of the canine to drop a pocketbook

TRIED TO keep
DUKE OUT OF II

At last the mystery over the 100
meter swim at Stockholm, in which
Duke Kahanamoku and the other
American representatives were mixed
up, has been cleared. The mainland
papers bring the news that Duke, Nc
Gillivray and HusZagh, who repre-
sented the United States in the event,
were asleep on the deep when the
smi-final heat was swum, tucked COM
fortably in their hunks aboard the
Finland, in the belief that the race
was scheduled for the following day.
Dukes splendid work in the prelim-
mary heats and his unaffected manner
made him a popular hero at Stock
holm. In the mass of news culled
from the Olympic games, the swim
ming was not featured as it would
have been If it had been a detached
event and Dukes feat of smashing
two worlds records in a single day
was not given the newspaper promi-
nenee that it would have commanded
ordinarily. From all accounts, though,
the people on the spot made much of
the Hawaiian speed marvel.
The following clippings from the
San Francisco Chronicle of July and
s. tell of Dukes doings:
Germany Protests.
The seminal heats of the 100 meters
swimming proved a fiasco, as the
Americans, McGillivray, Huszagh and
Kahanamoku. who had qualified bY
winning their heats in the previous
round, remained on the steamer Fin
land in the belief that the event was to
be contested Monday Some of the COM
petitors protested against the semi
finals being held, saying that they
would be valuless' without the three
fastest competitors. The round, how
ever, was completed.
Healy of Australia won the first
heat in minute 5 3-5 seconds, Bret
ting of Germany swan over in the sec
ord heat in l minute 4 3-5 seconds.
