(By Associated Press)
jjj SAN FRANCISCO, May 30.—Thei
Is an unprecedented activity In swli
ming events along the Pacific Coat
•ji: According to officials of local athlet
ii;i organizations the number of mee
already scheduled and In contempl
““ tion exceeds that of any previous yea
..... This interest has been growing fi
I the last two or three years and is
natural one. World's champions sut
as Ludy Bangers of Bos Angele
Duke Kahanamoku of Honolulu. No
man Ross or San Francisco, and othe
have had much to do with inspirir
ijij the youngsters to emulate their aqua
jijj ic achievements, and has prominent:
ijjj brought the sport to the attention i
j:j: the public. A half score of girl swir
ji;: mers, a number of them holding n
ijij tional and world’s records, has ha
jiji the same influence among their sex.
jjjj The next feature event for the gir
jjjj will be the Golden Gate swim, whlc
iji; is being arranged by the San Frai
jiji cisco Bulletin for June 9. It is e
iji; pected that the biggest field of me
.... maids that ever tried to accomplis
iji; | the feat will face the starter's gu
j:j: on that day. While the distance acroi
i?i the famous entrance to San Francisc
jijj bay only approximates one mile,
ijij calls for all the qualities of speei
jjj endurance and headwork in comba
jijj ting the many tidal conditions whic
■jij exist.
ijj; j The recent eastorn championshi
jiji j winning achievements of Norma
jij: Ross, which have placed him on
jjjj! par with the world's greatest swin
iji! mers, have been the latest stimuli!
j:j j to the sport. Whether or not hi
ijj j prowess will discourage others froi
jij competing in the events that he er
jjj | ters remains to be seen. In that cas
jjj the boom he has given the sport wil
jjj [ be nullified. Ross, however, has th
jjj best interest of swimming at hearl
:j: j and is not likely to pursue anyf cours
•ji | detrimental to it.
31 The Oakland team of the Pncifi
£ Coast Baseball League continues t
| he the surprise of the season. Starl
:j:! ing off the first week by losing si:
:•, of the seven games played against th<
:• San Francisco team, the Oaklander
generally w-ere selected to maintaii
j undisputed possession of the cella
. i position In the league. Since then
Manager Howard's men have mon
than held their own, and unless theli
: showing of the last three weeks is bu
a flash in the pan, are likely to re
ceive respectful consideration in th<
future from the other teams in tht
league. Howard's club is made U]
mostly of younger players, who havt
yet their mark to make at the gamt
and if they are able to stand tht
stress of the long season at the pace
they have recently maintained, the
management will be rewarded in their
stand that the coming young player
is better material to work on than
the more experience! men cast off by
the major leagues.
No predictions are being ventured
j as to what will be in store for the
football season in the fall. The spring
light practice which many teams have
heretofore held in the past, practical
ly has been abandoned this year. The
entire situation will Ire contingent on
the war developments between now
and September. Judged by the pres
ent outlook it generally is believed
that regular collegiate schedules will
be abandoned, and that the 1917 sea

I simple statement. “No games because
I bf war."
San Francisco wrestling promoters
are endeavoring to bring the sport
back into favor by securing the ser
vices of the topnotchers in the busl
ness. A number of bouts staged be
tween second grade men recently has
barely paid for the rental of the hall.
With the first class professional box
a ers barred from the ring in Callfor
, nit, the public must be satisfied with
, 'he mediocre performances of the les
lc s,lr lights. That It does not intend
iH *° Patronize inferior wrestling bouts
j. whpn there Is no reason why It should
r not have the best, has evidently been
ir brought home to the promoters
through the medium of the recent slim
^ audiences. Among the wrestlers
sought here are Strangler Ed Lewis
' a»d Craddock Olln, up to the time of
hlR match with Lewis, in which It is
R intimated he quit, was Included in the
, liRt. but his recent action has ellmin
a'pd him ns a prospective contender.
) Mrs. Willis B. Austin, who recently
^ won the lnwn bowling championship
<>f San Francisco, has a record of win
ning four important bowling tourna
ments within the last nine months.
In winning the city championship she
defeated Mrs. W. P. Higginbotham, the
first woman champion of America.
