PARIS, July 12.—Twenty-four na- tions are entered for competition in the Olympic swimming contests be- ginning tomorrow. The races will be held in the spacious and finely equip- ped swimming stadium built by the city of Paris at a cost of 8,000,000 francs on the eastern edge of the city, a site opened up when the old city walls were torn down. The swimming pool is acknowledged by all the conitnental experts to be the most up-to-date in Europe, and the American swimmers already have had much favorable comment to make upon it. The Americans, Australians, Swedes. Japanese and Belgians are the favor- ites to win the competition, in the order named, but the experts are looking also to France, Great Britain and Holland to furnish possible sur- prises. Tomorrow’s program consists of 1,500-meter free-style elimination trials for men and 400-meter free- style elimination trials for women. The United Statés water polo team will meet France in the first Olympic match scheduled. TANK-R. 0.T. C.
