TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1910. 15 DUKE KHUIiADKU IS CULLED QUITTER Honolulu Sports Writer Has Sharp Pen for Swimmer. BACKBONE WEAK, CHARGE Hawaiian Taken to Task Tor Refus al to Compete With Ross and Others at Recent Meet. . BY HARRY EDDAS. Duke Kahanamoku, one of the greatest swimmers ever produced. Is dt-cidedly in "dutch" in the islands as the result of his refusal to take part in the competition against Norman Ross, "Stubby" Kruper and other Mars who competed in the recent meet in Honolulu. While the duke was in this country last year he did not take part in any real races and when he did tackle some outside competition he insisted on handicap races only. It was the prevailent opinion then that the once great duke was through and the tanksirle experts would have bet their bankrolls that Clarence Lane, the young Hawaiian star, could take Kahanamoku's number in the 100 yard event. Leonard Withington, sporting edi tor of the Pacific Commercial Adver tiser, published in Honolulu, recently wrote the following criticism of the Duke: "The duke has quit cold. "Faced with the stiffest competi tion in the world in a swimming meet which has attracted attention wher ever swimming is popular, he has re fused to enter the fall swimming meet afler Norman lloss, "Stubby" Kruger, George and Frances Cowells Schroth have been brought thousands of miles to meet the local talent in "what promises to be one of the finest aquatic carnivals held in the islands. Sore Muscle, Duke's Eicnse, "The man who has received local, and even world-wide adulation, pages of publicity and many honors, whose picture is featured on the Hawaii Tourist bureau booklets and letter heads, has pleaded muscles hardened from rowing that prevent his being at top standard. "Duke Kahanamoku is a swimmer. Ife has received his honors for swim ming. He knew the fall swimming meet was planned long before the resatta. He knew that he would be expected to lead the representatives of Hawaii in the carnival. He went into rowing and now he is not willing to stand the gaff. "The visiting swimmers have shown themselves good sports. They have entered generously, so that the public can see them swim in many races. Tlie local swimmers, except Duke, are doing their parts. He sulks in his tent and talks about muscles. What he needs is backbone. "The sporting editor of this paper was approached by members of the swimming committee and asked whether he would protect the duke in ease the latter was a good sport and entered despite the muscJes. The re ply was that, if it were shown that the duke was really handicaped by 'rowing muscles' or was in poor con dition, this paper would be glad to recognize his sportsmanship, say in advance that he was in the condition which he was proven to be in and in case of his defeat call attention again to the facts without detracting from the work of the winner. "But that was evidently not enough for the duke, if the committee re ported it to him. He did not prove to ba so much of a sport, so the truth is now clear. Sport Not Hurt. "When it became known that the Advertiser meant to tell the public the facts about the failure of the duke to enter the coming meet, some of the committee members pleaded that it would hurt the sport. "To them the Advertiser replies that for Hawaii not to repudiate the duke's action will hurt .the sporting reputa tion of the islands far more. The quitting o the duke will be heralded far and wide in the press. The wire less will carry it to the mainland papers and correspondents will write of it. The swimmers will take back the word. Our whtole programme, in tended to make the crossroads of the Pacific the- swimming capital of the world will fall like a pack of cards when it is known that our swimming idol has feet of clay and that we are too blind to see it. "We owe it to our ewimming guests to show them that their eportsmanship is recognized and that we demand no less of our own. "Some of the committee say that Hawaii has done very little for the duke. Since when has it become the thing that the world owes an ama teur athlete a living for his sport? If it does, the structure of amateur sport falls in ruin. After the pres ent demouement who will have the hardihood to say that Hawaii owes the duke anything? "Others of the committee excuse the duke's failure to come across with a clean-cut action and his lack of a sufficient job by saying that he 'is a Hawaiian. "The Advertiser protests in the name of the Hawaiian people, whose members are self-supporting and many of whom are well-to-do. The race has too much self-respect to let a lur like that go unchallenged. The Hawaiian people will be among the last to back up a slacker or a. loafer, whoever he may be. "The duke has had his chance, and he passed it up. The chance of his being sent to the Olympics in 19:10 is gone and Hawaii will be ready to welcome some new swim ming idol who is worthy to repre rent her In the water." KEARNS IS LOSING OUT CURLY LIKELY TO TAKE FULL CHARGE OF DEMPSEY. Negro Heavyweight Being Offered by Louis Parente for Bout With Willie Meehan. Tf Jack Dempsey ever