xNeptune's Daughters Arrive
Tomorrow For Aquatic Meet
Claire GaIgan Frances Cowes and Dorothy Burns American
Champions to Compete in Series of Races Here Next Week
Greatest Feminine Events Ever Staged in HawaI-Meet-
ina of MermaidS Promises to Be Big Boost for Swimming

Middle West. The Pacific Coast has
more swimmers than any other sec
ton, and in a six girl relay, the Cali
fornians would without doubt defeat
the representatives from any other
section.
Well Known Here.
Dorothy Burns and Frances COwells
are we'll known here, and their COM
ing gives a big boost to swimming.
When Dorothy Burns appeared here
in the last meet, the spectators no
tced that she used pigeon toed kick,
And when her feet fluttered in the
crawl she turned her toes in like a
pigeon tOed pedestrian. This pigeon
toed effect has been adopted by most
of the great swimmers Of the country.
Frances Cowells, who is known by
her friends as "Chappie" Cowells, is
the leader of the great colony OF
swimmers in San Francisco. She has
captured nearly all the records around
the. bay, and in many of the meets
has won several events in one day.
Miss Cowells has made a great rec
ord in aquatics during the past year,
and the fact that she leads such swim.
mers as Mrs. Terrie Desch, Dollie
Mings, Mrs. Ernest Smith (Margaret
Brack), Ethel Daily, Dorothy Becker.
Alice Goodman and Wallie Mahan, is
sufficient to show that she has made
some splash in aquatics.
Mermen Expected
Siegel and Jones of Chicago are
expected to arrive tomorrow, but no
word has been received from them.
Bachrach, q Midway trainer, is ex-
pected to be one Of the arriving pas
sengers. Abe Siegel is still a young
ster, about II years old, but reports
from the Windy City state that he
has covered the century in SIS, which
would give him a chance with Lane
and Ross in this event. If Duke is
in condition, anOAit is thought he
will be, there doesn't appear to be a
chance that he will be defeated in
the century event.

With the leading players OF the city
in one league prospects are bright fol
g0od series. The prices will remaiT
the same, although there has been
some talk Of a change from 10 cent?
to II cents for bieacher seats Thh
will be made only for the grownups
in case ii goes through, and the kidd
will be allowed an opportunity o
watching the game at the same price
II Is understood that the Pacific
League will make a few improvements
on the grounds and in the stands
which will be big help to the game
The various managers talked thing
over in a peacable manner, and there
were no squabbles In the discussion
A few details needed straightenini
out. but II looks like a good omeI
for better baseball conditions in Ho
Iolulu.
Games on Sunday.
AT the meeting last evening it was
announced that the Pirates woule
play the 25th Infantry at SchofieIt
on Sunday, providing that this ar
rangement was satisfactory to Man
ager Carr and the AlI-Stars. The 25tt
Infantry had q series scheduled WITH
the Stars, but tnasmuch as Henry Chill
lingworth is unable to play, and the
fact that peace has been restored
Lang Akana said this morning tia
the Stars would be willing to give VI
this game. II this arrangement Is sat
isfactory to Manager Carr of the 25th
Infantry, the game viii be the first
OF the league series.
The 1st-32nd will meet Fort Ruse1
at Moiliili Field on Sunday in the
first game of the series, providing the
arrangement Is made with Manager
Carr. The Chinese will lay off thi!
Sunday. The Pacific League will con
tinue to play the opening ga, IS al
Moiliili Field on Sunday There viii
be no game on Saturday at MoilfiH
owing to the polo match.
The Managers.
Hannibal 8. Canario will be the
manager Of the Pirates, with Bill In.
man. formerly ofsthe Japanese, as the
| captain. Sergeant Lester will have
charge Of the 1st-32nd or Schofield
Blues, and Manager Stewart will head
the Ruger Giants. Kim Luke will lead
the Chinese team. .
1t might be said that II these ag
gregations can get together ard give
the fans the best baseball possible,
without haggling, the reorgan
lied Oahu-Servfce League will make
big success. This is the one important
point to be taken into consideration,
and if followed out, prospects appear
unusually bright for the future Of the
national pastime.

Sadayasu and X. Tanaka finished sec
Ond to Greig and Bell in the morning
round with SO. The two low teams
were to play off in the second round.
The Japanese pair got in trouble
early in the match and finished up
with III.
The links were in excellent condi-
ton and a number of good scores
were made during the day. although
many OF the golfers had not played
for some time, due to the fact that
the course was closed, An excellent
lunch was served to the players at
noon time.
Algie Halls was elected president
Of the Honolulu club at a meeting at
noon. J. l. B. Greig was named as
vice president: S. J. Todd was elected

Three Real stars
Miss Burns and Miss Cowells have
appeared before In Honolulu, and both
carried off the honors with but little
opposition. Honolulu has longed to
see this pair in action in one race,
and this will happen, and better than
that q third entry who has defeated
the two coast mermaids, will also ap'
pear N the various events.
VT Rawlins made q big stroke
when he secured these three swim
mers for the meet. II was expected
that Miss Galligan would make her
appearance here, but 1t was not
thought that any other feminine stars
from the mainland would be present

when Rawlins returned from the
mainland, and announced that the two
coast girls would come with Miss Gal
ligan, feminine swimming was given
4 big boost here, and in justice to
the president OF the A. A. u, who
has met with opposition, il may be
said that arranging for the feminine
stars was q good piece OF work, and
may mean more for swimming In the
future than one can forsee at the
present time.
Palama Meet Boosts
The recent meet held at Palama Set
tlement, and the plano for big fem
mime affair at the Y. M. c. A. have
boosted the game among the fair sex
here. and It il certain that the three

tance was made March 5. 1916, in Phtla-
delphia, when Olga Dorfner. swimming
in a twenty-yard tank. covered the
distance in sos 1-5. Miss Burns swan

A new worlds swimming record was
set here yesterday. when Miss Claire
Galligan of New York won the wom-
ans national 5O0-yard championship in
