TSUkAMOTO IS
HERE AND Fit
Jackson Is Working Hard and
Is Given Running
C0rks.

Tsukamoto, the crack japanese run
ner from Hilo, arrived on the Mauna
Kea yesterday morning with Ono, his
manager, and Nogili, his trainer. He
looked to be in excellent shape and
stated that he felt that he could easily
win the race with the whole week of
training that he has ahead of him.
Tsukamoto will do his training on
the road, at Kapiolani park and at
the Athletic park during the last few
days SO as to get used to the six-lap
track.
Nigel Jackson is sure working hard
to be fit for the ten-mile race.
He was out yesterday afternoon and
hammered out nine miles in the ex-
cellent time of fifty minutes He
was not exerting himself but states
that he could have done it in much
less time.
A proof that Nige has some admir-
ers in town was given yesterday, when
a local sportsman who likes his style
of running handed him a pair of run
ming corks and told him to use them
all the time, as he would find it a
! great relief to have something to grip
on.
Fahy and Downey Work.
Dial Fahy and Downey were out on
! the road together yesterday afternoon.
i They were content with five miles
which they made at a hot pace, led
| out by two friends on bicycles who
made the pace as nearly even as they
could.
They chose the beach road for their
F., route and, after they had finished
they took swim Downey complain
| ed of nasty cold before the run but
after the exercise and especially the
5! swim, he stated that he felt ever SC
| much better and that his nose was
! quite clear.
Charlie Doing Well.
c. K. Charlie is hard at work every
! day preparing for the race. He still
! drives his wagon but gets out on tho
! road for full hour every afternoon
| and his trainers state that he is round
ing into excellent shape.
! Charlie is not trying to lengthen his
! stride. He contents himself with thai
same dinky little pit-patter, but he
| can quicken it in a most ASTONISHING
| way and, with the added breathing
capacity that comes from training, hi
should be able to keep up a tremen
dous pace over a ten-mile course.
Abe Norton and McCandless ART
; hard at it. Both lads are natura1l,
fit as they neither smoke nor drink anC
they hive so much in the open air tha-
| all they need is a finishing edge t.
their condition to make them perfect
ly fit. There is much speculation il
High School circles as to which of tn,
boys will come in first and their friend
feel very confident that they will b,
one, two, one way or the other
Fixing Up the Track.
After tomorrow steps will be takel
by the management of the parl
to put the track in frst-class running
shape. The stanchions can be put III
at any time and this will probably
be done on Tuesday So that those wht
want to practise round the park cal
follow the exact course. The turn
will be slightly banked and the tract
! made as firm and easy for running a
possible.
