HUI NALU TEAM
FAYORITE In
Swimming

Coast swimming experts are going
on the assumption that the Hawaiian
delegation will about clean up the
Fourth Of July meeting at San Fran
cisco. Duke is conceded the spirits,
and such wholesome respect have
the mainlanders for his prowess, that
they are looking for surprises from
his eliminates as we'll
Commenting on the Hui Nalu and
Healani teams, the San Francisco Post
of recent date says:
Little Is known about the other men,
or what events they will enter, though
the entry blanks are due in a few
days. Kahanamoku is sure to enter
the 100-yard dash, as he holds the
worlds record for this distance, but
whether he enters the so or the 220, or
both. besides the 100, is matter of
considerable speculation among local
swimmers.
The team will undoubtedly be a
Istrong one, with Duke a sure winner
of one or more events, so there is a
big chance of the Hui Nalu team win
ming the handsome team prize to be
put up by the Indoor Yacht Club.
Other strong contenders for the
prize will be Redondo, Olympic Club
and the local Y. NJ. G. A.. The Olympic
Club will probably divide the high and
fancy diving honors with Redondo and
should have place in the sprints and
back and breast-stroke races.
Walter Pomroy, of Golden Gate
fame, looks to be a sure point winner
in the long-distance races. Pomroy is
well known in these parts. having

In the 220-yard dash, Duke will

coast, and Lincoln Johnson, another
lad who has wide reputation.
johnson and Smith recently swan a
dead heat in the 220-yard dash in the
fast time of 2: 50 4-5, while the Dukes
time in the Hawaiian championships
on June II, was 2::S4 20. By the looks
of these figures, the champion will
have to be at his best when he toes
the scratch.
The Multnomah Club has notified the
local people that the club, in all prob
ability, will not be represented, as
their best swimmer is out of the state,
and will not return for the big event.
However. communication has been
sent TO Dan Vickers of Eugene Y. NJ.
e. A., near Portland, who won both the
-i0O-yard and 220-yard events during
the Rose Carnival races last Friday,
inviting him to San Francisco to rep
resent the northwest. For some rea-
son the northwest has not turned out
many good swimmers during the last
few years, but if Vickers comes down.
he should make a good showing
against the local swimmers.
Many entries are being received for
the women's events. Among the best
known girl swimmers entered in the
ladies' 80 yards are Mrs. Desch, cham
MON of Northern California; Miss Dor
othy Mings, champion of Southern Cali
ifornia; Miss G. Germany of Santa
Barbara; the Bennett sisters of Ala
media, and Mrs. F. A. Calls of Sutro
Heights.
In the 40 are entered Miss Beulah
Sodner of Santa Cruz, who made a la
dies record across the bay last fall;
Mrs. Carl flomark of Alameda; Mrs.
Wright and.~ Mrs. Crowley of Sutro
Baths; Miss NJ. Brack, the wonderful
high school swimmer, and Miss Car
many.
More entries are expected, and the
girls races will be features Of the
