There has stepped to the fore at Cristobal, Canal Zone, a young girl newcomer whose sterling achievements have caused her to be heralded a new aquatic marvel. Adelaide Lambert is her name, fourteen her age. and she is credited officially with covering 100 yards free style In the striking time of 1 minute 0 2-5 seconds, a performance which goes a long way toward justifying the claim made for her."
