SWIMMING TOURNEY.
Washington z. M. c. A. to Meet
Baltimore Athletes In the Water.

An eight-meu team representing the local
Y NJ c. A. will go to Baltimore on Satur-
day TO meet a team of the Baltimore Ath-
letic Club in a series of water contests
Just who will make up the local team has
not been decided yet by Capt. =. M.
Kemon. who has charge OF the local repre-
sentatives, but II is thought that a good
showing will be made.
In order to get a line on the material in
the local association some prelirninaries
were held in the association swimming pool
on Wednesday evening. There were a good
number of entries and some excellent per-
formances We're seen. AS the result OF that
competition II was definitely decided that
Carl Kicks, Herbert Lipp, Patrick Brannan
and p. NJ. Kemon will be four of the eight
representatives to go to Baltimore. The
others will be selected later in the week, as
the work OF candidates Is observed. Prac-
tice has been held every day this week for
the meet, and those who show up best Will
be picked for the team.
The events for the Baltimore dual meet
are: 20-yard swim. 40-yard swim, 1o0-yard
swim. 220-yard swim, underwater swim,
plunge for distance. high diving from spring
40 yards; tug-of-war and water soccer or
English water polo. Each organization will
enter eight men as a team, and the winner
OF the most events will win the meet
This is the first aquatic meet which tho
local Y Al. G. A. has ever taken part IN,
and the showing which the team will make
is problematical. The Baltimore clue mas
been anxious for dual meet for some time.
and since the formation OF the swimming
club here and because of the interest shown
| in the club the meet has been attempted.
