GIVES RECORD OF
FANNY DURACK
Sydney Sporting Writer Says Time
Was Only One Second Faster
nor Than Miss Stacker's.

j. n. Phillips, an old New Zcalandcr
who is now secretary of the Honolulu
Planning Mill Company, received let.
ter from the editor of the Referee, the
great sydney sport paper, Monday: Mr..
Phillips had written him of the swim
ming meet here on July IL, enclosing
clippings from The Advertiser, giving
the time made by Ruth Wayson stack
or for fifty yards as record. The
Referee states that Fanny Duracli
made the distance in the main tank mt
Sydney in May last in thirty seconds.
Unmack Of the San Francisco Cali re-.
ports the young woman's time as
twenty-nine seconds, but as the editor
of the Referee was in Sydney at the
time of the contest his statement is
probably nearer correct.
Mr.. Phillips is deeply interest in
swimming and for time held the rec.
ord for some of the distances in his
home town. He states that Wickham,
who does fifty yards in % % is a Solo.
mop Islander, as black as ink, but n
born swimmer, as all of the Islanders
are. In the opinion of the young man
the famous crawl stroke had its origin
in the Solomons and when Wicliham
went to the Colonies and met Cavillc
the latter probably made much of it and
gave it publicity that made it popular
among all fast swimmers.
"To get the Australian swimmers
here for February 22,' said Mr.. Phil
lips, ait will be necessary to pay their
expenses, because whenever Australia
asks swimmers to 90 there they offer
to pay the bills. Then with the Aus
tralians in the swim there should be
some of the cracks from the United
States. ! believe there should be n
two days meet and | believe ten
thousand persons would pay admission
to soc the world s best swimmers. The
receipts would go toward the expense
of bringing contestants here and there
would be plenty left for prizes. All
you want is a bunch of live ones at tn,
head of the affair and you can make
it success
The committee in charge of tn,
swimming events for the Floral Parade
will be asked to consider Mr.. Phillips
suggestions.

American League,
No Manager Has Won Champion
ship of the Baseball World
More Than Twice.

Has any manager in the National or
American League won the champion
ship of the world four times, particu-
larly McGraw and Mack! Two dyed
in,the-wool baseball fans yesterday ar
gued the question until they were blue
in the face and finally decided to put
the question to the sporting editor of
The Advertiser.
Delving into the records since the
formation of the two leagues shows
that no man has won n championship
of the world on four occasions. Mack
and Chance have two championships Of
the world to their credit. Mack won
from Chicago in 1910 and New York
in 1911. Chance performed the Neat
by defeating Detroit in 1907 and again
in 1908.
As to winning pennants in their re-
spectivc leagues, McGraw won in 1904,
1905, 1911 and 1912. Clarke won in
1901, 1902, 1903 and 1909. Chance won

HONOLULU JOHN
VERY NEAR TOP
Johnny Williams Is Close Second
in Slabsters Standing of Pa
cifc Coast League.

Honolulu John Williams is giving
Dutch Klawitter, his brother slabster
an the Sacramento team, n close race
for the first place on the pitchers per
contagc list of the Pacific Coast League.
The table given here is from the Sac
ramnto Union of July 2S and shows
klawitter in first place with percent
age of .77S and Williams second with
6sS. Since then Williams pitched Sac
ramento 20 victory over Venice in a
close game which closed with score
of three to two runs, while Klawitter
lost one game for the Senators. The
standing, then, brought to date, would
give Kiawitter roo with Williams
hanging close by with .6sS.
Dutch Klawitter S win over Portland
last wecl, frightened his grip on the
leading berth among the pitchers in
games won and lost. says the Sacramen-
10 Union. johnny Williams victory
over Portland boosted him up into see
Ond place, and gives the Sacramento
Wolves the distinction of having the
two leading pitchers among the regular
slabmen at the end of seventeen weeks
of the pcnnant race. With Kinsella
at the 600 mark, and Stroud at the 800
level, Sacramento has four regular
pitchers who have won at least as many
games as they have lost.
Portland and Los Angeles each have
Ave pitchers mt the 800 mark or higher
Sacramento, Venice and Oakland each
have four twirlers in this class, and
San Francisco, the celarites, have only
three. Ryan of Los Angeles, Higgin,
botham of Portland and flaming of
San Francisco are giving Klawitter and
Williams the hardest rub for first
honors.
Knapp of Portland and Pruitt of
Oakland were the only pitchers to win
two games last week. Arellancs of
the Wolves, Baker of the Seals and
klepfer of the Ncnetians each lost two
games. The following records of games
