HAWAIIAN MERMEN

Such Is the Opinion Formed BY
Coast Swimming Critics
During Present Tour

Late San Fra nCisco papers received

Here are II few excerpts on the Ha-
waiian boys. under the San Francisco
date of their publication:
SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-two
more world records were strung up at
Neptune Beach yesterday afternoon by
the Hawaiian crew of swimmers. Duke
Kahanamoku clipped a second off c.

that time secretary Of the A. A. u,
cahIed Honolulu that records were not
smashed by seconds A young Hawaii
mn ltai cracked the existing record for
the century swim 10y five seconds, and
it was months before Sullivan would
allow the mark to stand on the record
books
Duke Pa0m Kahanamoku was the
rOungStrr who lowered the record by
FIVE fulI seconds, and his performance
in 1911 startled the aquatic world.
The next year he journeyed to Stock
holm and there met the world 5 best
nutators, returning with new record
for the 100 meters. Since that time Duke
has set II number Of new records and
in his last big meet created two new
/ world IS marks in the so and 100 yards.
! His records for these distances are %
and 50 seconds, respectively.
Few athletes attain world 5 records

established world : record in the 100.

and since that time the boy has set q

Walter McCredie, who, once upon a
time, visited Honolulu with the Port
land Beavers, since kicked out of the
Pacfc Coast League, has with his Salt
Lake eBes fallen from grace. They
have, also, lost the leadership Of the
Pacific Coast League.
It all happened yesterday when Salt
Lake lost and Los Angeles and Vernon
won their games. The Angels ascend
ed to station No. ! and the Tigers like
wise went up. and both of them carried
on over the top Of the McCredie crew,
for the Bees are now third on the list
Two Of yesterday s games were fair
enough, judging by the scores, but one
was frightful affair, also having in
view the figures Of the score totals.
Playing at Oakland. the Bill Essick
Tigers from Vernon had the audacity
to actually shut out the home Del
Howard AcOrns; scOre-Nernon l, Oak
land 0. This makes two for Vernon
and nothing for Oakland.
At home the Wade Kilifer Angels
defeated the visiting McCredie Bees;
scOre-I.os Angeles 1, Salt Lake 2. The
two clubs have broken even so far in
the series, each having won and lost a
game.
1t was at Sacramento when the once
lovely and meek Seals Of Mr.. Graham
trounced the Bill Rodgers Raw Meat
Eaters, the score after everything had
been done and said reading-San Fran
cisco IL, Sacramento 3. The Solons
have lost both games Of the series.

AMERICAN WOMEN DOING
RED CROSS WORK IN LONDON.

American Red Cross activities in
England cover a wide field, ranging
from a contribution of $953,000 (f200,-
0O0) to the war work fund of the
British Red Cross, to the promotion
of social welfare work involving wo-
men and children. They include also
the gathering and distributing of sup
plies for shipment to France and Bel
GUM.
The London chapter, of which Am
bassador Page is president and Mrs.
Whitelaw Reid is chairman, operates
a workshop where about 1000 women
are employed in making dressings,
bandages, splints and other hospital
necessities. About one-third of the
work force is American, the rest Brit
iSh.
The London chapter also maintains
St. GATHERINGS Lodge Hospital for Off
GERS, with 40 beds for orthopedic cases.
Other chapter activities include the
distribution of books for American
soldiers in France and American sail
ors in European waters, entertainment
for American soldiers and nurses in
London and the maintenance of a club
house for nurses.

ARMY OFFICERS WIVES
WORKING FOR RED CROSS

Wives of army officers are setting
the pace in providing comforts for the
soldiers. AT the various United States
army posts they are knitting assidu-
ously, supplementing their own work
with Red Cross supplies in order to
give every man who goes out from
the forts complete sets of knitted gar
ments. In addition, they are turning
out vast quantities of surgical supplies
for the Red Cross.
AT Fort Jay, Governors Island, a
Red Cross auxiliary meets every
Thursday at the commandments resi-
dence. The group, composed of a
score of women, spend the day making
congresses, folding bandages or roll
ing gauze.
Wives of officers at Fort Hamilton,
have with the help of the Red Cross
fitted out a regiment of soldiers going
overseas with complete outfits of knit
ted garments.
At Fort Totten, Mrs. Aston Hamil-
ton, wife of Colonel Hamilton, COM
handing the post, and a group of army
women, began last fall to knit for the
soldiers, and not a man sailed for
France from this point without being
fully supplied with knitted apparel.
