MAINLAND ATHLETES JUST CRAZY" ABOUT
KAHANAMOKU AND HIS PERFORMANCES

That American athletic associations
and American athletes of all descrip-
ton have gone wild over Duke Kahana-
moku's mainland performances is the
story brought back to Hawaii from
Chicago by A. Q. Marcallino. Through
the courtesy of E. G. Brown, formerly
of Honolulu, the Hawaii delegates to
the Chicago convention were extended
the house privileges of the Chicago
Athletic Club.
When the members of this club found
out that the delegates were from Ha-
wall and were personal friends of
"The Duke" they Immediately got in
touch with the boys and would talk
nothing but Kahanamoku and Kahana-
moku's work.
Duke having gone to Chicago a
stranger one would have imagined that
he would not have been very well re-
ceived especially after he defeated

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, July c.
Duke Kahanamoku, of Honolulu, mem
Der of the American team in the Olym-
pic games, today set a new world s rec
ord for 100 meters, hanging up a mark
of 81 25 seconds.
Hawaiian Duke Kahanamoku IS
smashing of the world s record yester
day in the hundred meter swim at
Stockholm, makes him a top notcher at
once and for all time. Hawaii has
never had any doubt as to Kahanamo-
ku's chance of winning this race in the
Olympic meet this year IL far away
Stockholm. Everybody here who has
followed Dukes career since he first
came into prominence only a short
time ago felt certain that this son of
the soil would carry the American
colors to victory when he competed
with the worlds foremost swimmers.
1t was only on August 10 of last year
that Kahanamoku astonished Hawaii
and the athletic world at large with his
phenomenal finish in the fifty yard
swim here in "a -5 seconds, which
beat Daniel's world record by 3-5 Sec
onds. American athletic authorities
would not believe the story when the
cable sent the news broadcast through
out the land. It couldn't be possible,
they said Af1idavits from this end Ger.
! tifying to the correctness of the time
and distance were of no avail. Duke
did not then belong to the A. A. U. and
that settled it. He broke no record
as far as recognized records were con-
cerned. The local athletes started in
real earnest to organize local branch
of the A. A. u, which was soon accom-,
plished.
Duke was sent on to the States and
what he did there, inexperienced in
tank swimming, stranger in strange
land, all Hawaii knows. He went up
time and again against the best swim
mers of the land and, though strang
er to tanks and corner turner's he easily
proved his superiority to the satisfac
ton of the officials in charge of the Sc
lection of the members which were to
constitute Ine American team aC INC
great Stockholm meet which was inaug
urated yesterday.
Ike made the 100.yard dash here in
So 2-5 seconds. The previous best world
record for the straightaway was one
minute fat made by Daniels and Scott
Leary jointly. The same day Duke
swan the 220-yard event in 2 minutes
and forty-two and two-ffths seconds,
only two seconds more than the world
record.
Duke is rather tall, even for a Ha-
waiian, stands six feet and two inches
and weighs 1873 pounds. He is now en-
tering his twenty-second year.
Duke uses his own stroke in swim
ming. During his mainland visit, pre-
pairing for Stockholm he was trained by
George Kisler, swimming instructor of
the University of Pennsylvania.

him an extremely handsome gold cup if
he succeeds in covering the one hundred
meter swim in minute fiat. Kahana-
molSu may take up the offer later.
The Hawaiian is not the only Ameri-
can who has covered himself with glory
in the great Olympiad. Craig, the
sprinter, who was picked to win the
two hundred meter race, won the one
hundred meter sprint yesterday in the
wonderfully fast time of ten and four
ftths seconds, tying the world IS record
for the distance. His race was a thing
of beauty to watch and he finished
going strong. Myers was second and
Lippincott of Philadelphia was third.
This was the third unrivaled Ameri-
can victory since the opening of the
games. Thorpe, the game little Ameri-
can runner and all-around athlete, won
tire difficulty pentathlon.
Kolehmainen, an entry from Finland,
who defeated the great Englishman
Scott in whirlwind finish, brought
the thousands of people that packed
the stadium to their feet yelling like
Indians

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, July Sow
ing to misunderstanding regarding the
semifnals in the hundred meter swim
ming races, America may lose what she
has already won through the efforts OF
Duke Kahanamollu, the wonderful
swimmer from Honolulu. The misun-
derstanding appears to have arisen over
the dates of the semifnals. Efforts are
being made to straighten matters out
and it is possible that they will be sue
cessful.
Duke himself has carried the the city
and its thousands of visitors by storm.
He is easily the most popular of the
swarms of athletes here from all over
the world. His work in the water is
appreciated here most thoroughly and
he is being asked out as if he were a
social lion.
The president of the British Life
Saving Society yesterday visited him at
his quarters ON the Finland, and offered

some of the best men at the swimming
game, men who were also members of
the Chicago Athletic Club. Such was
not the case, however, and Duke was
well received and entertained by them
Every one spoken to at the time was
of the opinion that Duke would not
only prove to be the best swimmer in
America, but that it would be only a
matter of time before he would make
a world mark. The boys predicted that
Duke would establish record of sixty
two fiat for the hundred meter event.
This particular event was actually won
by Duke Saturday at Stockholm in six
ty-two and two.fifths which proves
that the Chicago prediction was not SO
very far off after all.
just because the delegates were from
Hawaii and also because they were
personal friend of the champion world
swimmer the local boys, from the Gov
ernor down, were entertained at swell
dinner at the club.
