BOAT CLUBS TO
MEET IN MANY
CONTESTS
HeaIan;s Challenge MyrtIes to
Baseball, Tennis, Soccer,
Bowling and HandbaII-May
Spin Tops, Too

Those Old rivals the Healanis and
Myrtles may have forgotten how to Sit
in boat by next season. Or. at
least, they may have lost interest in
rowing as a sport, being weanSd away
from slide and oar by the delights of
dry land pastimes.
z II all started with the baseball game
In which the Healanis beat the Ala
media crew a few days ago. This gave
the Blue and White the idea that they
could do other things besides row, SO
they came out with challenge to the
naughty Myrtles for ball game. The
ink on the challenge was hardly dry
before Captain Frank Bechert of the
MyrtIes was "knockin' at the do" Of
fering to play for chalk, money or
marbles.
Marbles suggested still other posi-
bilities In the line of unexplored sport
fields, so the Healanis Immediately sat
down with Spalding's Athletic Library
and Hoyle, and went over the pages
to find out what other games existed
besides rowing, baseball and marbles.
fhis morning A. T. Longley, the Hea-
laniG otf1cial challenger, rang I'D the
sporting editor.
Hello said Jack. Nov, about
these games that the Myrtle fellows
think they can play. Just say that
we are ready to give 'em a ball game
next Saturday, the 18th; a soccer game
on Saturday. the 18th; a bowling
match whenever they feel like II, and
some tennis whenever they can get
team together; and we'd like to take
them on at handball."' ..,...- &
rs. that all you can do? Don't you
want to try something else while you
are about it?' Longley was asked. j
D., We'll, came the answer, we've got
some pretty classy top spinners, and
our marble shooters are hard as nails
and ready to 60 the full distance any
time. Let the Myrtles 60 over the
list and think something up. Well
meet them more than half way
One stipulation Is made by the He
aianis, and that IL that only members.
Of both clubs In good standing at this,
time be SLOWED TO play in any OF the

Suicide OF Wife Forecasts The
End OF Champion Jack Johnson

to get over the tragedy Losing your
pal Is p blow that no one can forget
Some may say that It IL good thing
for the strange combination to be
broken up. Perhaps this may be
true. But that does not alter the
fact that a human being has been sep
arated from his pal, and when you
stop to consider what this means even
among poor dumb animals 1t looks as
IL Jack Johnson's days are over as q
fighter.
While the majority OF persons who
read Of the suicide Of Mrs. Johnson
look upon it as good thing for the
community, there are others who take
a charitable view of 1t and agree with
the mother of the dead woman that
Mrs. Johnson was insane. How any
one in her right mind could wilfully
make such a sacrifice az this woman
Is beyond reason. 1t Is regarded by
many as black mark against q wo-
man, no matter how good or bad she
may be, to marry prizefighter, but
for a white woman to tie herself up
for life. with one OF the opposite race
is something that can not be explain
ed by even those who have made a
deep study Of such subjects. Johnson
was undoubtedly good to the woman
and spent d fortune on her to bring
about happiness for her, but she died
a lonesome woman and left Jack
Johnson a lonesome man. The great
est loss a man can suffer Is to lose
his pal, and his true pal is always his
wife, ...

OAHU LEAGUE STANDING.
TOMORROW'S GAMES.
Hawaii's VS.. J. A. C.s.
Stars VS. Asahis.

Although the schedule for the
Oahu League calls for the above ar
rangement of games, there's a chance
that at the last moment there will be
& substitution. This is owing to the
fact that the Second Infantry is to
be within striking distance of Homo.
lulu tomorrow, and that the baseball
team Of the regiment is more than
anxious to get a crack at one of the
league teams. It's a chance that
doesn't come around very often, and
strong effort is being made to card
the game as a special feature.
Sometime this afternoon Manager
Marcallino of the Oahu League will
have a final phone conference with
Lieutenant Rose. baseball officer OF
the Second, and if it is any way pos
sible the Portuguese will be pressed
into service to play the soldiers. This
will mean the postponement of the
Star-Asahi game. which will suit the
former team right down to the
ground
Speaking of the desired game with
g league team, Lieutenant Rose said
to the sporting editor:
The regiment is now on a hike,
and as we will be camped in the vi
cinity of Shafter Saturday night, it
will be an easy matter to get the ball
team into Honolulu for a Sunday
game. While the Second isn't lead
ing the Schofield Barracks League, ii
can put up a pretty fair brand of ball
and everyone connected, with army
baseball is anxious to get a line on
the comparative strength of the sol
der and civilian teams. We are hop,
ing that after the Oahu League sea
son closes a special series can be ar.
ranged between the winners and the
winners in the post series. A game
now would be in the nature of a try.
cut, and should provide first-class
sport.

