day to convince even the Doubttng.
Thomases that he is headed for the
worlds championship.
Condition Counts
LANCER and McGilliyray must thanh
Ross for the records made. The Port-s
land swimmer followed both swim,
niers to the line and was going both
times before the end Of the race. Had
Ross been conditioned tor the race
there is no question about Ifs ability
to have set new record. The Port.
land boy is 10 pounds over weight
ing like LANCER and McGillivray.
The writer is goins - make pre-
dection that Ross will be a worlds
champion in the middle distances
within one year, providing that he
can settle down to the realization that
he must be in the pink Ct con
dltion for every race. After the
race Ross said that he had been
beaten fairly and he wanted to make
a statement that LANCER and McGillf.
yray were two wonderful swimmers.
Anything that a norman can lower
the worlds record In swim he Is
rot bloomer. and out OF justice to
Ross it must be said that he viii
some day startle the Honolulu fans
with his work. His powerful arm
motion has been commented upon,
and with this as a basis some real
trainer should make worlds cham-
piGn out of the Portland natator.
"Stubby" Was There
Harold Kruger once lowered the
record in the 100-yard back5troke. bur
he also owes the record to Lime. as
the Palama boy was right behind the
Healani swimmer throughout. Lane

event and is certain to be contender
in future events.
John Kelii made good time In the
229-yard swim, but he was np against
fast field, and those VINO had doped
hein to win hardly expected that the
time would be shattered by such 4
margin Kruger also madesa game
tight for place in the 229-yard event.
sign Him Up
Francis Brown is considered quito
water slicer at the beach, but few ex.
peeted that the all-around athlete
would simplex through the water for
record time. That he did on Saturday
and came within is seconds Of the
former worlds record for the event.
He has a beautifm stroke and should
he devote his tine to swimming would
without doubt be heard from In the
very near future His performances Is
perhaps the most notable event in the
novice class during the past few
years
Capt Pepin of Fort De Tussy Is
grooming Pingry to enter the open
events and after his performances on
the harbor the soldier norman Is GER
tain to be thought of in the future.
Fingry upset the dope ali around.
Even his friends did not figure him to
last the fnrlong, but he spurtcd
