DUKES WORK
AT STOCKHOLM
IS A PUZZLE
America the Winner, but Homo
lulu Waits AnxiOuSIy for
Swimming News

With the above score OF the five lead
ing contestants. the sixth Olympic
games closed at Stockholm yesterday.
The victorious American team Is sched-
uled 10 sail for home today. but wheth-
er the athletes will come direct. or
whether they will return via Germany
and England, giving exhibitions there,
is not known here.
HonoIulans are puzzling over the
exact status OF Duke Kahanamoku,
Since the cable received here some days
ago announcing that the iO0-meter race
had been 'Teswum.n there hasn't been
a word of definite news as to the Island
swimmer
II looks as though there had been a
mix-up I'm the cables. and that when
the King of Sweden asked Duke to the
royal box II was to congratulate him
on raving won the final of the 100
meter event This sounds more rea-
sonble, on It's face. for surely such an
important event as the swimming sprint
would not have been left out of the
Associated Press dispatches.
Also, II would seem that the 500
meter relay swimming race won by
America last Friday must have been a
qualifying heat, as the dispatches yes
! terday stated that America took Sec
ond to Australia IN this event These
points will not be definitely decided
until the mainland papers bring full
accounts OF the Stockholm sports.
Apparently the other countries came
up with rush. and Americas final
victory was much closer than was ex
pected about the middle Of the week,
when the Stars and stripes was flying
from the stadium fiagpole most Of the
time.

TOO many FREE RIDES TO FIRST

Changing positions of batters is a
thing that McGraW rarely ever does.
For two seasons he did not bulge his
batting order.
The amazement of the fans can be
appreciated, therefore, when in the
opening game at Brooklyn the Giant
manager took one solid crack at the
list. of names and shuffled them up
from top to bottom. With Deyore and
Doyle out, a good waiter had to lead
off, and Snodgrass was elected to the

PUBLIC APPROVES
DISAPPOINTMENT OF
TENNIS MATCHES
No Conflict Now Between the
Big Championship Events of
Next Week-Hard Practice.

The decision of the committee in
charge OF the championship tennis
tournament to call of play on the
two days when il conflicted with the
polo championships, is the best news
that the sportloving public of Homo
lulu has heard for some time. First
class events of this sort come too few
and far between here to make a
choice between the two necessary,
and tennis enthusiasts will be just as
glad OF the chance to see the polo, as
the polo devotees will be. to see the
court stars in action. The tennis
tournament will start as schedule on
Monday, July %. but there will be
no play on Wednesday or Saturday
of next week, the only two conflicting
dates.
Tennis men are hard at work get
ting final polish on their games.
Every AFTERNOON there is a consider
able showing at Beretania and Pacific.
and there have been some hot prac-
tice matches of late.
| About the fastest doubles seen to
date were played yesterday afternoon
at Beretania, when Al, l.. Castle and
Alan Lowrey paired off against A.
M. NOVEL; and Eugene Horner. These
two teams will line up for champion
ship honors in the same order, and
while yesterdays game wasn't much
more than a practice, in which the
players took lots of chances that they
would fight shy of in tournament
play. 1t nevertheless gave the snec-
tators good run, and provided a
line on form.
The Castle-Lowrey combination won
GO. 4-6, 6-1, after some brilliant
rallies. Horner is the champion of
Hawaii, while Lowrey is captain-elect
of the Harvard tennis team for 1913.
The latter plays a hard-hitting, dash
ing style of game. delivering his Sec
ond service as hard as his first. AS a
result he double faulted often yester-
day, but probably in match, play he
will be a deal more careful on this
point.
Miss Louise Phillips and Miss e.
Phillips, two Chicago players who will
play in the ladies' events. we're out
practicing yesterday afternoon, and
showed good form.

uled so as to divide up the early

EDDIE PLANK IS
MACRS BEST
PITCHER

The many disappointment his nu-
merous pitchers are handing him this
season makes the work of Eddie Plank
look all the brighter to Connie Mack,
wizard of the Athletes. The veteran
of the squad and player whom some
of the critics have for several seasons
been RELOCATING to the has BEEN
class. Plank keeps right on delivering
the goods in mastery style.
1t was Plank who kept the Athletes
out of last place all ahrough the early
weeks of the season last year, and
again 1t is Plank who is doing most
of the winning this year. His left hand
crossiire is as deadly as of yore, and
his painstaking methods in preparing
for the baseball season leave no cause
for such excuses as lack of control
and overweight.
Plank knew what was coming and
prepared to give his best efforts at a
time when good work is most needed.

NEW YORK, II. Y. - Chief John
Tories Meyers bears the unique dis
tinction today of being the first Indian
baseball player to have his position in
the batting order changed SO as to pre-
vent opposing pitchers from giving him
too many bases on balls.
For three seasons now the big In
dian has been allowe6 to pursue his
hard hitting way just above the pitch
er. When McGraw first put him there
he did not realize, perhaps, that Mey-
ers was going to prove the most nat
ural hitter i'm the league. When Bres-
nahan was with the Giants his hitting
ability was responsible for his batting
fourth. Sometimes he led off. But
Meyers was getting along so well way
down the list that McGraw decided to
leave him there.
Ii so happened that the chief was
frequently called upon to clean up the
bases, and he made good SO often that
the opposing pitchers were forced to
figure out a scheme to Offset that ter
rible wallop. They did this by giving
him base on balls whenever there
were runners on the sacks, preferring
to take chance on the pitcher, who Is
usually weak with the willow.
Is Deliberately Walked.
In the first thirty games played this
season Meyers was purposely walked
no less than sixteen times. This grad
ually cut down his rum driving power.
and then it was that McGraw began
to figure. The result was that he NOV
ed the chief up peg in the batting
order and put good hitter behind him
IL the chief is given a base on balls
now, the opposing pitcher will find a
strong young batter like Fletcher or
Groh ready to take up the war club and
whoop.
Batters who are good walters" are
frequently moved up to the head of
the list so as to get as many bases on
balls as possible but the chief happens
to be the first to be moved round to
get away from it. So far the change
has worked well, and Meyers can now
go ahead and crack the ball just as
hard as he pleases.

ANSWERS

Sporting Editor, Honolulu Star-Bul.
letin, Sir:
Will you kindly settle a discussion
regarding an incident during the prog
ress of ball game. The gist of the
argument is
A player is on second base, and an
other is on third. A double steal Is
attempted, but the player who left
third is unable to reach the plate. An
attempt is made to throw him out, but
during the exchange of the ball in
said attempt the player from second
runs down and touches third. There
is tumble and the player gets safely
back to third, and the player who ran
from second gets safely back to his
original base.
A says the player that occupied
third base originally is out for the rea-
son that the player running from sec
ond and touching third forced him.
B claims that neither player was
out, because it was not a force and it
would have been necessary to touch
either player with the ball.
argues that after the player who
ran from second touched third, all
that was necessary was for the catch
er to touch home plate and the player
who tried to steal home would be out
