meet. proposed soule tine ego for
Carnival Week has bet n ab3ndon-
ed has caused no little comment
among those who are In favor OF plen-
" OF aquatic sport in Honolulu.
II would like To know II this meet
has fallen through merely because the
4. A. T. did not wish To develop II,
said an enthusiastic sportsman last
Saturday afternoon. Surely, there
are business houses in this city that
would be glad to finance n proposition
of this nature, especially Whea Il Is
considered from an advertising stand-
point. -
There isn't the least doubt but that
the majority of the visitors wao come
to Honolulu during the Carnival Week
would be delighted TO haze al oppor-
tnnity of seeing Duke KallaaaaokH.
the worlds champion swimmer. along
with the other cracks Of the city, in
action. An exhibition Of this kind
would be nothing more than following
up advertising. What Is the use OF
Hawaii getting a good deal of notorie-
ty through Dukes performances last
year, il ii does not use every chance II
can. to keep the public aware Of the
fact that Hawaii has champion
swimmer. The Young Mems Christian
Association in San Francisco got q
great deal of advertising recently on
account of their winter swimming
meet, which Is open to all-comers, and
which includes couple OF races for
ladies' The San Francisco papers
gave a half-page In reviewing the
events, making special reference TO
the fact that San Francisco woman
won the coast championship. With all
due respect to the ladies, perform
|anees, there are number Of young
ladies' In Honolulu who could make
those Californians sit up and take no.
stiee, but the local girls, II seems. are
not given a chance to show what they
can do. <As.1
| why not make the Carnival Week
swimming Meet open to all Corners. II
this were the case, Honolulu would be
bound In time to have swimmers from
the coast come here TO try their skill
against the local talent. The june
meet could still be the inter-club meet
that 1t has always been, and now Is
the time to get busy and do The thing
right / am sure that Il, VIII have
bearing on the success OF future Car
niyals In Honolulu.
THE RECENT ANNOUNCEMENT
OF Jack Twin Sulllyan's retire
ment from the ring calls to mind
numerous Incidents Of that fight
er's long career inside the fopesss
Sullivan, althoagh clever man and
hard hitter, used many other methods
to bewilder an opponent while fighting
for the larger share of the purse. He
was a witty IFishman, with q CHEEKY
smile and chivalrous manners, two OF
the accomplishments which put many
opponents off their guard and beat
them.
Jack was mixing with Jim Flynn In
Los Angeles, and after every round he
would grab Flynn by the arm and lead
the Fireman" toward HIS (Sulliyan's)
corner. Flynn would be hurried al
most across the ring before he would
get wise % Sulligan's tricks and then
incense he would punch at Jack and
then hurry, shamefacedly, back 70 his
own corner. s+
Along toward the end Of the fight,

from the start. Sullivan grabbed him
by the arms and shouted: There's the
bell, JIM" e-
Flynn, tired and. ready 20 grasp at
anything that meant a. rest, instantly
turned toward his corner and Jack,
with smile, knocked him against the
ropes with right swing. Then It
