SPORTS NOTES "AND COMMENTS.

It is gratifying to note that the "Hon Inspector General of Police will take steps, as soon as it is possible to do so, to secure a swim- "ming bath for the Police and members of the Prison Department. The aquatic sports held on Satur- day för members of these two bodies was a great success but from a swimmer's point of view, it was also a failure. "The good entries the keen competition, the large. number of spectators, the orderli ness with which everything was carrried out, apoke volumes for the hard working committee and was a just reward for their efforts. What was wanting, however, was quality among the competitors."

Given proper

facilities, these men, tome of whom have the mak❘ jags of great swimmers, divers

and water polo players, would give a race to the best in the Colony. As it was, they were in a class by themselves. The water polo exhibi- tion was a mere scramble the long plunge event produced none who could cover more than fifty feet... In this and in many other ways the absence of training of any kind made, itself evident. The hundred yards championship was a good race, but the winner took 73 seconds to do the distance, this being 12 seconds behind the championship time and only three eccoada abead of the time taken by a youngster a fortnight

These are some of the reasons why a swimming tank is badly needed. In addition to making good swim- mers of policemen and others con- nected with police work, it will enabled more to take up life saving lessons and, I daresay, will make this healthy force even more robust. I hope the I.G.P. succeeds in his application.

PROSPECTS FOR COMING SEASON.

The following comment upon this season's homeside football teams gives some interesting details of personalities and prospects:-

CRYSTAL PALACE,

Although Crystal Palace fell far expectations Inst season, when they descended seven places in the Third Division League table, the management has not become panic-stricken, and has made few alterations in the team for the approaching campaign. Only four additions have been made to the ranks, for it is felt that the team which came

to winning promotion the previous year is cap able of much better results.
