Vh hW he becae a boxer. ntien Espinosa was a little teen-ager back in Cebu in The I nilippines, his idol was his elder and only brother, Bonnie. Avho was then and still is a fine boxer.

atrralw eo wanted to follow Bonnie's footsteps. Reports or victories scored by Bonnie in Manila and other Far eastern cities, enhanced Leo's ambition to enter the But Bonnie did not want him to be a boxer. He wanted Leo irLc and be near his father and mother. Moreover, tS EsPinos was a sailor aboard a boat that plied between the islands in The Philippines, Bonnie thought it would be for the best if Leo stayed back with the family. Leo tried to adhere to his brother's wishes.

But soon his desire ana urge to box overcame him. He began to light in the amateur im and was an outstanding success. He then turned professional, jut out of deference to his brother, he stayed close to home. He did all of his boxing in Cebu in tour and six round bouts. However, it wasn't long before word began drifting into Manila that there was a promising young fighter in Cebu and that he was the younger brother ot Bonnie Espinosa.

The boxing managers in Manila cast longing eyes at Leo. They wanted to sign him up. Some of them sent emissaries or made the trip to Cebu themselves to talk with Leo. Then Placido Borromeo, who was handling Bonnie, decided to bid for the young boxer. Bonnie was happy when Leo decided to join Borromco's stable.

At least, if Leo was to become a boxer he would be near him and in the same stable with him. For Lis first fight in Leo was matched with Young leliciano. The latter's manager thought, Leo, young and inexperienced, would be a soft touch. No one could have been more mistaken. Leo began belting Feliciano from the outset of the bout and won on a technical knockout in the fourth round.

That was about six years ago. Since then Leo has come a long, long ways. 5 Hawaii Pistol Set For July 24 The Third annual Hawaii Pacific Pistol Regional championship match is slated for July 2, 3, and 4 at the Honolulu Police Ala Moana Range.

But Brundage admitted that no satisfactory solution had yet been found to standardize amateur rules all over the world. He said he was disappointed that the I.O.C.

It is apparenj that swimming was not seriously considered as a sport then, for Duke was all of twenty when someone got the idea that he was good, so in order to establish official Hawaiian records, a local branch of the AAU was formed and in August, 1911, its first swimming meet discovered Duke with a national record of 55 45 seconds for the hundred yards, and the athletic world discovered the Hawaiian islands. The Hui Nalu sent its newly acclaimed swimming champion to Chicago, Philadelphia and New York to prove his worth.

Distance men with him were Zen Genoves and the late Dude Miller, under the management of the late Lew Henderson, a naval architect who was acquainted with mainland travel and contacts. Duke easily made the U. S. team to the 1912 Olympiad at Stockholm where he won the 100 meter swim in the record time of 1:03.4 and had placed upon his head by King Gustaf of Sweden, the traditional laurel wreath, symbol of ancient Grecian victory, and which sjill remains his most cherished trophy. In 1915 he made a most successful tour of New Zealand and Australia and in 1916 and '17 won his national titles.

Since he is still Duke we present this article herewith hoping that it may answer some of the questions continually posed by our new generation of swimmers and newcomers to Hawaii.

Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, world renowned swimmer, ambassador of goodwill extra-" ordinary and without "doubt, -Hawaii's favorite son, was born on August 24, 1890, at the Ha-leakala Homestead, the estate of the Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop on King street where now stands the Bank of Hawaii and where also his father was born. Eldest of a family of six boys and three girls, his name is not a title as it might appear to be in many foreign countries. He was named for his father in keeping with an old Hawaiian custom to name a child in hon-of some auspicious occasion, was named Duke in memory of the visit here of Queen Victoria's second son, Alfred Ernest, Duke of Edinburgh, on July 21, 1869. Duke's parents Duke Hala-pu and Julia Paakonia Paoa Kahanamoku each came from an ancient noble lineage closely associated with the Kame- hameha dynasty and no doubt, was prominent in inter-island history for the name ''Kahanamoku" was bestowed upon this family by a powerful alii for their 'part in "putting together the islands." (Literally, Moku means island and Ka Hana, the work.) It is logical and appropriate, therefore, that the elder Duke and his family lived with and served the Princess Pauahi Bishop before he became a captain in the Honolulu Police force. Duke's first recollection of swimming came at the age of four when it was natural for all Hawaiian boys to paddle at will and as a child he spent most of his life at the Paoa beach home and attended the Waikiki school and church that stood on the site of the new Kaiulani Hotel.

From here he went to Kamehameha Academy for boys. Patronized by Hawaii's "Merry Monarch" Kalakaua Rex, rowing was the principal aquatic sport that continued through Duke's boyhood and the keen rivalry between Hea- lani. Myrtle and Hui Nalu crews is a part of Hawaii's history. At the conclusion of a spirited regatta, these crews were wont to challenge each other to relay swimming between the harbor piers. There were no professional coaches in those days but Duke gives credit to his father for all he Grimms other firemen just weren't coming through.
