SWIMMER SPENCER, COLUMBIA UNIvER-
SITY STAR.
lSpencer, the famous Columbia university
swimming champion, now a member Of
the New York A. C.'s great aquatic
squad. will race in the st. Louis
matches.1
Sept. 13, IA and Is, under the auspices
of the Missouri Athletic club, and some
novelties have been introduced with
the sanction of the rulers of the ANA
teur Athletic union that will make the
competitions much more attractive
than ever before.
There are to be junior and intermedl-
ate swimming championships in the
national events this year, and the
scope Of the meeting will thus be en-
larged and made more comprehensive
than in the past.
The new arrangement will put the
big swimming event of the year on
much the same plane as the national
amateur rowing regattas.
The change, which was suggested by
the Missouri A. G. officials, has been
formally approved by the A. A. Z.
experts as long step in the direction
Of making swimming competitions
more attractive to men Of the second
and third rank in matters of speed.
BY having the competition on the sue
ceeding days it is believed that the
championship can be made much more
representative Of every section than
when the contests were spread over
succeeding Saturdays, as has been the
custom in <he past. Under that ar
rangement it was necessary to have
competitors from distance remain at
the scene of the struggle for three or
four weeks In order to participate in all
events.
Few amateurs could devote so much
time to any pastime, and the result vas

contests.
