swimming championship events to de-
eide the best aquatic athletes of the
southland. The contests are divided
into three evenings, and tonight the
events to be settled are the hfty-yard
swim, the 100-yard, the mems COM
petitive high dive and the women $
competitive high dive. In additlon
there have been added two other feat
ures, the fire dive of Jack Cox, always
a thriller, and an exhibition of fancy
and high diving, in which several eX-
perts will take part.
In the entry list for tonight's events
are included the best and fastest swim
mers in the south, many of whom will
compete in the coast championships
planned for Naples in July. Among the
more promising entries in the fifty
yard dash are George Watkins, former
ly of the Olympic club of San Fran
cisco, who won the half mile SWIM
ming championship in competition at
Naples two years ago and is one of
the best long distance men in the
state. He has essayed the shorter
events in the indoor tourney and is ex-
hard race. Earl Kyle, the San Diego
boy, has been in preparation for the
short event, and should be well up in
front when the results are announced.
Frank Holborow, holder of the indoor
championships for the so, 100 and 220
yard dashes in the south. will be hard
to beat, for he is swimming in speedy
form. Among other entrants are c.
Bassett, member of the L. A. A. G.
water polo team; G. Crary, high school
swimmer and fast juvenile; Marcus
Lee, captain of the high school SWIM
ming club and captain of the Bimini
water polo team; S. Golfer, Bimini wa
ter polo team; J. Warrington, one of
the fastest members of the L. A. A. G.
water polo team, and Edmund Young,
champion swimmer of the Long Beach
high school and easily the best aquatic
representative of the seaside city.
The 100-yard race seems to be divid-
ed between Walter Abegg, Young, Kyle
and Holborow, and should be a holly
