: lars From All Over South
 Scheduled to Compete in the Events at East Lake

From all present indications, the Southeastern A. A. U. swimming meet, which comes off Saturday at ! ast Lake, promises not only to be
 great success, but also has all of ear marks of being the great t bit of aquatic competition ever tailed off in the south.
 This is not ony true from the size ~ the entry list. which far exceeds " other in the swimming annals
 Birmingham, but it is also true
 om the standpoint of the quality If
 70 swimmers and range of interest
 the meet.
 The swimmers entered in this meet compose probably one of the yer collected together in BrminG- lam at any time, as most of them ave not only accomplished brilliant ats in past years. but have also Shown decided improvement in lorm for this season. As for the vide range from which the en- rants have come, with contestants coming from Florida Georgia, Ten aessee, Texas, Louisiana and Ala ama-this meet may be truly called an event to determine the rlghtful

 Memphis is sending over eight swimmers to uphold the acquati, honors of the Chickasaw city, and, if these swimmers show the stuff that they are touted as having, the Cas- cade boys are not going to have any dull time in attempting to walk off with the highest honors.
 Still another crowd of human fish who ought to go good is the team rom Atlanta. There is not much danger of this gang copping first place in the meet but they have scne men on their team who are likely to he instrumental in keeping some other team away from the coveted position.
 Seven From Montgomery
 Seven men will come from Mont eomery to compete in the events, and. while none of the men on this team have vet attained 'rep" over the south, they are said to be good Lunch of water performers and the swimming bugs of the Capital City are willing to bet anything that their team makes things hot for every other entrant in the meet.
 Getting a little closer to home. 1t might be said that the Birmingham Athletic club has gathered a bunch of swimmers together that bid fair to make one of the best teams that the old club ever turned out
