Tie final events in the big swim
ming carnival at the \. NJ {. A. will
be staged this evening A record
crowd was on hand in the first even
ing. and there is certain 10 be another
large crowd IN attendance tonight,
when the first event begins at
o'clock
Tank swimming Is increasing in
popularity. and with such a large
number OF entries the present meet,
which is the first A A. /. champion
ships, has proved a big success. A
number OF close races are expected in
the events this evening.
LANCER in 500
The 5OO-yard swim will perhaps be
one of the feature events OF the even
ing, and this should bring out some
good talent, although Ludy LANCER is
expected to finish ahead OF the field.
The womens events, and the service
races are also popular features.
Sheridan WinsOr should win out in
the 50-yard novice event over Hitch
cock of the Outrigger, although this
race is expected to be a real finish.
Harvey is also good over this dis
lance. Hitchcock sprang a surprise
the other evening and may crowd
Winsor to the limit
Lane in Century
Clarence Lane is picked to win tie
century swim from the other contend
ers, and ought to make pretty fast
time, as he looked especially good in
the 50-yard event ON Wednesday. John
Kelii ought to finish second in this
event with Harold Kruger third. Lor-
rim Thurston has improved greatly
and will no doubt give the three stars
q great race.
In the 5O-yard swim for girls under
Is years of age, Edith Kenn, the -
year-old mermaid, is figured TO win
out by a narrow margin from her
sister, Thelma kenn. The younger
sister has showed to advantage In
tank swimming, and although she lost
out to Thelma in open water, should
win in the 50-yard tank race. An
other close race is expected between
Elsie Aud and Eleanor Lyser for
third place,
Pua Kealoha looks like the winner
in the breast stroke with William
Rowatt making a strong race for sec
ond. Richard Carter has salso made
good time in this race, and should fin
ish close up with the leaders.
6erd Hiorth FaYorGd
There is certain to be much interest
in the 100 yards women's champion
ship, and in this race the longer dis
lance will give some of the mermaidS
an advantage. Gerd Hiorth should
win out in this race with everything
equal, providing that she judges her
pace. Kathleen Law is better at the
longer distances, and it appears as II
her best race would be the 220 or
440: Josephine Hopkins has made
good time in the century and ought
to finish ahead Of the Los Angeles
girl. The young ladies will have an
opportunity to show what can he done
in sprint swimming here. 1t would
not be at all surprising to see the
time for the winner around lis.
In the 500-yard championship Ludy
LANCER appears to have the call with
Harold Kruger and John Kealoha
trailing the champion. LANCER showed
enough in the 220-yard event to in.
sure his making good time over this
distance.
Thurston improves
The springboard diving should
bring out some good exhibitions, ant
with Robert Fuller entered. the events
should be good. Fuller looks like a
winner in this event, although Lorrin
Thurston has been making some good
exhibitions of late, and should beat
out Jack ,Hiorth.
Healani should win out in the relay
race which will close the program. A
close race is expected between Palama
and the unattached team for second
place Palama may have the edge
with Clarence Lane as an anchor man.
Service Events
In the 220-yard service event Pingry
should come back and defeat Murphy,
although the Alert man won out in the
10O-yard event, Walker of De Russy is
better over the furlong distance and
should win a third place.
Murphy looks the best in the 50-yarG
& event, although Dodge is expected to
crowd him to the limit. Pingry will
without doubt make a strong race
over this distance. This ought to be
a great race throughout, as O'Brien
has plenty of speed in the shorter
sprints.
