New York cbrres pendent who accom-
panied the American team to Stock
holm,)
It'is seldom indeed that a crowd of
athletic enthusiasts gets excited over
a shotputting competition, but this
unusual occurrence was witnessed in
the stadium when highlander, Fin
lands great weight-tosser, all but lick
ed the Americans, Ralph Rose and Pat
Mcdonald. From the very first thet e
three showed marked superiority
over the rest of the field, and it was
only QUESTION of how far they would
beat the others in competition.
The interest in the competition from
the spectators, viewpoint was t."reas-
ed tenfold by novel arrangement by
which the onlookers were able to Keep
tats on the work of the different men
in the competition. Each competitor
wore a colored sash about his waist,
and the best put of each was marked
with a little flag of corresponding
color. The crowd grabbed this method
OF keeping track of who was ahe2d in
hg time, and because of this fact the
competition was probably the most eX-
citing field event ever contested Vt
any Oylmpiad of modern times.
The management Of the Stock
holm games kept the crowd in touch
with every jump, vault, put or throw
that was made in the Stadium during
the entire meet-somethine that has
never been done before in the history
of international meetings.
The first few puts in the 'twO-hand"
shot made the event look like cay
picking for the Americans. Nicklandnr,
the Finn. was as nervous as a school
girl and he could not get his pTiS OUT
within two feet of his best record.
Rose and Mcdonald led by a comfort
able margin up to the final round of
three throws apiece With all of the
right-hand put out of the way the
score stood: Rose. 1923 meters, Nc
Donald. 1903, and highlander, 1876.
Finn Takes Lead.
On his very first left-hand effort in
the finals the Finn laid ont beauty

TWO GOLFING
EVENTS SUNDAY

Two goIfing events are on the Cdr
endar for Sunday, but it seems likely
that neither will interfere with TIE
other to any marked extent. At Ha-
leiwa a DOGGY handicap will be coz
tested, for a trophy put UP by the
hotel management, while on the Coun-
try Club course a medal play compe-
tition will be decided.
A number Of local golfers have sig
nitied their intention of taking part
in the Haleiwa. event. but they are
not men who have been playing regu-
larly in the Country Club tourna-
ments, so there is no prospect of thin
ming the entry list to any great
degree. Haleiwa will get a fair-sized
delegation of golfers from Schofield
Barracks, practically every club
swinger in the post having accepted
the invitation to come down and play
the sporty seaside course. Then there

ing touches are being put on the
players. and when Prince Kuhio

fashion, really good contest should
be on.
The soldiers are faVorites to land
the long end Of the score, owing to
The fact that they have been prac.
ticing for a couple of weeks, and
have developed into a ball team that
has shown well in practice games.
Again. they have played three regu-
lar games against the teams of the
JSchofield Barracks League, and
have made good showing, playing
as to 5 tie with the fast Fifth Cav
airy aggregation.
The clubmen, on the other hand,
have only been practicing for q week,
and have had no chance to play as a
team in b real game. They are all
old players, though. and can be
trusted TO do the right thingaat the
right time 49,
Both teams are somewhat shy on
pitchers. the soldiers figuring on us
ing two or even three during the
game, as they do not think any OF
their slabsters can stand the strain
of q full nine innings. The Uniyer-
city Club PLAYERS have only A. L.
Castle to depend on for box work,
and If he is batted hard the team will
be up against 1t for a relief. Both
sides are likely to slam the bali
round considerable, and the fielders
will have plenty to do, for a Ger.
tainty. ....... p.
A special train is to be run to
Schofieid after the game, so that post
fans can see the fun and still get
back for q late dinner. The game is
to be started at 3:15, and while no
admission will be charged, the hat
will be passed, the proceeds to be
evenly divided between the Duke Ka-
hanamoku fund and the Army Relief
Society. A portion of the grandstand
will be reserved for ladies and their
escorts, and no rough STUFF OF any
sort will be tolerated.

Mile A minute
MOTOR. BOAT now
Hydroplane with 20-Foot Hull
Credited with This Remark
able Speed in TriaIs-Has
230 h. p.

