SWIMMING
A DOMINION TOUR. AUCKLAND, Jan. 30. Advice has been received by the New Zealand %Amateur Swimming Association that the proposed tom- of New Zealand by two Australian lady champion swimmers has been cancelled. The Association originally extended an invitation to Misses Claire Canklwell and Ett-ie Robertson and, when it was learned that the former was not available, asked for Misses Robertson and Edna DaVey. Miss Davey is required to sivim for New South Wales in the Australian championships to be held shortly, so the tour has been allowed to lapse. In negotiating for the visit, the Association had in mind the popularising of swimming in the smaller centres and, in order not to disappoint the manv applicants for carnival dates, it has arranged a Dominion tour by Misses Eva Stoekley (Auckland) and Kathleen Miller (Dunedin). These two swimmers ivill commence n Dunedin about February 12 and tour northivards as far as Dargaville ivhere tlio.v should arrive at the end nf March.' Miss Stoekley is the Iffil yards free style and backstroke champion and record holder of Neiv Zealand arid Australia, and Miss Miller won the 220 yards and 440 yards Dominion ladies’ championships last week in very fast time. Mrs. Miller lias been appointed chaperon.'—l .A.
