DUKES WORK

IS A PUZZLE
America the Winner, but Homo

Swimming News

With the above score OF the five lead
ing contestants, the sixth Olympic
games closed at Stockholm yesterday.
The victorious American team is sched-
uled To sail for home today, but wheth-
er the athletes will come direct. or
whether they will return via Germany
and England, giving exhibitions there,
is not known here.
Henolulans are puzzling over the
exact status Of Duke Kahanampku
Since the cable received here some days
ago announcing that the 1O0-meter race
had been ''reswum." there hasn't been
a. word of definite news as TO the Island
Swimmer. tttsk
II looks as though there had been a
mix-up In the cables, and that when
the King of Sweden asked Duke to the
royal box IL was TO congratulate him
on having won the final OF the 100
meter event This sounds more rea-
sonbie. on Its face, for surely such an
important event as the swimming sprint
would not have been left out of the
Associated Press dispatches.
Also, IL would seem that the 500
meter relay swimming race won by
qualifying heat. as the dispatches yes
terday stated that America took Sec
ond to Australia in this event These
points will not be definitely decided
until the mainland papers bring full
accounts OF the Stockholm sports.
Apparently the other countries came
up with a rush. and Americas final
victory was much closer than was ex-
-pected about the middle of the week.

WELL DRILLING.

Investigation of the fact that most
of the deep drill holes for wells in

the drills With which they were made
were influenced by magnetism.

From the cable accounts 1t would
seem that Macarthur came very near
duplicating the unfortunate perform
ance of Dorando Pietri. who. in the
last international marathon race,
wilted with victory in sight, and was
disqualified thanks to the over-zeal-
Gus English judges. who tried to heat
the American out by yanking the Ital-
ian over the line. The dispatches say
that McAmhur reached the finish, and
then tainted, being caught as he fell
over the line. It's a safe bet, though
that his friends saw to 1t that no one
lent him a helping hand before the
finishing post was reached. for the
n. LUZ Hayes controversy must still
be fresh in the minds of all athletes
when matters marathon are mention
ed.
McArthur's time, z hours, SO min

Marathon race has varied in length
at the different Olympic games. from
.26 miles at Athens in 1895 TO %
miles, SS5 yards in England four
years ago. This year the distance
was 10000 meters, which figures
about $3.50 miles. This is the fast
est Olympic marathon to date.

Americans as a rule, have a lofty
disregard for the sabiiities es foreign
athletes. That is, the stay-at-home

actually. competed against the best

THE TRUTH ABOUT SPORT
IS NEVER A KNOCK
THE SPORTING EDITOR SAYS,
SEIZE, ABOUT AS FOLLOWS:

~ ABLE dispatches received here,
announcing the win OF Kenneth
IL Macarthur in the Olympic mara
thon were misleading, in that
they gave the impression that the
South African was rank outsider,
not conceded chance by even his
own countrymen. AS a matter OF fact,
lust the reverse was the case. and
form students expected to see the Ian
ky Transvaal policeman finish very
near the head of the column.
Macarthur has an unbeaten record
in the FIVE principal Marathon races
held in Transyaal. Natal and Cape
Colony during the past four years.
and within the same period has esteo.
lished two separate records for tpF
distance. His best Marathon time =
(S6 miles SS5 yards) 2 hours 40 min
utes So 1-5 seconds.
The state of the South African
roads makes this much better than y
reads on paper and Macarthur islpos-
sfbly the best Marathon runner, anna
teur or professional, in the empire OF
Great Britain.

ANSWERS

Sporting Editor, Honolulu Star-Bu
letin, Sir:
Will you kindly settle a discussion
regarding an incident during the prog
ress ii ball game. The gist of the
argun mt is
A player is on second base, and an
other is on third. A double steal is
attempted, but the player who left
third is unable to reach the plate An
attempt is made to throw him out. but
during the exchange of the ball in
said attempt the player from second
runs down and touches third. There
is a tumble and the player gets safely
back to third, and the player who ran
from second gets safely back to his
original base.
A says the player that occupied
third base originally is out for the rea-
son that the player running from sec
ond and touching third forced him.
B claims that neither player was
out, because it was not a force and it
would have been necessary to touch
either player with the ball.
c argues that after the player who
ran from second touched third, all
that was necessary was for the catch
er to touch home plate and the player
who tried to steal home would be out

