{ The first event on the program this
evening will give the swimming de-
voices an idea of the future greats.
! There will be IL entries in the boys
race for the 100 yards. All Of the boys
are under Is, but this does not hinder
them from chalking up fast time.
Nitric Mitchell, nee Konowaloff, has
not been swimming much of late, but
| if he is in any kind of shape should
win out by a narrow margin. Shlgl
Matsuguma and Preston Chaplin are
two other swimmers who must be tig-
ured on in this race.
Go to it, "Stubby"
Honolulu will naturally be pulling
for "Stubby" to win in the l50-yard
back stroke and he ought to be the
favorite. Ross gave him a great race
last year, but despite this fact the
local natator should win out. Ross,
Siegel and Jones are all excellent per-
formers in this event, but should
Clarence Lane and Buster Carter en-
ter there promises to be real fight
for position. Kruger and Ross ap-
pear to have a slight edge.
In the 100-yard novice event, which
is the third event on the program,
the lovers Of the aquatic sport will
again see future greats. This event
promises to give big boost for swim
ming, and the committees are to be
congratulated for staging such an
event. r...--
Miss Law Should Win
Kathleen Law Of Los Angeles, al
though in reality it ought to be Ho-
nolulu, is conceded to have an excel
lent chance to win this event. She
has spent much OF her time in learn
ing feature swimming, and only re-
Gently has taken up racing. Those
who have watched her in the various
meets predict a bright future for her.
She has excellent form for long dis
lance swimming. and should be at
her best over the 400.
Madeline Chaplin will make her first
appearance in race. She has been
practising at the beach, and the Out
rigger Club members believe that
she will win out in the race tonight.
Miss Chaplin has a beautiful stroke,
and should she decide to take up
swimming seriously would no doubt
become one of Hawaii's leading stars.
Thelma Kenn, who is not yet Is years
old, will be seen in action, and should
finish well up.
The 50-yard service event will bring
out some fast performers Pingry OF
De Russy is not entered in this event,

vice men to the line, although there
will be a number of stars entered in

Novice Event ..:"=
Following the 220 swim for ladies,
the 1O0-yard novice event will be
staged. There are about 25 entries
for this event, and it will be hard to
select a winner. A close race is ex-
pected. Gay Harris of the Outrigger
Club has been swimming well, and
the same holds good for Pingry of
De Russy.! The Hui Nalu will have
three fast entries in Mckinney, Mark
ham and Steiner, with Mckinney hav-
Ing a slight edge. Kaehu of Palama
must not be forgotten as he has made
excellent time in the past. .
. A close fight is expected between
Robert K. Fuller and Lorrin Thurs
ton In the diving events. Thurston
has greatly improved and should beat
out Jack Hjorth in the springboard
exhibitions.
Norman Ross looks like a winner in
the 440-yard event, although Kruger
mist not be despised. The Honolulu
boy has been making good time over
this distance, and may force Ross to
set new record for the distance, al
though Kruger is not expected to put
up the race that LANCER would have
set against the big Moose" Tough
Bill" and Walker ought to have a
hard race for the third position.
O'Brien is not entered in the relay
for the Alert, and this may give the
De Russy team an advantage, al
though Murphy should win from his
man and Dodge and Whited look to
be strong factors. With O'Brien the
Alerts would have had the advantage.
but without him De Russy has a
chance to finish first. At any rate
1t looks like real race from start
to finish, and comes as a good closer
to an all-star card
