The events held in the. prclimin7r-
les for the. big meet at the. ~ tank
were successful and number OF
young swimmers who look promising
were discovered. This perhaps Is due
to the fact that bosh the A. A. U. and
M. G., A. have looked TO the future.

been given a chance.
Youngsters Star.
One of the most interesting. fea-
lures of the preliminary meet at the
Nj. C. A. was the work Of the
youngsters. Duke and Cunna did not
swim, but the. crowd forgot them
while the coming champions were
speeding to the finish line. Right
now there Is more interest in. swim
ming than in the, grand old game OF
baseball, principally because the ma
tators can see some hope for the III.
ture. @
There wasn't the time marked up
last evening that one will see at the
meet August 10, but the one pleasing
incident that parked the meet was the
competition of the boys. One young
ster Is years OLD swan the 100 yards
in 65 seconds This is ] 2-5 seconds
better than the time made in the
~Rocky Mountain A A. U. champion
ships.
1o5 for Century.
In the first event of the evening
Matsugama and Pua raced home in
the lead IN fast time, and in the sec
ond heat Nitric Korawaloff and SUI
wan qualified In fast time. Nitric,
the little Russian 13tyear-old natator
was clicked in LOS for the distance
In the second event A. B. Carter, Jr.
won from McFie in the back stroke
for $50 yards.
John. Putze and Nitric qualified in
the boys race 1or 100 yards, as did
| Hiorth and Sabotin in the second
heat. The times were 1.23 3-5 and
118 Is The boys did net extend
themselves and 1t is certain that the
time will be lowered in the coming
meet
The 220-yard novice was one of the
| featunre of the evening. Pau, Nitric,
Frank Cunha and George Bushnell
| were the starters, and the first two
had great race all the way and
came to the finish line together, but
Pua's reach was longer and he beat
Nitric out by a fraction. The time
was ESQ As, which is fast time for
| the kids.
Lane Makes Fast 80.
| In the last race OF the evening Clar.
ence Lane made the so yards in Al 10,
| which is remarkably fast time He
was pushed by Kelii in the last lap
and the former diver nearly caught
the fleeting swimmer at the finish.
! Kelii got off to bad start, but fin.
ished in fast time. Lanes mark for
this distance proves that he will be
a strong contender in the coming ra
ces.
