IRISH CHAMPION TALKS
Maher is Confident He Will Whip
Marshall, Chas. Norton's Proteqe.
de VIII G oIn Training ut A Atlantic city
in Two Weeks-Also Fights Win
ner of Kflrain-O'Donnell Battle.


Those of the sporting fraternity who
have been crying hard times and the rapid
decline OF the boxing interests orthe coun-
try have certainly not included in their
list of broken-down ''scrappers" Mr.. Peter
Maher, the champion OF Ireland.
Maher is one of the few prominent fight
ers who does not do his scrappDg in the
newspapers he backs himself with his
own money, quickly agrees to any terms
the other side may propose, if they are
within reason, and then gets into trim to
put his M an out as quickly as possible.
His most recent match calls for twenty
five round contest with Bob Marshall, the
champion of Scotland. The latter has
been touring England, meeting all corners
under the management OF Mike Haley,
and declares his iuteution of challenging
the winner of the Corbett-Fitzsimmou
battle.
Besides this battle Maher is down for a
six-round contest with FitZsimmons before
the kaleidoscope some time in June.
Another engagement which he has on
the list is his battle on May 29 with the
winner of the Eilrain-O 'Bonnell fight,
which takes place next Monday before
the Seaside Athletic Club.
Maher has been showing here all this
week and when seen last night looked fit
to fight for mans life as he stood then,
and was as ready TO talk as ever
When asked as to his coming fight he said:
81 don't expect to have any trouble at
all in putting Marshall out He has been
meeting all comers in England, but has not
done any work that stamps him as being
q first-class man.
''As TO my other fight" he said, "I
will meet either Kilrain or ODonncll,
whichever one should win, and think !
can give either one OF them pretty stiff
argument.
Il expect to go in training III about two
| weeks. / viii disband my company in
Pittsburg and 20 direct to Atlantic City,
where ] viii train"
"Do you think you will challenge the
winner OF the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight?'
| he was asked.
II can hardly say at present. he re
piled, las that battle at this time looks

does come off / won't he far away"

WHERE WERE The JUDGES 4?
They Make An Impossible Decision
In the First Event.
Dispatch Runs a Remarkable Race,
Making Up over Twenty Lengths.
Bob Is a Good Two-Y ear-OId.

That there is something wrong with the
eyesight OF the gentlemen who preside IN
the judges stand at Alexander Island is
certain. If not they We're surely asleep
yesterday at the finish of the first race.
The race was at five fgrlongs, and Elm
stone was made a hot favorite, closing at
even money He was heavily played by
those ''in the know" as the result proved.
Reynard was also played in the full place
books.
At the finish everybody on the track
with the exception of the judges caught
Prince klamath, a 40 to l shot, first by
a nose, Elnlstone second, two lengths in
front of Mamie r., who was at least two

days OF Gloucester when The judges placed

Comfortably seated in Convention Hall
yesterday afternoon were about 800
of the local fans and admirers or the
national game, who came as much out
of curiosity as to see the game played
between the Washingtons and Bostons
at Boston, as demonstrated by the Comp
ton electrical system
AS the game progressed the interest in
creased, and with every hit or stolen base
joy made itself manifest, and just as at
National Park when a local famed or
flied out. means and groans emphasized
the regret.
The system is wonderful one, and
will no doubt give the local admirers OF
the game much satisfaction as suusti-
tute for the real thing, The game will
be duplicated at Convention Hall upon

Convicted by Their Own w rangIing.
Reputable Bookmakers Leaving.

The racing at the Island track yesterday
was of the customary caliber. Fayorites
were beaten in four of the six races, and
the bookies re aped a harvest
The number of pencilers at work was
eleven This is about half the number of
"a couple Of weeks ago.
The opening event was spin of five
furiongs, run out OF the chute. Elmstone
was backed by all the faithful, and he
went to the post the favorite. At the
finish it looked a certainty that he had
been beaten out by Prince klamath, but
the judges hung out the favorite's number.
FATAL HESITATION.
Had this decision been reached promptly
the majority OF the crowd would have let
the matter pass butit was made only after
lot of wrangliDg, during which the
crowd frettsd and rumed.

saying that it was stupidity is being ex-

HAWAII BASEBALL LEAGUE.
The Alumni Club Are Admitted and
the Athletics Withdraw.

There was an interesting meeting
OF the Hawaii Baseball League this
afternoon ia the office OF w. f. Al
len. There was a full attendance,
there being present, besides Presi-
dent Allen and Secretary Spencer, J.
CAMEL and Harry Wilder, Stars; J.
Winter and j. A Thomson, A,h.
lstics; f. j. Tesla and Geo. Clark,
Uuknowns, and s. Mabuka and +.
Beckley, represent atives from the
Kamehameba Alumni
Consideration of the application
OF the Alumni for admission to the
league was the object Of the meet.
ing. Thompson renewed bis ohjec-
ton and was seconded by Te.ta.
There was considerable discussion,
the main contention OF the opponents
To the proposition being that the
Kamehamehas, knowing that there
was to he a baseball season this year,
did not enter until tb" last moment.
When the Rams did form nine
they took four players from the Ath-
l-tics, throwing the latter club out.
Finally Thompson withdrew his ob
lection aud made motion that the
Alumni be admitted.
Delegate Testa said that as the
Alumni representatives had not
"takeu the hint" he would second
the last motion. The vote resulted
as follows:
Ayes-Thompson, Winter and
Camel.
Noes-Testa, Clark and Wilder.
As the vote was tie President
Allen cast the deciding ballot. He
voted aye.
Captain Thompson stated that the
Athletics withdrew from the league.
Secretary Spencer Immediately
arose aud rendered his Immediate
resignation. He felt that he could
not stay with the league any longer.
The Kamehamehas had acted in an
unsportsmanlike manner. They had
been bulldoziug the league from the
very time they entered. They broke
up the league last year and now
they come in at the last moment,
when everything is ready, and break
up the Athletics. They want to
rule the league.
j. w. Winter was spoken OF o.
successor to Mr.. Spencer.
