AMERICANS IMPROVE
IN SWIMMING FEATS
Three New Worlds Records Were Estab
lished at Recent Aquatic Carnival at
Honolulu--Effort Being Made to
Reorganize Hockey.

| New York, March 5.-The record.
breaking performances of American
swimmers at the recent aquatic carnival
at Honolulu call attention anew to the
remarkable improvement made by Amer
leans in this department of sport in the
past few years. Three new W, rld's rec
ords were established during the course
of one days racing with the result that
more than 50 per cent or .ha standard
records are now held by swimmers of the
states or Hawaii.
All told there are 35 standard events
which carry worlds records recognized in
the various countries where the sport is
popular and high speed swimmers devel-
oped These events range from 90 yards
or about the equivalent in meters to two
miles and are divided into bath or indoor
pool contests and open water competi-
lions. In the bat class Is events are
listed while Is are found in the open
water division This list does not take
into account odd distances, swimming ON
the back, plunge for distance and similar
contests.
OF the three new records made two
displaced times previously heid oy amer
lean swimmers but when Ludy LANCER OF
Los Angeles, Cal, won the 40y'rl
event in FIVE minutes II 3-5 seconds, he
broke record that had stood on the
books for some years to the credit of the
great Australian expert Keran. The lat
ter's time over the quarter course
in the Antipodes was five minutes, q -
seconds. Although America now has
clear lead in the total of records, Aus.

ment. Up to the present time the game
Of hockey has never been engoverned by
national body. The various leagues
and associations of the different sections
of the country control the game and
players in their territory with the result
that various eligibility codes and game
rules prevail.
The officers of the skating union hope
to standardize the regulations governing
both players and the sport and to this
end have requested the cooperation OF
the Amateur Athletic union, with which
it has an alliance. The A. A. z. is now
taking mail vote on the proposition
and it appears probable that the officers
will offer no objection TO the skating un-

ANACOSTIA MAY ELECT
COMMUNITY SECRETARY
Plan Discussed Last Night at q
Meeting Of the Citizens
Association.

Plans were presented at a meeting
Of the Anacostia Citizens Association
last night in Nichols avenue southeast
for an election OF community secre-
tary. DR.. James A. Watson presented
the matter. saying that 1t was his opin-
ion that such an election would be the
means Of creating widespread interest
in the work Of the association, and also
would give the people an idea of what
the right of suffrage for the District
would mean. The association has advo-
Gated suffrage for years. DR.. R. A.
Pyles also spoke in favor of the prof.
ect. President Burr appointed special
committee. consisting Of DR.. Watson,
Dr.. Pyles and Mr.. Appold to consider
the matter and make a report at the
next meeting.
THE street cars operating to Ana
costa at the present time are allowed
to get dirty. the schedule Is irregular
and receive complaint after complaint
regarding the general service"
This was the report of DR.. J. J. Nun
dell. chairman of the railroad commit
tee. DR.. Mundell said. however. that
while he was aware that the service
was poor, persons who have a COM
plant to make should be specific so
that the complaint could be intelligent
ly forwarded to the proper authorities.
He said that too many complaints, be-
cause of their general character, could
not be presented and consequently no
results were obtained.
The proposal to ask the Capital Trac-
ton Company to extend its lines to the
suburb was discussed. The suggestion
was made that they extend over the
Pennsylvania Avenue bridge through
Randle Highlands and along Minnesota
avenue to the suburb, which would
bring the line into the eastern section
of the community. now without any
street car service.
Much discussion was had concerning
the proposed house-to-house canvas,
by the local food administration, for
the purpose of interesting householders
in the conservation of food. President
Burr will tell the food administrator the
association will take part in the work
if it can do anything to aid the cam
paign.
A determined effort will be made
again to have the Commissioners recon-
mend to Congress the improvement of
18th street, from Pennsylvania avenue
to the bridge. This street Is now paved
with the old-fashioned cobblestones,
which are in poor condition. It was
brought out that this street is the con-
Meeting highway between Washington
and the suburbs and southern Maryland
and the only stretch of roadway that
has not been improved.
Charles r. Burr was reappointed dele
gate to the Federation of Citizens AS
sociations, with William ]. Latimer as
alternate. A letter was read from the
authorities saying that new oak trees
would be planted in Minnesota avenue.
The school committee reported that the
assembly hall at the Ketcham School
was still without the necessary furni-
ture. but that 1t would be obtained
soon.
