Gossip About Events of National
Importance' and the Persons
Who Are in the Head
Liner Classes.
SAX FRANCISCO, Nov. 8. — The
recent activity of the girl swimmers
of the state in negotiating the swim
across the Golden Gate and San Fran
cisco bay has given rise to the inter
esting question: “Is the woman ath
lete more tenacious and determined
in what she sets out to do in any line
of sport than the male athlete?"
Attention h is been attracted to the
question for the reason that two pro
minent athletic experts are at vari
ance in the matter. George James,
a high official long connected with the
Pacific Coast Athletic Association, the
local branch of the national organiza
tion, takes the affirmative side of the
argument. Sid Cavill, swimming in
structor of the Olympic Club, and one
of the famous brothers who invented
the Australian crawl stroke, takes a
negative view.
Says Janies: "I do not think there
are eight men in the ",S00 member
ship of the Olympic Club who could
swim the Golden Gate like these girls j
did."
Sid Cavill replies: “I can produce I
eight members of the dull who actual- |
lv have swum the gate, and can name
a dozen who will do it any time the
event is arranged. Women athletes
have achieved nothing in the past to
prove the James theory. All the most ■
exacting ordeals ol endurance and sta
min a on land and water have been en
acted by men. Women have already
done some big tilings and arc playing
an increasingly important part in ath
letics, but the suggestion that men
are less tenacious in competition is
preposterous."
Cavill differs from ihe many who
hold that women stand cold water bet
ter than men. He contends that the
power of human resistance to the ef
fects of cold water is a question of
each individual case, and that neither
sex has any superiority in the matter.
Coach Hugo ISezdek, of the Univer
sity of Oregon, is the latest recruit
to the ranks of those w ho for some ]
time past have favored the idea of
forming a Pacific coast intercollegiate
football conference which will include
all colleges of California, Oregon and
Washington. Under the present play
ing schedule two te itns which have
an equally impressive record of games
for the season may not be scheduled
to meet, which leaves the question of
actual superiority undecided. Such
was the case last season when Wash
ington State College and the Univer
sity ol Washington, generally admit
ted to be the two strongest teams on
the coast, had no scheduled game.
With the return of California insti
tutions to the American game such a
conference would take on an added
interest, for the reason that it would
be intersectional. There are approxi
mately a dozen teams which are
deemed worthy of consideration in
such an arrangement, and it is not
thought that there would lie any dif
ficulty in arranging a comprehensive
schedule of games which would leave
no doubt as to which eleven was en
titled to the premier gridiron honors
of the coast.
Of the larger institutions of learning
on the coast, Stanford University is
the only one which has stuck to the
Rugby game aside from its smaller
neighbor, Santa Clara. A recent state
ment issued by President. Wilbur of
Stanford, makes it clear that ttie Palo
Altans will not lie permitted to take
up th.- Ante A. in game and they are
thus eliminated from consideration.
With their two years' contract to play
Stanford expiring this season and with
prospects of only this one intercolle
giate game in a season, there are
many who ueueve u i nuiiva v iui.i
is likely, to turn to the American game
next year in order to get more Inter
collegiate competition.
With the c lose of the Pacific, coast
league baseball season, Honolulu now
is in line to have an opportunity to
watch the professional players in ac
tion. According to present arrange
ments thirteen men, including botli
major and Pac ific coast league players
will sail for the Hawaiian islands on
Tuesday, where they will play a series
of games with a number of island
organizations, including the Twenty
fifth infantry, U. S. A„ and the <’hi
nese All-Stars. The invading players
will be gone for six weeks.
The rapid growth of gold in San
Francisco has made the nine hole mu
nicipal course now being used totally
inadequate to accommodate all the
players who are anxious to enjoy the
game. Immediate necessity for en
larging the course is urged, and a big
committee of citizens has been formed
to seek ways and means of having an
additional nine holes added to the
• .■jo. The proposed new course al
ready has been surveyed and the lo
cation of the holes laid out, hut money
is necessary for putting the grounds
In condition and constructing the fair
way, greens and hazards.
Albert Hartman, who pitched base
ball for the Tacoma team of the North
western league, has returned to the
Washington State college, where he Is
taking a course In architecture. Hart
man was captain of the Washington
State College team when It won the
conference ebamptohship last year.
Advertising
Surely
"Pays.
By BREEN.
The biggest business
enterprises in this coun
try were built upon ad
vertising. None will
deny that. Newspaper
advertising is the most
potent of all. The money
that is spent annually in
the newspapers of the
United States is enor
mous.
Enormous as it is, the
return is tenfold. And
yet one occasionally will
find some self sufficient
business man who will
declare he doesn’t need
advertising.
Every man in every
business needs advertis
ing. Some need it more
than others. It is non
sense to say that a cer
tain article sells itself.

Keep Tour
Name ‘Before
The Public.
By BREEN.
Don’t suffer from ego.
You may think that
ever) body in town knows
where you are located
and what you have to
offer. Don t make this
grievous mistake.
1 he public is fickle.
The publ ic is forgetful.
It needs to be continually
reminded where you are
and what you are doing.
If you don’t let it know
through the columns of
a newspaper it soon will
transfer its trade.
Don’t think your busi
ness “so well estab
lished’’ it doesn’t need
advertising. New York’s
biggest bank seeks ad
vertising. It probably is
as “well established" as
most enterprises.
i
Don’t Be a
Calamity
Howler.
By BREEN.
If business is a bit
poor don’t cry that the
country is going to the
bowwows. Things will
come out all right.
When business life is at
a low ebb newspaper
advertising will help sus
tain it. When the finan
cial and business de
pression was at its height
a Pacific coast merchant
spent $ 100,000 in a
newspaper ad. campaign.
I he results more than
justified his optimism.
The Wall street
maxim is, “Buy when
everybody is selling; sell
when everybody is buy
ing.” If one wants to
buy or sell anything he
consults the newspapers.
