SAN DIEGO. Calif. June 28.—The j
1948 women’* National AAU awim-1
ming and diving championships
were a matter of record today and
interest shifted to the all-important
trials for America’s Olympic team
at Detroit July 0-11.
The girls to watch?
Ann Curtis of San Francisco in
the freestyle. Suzanne Zimmerman
of Portland, Oreg.. in the backstroke,
Jeanne Wilson of Chicago in the
breaststroke, and no less than four
in the diving.
Miss Curtis, as high point scorer
of last week’s Nationals, led her
Crystal Plunge mates to a team vic
tory over their rivals from the Los
Angeles Athletic Club. She was the,
only triple-winner of the meet with
easy triumphs in the 100, 400 and
800-meter races.
Miss Zimmerman bettered two
American records in capturing the
100 and 200-meter backstroke races.
Miss Wilson, the only entrant in
the meet from East of the Rockies,
succeeded Nancy Merki Lees of
Portland as the breaststroke queen.
The diving yesterday was the fea
ture attraction, with Zoe Ann Olsen,
the 17-year-old Oakland sprite, win
ner of the 3-meter springboard for
the third successive year.
The field was the finest in the
Nation, according to the Olympic
Games head coach, Fred Cady of
Los Angeles. Miss Olsen chalked
up 117.68 points.
Placing in order behind w-ere
Patti Elsener of San Francisco with
114.98 points. National Tower Div
ing Champion Vicki Draves of Los
Angeles was third with 112.92, and
the sentimental favorite, Marjorie
Gestring of Los Angeles, was fourth j
with 110.91.
The mteet had no bearing on the
Olympic trials, but it served as a
measuring rod of things to expect
at Detroit.
Bunker Hill Retains
Junior Legion Lead
Bunker Hill edged Costello, 5-4,
yesterday behind Dan Cookman's
tight pitching in the pinches to re
main out in front in the Junior
American Legion play in the orrly
close game of the day.
Halloran-Murray routed National
Cathedral, 16-1, as Jim Nolan al
lowed only two hits and Don Stuart
pitched a one-hitter as GPO
blanked Fort Stevens, 10-0. Fort

Palmer of Arlington, Lombardo
Share Speedboat Meet Honors
By Malcolm Lambome, Jr.
.Star Staff Correspondent
MIDDLE RIVER, Md., June 28 —
Guy Lombardo of Freeport, N. Y„
and Joe Palmer of Arlington, Va.,
shared the spotlight here yesterday
in the windup of the fifth annual
power regatta of Wilson Point
Men's Club.
Lombaro. who flew up from Vir
ginia Beach early yesterday, failed
to make the much-publicized as
sault on Gar Wood's world speed
mark. He blamed It officially on
poor visibility, but another reason
appeared to be chop set up by an
noying sptctator craft.
But to give the folks on shore and
aboard numerous yachts a little
show, Guy took on three 225-cubic
inch hydroplanes for the feature 15
mile free-for-all for the Glenn L.
Martin Trophy. No no ones sur
prise, he led all the way. His speed
for the 15 miles was an average
55.18.
Palmer won both heats of the
135s in his blue-hulled Tommy Boy.
Then, repeating his performance
of a week earlier at the Junior
Board regatta in Washington, he
took on five 225s in a 5-mile special
free-Jor-all at the close of the
show.
Not only did Palmer win, but he
chalked up the fastest time of the
day—an average speed or 56.729
miles.
Tommy Boy and Palmer took
some of the hardest beating that
pair has ever experienced. The
racer leaped clear of the water,
then came down with a great splash.
But the rugged 38-year-old Wash
ington fish merchant refused to let
up. His closest rival was friend Jpe
Van Blerck in Aljo V of Preeport,
N. Y.
In contrast to last year’s five new
speed marks set here, only one fell
this time. It was made by Edmund
Thompson of Dundalk, Md., driving
his Class C racing runabout T. M.
Special. He average 53.255 miles an
hour. This bettered the world rec
ord of 52.555 made by Mrs. Mildred
Foulke of Essex, Md., last year in
Washington.
The payoff here, however, was fact
the racing Foulkes had sold Thomp
son the automobile engine with
which Mrs. Foulke made last year's
record.
She tried, unsuccessfully, to better
her Class D racing runabout mafc
with Sagana VIII, but fell several
miles short of the mark. Edison
Hedges of Atlantic City, N. J., came
within half a mile of bettering the
Class F service runabout mile mark
of 43.012. Hedges’ Red Eagle was
clocked at 42.468 m.p.h.

has the bulletin and it's atill
free.
And once you've been converted •
to the roller game you'll be a
fanatic, Daisley warns. He got
into an argument about the
proper way of executing a cer
tain step at the rink one night
and drove 15 miles to his home
to pick up a notebook and drove
back to the arena to help prove
his point.
“But it takes patience to be a
good skater,” he warned. "Too
many persons are discouraged
too quickly because it isn't as
easy as the good skaters make it
look. It might take a year and
it could take five years to make
a polished skater out of a novice,
but when you get the steps down
perfectly it’s just like floating on
air. It’s something like flying,
and you'd be surprised at the
number of well known roller
skaters who went into the Air
Corps during the war.”
Eventually roller-skating will
be a part of the Olympic pro
gram, Daisley predicts. Officials
are trying to arrange a demon
stration for this year's games at
London so they can formulate
a policy to govern regular com
petition in future Olympics.
Herb, meanwhile, is working like
mad on the tournament opening
today at the National Arena
rink. The last time he checked
the list there were 454 entries
from 25 States—the cream of the
crop.
Oh, yes, he likes ice skating,
TOO Roller Skaters

skating championship opened

girls’ free style, novice mixed
pairs and juvenile mixed pairs.
too. It's a fine, clean sport and
when he gets a little free time he
hopes to take a fling at.it, too.
But it never will have the wide
appeal of roller-skating, lie says.
