About This Item
Corrine Condon and her sister Helen were swimming champions of the Nicholas Senn hospital in Omaha. In March of 1925, the 14 year old Corinne broke a world's record by winning the A.A.U. Junior 50 yard free style swim in 28 seconds.
Founded by Constancio Vigil in 1919, "El Grafico" was an Argentine sports magazine which started as a weekly newspaper before subsequently turning exclusively to the coverage of sports. One of the most highly regarded sports magazines in Latin America, it came to earn the nickname "La Biblia de deporte" ("The Bible of sports").
