Trials on Tuesday
Owing to the large number Of en-
tries, it will be necessary to stage
elimination contests tomorrow eve
ming. Interest is ctrtain to be
divided among the different races, as
the events in which LANCER, kelu and
Kruger will enter; the service races,
and the battle between the Termaids,
will all attract much attention.
This year there is more interest
than ever in the girls races, and
the open events promise to bring out
some good swimmers. Inasmuch as
Claire Galligan is coming here, the
followers Of the sport will naturally
take a deep interest in the work Of
Hawaii's feminine stars.
Mermads to Swim
Gerd Hiorth, Josephine Hopkins and
Kathleen Law will be entered in the
open event, with Edith Kenn, one OF
the girls from Palama who is under
Is years of age, as an added starter.
Miss Hiorth has perhaps the best
form for the short distances, but both
Miss Law and Miss Hopkins have
plenty of power, and the race should
be close throughout. Edith kenn has
been improving wonderfully under the
coaching of Ruth Stacker, and her
work will be watched with interest.
She is especially fast on the turns.
Spectators will have an opportunity
to watch Miss Helen Martin, the II
year-old star, who has been diving at
Idora park in California. She Is a
Honolulu girl. and has made a big
hit in her exhibitions on the main
land. Many believe that she will be
the first at the finish in the girls
race.
Will Watch Ludy
Ludy LANCER should show plenty
Of speed in the various events, which
will be staged, and it is certain that
he will point everything toward the
race with Norman Ross, the big |
Moose" of the swimming game. Lam
ger has been training for this nett, !!
and should be at his best, especially |
n a race with many turns.
There are enough special events to
keep the spectators amused, and all |
n all Glenn Jackson, chairman OF the
committee, feels the two nights
meet will be a complete success from |
every angle. In a previous meet,
,very seat was taken, and the specta-
ors we're hanging on to the walls.
