TO HOLD YEARLY
MEET AT VENICE
BEACH TOWN FAv0RITE PLACE
WITH SWIMMERS
SELECTION ASSURES EVENTS OF
LARGE CROWDS
Representatives Of Beach City Visit
Officers Of Southern California
Association but No De-
clslon ls Made

Representatives of Venice came to
Los Angeles yesterday afternoon and
conferred with Les Henry, secretary
of the Southern California Swimming
association, for the purpose of secur-
ing the annual championships of out
door swimming of Southern California
at the beach town this year.
No decision has been made as yet
in regard to the place for the proposed
meeting of the f-the-Tehachapi
swimmers, but it is known Venice has
been considered with much favor, as
special inducements have been offered.
The beach men want the tournament
to be held on the date of the big OPEN
ing of the resort, on June 81, and local
swimmers are in favor of this move,
for ii means a large crowd will be
present to witness the races.
Entry blanks will be out for the
various events to be contested for in
the Southern California amateur cham
pionships about the first of next month
and Secretary Henry Is confident that
he will have the largest number or en-
tries ever recorded in similar con-
test. The regular A. A. U. events VIII
make up the program, but it was also
decided yesterday to add the 22O-yard
race to the schedule of events.
In addition to this race there will be
the fifty-yard. 100.yard, 440-yard and
half-mile races. and q special race will
be provided for the women swimmers.
1t is also planned to hold the cham
pionship of the Southern California
Water Polo league on this date, when
the two best teams of that organiza-
ton will meet In the finals for the
league trophy.
Bromley of the Olympic club, the
holder of the coast record for the fifty
yard and 100-yard events, who won
these races at Naples last year. and
Lane, the worlds champion in the 440-
yard and 880-yard races, will probably
come south to enter the races.
June has been set as the date for
the northern coast champion races, and
1t is probable that Frank Holborow,
the southern shortdistance man, and
Ben Warrington. the southern distance
man, will take part In these events.
Owing to the fact that they are in first
class shape, these men have a good
chance to win high honors In the north
ern events.
