outrigger Club Stages success
full Program; Carbis Walker
Wins From Duke

swim staged under the auspices OF the
Outrigger Canoe Club on Saturday
afternoon, winning from Carbis Walk
er and Duke Kahanamoku by about OF
yards. This race was the feature
event of an excellent program.
Members OF the Outrigger Canoe
Club said today that they regret thai
LANCER was not entered, but state
that his entry was in, and 1t is' nc
fault OF theirs that the Southern Cali
fornia long distance star did not com
pete. Both Kruger and Duke trained
for the race against LANCER and were
much disappointed because the latter
natator was not on hand.
"stubby' Was Right
It is doubtful n any swimmer could
have won from Kruger the way the
Healani star was swimming on Satur
day. "Stubby" would have even given
Ross, the worlds champion, great
battle, and his performance OF Satur
day means much to local swimmers
Honolulu has been shy on long dis
lance men in the past, but with Kruger
continuing his present stroke, should
give the best in the business good
rub. -
The outrigger Club committee hand
led everything In an excellent manner,
and q large crowd came out to see the
feature race. There was much In
terest In the event as the local boys
were going after the California star
As constructive criticism, some one Is
ut fault. Il was announced that Ian
ger would compete in this event. II
LANCER announced that he would not
swim early enough, the committee is
at fault for not giving this to the pub
lie. It is TO be hoped that in the future
the public Will be given the straight
facts. II viii be good thing for the
sport.
Duke Leads ls.s ~ -ez
Duke and "Stubby'' started Off at a
fairly fast clip at the beginning of the
race, and Walker and All Kin zee fol-
lowed. AT the 40 Duke was leading
Kruger by two yards and was swim
ing q stroke q second, while Kruger
was using even faster stroke. Walk
err was back about IS yards wifi All
KIN Yee trailing.
About q half mile from the start
Kruger began to move mp and passed
Duke and continued on to the flag
with q good lead. He increased the
lead by yards going to the finish at
the diving stand. Walker piloted by
q coach on a surfboard gained at the
last quarter mile and came into the
finish ahead OF Duke by inches. 1t
was 4 great finish, and Walker made
good In the last few<yards.
He Was Busy
In Justice TO Duke Il must be said
that he had participated In padding
races. and after learning that LANCER
would not be entered did not take
things so seriously. Duke gives all
the credit to Kruger for his great race,
and refused to claim any abb. You
have got to hand II TO Duke on one
point. The long swim isn't his race,
bun he always Is willing to 60 in to
help the sport, and this point is much
appreciated by the members of the
Ohtrigger Club.
