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.

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

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.

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.

tainment when they meet on the six
round track before the Tacoma
Eagles' club Thursday, November 20.
Welch and his manager. George

A 15-yard pass from Irve Day to Al
Berger which the fleet-footed left
end made good for 50 yards when he
crossed the goal line in a 35-yard
run through a broken field brought
a 6-to-0 victory to the Hill Military
academy eleven in its clash with the
Franklin high team, yesterday on
Multnomah field in one of the most
desperately-fought games of the sea
son. 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.

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.
