SPALDING PICKS !

GIANTS TO Win

Los ANGELES, Sept. IA. G.
Spalding, the daddy" of baseball,
who now makes. his home in San
Diego, passed through Los Angeles
today, enroute to the East to be on
hand when the worlds series be-
tween the New York Giants and the
Boston Red SoX is staged
The grand old man of the game
never misses a worlds series, and
this year he figures will be one OF
the greatest in the history of the
game
Mr.. Spalding said the Red SoN un
doubtedly have a great team, but he
believes that the experience of the
New York players will offset the
strong machinery of the Bostonians
the terrific strain which the players
have to undergo In. series of cham
pionship games is noticeable even
among the veteran players, and d
team composed of men who have
practically been immune from such
situation will feel the strain a deal
more than the Giants.

COLLEGE FOR BALL
PLAYERS THE PLAN

Baseball is probably the only pro-
fession today that lacks a training
college. This is to be remedied. Be-
fore next winter the big league game
viii have a college for players. The
idea first came to Charlie Orr, the
Iold-tme first baseman. Orr talked
the matter over with Frank J. Navin,
and the president of the Detroit club
Is now an enthusiastic supporter of
the scheme. President Navin, who in
tends taking the question up with 9TH
er club owners in the American
League at the earliest possible mo-
ment, thinks the plan will solve the
problem of locating stars at the min
imum expense. Thousands of. dollars
are spent every year hunting up re-
cruits and buying young players that
frequently turn out to be worthless.
At the college recruits from the
bushes would be trained for the major
leagues. Each spring, when the six
teen big league clubs go South to
train, small fortune is lost in the
wedding out of new players. Instead
of taking these youngsters to the vari-
Gus training camps in future, the idea
is to assemble the recruits at one cen
ter, forming practically baseball col

lege. Here experienced players would
show them how to play the game. 1t
is planned to have the faculty" con-
sist of veterans who have gained fame
on the diamond. There will be an ex-
pert for every position on the dia-
mond.
Manager Wolverton, who is here
with the Yankees; when asked if he
thought the plan feasible, said: Yes,
think the plan is very good one.
A college of that sort would do much
for baseball. Recruits trying to break
into the big leagues generally know
little about the real game. A player
may have the makings of a star pitch
er, and not know how to handle him
self. He needs to be developed, and
think that, with good instructors, a
school of this character would be very
valuable to the game"
Just where the college will be To-
Gated has not yet been decided. Carr
says he is sure of proper backing, and
just as soon as he gets money enough
he will purchase a tract of land and
begin operations. 1t is planned to es,
tablish a hotel near the winter quar-
tiers, and here magnates and managers
will be able to stay while watching
the students" at work

Modest Hero.

Congratulations and praise were
heaped upon the young swimmers
head by every speaker, and Duke
took the laudatory sentiments mod
estly. He gave a little talk at the
close of the luau, telling simply of
the Stockholm trip and incidents go
ing and coming, hardly touching on
his own championship race when he
beat the best the world could send
against him. s..
Il appreciate the interest Hawaii
has shown in me; certainly appre-
ciate the chance I was given, and it
was the help got here and from the
swimming instructor at Pennsylvania,
George KiSsler, that assisted me-" he
said. -.
w. T. Rawlins, president of the Hui
Nalu, was POSTMASTER, and a very eff
ficient one. During the evening Eli
Crawford, president of the Kameha-
meha Aquatic club, made a neat
speech in which he declared that few
as are the members of this club, which
is located at the other end of Homo
lulu's waterfront from the Hui NaIu
domain, the KamehamehaS will try to
be in every competition.
After the luau the guests scattered
over the lawn and Duke was sur
rounded by circle after circle of
friends anxious to hear more of his
trip.

Bowling interest Is greater than ever

Distinguished Men Laud
Duke kahanamOku At Luau
Worlds Champion Swimmer Welcomed Home at Feast Thai
Will Long Be Remembered Here-Bears High Honors
Won on the Mainland with Becoming Modesy

Duke KahanamOku, Jr., worlds
champion swimmer and modest Homo
lulu boy, was the guest of honor last
night at luau attended by an ex-
governor of Hawaii and president of
the republic, by the chief justice OF
the territorial supreme court, the del
egate to congress, the mayor of the
city and many prominent HonOlulans.
At the head of the table With Duke
and W. T. Rawlins, president of the
Hui Nalus, sat Judge S. B. Dole, Chief
Justice Robertson, Delegate Kuhio,
Mayor Fern, Col. Sam Parker, Judge
A. A. Wilder, John F. Soper. Lew G..
Henderson, Carl Widemann, and 9th
ers. Dukes father, Captain Kahana-
moku of the police force, sat in an
honOred place also.
The luau that welcomed home Ha-
waits great swimming champion was
held in a gaily-decorated and brightly
lighted pavilion erected in few
hours on the lawn of the kahanamo-
ku home near Waikiki beach. Here
gathered more than a hundred of
Dukes friends and acquaintance, in
vited by the Hui Nalu, the little club
for water sports which has grown in
year from fourteen to more than
hundred members. and which Dukes
exploits have made famous. And the
lusu was toothsome; the fish and poi
and sweet potatoes and other delica
cies disappeared as if by magic.
Meanwhile a quintet discOursed music
and pretty Hawaiian girls, friends of
Duke and his family, waited on the
diners.
Congratulations Poured In.
After the eating division Of the pro-
gram was completed, short speeches
of Congratulation for Duke were
made by Judge Dole, Judge Robert
son, Judge Wilder, Delegate Kuhio.
Collector COttriH, John T. McCrosson,
Col. Parker, Mayor Fern and others.
Col. Parker created great enthusiasm
by announcing that he will donate
500 toward a clubhouse for the Hui
Nalu or for any other purpose, con-
nected with Duke and his good work
that the Kahanamoku fund committee
may decide upon.
Judge Dole's speech, the first on
the program, set the keynote of the
talks made by all. Judge Dole de-
clared that Hawaii has reason to be
proud of Duke not only because he
won at Stockholm but because he has
carried himself so modestly, and be-
cause he has shown what clean living
and intelligent use of physical
strength will do in athletics The
venerable judge paid high tribute to
the proves of the Hawaiian athlete
and said that Dukes feats will inspire
many young men of all bloods here to
live Clearly and work for honest ath-
letic honors.

FIRST ENGLISH
SHOES RECEIVED
One Hundred Pair of Genuine
Foreign Kicks" Arrive in
Rock Island.

A shipment Of imported genuine
English shoes has been received in
Rock Island. One hundred pairs were
received by ]. p. Sexton of the Boston
Shoe company last Saturday, and
these are the product Of John NARROW

London, England. The NARROW family
has operated a shoe factory for over
300 years, the business being handed
down from generation to generation.
The importation of English shoes is
becoming more general with the re-
duction Of the duty In the last IA
months over $150,OO0,O0O worth Of
English shoes have been received in
this country from across the pond
Some months ago, American shoe man
ufactureTs became alarmed at the
steadily augmented importation Of
foreign shoes and in a meeting held
az Boston, sought to take steps TO pro-
tect themselves. An English shoe was
dissected, with a view TO finding flaws,
but at the conclusion OF the eXamina-
ton. the dealers we're forced to admit
that the foreign product was practic-
ally devoid Of imperfections and in
many ways superior to the home prod
net
English shoes, Of the variety receiv-
ed in Rock Island. are superior as TO
leather over the American product
owing 10 the fact that in the old coun-
try the leather is tanned in a natural
way. the process consuming a period
OF about 10 months. whereas in Amer

The various freak shoes. of the fat
