Greatest American Swimmer. Charles M. Daniels, the sensational swimmer of the New York Athletic club, recently won new fame by estab-

CHARLES M. DANIELS.

lishing a new world’s record for 100 yards. He covered the distance In 57 3-5 seconds. The previous record was 58 seconds. Daniels is now rated as the fastest of all American swin>mers. New German Gaine For Women. Schlagen ball is the newest game for athletic members of the fair sex. It comes from Germany, where it occupies the same position as hockey does in this country. At present schlagen ball is very little known, and the Battersea Polytechnic is the only place where it is played. Miss Morse, the instructor in the gymnasium, introduced the game, believing It would be a welcome change from hockey. Schlagen ball is a cross between rounders and baseball, and as translated the name means “strike ball.” The players are armed with a wooden “schlage,” some two feet long, with which they have to strike the ball when bowled to them. . The game is played on an open space seventy yards long by fifty wide, and nd hits are allowed beyond the boundary. There are eight players on each side, but during actual play only one of the side which is “in” Is on the field, although the whole side has to run to the opposite end of the field and back when a hit is made. I’oints are scored by runs, catches and hits, points being scored by their opponents if one of the running side is hit by the ball before she has crossed the boundary. Schlagen ball is a game eminently suitable for women, as it has all the excitement without any of the danger of hockey.

Standing Won From Lathnm. George Standing, American professional racket champion, successfully defended his title in a match with Peter Latham of England, the world’s champion, at the New York Racket and Tennis club recently. Standing won by three games to love in thirty minutes of the fastest rackets ever seen in the United States. The scores were 15—5, 15—10 and 15—10. A purse of $3,000 went with the title. Standing hardly failed to improve an opportunity, Latham only getting four aces from him on misses. Standing got eleven aces by opponent’s misses. On aces by service Standing gained only nine to thirteen for Latham, but the Englishman could not do well as Standing in volleying, and toe American gained twenty-three aces by placing balls that could not lie returned to eight by placing for Latham. Standing was accurate in fast service and volleys and excelled in footwork. Sidney Dillon's Progeny Is Sold. The largest sale of trotting stock at private sale made for many years was consummated at Santa Rosa. Cal., recently, when Sterling R. Holt of Indianapolis, Ind., purchased twenty-five head of the progeny of Sidney Dillon, the sire of Lou Dillon. The sale was made through Millard Sanders, the driver of Lou Dillon when she made her unequaled record, who is a prominent horseman of Santa Rosa. Eleven of the animals are unnamed yearlings. The money involved in the transaction approximated $16,000. Racing Auto Weight Standard. Chairman Robert Lee Morrell of the racing board of the American Automobile association says that perhaps the weight standard for racing ears may be changed next year; but, at any rate, the American Automobile association will have more weight as the national governing body. Umpire John O’Brien. John O'Brien of Lewiston, Me., the well known former second baseman who did such excellent work on the New England league staff of umpires last season, has been appointed to and has accepted a position on the staff of 1006, for which the league is to bo congratulated.
