but John Kelii closed up and won out
in 2-5 seconds slower than the rec
ord held by Daniels. Harris made
pretty race for second place.
! Albert Minvielle proved to be a
/ slayer for the longer distances, and al
! though many OF the fans were conf
dent that Chung would win out he
failed to go the century up to the
standard of the Outrigger boys.
Kruger Wins It
Stubby Kruger had a walkaway in
the 75-yard backstroke, finishing in
40 As seconds. Hebner's time for this
distance was 40. Preston Chaplin
proved to be the real class OF the 22O
yard novice winning easily. This
swimmer has been showing unusual
promise and will without doubt be one
of Hawaiis real stars in the future.
Markham did not appear to be up to
his usual form.
Hitchcock gave Kelii a great race
for so yards in the 100 meter open and
for a time was leading the Healani
swimmer, but Kelii woke up and
opened up big gap in the last lap.
The youngsters under II years or
age got a hand last night when they
flashed through the water. and little
Burbank, the water wizard, won out
in a hot finish. The breaststroke was
called no race as the swimmers were
disqualified for not swimming the
proper breaststroke and failing to
touch with both hands.
All Kin zee, champion Chinese
swimmer Of the world, won the 100
yard open event with a margin to
spare over Hitchcock. Bob Fuller took
the diving honors once more and
Chung came back in the so and won
from Minvielle who had defeated him
in the longer event.
The last event of the evening was
expected to be hard fight, but the
Aud sisters Of Palama gained such a
lead over 0utrigger swimmers that
Josephine Hopkins and Marion Dow
sett made a great fight in the last re.
lay, but Thelma Kenn had a real lead
and was not in danger.
