There was a very hard struggle between Ella Eklund and Elsa Regnell,both diving in first class style and with plenty of speed.Final.Saturday, 13 July.Place-figures. Points.1. GRETA JOHANSSON Sweden2. LISA REGNELLSweden3. ISABELLE WHITE Great BritainNot placed:Elsa RegnellSwedenElla Eklund,Elsa Andersson,Selma Andersson,Tora Larsson,Greta Johansson had a very successful day, and dived in the veryfinest style. Lisa Regnell, too, was very good and was, almostunanimously, placed by the judges next to Greta Johansson. Shecame too much over, however, in a running dive from the greatestheight, and so lost points. Miss White dived, as usual, with lots ofpower, but her entry into the water was very poor and she carriedher arms incorrectly during the passage through the air. Neither ElsaRegnell nor Ella Eklund succeeded in getting placed, in consequenceof some accidental mistakes. Selma Andersson dived at a good speedand, at one part of the proceedings, looked a possible prize-winner.SPRING-BOARDDIVING.First Round.7 p. m., Monday, 8 July.Heat 1: I.

This was a pretty strong heat, but the two representatives af Germany dominatedthe whole entirely. Günther was best man in the compulsory part of theprogramme, but Behrens was exceedingly good in the voluntary dives, and fourof the judges placed him first. Mc Aleenan (U. S. A.), was given third place byall the judges, although he was seriously threatened by Brandsten, who was decidedlythe better man in the compulsory dives, but failed altogether in his last voluntarydive (One and a half somersault forwards, with the hands close to the sides).Heat 2: I. JOHN JANSSON, Sweden, pl. 5, p. 77,77, 2. ALBERT ZÜRNER, Germany,pl. 10, p. 76,64, 3. E. EKLUND, Sweden, pl. 16, p. 53,02, 4. Carlo Bonfanti,Italy, pl. 19, p. 46,81. Jansson (Sweden) had a very successful day, and thejudges unanimously placed him before Zürner, the victor in the spring-board divingat the Olympic Games of London, in 1908, who did not do everything he could739
