ROT ABOUT DUKE

Poor Duke Kahanamoku mas to
stand for good deal these days. Not
only is he loaded with worlds rec
ords he didn't break, but also, accord
ing to San Francisco paper, he is
to plunge into professionalism because
he can't accept the present of house
and remain an amateur.
This is what some of the bright
young men of the San Francisco Call
wrote, after rolling one of those No.
As, and properly cooking it:
Reports from Honolulu indicate that
Duke Kahanamoku, the worlds cham
pion amateur swimmer, is about to re-
tire from the vale of, the lilly whites"
and plunge into the sea Of profess
sionalism.
From news received yesterday the
world famous duke is peeVed. Not
only peeved but good and mad. When
he returned from his Olympiad vic
tories at Stockholm he was received
by the populace of Honolulu with open
arms He was lionized.. worshipped
and made the hero of the hour In
their enthusiasm the people of Homo
lulu made all sorts of promises TO
their native son as to what they
would do for him. They promised
him a beautiful house and lot at Wal
kiki beach and other things. Public
amount for the comfortable house
raised easily. .....

OAHU GOLFERS
SLUMP BADLY
And great was the fall thereof.

And great was the fall thereof.
The Oahu Country Cub golf team
hit the toboggan yesterday afternoon
in the annual competition for the Tom
Norris trophy, played for by every
club in the Western Golf Association,
and when the sorrowful story Of the
cards was told, II was found that the
eight men had finished with an az
efegate OF 11s down 70 par. Il any
other club ia the association makes a
poorer showing than this. it will have
10 "go some" IS. the worst possible
score, IL every member of the team
lost every hole at par, is Ia. s..
On the other hand, the Oahu Coun-
try Club has probably the hardest par
of any course in the association, ow-
ing to the fact that many of the
holes are just short OF the 4 distance,
and the Is just short of the IS. and
also that weather conditions make
play exceptionally difficult. Then
again, four first string players, who
were nominated for the team, failed
to put in an appearance yesterday,
for various reasons. This left the
club without the services of Gill, Gift
fard, r. A. Cooke and Armstrong.
Following were the cards:
f. Halstead, IL down; G. p. Morse.
IA down; F. w. Klebahn, Is down;
George Angus, Is down; j. l. B. Greig,

LOCAL POLO Team
TOPLAY FOURTH
CAVALRY 4
Game Between Oahu Raiders
ard Army Officers Set for
Saturday, the 18th

Honolulu pololsts will try conelu-
Bions with the Leilehua stick swing
ers for the first time this year on
Saturday, June %, on the army field
at Schofeld Barracks. Incidentally 1t
will be the first outside match for the
Fourth Cavalry since its arrival in the
Islands few months ago, and the
work OF the army poloists will be
watched with exceptional interest, as
during their tour of duty in Hawaii
they are expected to take the place
OF their predecessors, the Fifth Cav
airy, in the local polo community.
The team that will go up against
the Fourth Is by no means a repre-
sentative Oahu four. In fact, not one
of the men who carried the Hawaiian
colors to victory on the Coast will
play in the coming match, which is
the result of an individual, not club
challenge. The Honolulans who will
journey to Leilehua, are playing un-
der the name of the Oahu Raiders,
and are made up of r. w. Single,
captain, Walter Macfarlane, Leuten-
ant +. NJ. Andrews and Lieutenant b.
r. Peyton, the two latter aides to
General Macomb, and members of the
Hawaiian Polo Club, and not Of the
Schofeld contingent
Lieutenant C. X. Lyman is the NOV
ing spirit in Fourth Cavalry polo. and
he will have a fairly strong team in
the field. The army players have
been practicing since taking station
at Schofeld, and are said to have
come on fast in their stick work and
general play.
The local ponies will be sent to-
Schofield the Thursday before the
game. the trip from Moanalua being
made in the cool of the early morn
ing. II Is likely that large delega-
ton OF local enthusiasts will go out to
witness the match.

All that is needed to ciinch the
American teams victory is to win one
of the three remaining matches, and
experts look for this to be accom-
plished when Mclaughlin and Harold
H. Hackett meet the Australian dou-
bles team, consisting of Doust and
A. B. Jones. Should the United States
combination win the team will sail for
England late this month to meet the
German team, which already has
eliminated the French racquet WELD
ers in the quest for the international
championship.
Americans Have Edge.
The play during the seven sets con-
tested proved conclusively that SO far
as the present competing teams are
concerned the American prayers have
the edge on the contenders from the
antipodes.
The United States champion, Nc
Loughlin, easily disposed of Rice, out
playing his opponent to an extent not
shown by the scores. To.the surprise
of the gallery there was none of the
old slam-bang tactics TOR wnicn rhe
Californian has been noted. He used
great force in both his service and vol
leying. but he used it with care and
discretion. Either in back court or at
the net, he gagged his returns care
fully, and then, calling into play his
powerful sweep, shot the ball at or
last Rice at speed which frequently
left the Australian helpless to return
the ball. r.
The match which brought together
Williams and Doust proved far more
exciting, since the pair were more
evenly matched. Williams, recently
recovered from an illness, tired badly
under the excellent defensive and Of
fensive play of Doust. The laters
slow, twisting service, which bounded
to right or left at the servers will,
proved handicap. and the American S
troubles were added to by frequently
called foot faults ....
Ooust Aggressive.
Although Williams won three of the
Jour sets played, all the games w.
close. Doust was far more aggressfyea
than Rice. and against Williams slow

ball frequently. .= %.
The youngster of the American team
proved his mettle at critical moments,
however, by steadying and returning
shot for shot until he either passed
Doust or forced him to drive to the

would PROFESSIONALISM him. Since thai
time the house has not been turned
over to the speed king and the Off
Gals are said to be waiting to see
lust how they can present the house
to the duke, and maintain his amateur
status.
Duke in the meantime has become
restless and thinks he sees where bis
house and lot will never become his
property:
rs it best to be an amateur without
a house, cor would it be better to turn
professional and have at least a house
of my own.
This, however, Is said to be only one
of the few reasons for his wanting to
turn professional. 1t is said that he
can secure several matches down in
Australia which will bring him in
thousands of dollars in appearance
money besides the prizes he could
win. There are few professional
swimmers in the world today who
make living at their sport Down in

prove his contention to be incorrect.
