FRISCO ACTIVE IN
AQUATIC SPORTS

Ernest Brandsten, the Swedish diver
and swimmer, who was in Honolulu
few months ago, was one of three
who gave an exhibition Of diving in
San Francisco on the 18th inst. This
was at the first of the series of aqua.
tic exhibitions held under the auspices
of the local Swedish-American athletic
club for the purpose Of stimulating
interest in water sports in the United
States. 1t was given at the Howard
street coal wharf before an interested
audience of over 1000 people. The
turn out convinced the members Of the
club that the American public will
take readily to water sports if the
proper interest is worked up.
In aquatic sports Sweden leads the
world. At the Olympic games in Lon
don in 1908 the Swedes took the first,
second, third and fourth prizes in the
water contests. Fifth place was TAX
en- by Geidsick, the American cham
pion. Geidsick at the time stated that
he could not obtain suitable training
quarters in the United States on ac-
count of the lack of interest in aquatic
sports in this country, and for this
reason could not get in proper condi-
ton. Since the Olympic games in
London Geidsick has been trying to
induce the sporting authorities of the
United States to adopt international
rules governing aquatic sports and to
take other steps to create healthy
interest in this particular branch of
athletics.
The Swedish-American athletic club
is trying to aid Geidsick in his efforts
to improve water sports in this coun-