. NEW YORK-The mile,a+minute
motor boat, like the two-minute -trot'
ter, has been long time coming, but
it looks as fit had at last arrived.
Commodore J. Stewart BlOckton oil
the Atlantic Yacht Club is sure that
the dream of power beat owners ana
designer has finally come true, ana
he ought to know, as he owns tbs
boat which. is credited with making
this remarkable time. In the past
few years Mr.. BlocktOn has spent
thousands of dollars in an effort to
own the fastest power boat afloat,
and now believes his fondest hopes
are more than realized.
il The boat which Commodore Block.
ion says has covered several trial
miles at the rate of sixty miles an
hour Is the Baby Reliance III, little
twenty-foot hydroplane which on July
5, over a measured mile on the Mis-
sissippi river, covered the course: III
the remarkable time Of sixty-seVen
seconds, which is at the rate of fifty
four statute miles per hour.
Speed of Dixie ".
Heretofore the Dixie w held the
worlds record with a speed of 45,22
miles per hour. The Dixie, however.
is forty feet long, twice as long as the
Baby Reliance Ill, twenty feet.
Baby Reliance III has a twelve
cylinder motor of $50 horsepower.
Only a single propeller is used, and
G.. w. Van Nostrand, who piloted the
boat in her Mississippi heats, said
that she only turned over 800 revolt
lions per minute, as against l,1z0,
Fer maximum power.
The boat, like most of the Western
built type, exhausts into the air over
her port side, and her pilot and en-
gineer had to wear gas protectors or
masks over their noses and mouths to
escape the exhaust fumes.
OF course, there are those that say
that no such speed as claimed for the
LADY Reliance III is possible on a
boat with only twenty-foOt hull, but
Commodore Blockton says the boat
has made 1T and will do it again, pos
sibly at Larchmont next month.
Is Well Balanced.
Unlike most hydroplanes, the Baby
Reliance III is so we'll balanced that
she does not lift her bow out of the
water and skip along on her tail. but
rides on a fairly even keel, neither
lifting her bow nor settling at the
stern.
incidentally the same hull and en-
CINE builders are constructing a
twenty-six-foOt boat for Commodore
Blockton which will represent Amer
lea in the trial races TO select a de-
tender for the international trophy,
and if she shows the speed OF her
smaller sister there will be only one
boat in at the finish, say Commodore
BlOckton and his friends.

Mcdonald set himself carefully and
then let drive. A groan rose from the
American seats when it was seen that
the ball did not rise as big Pats put
usually do. Instead it went straight

before it landed Mcdonald let out a
yell. He knew it WIS beauty the
iron ball knocked Nicklander's green
and white flag over and dented the

This put showed Rose back iH'O

THE KAP1OLANI PARK race track
is being worked over in prepare
ton for the Labor Day races, and
when the gallopers face the bar
rier for the first race, the track will
be in as good if not better shape than
ever before. There are some valu-
able animals entered in the several
events, and their owners can rest as
sured that they will not come to
grief through bad footing. +-..
Work on the grandstand, which is
to provide seating accommodations
for 5000, will be commenced within
a day or so, and the judges and press
stands will be knocked together at
the same time. - =.
There is every indication that the
crowd which turns out for the races
will be a record one, for even with

the club has been put to no additional
expense in securing the land. An
ether bit OF ground that will be uti-
itzed lies makai of the first green,
land this, too, will be cleared and
new hole made. Practically the
whole course will be shifted a trifle,
but for the most part the present
green's and tees will be utilized.
For some time past the golf course
has been too congested on Sundays
and other days when the golfing spirit
moved any large proportion of the
membership. In fact; II the full golf
ing strength Of the club was to turn
opt, II would be absolutely impossible
for everyone to play at the same
time. Owing to the nature of the
holes, the course does not lend itself
TO many matches between holes, and
the result has been dreary waits for
the players ahead to hole out, and
consequent blocking of the entire
course. Some of the players, are not
too particular over the etiquette OF
the game, and there have been many
chickering's about passing matches,
which have rather spoiled the fun of
the game for some.
With the new course all this will
be changed. There will be room and
to spare for all, and players can get
In q round without Interruption, to
the consequent Improvement of both
their enjoyment and their golf.