Blake's Last Fight
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

T was 255 years agO-April is, 1857
that Robert Blake, the famous
4 English admiral, fought his last
battle and won his last and most con-
spicuOus victory.
The grim old sea fighter learned that
the Plate fleet lay at anchor in the
bay OF Santa Cruz in the island Of
Teneriffe. and. though a very sick
man at the time. he at once shaped his
course for the splendid quarry
The position was one OF the strOn-
Eest in the world. Powerful forts com
manded the harbOr from every point
and under the main battery lay the
fleet OF is ships drawn up IN the
form Of q crescent. But nothing could
scare Blake. and upon reaching santa
Cruz he ordered his lieutenants to en-
ter the bay and fall upon the enemy
Hot brOadsides were poured stimuli
taneOusly into the forts and fleet, and
IN an amazingly short time nothing
was left but ruined walls and the
chsrred fragments Of the burnt ships.
Just as the JOB was nicely finished the
wind, which bad been blowing hard
straight into the bay. changed and car
ried the victor out TO sea.
The whole action, we are told. was
so incredible that those who knew the
place wondered that any sober man,
no matter how courageous, should ever
have undertaken It. Blake himself. used
as he was TO wonderful triumps, could
hardly believe what he had done. and
as for the Spaniards, they swore, for
100 years or more afterward. that dew
lis and not men had sWOOped down on
them on that memorable April morn
ing, 1851
Blakes extraordinary triumph made
CromWeIl's heart bound for joy The
highly elated old protector sent the
admiral a personal letter OF thanks
and congratulatiOn, I'm which he ap-
preached the nearest to eloquence that
he was ever known to do in the whole
course Of his life. Parliament also gave
Blake thanks, accompanied by a dia-
mond ring that was equal in value TO
a kings ransom
Four months after his great victory
at Santa Cruz the uncomfortable old
sallor-captain was dead Blake

TOM LEA is THE
INTERVIEWED ONE
This Time 1t Is Not "Old
Kel, " but the Young
Anti-ring General.

An epidemic of FL PasO interviews
has broken out among the eastern news
papers and magazines. First it was
mayor Kelly's ~Old KeI' story which
attracted much local attention The
mayor had hardly finished denying the
interview when PearsOn's appeared for
May. In it was an interview with the
mayors political enemy, but personal
friend. Tom Lea. Parsons is a Hearst
owned magazine. which, in concert with
the Hearst string of papers. is boost
ing the Hon William Randolph's lone
chance for the presidential nomination.
Under the title of Who for Hearst and
Why" Judge Tom and his friends read
the following:
From Tom Lea, FL PasO, Texas:
~When YOU are engaged in g bitter
fight to put an end to a corrupt political
ring, as we are trying to do i'm FL Paso,
YOU have no time to draw fine distinc-
tiOns and you set men down on either
one side or the other of a broad line.
With us Hearst is on the right side. So
is Wilson, and, as things stand, he has
our support
Commenting on his interview, the
magazine says:
Judge Tom Lea took up a hard fight
when he set out to clean up the politics
of FL PasO. The ring was as complete
as an Abe Ruef or a Boss Cox could
desire. 1t took in all FL Paso and had
the strongest business support. But that
has not stopped Judge Lea. Tt simply
brought out his fighting qualities. He
has shown what can be done by consist
ent and fearless attacks. and all the
people of western Texas are now begin
ming to watch his lead. FL Paso used
to be one of the toughest towns in the
United States, but Tom Lea on the
bench and the support of one of the few
real newspapers in Texas made it over
into clean. progressive American com
slunity. What rottenness Is left is due
to the ring and Tom Lea does not in
tend to let up on it until he sends it
along with the gamblers and crooks who

used to flourish under its protection.
Lea is a Missourian by birth, but a Tex
an by disposition
In the first place, Lea SAYS he 10 for
Champ Clark and not for Wilson, and
most decidedly not for Hearst.

vate in the local anti-ring fight, ] can
not help feeling. after reading the Pear
son article, much as mayor Kelly did
when he read the article about Old hel

in an eastern paper Tom said Tom
