50-Yard Swim Last Evenng-Miss GaIgan Beats Dorothy
Burns by Enthusiastically Nearly Sets Worlds Record in
Observation-Disclosures Ross Takes Victory in 44O Event


Miss Kathleen Law lived UP to eX'
pectations by winning the 100 yard
novice race. Her long stroke which
was perfectly timed carried her to the
fore at the IS yard line, and when
Miss Tarleton, threatened to close up
the distance, the Los Angeles girl,
who has been adopted by Honolulu,
speeded up and finished in excellent
time Swimming critics are confident
that she could lower this time by a
fairly-good margin, 49,.
One of the spectators Shouted as
Miss Law was speeding up: Look at
the young girl with the Dorothy Burns
stroke" This is indeed compliment
to Miss Law, and the spectator was
not far from right. Miss Tarlton made
pretty race of 1t, and Madeline
Chaplin also surprised some of the
crowd by making a great squirt at the
finish.
Nitric Konowaloff,,, who tried to
change his name to Mitchell, but could
not in the swimming game. made a
big name for himself last evening.
The little Russian boy finished first
in the 100 yard race for boys under
10, and finished in 1s04, which is a
new record, smashing Gilman's mark
by 3-5 seconds. Chaplin and Matsu,
guma made a great race of it and
Chaplin, who has recently taken up.the
game, startled the crowd by his work.
This boy is a conner, and ought to be
heard of in future meets The boys
race was faster than the novice event.
Norman Ross proved conclusively
that he. was the greatest 440 yard
swimmer, by winning this event short:
ly after lie had competed in the so
yard dash. He took the lead from the
start, and ais long strokes, with a ma
chine-like motion carried him through
the water at great speed Ross
was given big hand when he was
announced but his reception did not
equal that OF Duke. "Stubby' made a
pretty race out of it, and in a shorter
distance would have given the Big.
Moose a much harder race Ross, did
not extend himself. in the last 100.
yards. Walker made aagood showing.
and surprised the swimming fans by
beating out the rest OF the field
Tough Bill was troubled with cramp
in the last 200 yards and fell behind.
The service relay was captured by
De Russy, who made a great bid for
honors in the last lap. The race was
over 600 yard course. III
Harold Kruger had a mightN hard
time trying to locate the line at the
finish, and had he continued his pace
as he neared the line would have no
doubt established new worlds record
for the distance The visiting swim
mers were not entered, and Clarence
Lane finished in second place. i
Roy Murphy and Walker made a
pretty race in the 80 yard service
event. The Alert natator barely won
out from the army man in the last two
yards. Dodge of the Alert was a close
third. This race ereatea much inter.
est among the enlisted men.
Harris and Pingry were scratched
in the 100 yard novice event, and Kae-
hu won out after a false start in the
first heat. Rego and Higgins made a
strong bid for place, but Keahu finish.
ed ahead by three yards in fairly fast
time. TX E.
Robert Fuller, champion diver of the
islands, once more defended his title
successfully by winning the event. ]
Jack Hjorth was second and Lorrin
Thurston third. Thurston did not show
the form that he did at the Y.M.C.A.
