Harry Wood Earns Title
Districts Best SKINNER
Enthusiastic CROWD Throngs Bathing Beach Pool
and EnpieS Thinly-cIad Athletes
as They Splash About.

One thousand lovers OF the aquatic
sport thronged the Bathing Beach
swimming pool at o'clock yesterday
ranged programme for boys and men.
The extreme heat seemed to drive the
people from the running track to the
big tank. AS one man expressed 1t, II
feel cooler just looking at the water"
The various events were hard-fought
and exciting. Half a hundred OF the
best swimmers Of Washington COM
peted for the handsome prizes.
Harry Wood, a member of the Nauti-
lus Swimming Club. of the Y. NJ. G. A..
was the sensation of the day. and easily
captured the gold medal offered for the
best all-around swimmer in the Dis
trict. Wood landed first place IN the
22O and 40 yards dashes. third in the
100 yard dash, and wound up his per-
formance by pulling down third place
in the fancy diving event.
WOODS individual efforts gained him
twelve points. his nearest competitors
being AInsley and Burch, with six
points each.
Although winning the all-around
championship last year. Wood did not
receive the medal. as this is the first
year such a prize has been offered. To
obtain permanent possession OF the
medal it must be won three times, but
not necessarily IN succession. This is
Woods first time, and he bids fair to
keep the medal as the big boy is the
best water athlete in the District.
Juniors Do Well.
- OF the juniors, Carrick and McKin-
ney were easily the best performers.
The work of this pair yesterday stamps
them as rising swimmers and brilliant
futures are promised for both.
AS an aftermath to the regular events
DR.. F. w. GrenfeIl who refereed the
matches, gave an exhibition Of floating.
He was bound securely from head to
foot by stout piece Of rope and tossed
into the pool, several of the youngsters
took great delight IN towing him ashore.
DR.. W. B. Hudson, superintendent of
the bathing beach, gave q fancy diving
act, pulling of to perfection the famous
Houdini stunt. With his hands tied the
director was securely fastened in two
large sacks and jumped into the pool
from the diving board. When he emerged
to the surface he was absolutely free
and the sacks were floating in his wake.
The most spectacular part Of the pro.
gramme was the senior fancy dive This
event was won by, Ainsley.