fights again tip. nrnhwhlv will fifrht iinHpr tVt man. a Kement of Jack Curley, according to the latest news from the fistic trust rnntpr Phipn Kearns has apparently worn out nis welcome witn uriey ana the lat ter will he the active as well ah nax- sive manager of the heavyweight I i f lAiircA T-T o -i r n a Its ctallinw ,1 writing letters and posing to the best of his ability. He realizes the value of the meal ticket which he has nursed for so long. But the power behind the fighting throne, meaning Curley. is not at all satisfied with the w a inctL xveax us iiaa ueu cuuuucting the trust affairs, so the big- split looms strong. Personally. Dempsey is said to be strong for Kearns but financially he likes Curley. Big Jack has been the brairs of the pugilistic and wrestling rings for a long time and they do say that he has the power to make the scrappers and grapplers do anything he wants them to do any time he lifts his mitt and passes the word. It is rumored, hinted and alleged that Kearns wants to steer Dempsey out of the proposed match with Joe Beckett in New Orleans on March 17. Jack would rather bring the big fel low, to San Francisco for a four-round tile with Meehan but that racket seems to be knocked in the head. The moral of this story is: The more managers a fighter collects, the more trouble he borrows. Despite all the bunk about Dempsey fighting in December the latest word from headquarters has is that he will not appear in the roped arena until March, moving picture work taking up his time until then. Before Demp sey won the title he and Kearns were profuse in the statements that It would not be the stage or anything of that ilk for Dempsey and that the latter would rather fight than eat. Dempsey has evidently been eating regularly since stowing Big Jess in the pugilistic scrap heap but as for his fighting it has been nil. He has received plenty of offers and about 50 heavies have offered to meet him but he has turned them all down. He might be spared for refusing to take the public's money to see him box some of the "suckers" but still there are some pretty handy men with the mitts in the lot that might give the champion a worthy argument. z. Harry Wills, the negro heavy weight, who is rated only below jfack Dempsey by many of the leading critics, is now in San Francisco hunt ing for trouble. Wills made the Jump from Tulsa, Okla., where he won a 15-round decision over Sam Langford. recently. Louis Parente, one of the Bay City promoters, is endeavoring to sign Willie Meehan to meet Wills, but the former does not seem eager for any of the latter's game. About five years ago Wills gave Meehan a good lacing but Willie is a much better boy now and may take a chance at the "big smoke" in a four round bout next Thursd-iy night. Kid Williams, . ex-bantamweight champion of the world, is 'now eo journing in Los Angeles. Williams has not engaged in any ring battles for several months and may never enter the raing again. Ole Anderson, the Tacoma heavy weight, who is on his way south to box for Tommy Simpson in Oakland, worked out three rounds yesterday at a local gymnasium with Bobby Ward, the St. Paul lightweight, and showed up to good advantage. Anderson will leave for San Francisco tonight. Jack White, brother of Charley White, has popped up in New York on a hunt for matches. When Jack was fighting around these parts one could always increase the size of his bank roll by hunting up some poor sap and betting him that the other fellow would whip Jack. As yet noth ing has come to light where anyone lost betting against Charley's erst while brother. Walter Knowlton beat him to a fare-thee-well at the old Rose City club and "home guards" in Seattle, San Francisco and way points did the same. Maybe Jack always bet against himself. Who can tell? Pal Moran, the New Orleans light weight, is planning a visit to the Pa cific coast in the near future. Moran has fought all of the leading lights and may step off in Portland. Ten thousand boxing fans attended a boxing card between amateurs working in San Francisco shipyards in the Seal Rocks City recently, which speaks well for the game. SOl'SD FANS ARE CP OX TOES i arner- eleh liout Expected to Afford Good Entertainment. TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 14. (Spe cial.) Frank Farmer. northwest heavyweight champion, and Joe Welch, slashing young Californian, are expected to provide good enter tainment when they meet on the six round track before the Tacoma Eagles' club Thursday, November 20. Welch and his manager. George Sharkey, are expected to arrive from San P'rancisco Sunday. Farmer's record during the last two months has been sensational. He has fought and mastered Ole Anderson, Spud Alurphy, Leo Cross and Gunboat Smith so far this season. Welch holds decisions over Billy Murray. Leo Matlock and Johnny Dunn and draws with Jim Barry and Bob Mc Allister. Welch was but recently re leased from the navy. Only 10 days ago he knocked out Ed Warner, who in turn defeated Goat Lavin in San Francisco last Friday. 1 AT oC trap makes I AT OL' TRAP MAKES v ,T& WHtEUS TcjRM VWg yJE, J SO5 MUCH ISiOlSE.

