was :56 4-5, which is four-fifths of a second behind Daniels' own American record for the distance with three turns.
