Records

In a swimming pool at Miami Beach, Mrs. Lottie Moore Schoemmel, kept alive by tea, oranges, boullion, sandwiches, omelets and coffee, swam for 32 hours, breaking by an hour a world's record that had stood for 47 years.

Robert Tyre Jones Jr., in business in Atlanta with his father, entered suit on behalf of his client, Grover Hartley, onetime catcher of the Giants, against the Georgia Railroad for $25,000, saying that a flagman lurching through the aisle of the car stepped on Hartley's big toe.

"In three years there won't be a sandbox on any course. Everyone will use wooden tees. One company gave away 3,000,000 of these pegs before the idea caught on," said a statistician last week.

In Chicago, Walter Spence broke the world's record for a 220-yard breast stroke with a time of 2 min. 43 1/5 sec.

''I swam the Strait of Gibraltar," said Miss Mercedes Gleitz, London stenographer. She added that it took her twelve hours and three-quarters to get across. "What proof have you got, Miss Gleitz?" The swimmer showed a deposition signed by 60 Moroccans who said they saw her land or start or who went with her in little boats. Miss Gleitz said she knew one Englishman had seen her do it. He was a young boy. She described him, but he couldn't be found. Last year Miss Gleitz said she had swum the English Channel but refused to put her statement in an affidavit.