For four stubbornly and savagely fought quarters the elevens surged back and forth across the field with the tide of battle ever changing and fortune favoring first the Cadets, only to change and smile upon the Quakers. It was not until the last five minutes of play that Hill was able to cross the Franklin goal line," but victory should have been theirs earlier in the contest. At the start of the second period Robinson, Hill right end, intercepted a pass and put the ball down on the Quakers' 20-yard line. From there the Cadet backs worked the ball to the three-yard line with A. Hayden bearing the burden of most of the line plunges. Coach Donason then made a change in the Hill backfield, sending in Dick Ball for Heyden. Further progress against the stone wall defense put up by the Franklin line was impossible and Hill was forced to give the ball to Franklin on downs. Churchill Makes Ran. Harry Thomas punted from behind his own goal line and Quarterback Churchill made a nice return to the 15-yard line before he was upset. Day and Johnson slapped the center of the line for yardage and on the next attempt, with only five yards to go, Johnny Johnson twisted his way through the Franklin right wing and crossed the goal line before he was downed. Hill was deprived of a score, however, for Referee Harmon brought the ball back and handed the Cadets a five-yard penalty for their backfield being in motion before the ball was passed. On their next attempt to shove the ball over Hill fumbled the ball and Franklin recovered and punted out of danger. With only a few minutes left to play in the first half Churchill at tempted a place kick from the 35 yard line, but the pigskin went a little wide of the goal posts. Hill kept the ball in Franklin territory during the entire second period. Cook Brcakv Loose. On the first play after Hill had kicked off at the start of the second half Cook, who replaced Harry Thom as in the Franklin backfield, got away for a sweeping run around the right wing and advanced the ball 20 yards before he was tumbled. Johnson in tercepted a pass and the next play cost the two teams one of their most valuable men. Hartman, the Hill cen ter, and Cook, Franklin halfback, were both put out of the game when they engaged in a fistic encounter near the sidelines. Punts and inter cepted passes featured the rest of the third quarter. Fumbles, intercepted passes and punting furnished plerty of thrills for the spectators at the start of the last period and with only five minutes left to play it began to look as if the contest would end in a scoreless tie when Day shot a spiral to Berger who ran the rest of the distance to the goal line. On the kickout a Hill player dropped the ball. In a last minute effort to even up the score Franklin began a barrage of forward passes from the center of the field and after four of the aerial shoots had cooneRted the ball was resting on the Cadet's five-yard line.

Spud Murphy Credited With Draw In Go With Boy McCormick. Big Crowd Sees Card. SAX FRANCISCO. Nov. 14. (ripe CIAL.) Toby Irwin gave a typical "Irwin" decision tonight at Dream land rink when he handed Spud Murphy a draw in his four-round en counter with Boy McCormick. the red headed Irish lad from across the water. Perhaps Irwin wanted to give the home lad an advantage. Cer tainly there was no other reason un der the sun why Murphy should have figured for a moment. The first two rounds were even, but the third and the fourth were all for McCormick. There was a, record-breaking house, chiefly drawn by the main event, but the crowd saw good fights all the way. In the semi-w-indup Tommy Cello just did beat Johnny Conde. Conde put up a good fight for the first three rounds, but Cello was coming at the close and he was entitled to the honors. Willie Robinson, a substitute for Johnny Nunes, beat Johnny Webber. The veteran won because Webber has gone stale. Frank Oldrich and Karl Young went four rounds to a draw. Ben Kruvosky, a brother of Kayo and a beginner, was knocked out in the third round by Ray Rose. Ad Remy got into the winning col umn when he knocked Ray Conway cold in the second. Jimmy Roach applied the K. O. to Benny Contrado in the second round. The fans certainly had a good run for their mohey. I. IRATE CITIZEN" HURLS BOAST FUL WOBBLY TO FLOOR.
