FAST SWIMMING

MOUNT EDEN CARNIVAL FRANKHAM BREAKS RECORD NEW TIME FOR 100 METRES Success in nil attack on N. Crump's Now Zealand record of 61 l-5s for 100 metres free-stylo was gained at the Mount Eden Amateur Swimming Club's carnival in the Tepid Baths last night by tho present national champion, R. B. Frankham, who sprinted tho distance in 61s. Frankham was timed at 17s for 33 l-3yds., 34 4-5s for 66 2-3 yds., and 54 4-5s for 100 yds. His time was fourfifths of a second slower than the Australian record, 60 l-ss, established in 1926 by K. Takaishi, of Japan, and two-fifths of a Becond slower than the best time for an Australian, registered on January 11 by W. Kendall, of Sydney. Subsequently Frankham attempted to break his own New Zealand record for 100 yds, §1 8-sb, in tho chamiponship of the Mount Ed«n Club. He won comfortably, but his time was 5G 2-ss. A disappointing attendance witnessed keen racing. The intcr-club relay championship for teams of intermediates and juniors resulted in a clos« victory for North Shore from Mount Eden. The Auckland divini champion, G. Berry, was defeated in the open neat header by a young diver, P. Cowley. Tho junior girl champion of Auckland, MiBB M. Black, scored a good win in the 66 2-3 yds ladies' handicap in 42 3-ss. In the results clubs are denoted by the following abbreviations: —Wai., AVaitcmata; Pon., Ponsonby; Par., Parncll; E.S., Eastern Suburbs; N.S.. North Shore; Ota., Otahuhu; Mt. E., Mount Eden.
