Some of the greatest swimmers in
the world, headed by the great Duke
Rahanamoku, have been at Casa del
Rey for the past three days. They
came to Santa Cruz to participate in
the swimming and diving contests
which took place Saturday and Sun
day. Probably one Of the greatest
haif-mile races ever held on the coast
was Witnessed by the thousands of
spectators who crowded the Casino,
boardwalk, beach and pleasure pier
when the Hawaiian champion of the
world beat Walter Pomeroy of the
Olympic Club by about two or three
yards. Pomeroy is to be given great
credit for the wonderful swim he
made, as he set the pace almost every
foot of the way and was only beaten
in the last fifty yards by the greatest
norman the world has ever seen.
Duke finished his performance as
fresh as a daisy and to show what
wonderful athlete he Is, went into the
tank in the Natatorium the same
evening and broke the worlds record
for fifty yards, swimming the distance
in twentythree and one-fifth seconds.
which is two-fifths of second better
than the former record held by him.
