REGRETTABLE
UOME people have a queer sense of sportsmanship. At the meeting of the Auckland Swimming Centre the other night, a member stated that “it would only be funk” on Miss Stockley’s part if she did not start in a special 100yds race which the centre had proposed to stage. After the magnificient performances Miss Stockley put up in Australia, it is a matter for regret that she should return to Auckland only to have a taunt like this flung at her, hardly was she off the boat. Both Miss Stockley and Miss Miller had a very strenuous time of it in Australia, and to endeavour to force an unequal contest so soon after Miss Stockley returns suggests that there is far too much partisanship in Auckland swimming. Whatever the internal differences that are at present aqitating the centre, it deserves full credit for reconsidering the position when this aspect of the matter became apparent.
