SHANGHAI SWIMMING ENTRIES

Entries for the five Shanghai | swimming championships to be held in conjunction with the C.S.F. Gala on August 23, have proved somewhat disappointing compar- ed with the excellent response re- ceived last week, when four championship events were decid- ed, and in the Ladies' 100. Yards free-style and Junior 220 Yards free-style actually only two com- petitors have submitted their ap- plications. However, in the three men's races-the 440 Yards free- style, 220 Yards breast-stroke and 150 Yards back-stroke-a different state of affairs exists, and sum- cient competition should be pro- duced to compensate for the lack of interest in the remaining two events on the programme.

Following are the events and entries:
