SWIMMING enthusiasts i think it too bad that Fannie Durack, who came all the way from Australia to meet some of the American girls at swimming, is passing up the chance to take part in the California meets, where Olga Dorf ner and Gertrude Artelt are setting new or equaling old records. Miss Durack is said to be very tem dled, there being conflict at home and in rived that she would swim In no fresh water' tanks. Inasmuch as it is im possible for the interior' cities to im port a few tanks of sea water, it looks as 4f Fannie will have' to do her swim ming in a bathtub properly seasoned with table salt, if she ever leaves Call fornia. ! "Miss. Durack's tour was badly han dled, there being coflict at home and- in California with the amateur authorities. When that was smoothed over. Miss Durack is said to have had an attack of uppishness. While - the Australian girl is spending her' time around San Fran cisco, refusing to do this or that, we have the spectacle of Duke Kahanamoku, the , great Hawaiian, making his triumphal tour of the country, swim' ming in warm and cold water . alike. meeting the best and the mediocre, with out complaint. - His tour is for the benefit of the Red Cross. Miss Helen Hicks, who finished sec ond in the national diving champion ships- last Saturday at the Multnomah club, had the best form in entering the water "of any of the five girl divers Thelma Payne, the new champion ; Con nie Meyer. 1917 champion, and Irene and Virginia Pembroke. Miss Hicks. by the way, won second place in the 191? diving championships, so "she is not new to the honor. She entered the water with the least amount of splash and her repertoire was perhaps better than the rest so far as it went. How ever, the Judges marked Miss Payne higher because she did more difficult dives than Miss Hicks. Miss Payne moved ' from third place last year to first place this year as the result of practicing some difficult stuff. Miss Hicks made the biggest hit of any of the divers with the gallery. George Schroth, tne rangy swimmer of the Riverside club. Sacramento, re tained his title of P. A. A. 100-yard champion in a close race at Idora park, Oakland, Saturday. Close on Schroth's heels came .Ray Jorgensen and Sandy trooaman. jorgensen and Goodman finished neck and neck and It was a tossup as to who won second place, but he judges gave the place to Jorgensen. .Schroth's time was 69 2-5 seconds. tW University 5f Pennsylvania coaches are spending the summer at T?av,n. ro i..v. instructing the members of the club In the art of swimming and Je Wright is in charge of the oarsmen.
