Grace Captures the Outposts.
The next evening there was choir
practice at the Walnut Street church.
Abbott Ashton, Eesitating to make his
nightly plunge into the dust-clouds of
learning, paused in the vestibule to
take peep at Grace. He knew she
never missed a choir practice. for
though she could neither sing nor play
the organ, she thought it her duty to
set an example of regular attendance
that might be the means Of bringing
those who could do one or the other.
Abbott was not disappointed; but he
was surprised to see Mrs. Jefferson in
her wheel-chair at the end of the pew
occupied by the secretary, while be-
tween than sat Mrs. Gregory. His sur
prise became establishment on discov-

HONOR AND FAIR DEALING IN SPORT

What's the use of trying to claim false rec
ords for Duke Kahanamoln?
He broke one worlds record last Wednesday
and only one worlds record, according TO the ac-
cepted authority on records The morning pa
per reached the height of absurdity today in an
editorial solemnly explaining that Duke broke
three worlds A. A, u. records" A worlds A.
A. q record is just as foolish as a "world's
Waikiki record or a worlds Honolulu record. =
That is self-eyident
The records of the A. A. u. ( Amateur Athlet
ic Union) are American records, mot worlds rec
ords Two of the worlds swimming records
claimed for Duke are held in Australia. Let's
be fair.
The morning paper refers to the "Best Ath-
letic Records" of the World Almanac for 1913
and says that Dukes records are recognized UNI
der this heading That's true. But the morning
paper was careful not to say that under this
heading is the following footnote:
@Best American records accepted by the ANA
teur Athletic Union"
And it is as sbest American records" that
Dukes performances stand under this heading
and the explanatory footnote. Later on, the
Australian records, the worlds records, are Civ
en- as such. The very authority quoted by the
morning paper differentiates between worlds
records" and "A A. Z. records" and so does
EVERYONE else who knows anything about sport.
Duke has not claimed three new worlds rec
ords. The officials of the A. A. Y. here have not
claimed three new worlds records for him. Yes
