Rock Hill Record, Sept. ID: The Y.
M. C. A. swimming meet held Friday at
the Victoria swimming pool between
picked swimming teams from Fort
Mill and Rock Hill proved exceedingly
interesting to those who came out to
witness the events in spite of the in
clement weather 1t was necessary to
hold the meet as advertised, as York
Wilson, who has been directing the
work at the pool under the auspices or
the Y. M. G. A., severed his connection
with this work Saturday to return to
Princeton this week. Arrangements
have been made by the Y. M. c. A.
whereby the pool will continue its ac-
tivities till the end Of the season. AS
to the swimming meet, the events be-
tween the Fort Mill and Rock Hill
teams were full Of excitement and
aroused great interest on the part of
spectators and participants alike. Un-
fortunately for the Rock Hill team, the
silver trophy cup which was to be
awarded to the winning team, was car
ried off by the Fort Mill aggregation
by a margin Of four points, the final
count being Fort Mill 81 points, Rock
Hill II points. The second part Of the
programme was in the nature Of Sc
ries of events between the Rock Hill
boys. The meet marks the close Of a
very successful piece of work by York
Wilson, who has directed the activities
at the pool in very efficient way.
Aside from the recreational features
made possible by the running Of the
pool under it's present management,
there has been a decided benefit con-
tributed to the community, in that
about twenty-five boys have learned to
swim for the first time or have learned
to become far more proficient in the
water than when the pool opened. ......
