SAN FRANCISCO, June 17.-Steve

Elmer, the pugilistic actor, knocked out
Jimmy Ryan of Cincinnati in the third
and Jimmy Lawler, a clever local ban :

Jimmy Anthony, the Australian cham
pion bantam weight. These were the
results at the Olympic clubs boxing car
nival in Mechanics pavilion tonight.
The attendance was 5000, including q
score of women spectators.
O'Donnell won his fight by good gen.
eralship. In the first three rounds
Greggains did all the work and had al.
the best of the contest. In the fourth
OTDonnell improved in his work and re-
peatedly jabbed Greggains in the face
with his left. Greggains fought for the
body entirely, punching the big Aus
tralian's sides until they were red.
O'Donnell appeared to be playing for a
knockout with his right. The chanca
came in the eighth. In the two previous
rounds O'DonneH punished Greggains
terribly with his left jabs, opening a
wound under the right eye an inch or
more in length, from which the blood
flowed in a Stream down Greggains'
body. In the seventh O'Donnell caught
Greggains on the nose with a left jab.

After these cuts Greggains weakened
fast. In the eighth, after minutes
sparring, O. Donnell jabbed Greggains
on the nose with the left and brought
his right across, striking squarely on
the jaw. Greggains fell as II shot, and
never moved until his seconds carried
him to his corner.
The welterweight between Elmer and
Ryan attracted almost as much atten-
tion as did the contest between the big
fellows. The men had met before and
Ryan got the decision, although Elmer
seemed to have had the advantage. Ell.
mer did not leave tonight's fight in doubt
In the third round he went at his ma r
viciously, and with two we'll directed

his face. He remained down until as

I'm one way or another we are bound to
take Hawaii. 1t has, first of all, the ad-
vantage that it can be annexed without
serious difficulty arising from any
European power. Therefore we can sat-
isfy our desires for some sort of annexa-

complications. Moreover, Hawaii is so
near American that it is quite out Of the
question that 1t should belong to any
other power, and its government is so
weak that it could not seriously resist
If any other power really tries to take
1t. Although not worth much, Hawaii
will make an excellent coaling station,
and it might prove otherwise useful in
our hands. Unless we annex it now
we should expose ourselves to complica-
tions with the Japanese, who will soon
outnumber the Americans in the ISL
