MANY ENTERED
IN TOURNAMENT
CRACK SWIMMERS TO LINE UF
AT BIMINI
Program for Week Brings Together
Real Aquatic Stars of Southern
California, and Good Con-
tests Are Expected

The third annual tournament of the
Southern California Swimming asso-
citation will commence tomorrow even
ing at the Bimini plungs, continuing
with nightly programs througout the
week to Saturday. Entries are now
complete, and from the high class
swimmers who have signified their
intention of competing and from the
good sprinkling Of special events
throughout the entire six nights of
sport, the third annual promises well
to eclipse anything in indoor SWIM
ming sports that the association has
yet promoted.
Medals for the different events are
now on display in the show window
of sporting goods company. On each
is the relief figure of swimmer in
diving attitude, making an exceedingly
handsome trophy and one well worth
striving for.
From past performances of the en-
trants in the juvenile fifty-yard race,
Vic Hostetter figures to win the
event, although there are several who
may give him a hard rub for the honor.
But in the fifty-yard dash for the
championship of Southern California
matters are not so one-sided. Marcus
Lee, the present Pacific coast title
holder in the 220 and SS0-yard events,
is not as good at this shorter dis
tance. and 1t is expected that w. r.
Crawford and William O'Malley will
give him a hard race, either having an
equal chance to win. O'Malley and
Lee again figure in the 100-yard dash,
but with the strong line of entries the
event should develop into the best card
of the program, with possibly the two
mentioned having slightly the better
chance to win.
Marcus Lee should win the 22O event,
for which he holds the championship
but it is expected that young Vic Hos
tetter and Howard Taylor VIII give
him a hard rub at the finish AS the
distances increase Lee becomes 'iie
stronger favorite, and he should win
the 440 without very strong compe-
tition. although Hostetter is a strong
swimmer at this distance and may de-
velop unexpected speed at the finish'
as he is a young swimmer whose ca
inability is yet of a rather unknown
quantity. When it comes to the $50
Lee should have that event all TO
himself.
The Australian pursuit race is new
one for aquatic sport followers mere
In this race the contestants Will draw
for position and will be started GER
tain distance apart, each contestant
attempting to overhaul the one IN
front. who, when overtaken. will drop
ont of the race. This is the general
scheme that governs the race, and 1t
should prove q good addition to the
water sports of Southern California.
Another event that will create great
interest is the under water distance
race. With Kenneth Kellogg not en-
tered in the event, Charles Bassett has
IF wi
Kellogg in the event, it would become
a pretty race between these two ex-
merits and it would be hard to pick the
winner.
