GET BILLS DOPE
WESTERN Swimmers CIGCLE.
AT A. A. U. Importance
RY II. c. HAMILTON

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Giggles that
have gone from one end of the United
States Pacific Coast to the other
were started recently when the
Amateur Athletic Union, meeting in
New York, decided to keep women
swimmers from competing with the
male OF the species. and as a side
issue decreed that there must be a
change in the garb worn by the lady
fish.
The A. A. T. highbrows ordained
it to this effect: "All women con-
testants in swimming events must
wear bathing suits of a black texture
that covers their bodies from should
er to toe"
The giggle is still giggling, or it
was at very recent reports. The mer-
maids absolutely refused to get eX-
cited over the advice and announced
that henceforth. just the same as
heretofore, they will follow their own
inclinations and wear the popular
one-piece kind of Annette Kellerman
decOllette suits.
Several OF these sprites declared
with a grin tucked in here and there
that to insist on women wearing
stockings in swimming events is the
funniest thing they ever heard sug-
gested.
ED like to take some Of those
men, hang stockings on them and
then make them swim races in rough
water, one remarked.
The women are united in declaring
that the stockings quickly become
water bags, retarding the swimmer
and making it almost impossible to
race.
Another remarked.
mo girl would be able to achieve
good time in a suit such as the Off
cials prescribe. The knee and foot
must be free. Neither man nor wo-
man in the water feels at home with
any fabric clogging the foot and legs.
II the costume is insisted upon, it
will simply put an end to women rae
ing. But / do not expect western
officials to agree TO such narrow
minded and unnecessary regula-
tions."
One woman well-known as swim
mer wants to know why the A. A.
L. officials didn't suggest that the
women wear hats and shoes, too.
