MYRTLES Win
GREAT RACE

The Myrtle freshman crew upheld
the honor Of the Red and White Satur-
day afternoon when they defeated the
Eealani babies after wildly exciting
finish, in the row-off of the Regatta
Day tie. 1t was a grand race, with the
Healanis making a determined squirt

open water, and nearly turned the
trick. The winning time was 10 min
utes and Al seconds, while the tie race
was rowed in Ii minutes, Z seconds
This proves that neither crew lost by
the weeks lay-off, and also that the
MSrtles were not crippled by the sub
stitution of Johnny Searle for Shaw
al No. 4. The latter was away on the
kukui, and could not row.
Before the race Healanis were fair
~ confident that they would win, max
ing complete sweep for the year
There were several bets made with
the Healanis slight favorites, and
those who had the Blue and White
end of the wagers were well pleased
at first, for although the Myrtles got
OF to a slightly better start, the Hea-
lanis rapidly overhauled them, and led
ali the way to the outer turn. The
Myrtles made the better turn, and
then started to draw away from their
rivals. Opposite the Healani boat
house they were two lengths to the
good, but there Tie Hea1anis made a
gallant stand, and hit mp a squirt that
brought their bow creeping toward the

THE TRUTH ABOUT SPORT

SAN FRANCISCO GIVES
DUKE. kAHANAM0KU ALL
H0N0RS DUE CHAMPION.
Hawaiian Is Accorded a Great
Reception by Coast Swim
ming Fans, and Sporting
Writers Give Him a Great

San Francisco swimming fans and
the general sporting public OF the Bay
City favored Duke Kahanamoku with
"a little more attention when he hit
town the other day than when he pass
co through en- route for the A. A. y.
championships in the Easts At that.
San Francisco gave the Hawaiian a
friendly deal from the first but when
he came back with the worlds great

and gave him lively walcome In

| Duke will be home tomorrow on the

have a chance to hear all about 1t first
hand. In the mean time, this Is what
the San Francisco Call OF recent date
has to say of the local speed marvel;
under the heading. Worlds greatest
swimmer here.
In the pink OF condition and just as
modest as to his swimming ability as
when he passed through this city sew
eral months ago on his way to the
Oympiad at Stockholm, Duke KahaTla-
mcku arrived in the city yesterday
and registered at the Stewart hotel
The great swimmer is on his way
to his home in Honolulu, taking with
him the worlds championship over
leo meters, and incidentally the
worlds record for the distance. which
he made in Hamburg July %. going
the route in minute 1.5 seconds
and breaking the time Of minute
2 2-5 seconds that he established on
,July 6, when he won the first heat OF
the 100 meters race at the Olympiad
a. Stockholm.
Duke was the talk of Europe while
with the American team at the Oiym-
piad, and after the games at Stock
holm he toured the continent, winning
every race that he entered He does
rot have much to say about his own
great victories The Oiympiad was
the greatest series of swimming races

IS possible that special event win be

committee Of the Olympic club and
luke will be asked to compete.
Local swimming fans are anxious
to see the great swimmer in action.
and such race would in importance
equal the race that the great Kohle

changes his arms with slower roll

Once under way the duke rushes
through the water at a great clip,

is the Cavill style down to the minut-
est detail, though if anything the leg
chop is brought closer to the surface.
The legs are worked fast and he gets
about twice as much action out of
them as he does out of the arms.
Yesterday the duke went four laps

When he first set eyes on the club

ed, Gee, but this is some tank" In
his travels in the east and Europe the
duke swan in probably fifty different
tanks, but not one of them, he says,
comes up to the Olympic club tank
for elegance of fittings and decora-
ton. He has been in longer tanks in
Europe, but not one to compare with
the local tank for beauty In the, east
the average tank is about 80 feet long,
while the Olympic tank is 100 feet. In
Europe several of the tanks he was
in are considerably longer.

to stay over and give an exhibition on

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Sept. "a
Duke Kahanamoku yesterday gave a
demonstration of the speed that won
everlasting fame for him at Stockholm
and again at Hamburg. when ne
broke the worlds record for the 100
meter swim. News of his appearance
in the Olympic club tank went over
the city like wildfire, and before he
was through showing his wonderful
style the galleries were packed to
their capacity by club members and
their friends. Kahanamoku has a
crawl style differing only in slight es-
sentials from the famous Cavill crawl
that set the world at large talking
many years ago when sgd, Dick, Ar
thur and Charlie Cavill, then resident
in Australia, won all the champion
ships of the antipodes and incidental
ly, among them, cracked worlds rec
ord after record
Duke has made just such sensa-
ton as the old school of Cavill did in
the heydey of their career, and ex-
perts who watched the Hawaiian boy
yesterday pronounced his style as not
only perfect but the more remarkable
from the fact that he gets more than
80 per cent. of his speed out of his arm
action.
Naturally long armed, he makes the
best use of this feature of his build
that nature has accorded him. He
has broad expanse of shoulders, and
every inch of his body and limbs
show that muscular development so
characteristic of thoroughly trained
swimmer.
Technical Comparisons.
Kahanamokus' arm action is per-
haps the most noticeable variation
from the Cavill crawl to the close stu
dent of the art OF swimming. In the
Cavill method the arms are brought

1t was lucky that Burns dropped
Heine Raphaels foul fly over by the
rightfield bleachers in the third.
When Fernandez put the ball on
Schuman in the fifth, "Scotty" did a
flip-flop that would have done credit
to Oscar Jones in his palmiest days.
Heine Raphael got things pretty
well rubbed into him in the eighth.
He lost mouthful of teeth trying to
make one put out at the plate, and
on another play in the same inning
got spiked through the arm. &
Flizer needed an alpinestock when
he. started to 60 mp the sbleachers at
ter Yarnashiro's foul fly.
DICK Joseph slammed the first ball
pitched to him in the second game
down the left foul line and 'beaned"
a pake kid: 1t caused a furry, but
the injury did not prove serious.
Sakaino got great hand when he
came to bat the first time and struck
out.
s Henry Chillingworth grabbed the
indicator when Bert Bower failed to
put in an appearance, and umpired
both games very well. Bower arrived
before the second game, but elected to
let Henry finish the job alone.
, Nishi put over a new one when he
started to work behind the bat with
out his mask in the seventh. Had the
one ball he caught before the cage
was handed to him been a foul tip, he
would be looking for a new face to-
day.
BY the way, Nishi got through a
whole game without being hurt. Prob
