An invention which promises to re-
yolutionize rowing methods was
shown at the Poughkeepsie regatta
recently by the inventor, Edward ],
Kerns of Worcester, Mass. 1t is an
oar handle on which Mr.. Kerns has
obtained a patent and which, in the
opinions of such we'll known coaches
as Courtney of Cornell, Rice of Co
lumbia, Ten Eyck of Syracuse and
others, will greatly increase the pow
er of an oarslnan, and when used by
eight men in shell will add ire
mendously increased speed to the
boat. 1884,: +. r.. -. ~
The adjustment consists of a swivel
handle attached to the end of the oar
so.that the oarsman grips it with his
outside hand, which is kept in per-
pendicular position. 1t affords in
creased leverage inboard of about
five inches over what has been recog-
nized as the limit of length without
handicapping the rover at the catch
and finish of a stroke. Although
there is this increased leverage in
board, there is no shortening of the
reach of the oar outbcard, as the
handle frame is curved toward the
body to counterfeit the increased lev
erage inboard. 1t is well known that
the hand, arm and wrist have greater
pulling power. when an object is grip
ped by the hand in perpendicular
position instead of horizontal posi-

NEW OAR HANDLE MAY
SPEED UP RACE CREWS

ton, which has heretofore always
been used in rowing.
The proof of this was found in a
test made by James Rice, the Column
bia coach, who, using an oar with this
adjustment, took the stroke position
in a pair-oared gig, while Fred Plat
sted, with an ordinary oar, took the
bow position. Rice developed so
mulch more power than Plaisted that
the boat described a curve. Rice inn
mediately ordered a set of handles
for use in training the Ottawa Row
ing Club of Canada this summer.
Coach Courtney of Cornell was also
strongly impressed with the idea and
ordered an equipment for use at lth-
AGA in the fall.
William Haines, graduate of Ok
ford and coach of the Union Boat
Club, Boston, said to Kerns;
''Your invention makes it look as
if we had been rowing the wrong way
for three hundred years" :...
Skilled coaches and equippers of
boats have been figuring for years for
a slight advantage in length of oar in
board, knowing that no matter how
little they may gain will prove of
great advantage to the crew. The
changing of position of this outside
hand has furnished this increased lev
erage without slowing the action of
the hands from the boat or tying up
the oarsman in his movements in the
slightest degree. E.. -. -.

GERMANS WORK
ON OLYMPIC
PROGRAM

NEW YORK. A large and In
creasing interest is being displayed
by the Germans in their Olympic
games. which are to be held IN 1916
in Berlin. The stadium in Grune-
valid is completed. II Is estimated
that no less than 10000 will take part
in the games. The athletic clubs are
working hard to turn out the best
athletes Germany has had. Even the
German cavalry officers have begun
training for the riding and jumping
contests.
Little Change in Program.
The country holding the Olympies
has, by the international rules, . fiEht
10 make the program as It desires.
However, prominent sporting men In
Eerlin are authority for the statement
that the program win not differ much
from that in Sweden last year. The
German gymnastics will hold high
ser place In these games than In any
other of the former Olympics. In
all probability they will open lkha
games. There will be allowed onlg
eight days for the athletic games. Ia
comparison with ten days at Stock
holm.
Standing Jump TO Go.
The athletic program, which has
been drawn up roughly. promises to
Rave very few changes from the 1912
program. Instead Of the 5000 and
10000 meter races there viii be
race OF one German mile, four and
three-quarters English miles. The
standing jumps will besabolished and
the weight throwing will be limited
to the best hand. The Germans ex-
pect to do wonders in the weight lift
ing contests, which Will be decided
With one and two arms.
The wrestling will be tried twice
in each of the four classes, with
limit of thirty minutes at time. II
neither of the wrestlers secures a fall
in that time the winners will be
chosen by the judges. The weight
lifting contests promise TO be an
event in which only the Germans VIII
take part, as 1t is doubtful II there
win be four foreign teams with which
TO compete. ,s..s... S : sss.e.
Cycles to Race Around Berlin.
The bicycle events viii consist Of
race "around Berlin" distance OF
$40 kilometers, about 80 miles; one
CT twenty kilometers, twelve and one
half miles, and also race Of 1000
meters. This should give the Amefi-
can bicyclists a chance at the two
shorter distances, which will be held
on a track in the stadium.
The swimming program win be;
For men-100 meters free style, 100
meters back stroke; 200 meters back

Will DEClDEON
BASEBALL DATES

This evening the Oahu League Will
hold its regular meeting, at 1850 at
the Office of Charles Chillingworth.
The meeting is of unusual interest
because the question of playing the
postponed game next Sunday will
come up for reconsideration.
The, league officials decided last
week to play off the postponed double
header, but now there is talk of cali
ing of the games, which have no
bearing on the winning of the first
series The Stanford-St. Louis game
is scheduled for Sunday at Moiliili,
and there are many fans who think
that it would be good policy for the
league to cancel this extra date, and
postpone the start OF the second Sc
ries until July 26, so that there would
be no conflicts.

to about $1,000 more than the fund
for that work provides and Territorial
Treasurer Conkling announces he will
Teestablish the deputy assessors OF
the Big Island on the percentage ba-

present. Though the amount collect
ed has been more than before, the ex.

Chief Justice White of the United

The very foundation of our free

triumphant democracy, not in the
march of popular feeling and popular
conduct unrestraind, but that men
could restrain themselves, that great
principles could be written into our
national life which could guide and
restrain us and lead US on. free from
anarchy, full of liberty, with life and

Preachers and Vacations,

Charles City Intelligencer: why be
a preacher instead Of a newspaper
man." asks the Sioux City Journal
and answers its own query thus: @The
preacher can suspend during the hot
spell" This suggests the thought that
possibly it is because the newspaper
man cannot suspend that the minis
ter abandons his pursuit of sin for a
brief time, well knowing that evil
will not get the upper hand SO lone
as the newspaperman remains at his
post of duty. It is said that the devil
never takes a vacation, but it may
be that he never needs one. Let that
be as it may. However, the minister
who never takes vacation will FIND
his work pail upon him to such ar
extent that much OF 1t would be
valueless.
