American ideas and European
ideas with regard to giving handicaps
in tennis tournaments are distinctly
different-in fact, European tourna-
nients 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. NewpOrts 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 formality 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 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 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 a handicap.
Abroad the feeling is just the other
way around.

l minute / As seconds for the 10O
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, 10 yards straightaway,
$50 yards with two turns and 200
yards with three turns.

SUNDAY GAME
TO MONTREAL.

Although defeated in the Sunday
game at Montreal, which brought on
their heads the censure of their fell
low countrymen in Canada the All
Chinese made good showing. ac-
cording to the newspapers. It viii be
remembered that the Montreal Chi.
nese wouldn't stand for baseball on
the Sabbath, reading the Honolulu Ce-
lestials out OF good standing with
bell, book and candle.
Here Is what the Montreal Gazette
has to say Of the game itself, and
about the triAble the local boys had
in gaining admit &nce to the country:
Two thousand people we're attract
ed TO the National grounds yesterday
to see the Chinese students from Ha-
wall exhibit their skill In the modern
game of baseball.
Although beaten by q margin of
eight runs the Orientals showed a
proficiency that surprised most OF
those who saw them. Baseball is
sbout the last thing expected from
a Chinaman, but there is a long stage
of development from the type of
Oriental found in the lanndries of
Montreal and the boys from Hawaii.
The students, while understood, hand
led themselves like real athletes, be-
ing quick, graceful and accurate in
their movements.
For three innings the Chinese play
ers led the Royals and at the end Of
the fourth they were on even terms.
Then they faded through the weak
ness of their pitchers, who gave ten
bases on balls and hit three men dur
ing the game. =
When the ball became slippery in
the rain the Chinese players were
not able to work nearly as well as
during the earlier part Of the game.
President Lichtenhein did not get
the Chinese team into Canada with
out considerable difficulty. When he
for the game the immigra-
ton law providing for head tax Of
$500 was forgotten. There were
twelve in the party, and $4,000 would
have made the game an expensive at
traction. Finally the players were
brought in bonded guarantee being
given the authorities at Ottawa.
The students have been touring the
United States since April, and are
returning soon to Hawaii.

"CORKED BATS

The "corked bat" controversy oil

again, this time from the highest

EUROPEAN STYLE Of TENNIS
| MAKES GAME more 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 a believer
of aristocracy; America in democ-

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,

crowd the galleries about any Of the
local tanks to their full seating Ca
pacity.
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. U.
championships he jumped from OBJ
security to world fame in 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 a

any number of the fans and critics
who are of the opinion that he could
defeat Palzer in return match.
In speaking of the big fellows

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
