SAN ANTONIO, Texas, March IL
Sweeping in a gigantic circle, miles in
extent, American army aerop anes to-
day are seeking for indications Of wan
dertng bands of Villistas or the head
quarters of Villa himself. That Gener-
al Pershing was utilizing the first aero
squadron in the international man
hunt, was officially confirmed at Fort
Sam Houston today. That one hun.
dred-odd CarranZa troopers are act ns
as scouts for General Pershing, also
was confirmed.
Il note that dispatches this morning
state no Carranza soldiers are operat-
ing with General Pershing's column, y
stated General Funston. "On the con-
trary, about 100 regular Carranza
soldiers are with the column operat-
ing under General Pershing. These men
were not with Colonel Bertani's forces,
but were connected with subordin-
ate body that met General Pershing at
Las PaIomas after they crossed the
border. Colonel Bertani was not at
Las Palomas at that time, and did not
personally meet the American COL
umn.'
So far there have been no casual
ties and no fighting at the front, and
no I've traces of Viilista bandits. Nor
mon scouts who are being used by
General Pershing, because of their in
innate knowledge OF the territory
through which the column is now
forcing its way, are doubtful if con-
tact with any villa bands is likely be-
fore another twenty-four hours. All
indications show that villa has secret
ed himself about Galeana, south Of
Casas Grandes. The American troops
will not get into this section much be-
fore Sunday.
The report that Major Slocum had
offered a reward Of $4,000 for Villas
head, was entirely unconfirmed at
headquarters today and regarded as
erroneous. 1t was pointed out that
Major Slocum had no authority to
make any offers OF any rewards.

from that point over a government

The Kalakaua avenue walking race,

ing, and to make an object for few
weeks training on the part Of intending
competitors. The race also provided the
public with n sporting feature at what
is always dull period Of the sporting
year. RI
The first three races were won by
Dick sullivan, in 1910, 1875 and 1910
respectively, II. M. Ayres being second
on each occasion.
In 1910 Antoine Kaoo, famous ma.
tive athlete known as "The Waialua

Jackson who finished in 1910. $.t

the starters in this race were s. j.

gerald, the Canadian professional RI "
Nigel jackson pulled down the long
end of the purse in 1912, Jim Meek
being second and Ayres third. The
winners time was 1920. .. "...
+ The race next year was won by Meek
in the course record time of l4:03. In
this race Peter Neves, a novice, ere,
.ated sensation by finishing second,
his time being 1896 1t will be seen
that Meek came home alone. Ayres
was third. This year the course had
been smoothly paved nearly half way
and corresponding improvement in
the time was shown.
In 1914 the race went to Nigel Jack
son in 1885, Ayres being second

duke AND LANCER
ARE CHAMPIONS
Swimming Fans Anxiously Await
Meeting Of Great Stars Over
the Distances

Miss Frances CowellsJ Pacific Coast
champion woman swimmer over the
fifty yards, 100 yards and 22O yards,
has notified William 7. Rawlins, man.
ager of the swimming meet next month,
that she will arrive here early in Feb
ruary and win Immediately start
practising at Waikiki Beach for the
three events in which she win compete.
Mrs. H. 4. Pollock, swimmer of some
reputation on the coast, will accompany
Miss Cowells and may take part in the
meet also. Ludy LANCER, world e
champion at 440 yards, and holder of
the American records at 500 yards, $50
yards and one mile, has also notified Mr..
Rawlins that he will also arrive early
in February. LANCER will make his
headquarters at Heinie Is Tavern with
the Olympic baseball team, while Miss
Cowells and Mrs. Pollock will stop at
Hustaee Villa. Ned Steel, the famed
song bird Of the Hui Nalu Follies, has
been appointed chaperon and guide to
the mainlanders during their stay in
the Paradise of the Pacific. FN' ~
Now that Norman Ross will not be
amongst those present, Duke p. KRhana.
fnoku will be pitted against Ludy
LANCER in the 440, 500 and $50 yards
events, remaining out of the sprints.
All of this will give the rising gener-
alton of mermen here a much better
chance to show their real worth as
swimmers. Had Ross been able to swim
anywhere near the time of the local
swimmers he would have made the trip
here, but when a man is from two to
four seconds slower than youngsters
he is not yet ripe to tackle champions.
Where the big interest in the COM
ing meet will be though is in the dis
lance races, particularly when LANCER
and Duke Kahanamoku face the start
er, LANCER is the world s champion at
| 440 yards, with q record of $3.50 l-5.
In 1913 Duke 2. Kahanomoku, on June
III, swan the distance in Honolulu har-
Dor in 5:37 AS. Following this per-
formance Duke went TO the coast and
defeated LANCER in the 440 twice and
the $50 once. Last year Duke swan
the 40 in the slow time Of 5:44. He
was not forced to extend himself at
| any time, and in consequence was not
putting forth his best efforts. Duke
has never competed in 500-yard swim,
but has done the distance in practise
in the fair time of $3.50. .. ,.F.as.
| Against a man of Langer's ability
Duke. will naturally put forth every
ounce of muscle at his command, and
whether he wins or not, local swimming
| followers will witness some wonderful
swimming when these two stars get into
action. ~
The announcement that Manager
Rawlins scored a victory in his fight
not to change the place of holding the
swimming meet from Alakea street met
with great rejoicing amongst swimmer,
and the general public, and it is 8
