WATER POLO RECORD
The water polo team of the "Enfants de Neptune, Tourcoing," has won the French championship for tho twentyfourth time within the last twentyfive years. In the final the "Children of Neptune" defeated Tunis by B—4. It is certainly a world's record for one club to hold its country's championship with the exception of one year from 1909 until to-day, and the chances are that Tourcoing will complete its twenty-fifth championship next season. Previously the other competing teams were vastly inferior, but during the last few years the opponents have improved considerably.
