time ago Miss Hiorth, however. haC
excellent form, and her arm motion
showed a great Improvement over last
year. She appeared to have moro
power and after the first 20 YARDS
there was never a question as TO the
winner.
Younsster Stars
Josephine Hopkins and Miss Law
staged a race for the first 30 yards
but Miss Law dropped behind and
then Miss Edith Kenn, the 15-year old
pupil OF Ruth Stacker. began to show
the benefit of her coaching. She
made the last turn in an excellent
manner, passed Miss Law and made
a game effort to cut down the lead
held by Miss Hopkins. The work OF
the little Palama girl was one OF the
features of the evening.
!nasmuch as feminine swimming is
taking hold throughout the country
practically beating out the mermen
at present, there is bound to be an
interest in swimming here. Miss Law
is an excellent swimmer, although
best over a longer distance. Had she
not been troubled with an injured
shoulder, there is no doubt about her
making better time. In the Misses
Hiorth, Hopkins and Kenn, Honolulu
has three future swimmers. Miss
Hiorth ought to be able to cut down
that mark in the September meet.
Carter Beats Lane
Another surprise came in the back
stroke event when Buster Carter beat
| out Clarence Lane for second place.
Lane has been considered in a class
very close to Kruger in this event,
and has usually given the Healani
swimmer strong competition. Last
night Buster Carter showed wonder
full Improvement, and although Kruge.
went for a record, Carter was not far
behind.
Chaplin of the Outrigger club was
the real dark horse in the 50-yard
event for boys He surprised the
swimming fans by beating out Mat
suguma, held the lead for the first 81
yards, but Chaplin speeded up and
passed the Palama boy.
LANCER Wins FurIona
Ludy LANCER proved that he was in
good shape for competition when he
finished ahead Of John Kehi in the 220
yard championship race in 2.31 3-5,
which was excellent time. For the
first few laps Kelii kept even with
LANCER, but he lost on the turn, and
from that time on the champion con.
tinued in the lead. Had LANCER been
crowded harder in the last lap, he
might have cut down this mark some
what.
Kelii was showing to form in the
early stages of the race, and his pow
erful arms were bringing him along
at fast clip. LANCER was speeding
up though with a touch Of the trud-
geon in his kick, and his form and
Judge of pace gave him victory over
Kelii. Kruger did not enter as he had
made a hard race in the backstroke.
Service Race
One of the most exciting finishes Of
the day was staged in the service
race when Murphy and Pingry fought
it out for first and O'Brien and Walker
battled for third. "Spud" Of the Alert
was leading by one yard at the last
lap and the race was on, but Pingry
could not stand the speed and Muir.
pry won out by about six yards.
O'Brien ard Walker finished even for
third.
Capt. Pepin had no swimmer to
cover Dodge Of the Alert in the relay
and as c consequence, the Alert men
won out By good margin. The race |
was close for time, but Murphy made |!
Q good race and Pingry had no chance |
to catch Dodge with the big lead.
Successful Meet
The meet was carried out in an ex-
c2ient manner, and the starting of
was unusually good. The spe.
cial features appealed to the specta-
tors ard exhibitions in diving by Bob
Fuller Lofrfn Thurston and Jack
H:orth wore good. Thurston made a
number o: spectacular dives, and
should - least beat Hjorth for place
IN the friday events. Hjorth is OH
form at this time, as his work last
evening was :Ar from his usual stand.
