PERRY McGILIIvRAY ARRIVES TODAY FOR
Big CARNIVAL SWIMMING MEET FEB. Y
Three Naators Coming on WheImina-MSSes Agnes Burns
and AIeen Allen of Los Angeles Coming Here For Aquatic
Events-Lane, Kruger and keii will Uphold Honors for
HonouIu-Wil Meet Ross, McGiHivray and ludy hanger

Perry McGillivray of Chicago. the
man who defeated Duke Kahanamoku
in Chicago last year, will arrive in
Honolulu at 4 O'Clock this afternoon.
McGillivray is considered one Of the
leading swimmers in America and will
be the favorite to win the 100-yard
dash IN the coming Carnival meet.
He has made under SO on number
OF occasions and at the present time
Clarence Lane appears to be the only
swimmer who will give the Chicago
man q race in the century. Lane is
improving and in the last meet gave
Duke hard race throughout. Nc
Gillivray will also enter the 220, and
over this distance will have hard COM
petition, as Norman Ross, who has
made faster time, will be one. OF the
many who will be entered.
Honolulu will have at least two
representatives in the 220-yard swim.
and John Kelii and "Stubby" Kruger
must be counted on to make good
showing against the visitors. Kelii fin.
ished right behind Cam in the last
race and made the time under 2:30.
Kruger was we'll up and in his practise
swims has been going around 1923.
With these two boys in the best of
shape the prospects are bright for a
new mark, as McGilfivray is especially
speedy in the furlong swim.
A Great Race
In the furleng the swimming fans
will have to watch Norman Ross. He
isn't saying much about this race, but
1t would not be at all surprising If
the Portland boy lands the race in
record time. He has made time bet
ter than 2:30 in practise and there will
be number of disappointed fans il
the Big Moose does not clip a few frac.
tons off the record now held by Duke
and Cunha In the harbor
This race should be one OF the best
of the Carnival and it should be a
big feature. Ross, McGilliyray, Ian
ger, Kelii and Kruger make UP q
strong field, and although LANCER is
hardly expected to make as fast time
as the other four, he should be well
up at the finish. It is unfortunate
that Duke and Cunha will not be able
to race in this event, as 1t would then
make the best field possible.
Ross and hanger
In the long distance events it looks
like battle between the two visitors.
Ross and LANCER. Ross will represent
the Olympic Club and LANCER the Los
Angeles club. 1t has been rumored
that Ross will make his home in
Honolulu. so there will be no favorites
among the local people. Ross is a
modest fellow and one does not hear
him telling Of how he viii beat LANCER.
but at the same time he is working
hard and the Los Angeles natator will
have a hard fight on his hands

HONOLULU PARADISE FOR SPORT,
MANAGER OF CUE WIZARDS
Manager Benjamin Relates incidents OF Billiard Experiences in
Paradise of Pacfic-Tes Two Good Ones on Harry at the
Office Supply Company-GWes Big Boost for Mayor John
Lane IN Special Atcle-TeS Good One on Charley Marquee

Honolulu is paradise-for sport.
So says r. B. BENJAMIN, business
manager for Willie Hoppe, who holds
the worlds championship for baIk-line
billiards. in the Evansville Journal
News. BENJAMIN and Hoppe recently
returned from the Hawaiian Islands,
where exhibitions OF Hopes marvel.
Gus skill were given before audiences
of Hawaiian sport lovers in the CAPT.
tai city OF the archipelago. With
Hoppe and BENJAMIN there were in the
party Mrs! Hoppe and Koji Yamada,
the great Japanese biIliardist.
The climate, the life Of the people
and the topography of the islands all
make for sport, according to Benja-
min and sport is the great thing IN
the life of the natives.
Boost For Mayor Lane
To make the sporting life OF Homo
lulu more gripping. a singular politi-
cal chance has placed in office as
mayor q man who is In love with
every branch OF sport which the city
affords. Mayor Lane of Honolulu
stands feet inches, is fine speci-
men Of Hawaiian manhood, and is q
typical representative Of his race. His
big body holds heart that is CORES
pondingly as big, and towards sport
he has an affection in which all his
citizens share with equal zest.
Hoppe went to Honolulu forgive the
people there an exhibition of the great
skill which has made him master of
the billiard world for years. His game
and his exhibition and the profit which
the natives derived therefrom, worked
great good fortune for the billiard
lovers in Hawaii II was the first
time that the Hawaiians had ever had
the opportunity to see such famous
expert at the game, and the interest
that they took over Hopes presence
may be aptly illustrated by an anec-
dote that Benjamin tells about Char
ley. MARQUEE, the millionaire office
supply company owner of Honolulu.
While BENJAMIN was in the office
Of the only billiard supply dealer in
Honolulu, or the islands for that mat
ter, a man came in to sell the proprie-
tor. Charley MARQUEE. some billiard
balls Marquee called in his billiard
expert. Harry. and upon getting Har-
rvs favorable opinion with regard to
the balls. bought three sets from the
stranger for SO, thinking that he was
getting a great bargain in the pur-
chase. Marquee inquired if the man
could supply him with any more. and
the man promptly promised to return
with half a dozen sets the next day.
BENJAMIN witnessed the transaction
and observed at once that the balls
were understood and thoroughly unre-
