One CT the most popular topics Of
writer's OF swimming articles seems to
be the question as to whether woman
is really mans equal at the natatorial
art. This question has been so widely
discussed that another assertion or
the subject win probably do no harm
Let us consider the various bran
ches OF this popular water sport and
see what both men and women have
done.
First OF all take the strokes for
form as judged in competition. AIRY
man. and especially one who is well
Yersed in swimming. must be willii &
to admit that the general rule Is that
a woman swims with better form than
a man. For instance, take the breast
stroke. ] have seen some OF our best
men swimmers in competition where
they showed that they hadn't the
slightest conception as 10 how the
breast stroke should be executed, and
consequently they were marked ae-
cordingly. Swimming with good form
may seem OF little Importance to
many, but who would walk even one
block to see an exhibition Of swim
ming where all those taking part were
not finished swimmers? The public
never evinced much interest in swim
ming until 1t was done with some
FORM k
In speed swimming women do not
equal mems records. Mans strength
shows itself in this branch of the
sport, but women's marks for short
distances have certainly shown a re-
markable Improvement. The w0menis
record for 100 yards has just bean
lowered to 1 minute 8 40 seconds.
Whether the present champion or
those to come will succeed in lowering
this to one minute is an open question.
Long distance swimming may be
viewed from two angles:
From the endurance standpoint--
that is, regardless of the speed made
-and with the view to making faS1
time
Speed tests over such distances as
from Philadelphia to Chester and the
fiye-mile course on the Schuylkill are
difficult to compare because tides. eur.
rents and weather have much toedo
with the times made For instance the
five.mile course on the Schuylkill may
be covered in 1hour and 20 minutes
when the river Is high as a result OF
heavy rains, but 2 hours and 30 min
utes is good time when there is no
current. So we see that is not even
fair to compare one woman's time
with another's.
On account OF mans strength, he is
supreme at long-distance swimming
for speed Wherever great strength
is required it is only natural that man
is superior.
When it comes to Is and 20-hour
swims. women do not figure, nine
hours are being the greatest length of
time spent in the water, at one.
by a woman in this part of
the country. Wonderful endurance
tests and feats of daring, such US
swimming long distances towing a
boatful of spectators and swimming
with hands and feet shackIed make
good reading. but If we are to try to
make swimming more widely pfac
aised exercise we surely should not
emphasize these things, but rather,
The fact that every one can and should
learn to swim far enough to insure

next Saturday evening, September 30.
Honolulu people are becoming inter
ested as this will be the first match
staged between mailman using the
Japanese style and a man opposing
with the American methods.
The Japanese followers believe that
AIiyake will win out in the big match
while the Hawaiian contingent are
banking on Kanae throwing the judo
artist two falls. Miyake has met
many of the leading head spinners OF
America, and has succeeded in hold
ing his own with a number of the
stars. and is confident that he will
win; while kanae believes the catch
as-cateh-can method will stop the
Japanese.
Miyake Trains
Miyake has been training at the
Juiiitsu Club on Beretania street,
and his workouts have shown that he
is in the best of condition to stand a
grueling match. Kanae is considered
a remarkable man for his weight. and
may go into the match a slight favor.

he brought out crew which startled
the spectators. This was the fresh

break the time made by the seniors
over the same course. Then again in
the Junior race he made time with the
crew close TO the senior mark. Later in
the day "Stubby' rowed in the kid
