OU7RIGGER CLUB &
FOR CLEAN SPORT
MEMBERS WILL STICK
TO THE SLOGAN
Everything Il Booming Along at the
Beach = Musical Members Are
Getting Up Show.

For years to come amateur sports
In Honolulu will probably have cause
to speak respectfully Of John A. Nc
Candless and the splendid stand he
took for the cause at the Outrigger
meeting. Already the words Of Nc
Candless are bearing fruit, down at
Waikiki the tide is turning to sport
for sports sake in the surf, the Hus-
tace boys will never again take the
tourist out, save as q courtesy, and
the Outrigger Club has no more
valued and unobtruslve :. members
than these Hustace boys.
There has been rebellion, too, on
the part Of some Of the mauka boys
who have been learning to paddle
with the expectation OF turning their
accomplishment to profit. They have
come out openly against the few who
still vigorously hold out for padding
for profit.
There are perhaps in the Outrig-
ger Club dozen or less boys who
paddle for profit. Some OF these be-
lieve as firmly as does Mr. McCand-
less that the pay paddler should have
no right to vote or hold ONCE. as his
interests must necessarily be biased
when u comes to the management
Of an amateur canoe club.
The boys generally have come to
see the danger Mr.. McCandless 90
truthfully and graphically pointed
out-4that pay paddlers allowed to
vote must necessarily form a hui
among themselves and night for con-
troll. and until they did gain CON
troll there would be constant rum
ming tight and dissension instead Of
peace and progress along the ,lines on
which the club was organised. =
John, A. Mccandisss' and the ma.
ljority Of the Outrigger members have
sounded the note Of reform in anna
teur Sports in Honolulu, they have
been promised the support of other
boating clubs that have had their
troubles with the semi-prof essional
,cliques, and 1t Is to be hoped that
every true lover of sports for health
and pleasure will help the new move-
ment along. Success to McCandless,
clean sports, and the Outrigger Club.
0utrigger Notes.
There is new life at the Outrigger
Club, and much OF 1t is among the
older members. George Osborne was
out In canoe yesterday learning to
steer. A number Of the middle-aged
members have begun coming down.
and arrangements are being made
to have all who wish to learn. taught
to steer canoes through the breakers.
All the canoes. large and small,
are now in commission, and dozen
lsurfboards will be made by the club
carpenter for members who have nc
boards. THIS has been a crying need
for a long time. The boys, too, are
getting busy. new canoe crews are
being organized, and 1t Is expected
that in the near future the club will
have at least three races and fire.
