Il Wins From Duke


the honors in the Castle long distance
swim staged under the auspices OF the
Outrigger Canoe Club on SATURDAY
afternoon, winning from Carbis walk,
er and Duke Kahanamoku by about ~
yards. This race was the feature
event OF an excellent program.
Members Of the Outrfgger Canoe
Club said today that they. regret that
/. LANCER was not entered, but state
that his entry was in, and 1t is no
fault of theirs that the Southern Call
fornis long distance star did not com
pete. Both Kruger aud Duke trained
for the race against LANCER and were
much disappointed because the latter
I nafator was not on hand.
"Stubbyn Was Right
III Is doubtful II any swimmer could
have won from Kruger the way the
Healani star was swimming on Satur'
day. STUDY" would have even given
Ross, the worlds champion, a 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 "a good
rub. -. > =.
The outpigeer 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.
AZ constructive criticism, some one Is
at fault. Il was announced that Lam
ger would compete in this event. II
LANCER announced that he would not
swim, early enough, the committee -
al fault for not giving this to the pub.
: lie II is TO be hoped that In the future
the. public will be given the straight
facts. twill be q good thing for the
sport.
Duke Leads ~
Duke and sStubhy" started Off at q
fairly fast clip ct 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
ipg . stroke . second, While kruger
was using even q faster stroke Walk.
81 was back about % yards with An
!. About bali miIe nom the start
Krurer began 70 move tip and passed
DUKE and continued on TO the flag
with good lead. He Increased the
lead by yards going to the finish at
the diving stand. Walker piloted by
4 coach on q surfboard gained at the
last quarter mile and came into the
finish ahead Of Duke by inches. IL
WIS 3 great finish, and Walker made
GOOD IN the last few yards.
He Was Busy
In Justice TO Duke II must be said
that he had participated In padding
races. and after learning that LANCER
would not be entered did not take
things 90 seriously. Duke gives all
credit to kruger for his great race,
md refused to claim any salibi. You
have rot to hand II to Duke on one
s poinf. The long swim isn't his race.
But be always IL willing to 60 in to
help the sport. and this point 10 much
appreciated by the members Of the
Ouff3ggef Club.
