SANTA MONICA.
The Swimming Match Won by Al.
CarrflIO of North Beach.

ment here. The weather was magnifi.
cent, pleasant breeze blowing steadily
from the oceans broad expanse, and the
water was warm and enticing. That the
s, 900 people who iourneyed down from
Los Angeles and other inland cities, en-
joyed themselves, was we'll evidenced by
stroll along the beach during the hours
when the throng was at its food.
The pavilions and shades we're crowded,
the beach was lined with loungers, and
in the water hundreds disported and
shouted with glee as the huge breakers
came tumbling over their heads and
dashed into seething foam on the sandy
shore.
Apart from the attractions of nature,
amusements had been provided, the pro-
grsmme consisting of a baseball contest,
acrobatic performances and the great
swimming championship match. In ad
dition to these the Santa Monica band,
in full uniform, was on North Beach,
and played an enjoyable selection of mu-
sic for the benefit of the promenaders
and loungers on the sands.
The baseball match between the Tufts
Lyon and Vienna Buffet mines was de-
cided during the course of the afternoon
on the grounds to the south of the South
ern Pacific passenger depot. 1t proved
to be one.sided event, resulting in a
victory for the Tufts-Lyon team by
score of 23 to 8, but was nevertheless
much enjoyed by the large crowd which
witnessed the contest. Moody and Le-
land formed the battery for Tufts Lyon
and Pierre and Early for the Vienna
| Buffet.
The acrobatic entertainment was of
the usual nature, consisting of tumblipg,
horizontal bar performances and the fly
ing trapeze. 1t was given soon after 3
O'Clock on North Beach, and was wit
messed by thousands.
1t was q few minutes after O'Clock
when the start was made for the event of
the day-the championship swimming
match, for $3.50, between Charles Waller,
OF South Beach, and AL. GARLIC, of North
Beach. They plunged into the water
near the lifeline of the North Beach
bathhouse, accompanied by boats,
containing Umpire Lawson and Referee
Wray, their entry being greeted with
ringing cheer from the onlook ers. They
waded to deep water and then struck gu
side by side, maintaining the positions
for half mile or 30, when GARLIC began
to show his heels to his opponent. The
North Beach man kept increasing his ad-
vantage and rounded the buoy with a
good lead, making a mistake, however,
that might have cost him the race; for
on turning the mark he went to
the left instead of to the right,
as ordained in the agreement, and he
was at once ordered back by Umpire
| T d., H.
round for the second time he was twenty
earnest to overtake Waller, who was GO
ing steadily ahead. 1t was quite an ex-
citing contest for the next quarter of q
mile, for GARLIC came up hand over hand
and finally passed his opponent and led
the procession again. He increased his
advantage more and more, and landed
the winner by $50 yards, amidst
the plaudits of thouaands of throsts.
Waller is 25 years + age and
swan at 140 pounds, while GARLIC, who
round trip was one hour and four min
count of the choppiness of the sea. Car
lilo claims the ampionship of Southern
California and is open to challeuge
/
that he was cramped a couple of times
during the contest.

his troubles, and soon had him fit TO

The 6: 10 train on the Southern Pacific
from Los Angeles here ran into herd

Home switch. There was a general

down the bay, coming at one time with.
