DOINGS OF
THE ATHLETES
Sharsch Runs Good Mile
--McC andless' Hands
Full.

| Ten of the Diamond Head track team
| went to Kapiolanf Park for practise
early on Sunday morning and some
good work was done.
The boys found the earth track an
agreeable change after week on the
cinder path and their performances
gave ample evidence of this. Kapio-
lani Park is a splendid place to hold a
championship meeting. The track is
faster than the Boys Field and pos
sesses the great advantage that the
distance can be run off on one circuit.
OF course, the trouble is that the
track isn't fenced in, but a small ad-
mission to the grandstand should yield
the Boys Clubs, who are promoting
the meet, a handsome return.
Mannis, the holder of the local rec
at Kapiolani Park.
The star performer on Sunday was
Sharsch, who went a mile that was
faster than has been negotiated in Ho-
nolulu for a long time. This runner
Is coming right along and should put
a good performance on record at the
coming meet
The Diamond Heads will go to Kapi-
olani Park for practise every Sunday
from now on.
The Hams and Diamond Heads were
out at the Boys Field yesterday after |
noon. McCandless did some good shot |
putting and is developing into quite an |
artist in this particular line. His YER |
satflitv is remarkable and if he gets |
through the program mapped out for |
him without breaking down or going |
stale, he is a wonder. He is training
for the sprints, weights long and high /
jump pole vault and the quarter and |
IS EXPECTED to practically win the meet
FOR the Rams. A parallel case, almost.
IS that of En- Sue of the Diamond |
Heads.
Carter was Looping round the track
again last night and En- Sue and |
A9ana both had their shoes on.
Hang Chack Hopper and two or
.hree other heel-and-toe men made the
circuit number of times.
