''CORKED BATS
HAVE BOBBED
UP AGAIN
This Time Decision Favoring
Eva Comes from Highest
Baseball Tribunal

The "corked bat" controversy of
the Plantation League has bobbed up
again, this time from the highest
baseball tribunal in the country-the
National Commission. Now that
Eva has the backing of this author,
ity, the protest will likely be revived,
and the baseball lawyers will have q
chance to do some more "argifying. 4"
Ewa's protest that the Waianae
team used "corked" bats in the game
of June 8, was sustained by the
league board of arbitration, but that
body said it had no authority to act
Then, at a meeting of the Plantation
League, held June 80, the matter was
brought up before the meeting, but
was killed by vote of three to one
against the Eva team.
Believing this an injustice, the Eva
baseball manager has communicated
with the National Baseball Commits
sioners of Cincinnati for their deci.
sion, forwarding all data in connec-
Iion with the dispute in question
The Eva team still has two legs on
the cup, the Aieas one, and the Waia-
naes one.
Following Is the letter from the
National Commissions:
j. A. Hattie, ESQ.,, Secretary, Oahu

Dear Sir: Relative to the contro-
versy in the Oahu Baseball League,
have to advise you that it is the
duty of the umpire to strictly enforce
Rule 10 and every other provision of
the code of rules, and, in my judg-
ment, IL the directors of that League
are convinced by the evidence that
illegal bats were used by the Waia.

American ideas and European
ideas with regard to giving handicaps
in tennis tournaments are distinctly
different-in fact, European tOurna-
ments differ in almost every detail
from the meets held in the United
States. In the first place, on the 9TH
er side only players of the first rank
compete in the important champion
ships. Newport's first few rounds
each year are riddled with ridiculous
matches, in which players who have
absolutely no chance to gain the ma
tiOnal honors compete against high
ranking players and force the latter
to go through the Formally of beat
ing them in love sets, or Whereabouts.
Most of the state championships and
sectional meets here are also long
drawn-out affairs, because many enter
them just for fun and practice. In
European tournaments, however, the
entry is usually much smaller and
of much higher class as a whole
The average European seems to
have great respect and awe for the
really great tennis expert, and he
thinks it would be an insult to pit
himself against a top-notcher. AL
most all tournaments abroad are,
therefore, divided into Glass A and
Glass B, and in the former only ia
nous players enter. In the latter
the second-raters and amateurs meet.
1t is also customary to have at nearly
every big foreign meet handicap
event. Americans are ticklish over
accepting handicaps from opponents.
They would rather be beaten on even
terms than to win with handicap.
Abroad the feeling is just the other

duke And HEALY
TO Swim IN
FRISCO

A CCORDING to press dispatches,
"a Duke Kahamanoku and Cecil
Healy, the Australian swimmer,
will cross the Pacific at about
the same time, which helps along the
plan of having a swimming meeting
here in which the local cracks and
the Australians could match strokes.
San Francisco is arranging for an
event of the sort, with Duke as the
stellar attraction, according to the
following story by William Unmack,
in the San Francisco Call of recent
date
The ARTICLE says:
1t it more than probable that
swimming enthusiasts of this CITY
will be enabled to see two of the
greatest swimmers of the world in
action in local tanks about October,
when Duke" kahanamoku, the
speed wizard from Honolulu, and
Cecil Healy, the Australian champion
arrive here on their way to their re-
spective homes.
HcaIy Coming.
Word was received in the city yes
terday from Healey to thee effect that
he will visit this country on his way
to Australian, and that San Fran
cisco will probably be on his timer
airy. The Hawaiian marvel also will
be here at the same time, and a
race between these two world fam
GUS water dogs-both prize winners
Of hn 1JT icH a
shrould be an attraction that would
crowd the galleries about any Of the
local tanks to their full seating Ca
Eacity.
Kahanamoku is the marvel of the
present century in the swimming
world. Down in the islands he was
recognized as a wonder a year ago
and he established American records
for both the 100 and 220 yards events.
The times announced, coming as
they did from a then unknown per
former, were not taken seriously by
the swimming public of the world.
However, when the islander went
East and competed in the A. A. L.
championships he jumped from OBJ
security to world fame in a night. He
showed all the earmarks of the speed
burner that he had been said to be
by the officials from the islands, and
besides that he swan the 100 in
worlds record time.
Duke Keeps "Doin' It"
Going to Stockholm, he again GRE
ated a sensation by establishing a
worlds record for the 100 meters in
l minute 2 4-5 seconds. Not salts
fled with that, last Sunday, in Ber-
lin, he beat the German cracks and
again reduced the worlds record to

Wells record in this country was
one win and one lose, but he made a
biz. hit In both, battles. and there are
any number of the fans and critics
who are of the opinion that he could
defeat Palzer in a return match.
In speaking of the big, fellows
class, Tad and Bob Edgren gave him
a great send-off. The former said in
his column that Wells was the most
promising of all the "white-hopes" In
this country, while Edgren handed
him the following little notice after
his contest with Tom Kennedy, whom
he stopped in eight rounds in New
York the other night:
Wells is the cleverent heavyweight
in the world-cleverest, perhaps, ever
seen in a Queensbury ring. He does
things no other heavyweight has done
in many years. He brings out new
blows never seen before. He has the
speed and cleverness of crack feath-
erweight of lightweight. If he were
snail, he'd be at least the equal of a
Packy Mcfarland. Only one thing
pionship, and that is endurance. His
hackers say that he feels the hot
weather, and that when it is cooler he
will fight and distance without show
ing a sign of firing. If this is true,
he'll have a chance with any heavy
weight in the game"

il both can play up to form. and get
along well as a combination. they look
formidable. Walter Dillingham; and

1 minute l As seconds for the 100
meters.
When in the East Kahanamoku was
entertained in royal style by the big
New York Athletic club, the Irish
American Athletic club and various
big clubs in Philadelphia, Pittsburg
and Boston, and in all these places he
made new records for the respective
tanks in which he swan.
The new Olympic club of this city
has the finest and longest tank in
this country. 1t is the ideal tank for
the establishment of records, and If
the winged o club can arrange a
meeting between Kahanamoku and
Healy there is every probability that
the first worlds record for the Olym-
pic club tank will be made by either
one of these men.
Healy has been in the limelight for
three or four years past and is a
wonderful swimmer. At the present
time he holds the following worlds
records: One hundred yards with
one turn, ITO yards straightaway,
$50 yards with two turns and 200
yards with three turns.

EUROPEAN STYLE OF Tennis
MAKES GAME N ORE INTERESTING

A foreign player thinks it is pre-
sumptuous on his part to waste the
time of a man who can beat him with
ease. If the better man gives him a
handicap he figures that the match
will have interest. 1t is certain, at
least, that the average European tour
nament is much more fascinating for
spectators from start to finish than
American meets. The average Amer
lean tournament is usually only worth
watching toward the semi-finals, or
when now and then two cracks meet
in earlier brackets. The European
tourney, however, is practically all
star matches, since weak players are
scarcely ever seen in the draw. The
whole thing is really a matter of the
difference in attitude between Amer
lea and Europe Europe is believer
of aristocracy; America in democ-
