IRELAND PEEVED.
SWIMMING ENTRIES REJECTED. LONDON, August 5. The Irish Amateur Swimming Association has protested against the Empire Games Council's "absurdly illogical and entirely unsustainabVe" refusal to accept the entry of Irish swimmers "because the Free State and Ulster are different political divisions and therefore the council could not consistently accept an entry, as it must keep to the political style and title of various territories." The association declares there has been a campaign to discourage Irish entries. It asserts that the council accepted an Ireland team from the Irish Bowling Association, while all-Ireland jurisdiction prevails in Rugby, golf, hockey and cricket.
