in PIN GAMES
California State Y. M. c. A. Bowling

H. Christensen of Oakland and c.
E. Goebig of Honolulu are leading the
California Y. Nj. c. A. Bowling
League, with an average of 1S9, &C,
cording to reports received by mail
yesterday at tn local Aassociation.
Forman and Cook of San Jose have
slightly higher averages but have COM
peted in less than 10 games.
o. p. Soares of Honolulu occupies
sixth place with 1S4 and holds the
high game record of the league, 253.
Raseman with 1872 and Benson with
isl are in eighth and ninth places re-
spectively.
Tonight the local leaguers will stage
an important match. The Cosmos and
Honolulus are the contenders and the
chances of the. latter team for the
championship center largely on this
match. A defeat will almost elimin-
ate the Hons, while three straight
games would keep them even with
the Colts. .*.*
Tomorrow the Colts tackle the P. B.
c and will make every effort to hold
their position. Chamberlin's men have
been winning on rather low totals

There is some doubt as to the open

RUTHSTACKER
TO TEACH ART
Of SWIMMING
Champion Girl Swimmer of Ha-
Waii Will Begin Work in
Tutoring at Once

Miss Ruth Stacker has forsaken the
amateur ranks. This statement means
that Honolulu will not have the
pleasure of watching the champion
swimmer of Hawaii compete against
Miss Frances CoWells. That Miss
Stacker would have made great race
against the San Francisco girl is the
consensus of opinion among all devo-
tees of the aquatic sport.
Miss Stacker has made the fastest
time ever made by a girl swimmer in
Hawaii in the so yards, negotiating
the distance in 81 seconds. She also
made an A. A. U. record for the 440 in
Z minutes and s seconds. She has
been caught three times in practise
by three watches in 2S:4, which bet
tiers the world record. 49,.
Miss Stacker has decided to take up
teaching, and has made all arrange
ments to teach tank and open water
swimming. She will also tutor in div
ing and surf board riding. She will
have classes in both the Gerrit Wilder
and Pleasanton tanks. Miss Stack
er's nationwide reputation as swim
mer has been a big help in forming
classes. and already a large number
have asked for an opportunity to learn
the aquatic sport.
Those who have watched Miss
Stacker on a surf board know that
she is capable of teaching the art of
riding the breakers, and inasmuch as
this sport is growing in favor, large
number of pupils is expected in this
department of aquatics. Miss Stacker
will devote her entire time to the
work, and although the swimming
fans will regret that she will be I'M
able to appear in the amateur events,
il is certain that they will watch her
work in developing new champions.
The champion swimmer was trained
by the Hui Nalu swimmers, and she
owes a great amount of her success
to their efforts in teaching her the
proper method of swimming She
raced first with Mrs. Terrie Desch,
champion of the Pacific Coast in 1911
and 1912. In her, early training she
swan 80 yards at the Myrtle Boat
Club in II seconds. ~.
Miss Stacker was admitted as
member of the Amateur Athletic
Union on April 2, 1914. On June II
Of that year the girl swimmer made
the fastest time for a member of the
fair sex in a 50-yard race, winning the
event in 81 seconds Earlier in the
year she made under 80 in the Carni-
val 50-yard event.
Miss Stacker made an A. A. U. mark
in the 440 last year, covering the
quarter mile in Z minutes and s Sec
offds She raced against Dorothy
Becker on the same day, and this
event proved to be unsatisfactory, as
the swimmers misjudged the finishing
line. 1t was thought at first that Miss
Stacker would enter the events
against Miss Frances Cowells this
year, but her new work comes first,
she states, and she will leave the OPP
portuhity to defeat the San Francisco
girl to the other swimmers. Miss
Stacker believes that Miss Legros is
a coming swimmer, and expects to see
a victory over the mainland swimmer.

The feature of the basketball
games at the Y. M. c. A. last evening
was the fine work of the men who will
play in the big benefit game this even
ing. Both the regulars and substitutes
of the Honolulu Y. M. c. A. team
week showed great form.
Sergeant Brush proved his worth
as a forward when he scored seven
field goals in the first half with the
Service five. Merillees did we'll at
center, as did Noyes at forward, in
the second half.
Henry. Stars at Center.
Harry Henry proved his versatility
, when he put up great game at cen
ter for the Tigers. Gevarder, Cos
grove and Wheeler put up their usual
good game. The local "Y'' team is
surely well equipped for hard cam
paign with eight first-class players.
Meinecke and Comes, who will be
the All-Star team guards this evening,
in the benefit game, worked together
well on the Tigers last evening. Goe-
big proved a shifty forward, and
should work we'll with Mott this even
ing. The All-Star centers, Harrison
and Cannon, showed last evening that
they were in good form.
In the second contest, the Tigers
and Defiance had a nip and tuck af-
fair. First one team led and then the
other until the score was tied at 10
all, with four minutes to play Comes
ran down and slipped in ringer, and
Henry followed with a field goal that
gave the Ti&rs the game, % to 10.

psalm:

ambled up to hit, the pitchers all
would throw a lit. One day the Mud

with happy smile and fingered at the

by it blew; another came and that
made two. The fans uprose and yell
