TWENTY ENTRIES FOR BIG
KALAKAUA AVENUE RACE
Four Entries for Veterans and One for the
Heavyweight Glass Only---AIl the
Contestants Training.

he shall Immediately disqualify any
competitor when walking unfairly dur
ing the last 220 yards of race
While the letter of the ruling calls
for two warnings before disqualified
ton, the spirit of the law undoubtedly
il that these warnings shall be given
only when the judge is in doubt wheth-
er the walker action is fair or If he
broke" Intentionally or by accident.
The idea is evidently to give a walker
the benefit of any doubt which may
exist so that he may not suffer by sum
mary disqualification for an infraction
of the rules of walking which he in
advertently committed or was unaware
of. AS soon as a man runs fagrantly
and deliberately he should be disqual-
fled forthwith and called off the track.
TO allow him to continue in a race
after being disqualified is paipably
unfair to the other competitors. To
give such an offender the prescribed
number Of warnings would give him a
chance to "mix it, to such good eff
feet between warnings that, no matter
how fairly lie walked after the final
warning, it would be impossible for a
the race, to overtake him.
All Training Faithfully.
Those who have entered are taking
the race seriously enough. They are
all training faithfully, and it looks as
though excellent time would be made.
Dick Sullivan started in yesterday
morning. He went down to the Hea-
lani Boat Club and attired himself in
many suits of clothes, then went out
and proceeded to wet those clothes
well with perspiration. On his return
he was some pounds lighter, and stated
that he felt wonderfully fit, consider
ing that he has had little outdoor ex-
ercise of late.
Dial Fahy is working at Puuloa, but
in sending in his entry he stated, with
his usual confidence, that he is train
ing for the event and will certainly
walk by every long-legged newspaper
course, is merely his side of the ques-
ton. The reality will be something
quite different. A very sad reality for
Dial.
Nigel Jackson is another contestant
who may be depended on to make good.
He is in excellent shape and states that
he feels confident of making good time.
From now, until the day of the race,
he will spend a certain portion of each
day walking on the roads as hard as he
can go.
Ayres May Do Better.
Ayres, the man who has so nearly
defeated Sullivan twice, is taking this
quite seriously. He started regular
training two days ago and works ev-
cry afternoon or morning, sometimes
both. Yesterday he was out on the
beach road for about mile of hard
walking and finished up with a remark
ably good sprint of more than two
hundred yards. He was not distressed
after it and stated that his muscles
stood the strain remarkably well.
Antoine Kaoo, the Waialua horse and
marathon champion, is working with
his friend David Kahana. They get
out on the road every day and both
have excellent styles. Kaoo is equally
as good walker as he is a runner and
there is every possibility that he will
make Sullivan hustle for the victory.
Sam Hop, the champion Chinese
walker, is working faithfully to make
good showing. In the first race Sam
started off with a terrific burst of
speed, but could not keep it up. If
! he gets in trife better condition and
| holds his pace at the start, he may well
surprise everybody.
The only service entry is George
Walters who is a trumpeter at Camp
