A spectacular 0n1Sh that saw Blu
Tarbett come from behind to win
the highboard diving crown and its
medley relay team take advantage
Of Y. N. G. A. miscue In captur.
ing the flnal event on the program
gave the Shoreham team So points
and the District A. A. U. indoor
swimming championship last night
In It's home pool.

down the list were Woodrow vii.

Tarbett's Rally Tells.
Tarbett staged q whirlwind finish
to nose out Bert williams of Will
son and keep his crown for the
third consecutive year, spotting his
opponent 10 points in the compul-
sorry dives only TO overtake and pass
him In the more difficult optional
performances. Tarbett clinched the
title on his final attempt, a forward
haf-gainer that netted ~ points.
His total was 114.07 to Williams
103.05.
Easily the most thrilling race on
the l0-event program was the 800.
yard medley relay which was con-
tested in two heats and decided on
the best time. The Y. M. c. A. "A"
team with Boggs swimming the
breaststroke and Compton the
backstroke. opened up a huge lead
over Shoreham's "A" team and ap-
peared to be q "shoo-in" for the
honors But on the last lap Fielder,
swimming the crawl, got tangled up
In the lane marker, almost going
into the neighboring lane and in his
ensuing struggle to free himself,
Wright, Of Shoreham, came up and
passed him.
Shoreham, with Kolinski and
Koulius handling the first two as
signments, finished in the good time
of 1892.
Patsy Palmer Sets Mark.
One meet record went by the
boards in the l50-yard girls medley
as Patsy Palmer, Shoreham ace:
overcame an early lead obtained bv
Lucille Kirsch and won with yards
to spare in the excellent time Of
2:14. She lowered the old standard
Of 2:15I8 hung up by Anne Arnson Of
Ambassador last year.
The Shoreham girls were unop-
posed.
