Hawaii provided a number Of point
winners in th2 thrce-day swimming
meet at San Francisco. which came
to a close yesterday. but the affair
was by no means the clean sweep that
last years Coast
were for local men. This is not due TO
form reversal, but to the fact that
the Illinois Athletic Club sent out a
representative team composed of bet
ter swimmers than Honolulu could
muster, with one or two EXCEPTIONS
ID. P. KahanamoKu won the 100 and
220 yard races. and was second in
the so yards and the half mile George
Cunha took third in the century swim
Fred Wilhelm of the Hui Nalu, was
third in the 40. Clarence Lane, Hui
Nalu, and Harold Krugs-, Healani,
we're first and second respectively in
the 50-yard Juvenile event, and A.
Cunha finished second in the 50-yard
novice. In the relay, the Hdalani
team was second to Illinois, with the
Hui Nalu four in third place. That
is the sum total of HaWaii's perform
ance in the final events Of the meet.
There were a number OF trial heats in
the sprints, nand local swimmers
showed up we'll IN these kahanamO-
XII swan his trial so yards one-fifth
Of a second faster than the winning
time in the finals, and defeated the
man who eventually won the race
The Hawaiian champion hung up a
new A. A. U. mark for the 220, how
ever, beating Perry McGillivrays
former, mark by two and one-fifth
seconds. g..
!. The relay was the disappointment
Of the meet to local followers of swim
ming. for it is believed here that an
All-Hawaii team, composed of the best
men from the Hui Nalu and the Hea-
lani Club, could have made much
better showing than either the Hui j
Nalu or the Healani relay folur. The
Hcalanis were, agreeable to this ar
before the swimmers left
here for the coast. but the Hui Nalu
men stood out for team Of their own !
which finished third, being beaten by 4,
both the Illinois team and the Hea- ,
Ianis.

gent on his winning at San Francisco.

he 5e-yard event by Raithel. This
macs the second time this year that
Kahanamou has been beaten at this
distance, once by Small and once by
Raithei His defeat here last June BY
Grace IS not taken as real test of
speed, for the Hawaiian undoubtedly

some reason or other. The figures
seem to indicate that Rnhanamoku is
