Auwe! auwe! the Pride of Hawaii
was beaten fairly and squarely by
Soldier King yesterday. There was
no doubt about the result of the
race from the second mile on to the
finish. The best man won, and he
ran like thoroughbred every inch
of the long journey.
King a Machine.
King in action Is like a machine.
and he gave the people of Hawaii
some idea OF how the worlds best
runners perform on the mainland.
His style is perfect, and he ran a
beautiful race right through.
When four miles and two laps had
been covered, King overlapped Kaoo,
and the soldiers supporters yelled
themselves hoaiise. King then
dropped in behind Kaoo, and ran
along at an easy rate of speed, At
the beginning of the fifth lap in the
fifth mile. King shot out ahead and
Kaoo answered the challenge In
game fashion.
King finished the five miles with
one lap to the good-and running
easy. Kaoo sprinted when he had
done four laps over the FIVE miles
and cheers went up from the Hawai-
ian's supporters. 49,.
Claim Foul. .,..
Six miles were thrown behind by
King in 36:16, and he was then
rapidly overhauling Kaoo for the
second time. The soldier got close
behind Kaoo at two laps over the
six miles, and as he dashed ahead
of the Hawaiian yell went up from
KaOo's hackers. They claimed, first
of all, that King had trodden on
Kaoo's foot, but as King was run
ming in shoes that had no spikes,
there was nothing to that complaint
As matter OF fact, Kaoo was just
TOUCHED. King ran an absolutely
square and fair race and no foul wal
committed. II King had chosen ia
do SO, he could have cut out the
pace 80 fast in the first few miles
that Kaoo would have had no chance
at all, Kaoo came to stop when
the foul was claimed, but resumed
running shortly afterwards.
TO dispose Or the wild rumors
that went the rounds last, night, 1t
may be stated that after the race
Kaoo and his managers told the
three judges that they did not wish
to enter any protest, and that there
was no doubt that the better man
had won. The old Waialua Horse
was satisfied that he had no chance
of beating King over fifteen miles
Big Crowd Present.
There was a great crowd present,
and the grandstand and bleachers
were absolutely full. The overflow
found its way around the sides of the
ground, and many hundreds were
seated on the benches. Automobiles
and carriages were ranged at the
Eva side OF the ground, and, taking
1t altogether. 1t was fine sight
Although most people lost through
Kaoo's defeat, there was no kicking
when the Judges gave sesir decision
There was absolutely no excuse for
Kaoo's defeat, except that King was
too good fbr the Hawaiian over the
a,s'"noe' 9l;l,,ii O.
The. men. we're, called together BY
the judges and a'short' consultation
took place. King said that he didn'i
care who had the inside running
Kaoo answered "Likepu." It wal
agreed that II either man wished to
he could get OFF the track and be
rubbed down. Passing on the In
side, unless there was plenty Of
room, was barred, and whichever
runner took the lead had to go OIL
the outside.
Of!
At 2:50 the men toed the mark
and the Smarter quickly got then
away. Kaoo at once took the lead
with King stride behind him. The
first lap six to the mile-was cut
| out in 60 seconds. The second la