When Mrs Eta Johnson, the white
wife of Champion Jack Johnson, fired

she not only ended her own life, but
also, wrecked that of her negro 5hus-

good and let the others fight 1t out for
the title. Al
At the inquest Johnson declared that
his wife was temporarily insane when
she shot herself, and that he himself
had suffered from anervous breakdown
after the Jeffries fight from the heat
and worry In fact, the strain was so
great that, according to Johnson's own
words, he lost his noodle and attempt
ed to kill himself, as his wife had
done on several occasions before she
succeeded in Chicago. =.
''Pve lost good pal, and she Is the
only one that. love-" Johnson cried
as he grasped the hand of his wife in
the Chicago hospital, with the doctors
working over her, trying to strengthen
the last thread of life. To many these
words do not mean anything, but IL
Johnson really loved the poor soul
who sacrificed her life for him then Ii

end made to talk of his wonderful ca,
reer, which is as brilliant as it has
been short. Up until August of last
year Duke had never participated in
any sort of swimming competition
and contented himself with riding the
surf in the vicinity of his native Ho-
nolulu.
Showed Speed. .:
He was prevailed upon to enter
some local home event and immedi-
ately set his 1nid-Pacific part of the
world afire. When the time came
for the preliminary work for the
Olympic games, Duke was sent over
to this country, and In the tryouts at
Pittsburg satisfied the authorities
that he was possessed of enough
merit to warrant sending him across
to the European shore. That his Sc
lection. was a wise one is best at
tested by the records for the games.
The dusky adopted son of Uncle Sam
before he had been on the ground
three days had the thousands OF spec
tators, as well as athletes from every
civilized country in the world, at his
feet, and, modest like, stepped over
them as if he had had pushed to con.
summation the most ordinary task in
the world.
Duke-no one ever attempts to pro
nounce the last name-judged even
from an Aryan viewpoint of physical
pulchritude, borders on perfection. In

but tall, graceful specimen, formed
in an ideal mood. When in the water

In just such a way as to convey a
hint of their potency. There is none
of that overdevelopment of a certain
set of muscles and the complimentary
weakness of another set, but an all
round harmonical uphuilding, that
renders his weight, according to ali
appearances, in perfect proportion to
his height.
Uses Crawl Stroke.
Duke uses the crawl stroke" almost
exclusively. He says he finds that
with it the amount of power with the
minimum amount of work is obtained.
He has not much regard for any other
method when there is any real work
to be done, although at times he uses
the "trudgeon" and number of other
systems of similar ilk. The Duke has
a way of using his feet altogether
new to this part of the globe. Instead
of kicking them like most swimmers
in an effort to see how much water
they can disturb, the Hawaiian Adonis
moves them in a sort of propeller
fashion. which, as he demonstrated

PREPARING FOR
1916 OLYMPICS

Germany expects to Guido the world
in the Olympic games in 1916. 1t will
have a stadium almost as big as that
of Athens, where the first revivalwas
held in 1896, and the. field proper is
likely to be twice the size of that at
Stockholm.
The place has been picked and the
next Olympic games will be held at
Grunewald, suburb of Berlin, about
ten kilmetSrs from the center of the
city. The place is. perhaps, not the
most accessible in the world, but the
beauty of the location will make up
for many other shortcomings.
The most noticeable feature in
which it will differ from the stadium
at Shepherds Bush, London, Is that
the swimming tank will not be inside
the running tracks, but in the line of
the encircling building. This is in
tended to give the stadium a more
unbroken appearance. The inside
track of the two that encircle the
German Stadium is for running and
will be 400 meters (437 yards) long,
the outer one is for cycle races and
will be 666 2-3 meters (729 yards) in
length.
About twenty small bedrooms will
be provided for the use of those who
do their training either so early in
the morning or so late at night that
they do not wish to have to make the
journey from or to the city. The
stadium will seat about $4,000 and
there will also be standing room for
10000 The seats will be open to the
sky.-St. Louis Republic.
