FOX'S TRAINING
STARTS BADLY

The path of the gentle pugilist is be-
set with pitfalls and 1t is a recognized
fact that as soon as fighter is match
ed he must be on the lookout for
squalls. This rule holds good even in
this small burg.
Fox commenced training for his bout
with Agnew yesterday, and while do
ing the hot foot act over the railroad
ties between the depot and Kalihi,
wrenched his ankle SO badly that 1t
panied him considerably to walk home.
He sought out Lon Agnew yesterday,
and after explaining matters, asked for
weeks postponement of the fight
which was billed to take place next
Saturday night. He was sure Agnew
would not wish to box disabled man,
he said
Agnew SHE'D at a weeks postponment
and discovered that he had to leave for
Hilo on business on Tuesday, Septem-
Der 10TH Finally he decided to do the
magnanimous thing by Fox, and &C.
cfared his willingness to walt until
Monday night, or two days later than
the date originally agreed upon. He
holds to the opinion that man boxes
mostly with his hands.
Agnew's generosity had such good
effect on Fox's game foot that he
skipped away with an imperceptible
limp.
And so an expectant public Will be
kept in suspense two days longer as to
the relative merits OF these two bellfg-
erent young men.

MILE RELAY RACE
FOR LABOR DAY

Since the advent of the relay race tn
the dual meet between Kamehameha an6
Oahu College in March. so much interest
has been shown in this form of race that
it now seems almost impossible to hayS
an athleteic meet without having a. re-
lay race.
The Labor Day sports committee have
gone about their business in the righs
way and the relay race In their program
will without doubt prove a very interest
ing affair.
1t now lies with the numerous athletes
the Labor Day sports a success. Already
ore relay team has signified their inten-
ton of entering and a few more ars
expected to be heard from. This team
is made up of W. Punoho, A Marcailinos
Hanakahi, and 3. Clarke. The team has
never run together. but the men expect
TO be in trim for the event by the tinas
the race is called.
As information TO those whe mighs
wish to make up contesting teams, IL
might be well TO say that the relay race
Is in distance. one mile. The mile how
ever, is divided into quarters, and eack
competitor has to-, run a quarter-nlfle
relay. Generally assInall stick flying the
colors of the competing team, is carried
by the runner. This has to be passed
from runner to runner, in each succeed
ing relay. No competitor Is allowed to
start without having first received the
stick from his fellow partner nor can he
go back of the line drawn at each quar-
ter to receive the stick.
The different unions are talking OF sE-
tering teams, and should this be dons.
the public will have a very interesting
time watching the relay race a Kaliht
team is also spoken of. and If they make
up their minds to enter, 1t will In ..
measure prove the truth of the old say
ing THE more the merrier.''
The track of kapiolani Park Is being
put in shape for the athletic events to
be held next Monday, and a good after
moons sport may be anticipated.

PLANS FOR A
BASEBALL PARK

Plans for baseball field, to be en-
bleachers, are now in the hands OF some
of the old baseball fans, and the scheme
will be crystallized within the coming
week, SO that concrete proposition may
be laid before the baseball associations.
ALI the steps taken so far have been I'M
official, the initiative being taken by the
baseball men.
The plot Of ground selected for the
grounds is in the McCully addition.
Messrs. Ashley & Paris, the owners. were
approached and asked to give figures
upon lot, and they offered to the base
ballists 500 by 400 feet on King street,
just beyond McCully street The plot Is
of irregular shape, and offers splendid
field for the game. The length IS paral-
lei with King street. and there is an
angle which makes the center field long
er than the distance to either of the
other fences.
As soon as the shape of the plot had
been traced the dimensions were sub
mitted to an architect, and he was asked
to make a sketch plan of the improve
ments needed to make the field a model
ground. This included a grand stand
located in the corner on King street,
with winged bleachers down either side.
There win be full suite of dressing
rooms and shower baths in the space
beneath the stand, and accommoda tons
for the concessionaires, who will sell
soda. cigars, and refreshments of the
kind needed by the fans who follow the
game. 1t was estimated that the I'M
provements would cost in the neighbor-
hood of s5,0ea. The land is now covered
in par oy n grove of algaroba trees.
The ground selected for the negotia-
tions, which of course are only in the
preliminary stage, lies convenient To the
street car lines. Officials of the Rapid
Transit Company have been unoffically
notified CT the probable intentions of the
baseballists, and have now under con-
sideration a branch line down Alexander
street and out King street to the pro-
posed grounds. This would mean the lay
ing of about 500 yards OF road The
Tramws IS now has a line of rails out
Beretania street past the car barns. and
should this be disable, the passengers
would be landed within a block of the
ball park

physical director at the Oahu Athletic
Club:
In commencing the study and practice
of the different blows, it is well to study
and memorize the following rules:
Keep a good position at all times.
When your opponent swings at your
headguard.
When your opponent hits straight at
your head, duck.
If your opponent ducks when you hit
straight, swing at him.
If your opponent guards when you
swing hit at his body.
After hitting and getting away, return
TO your position as soon as possible.
Work to the left when your opponent
often swings his left, and hit with your
right
work to the right when your opponent
hits straight and uses his right.
When your opponent uses all kinds of
blows. work to the right and away from
him II on the defensive, and forward
and to the right If on the aggressive.
When you commEce to practice you
should pay particular attention to the
position of the head, the body and the
feet
Before putting on the gloves it is bet
ter to practice the foot work, holding
the body at all times on an even bal
auce. BY taxing q position IN front OF d
mirror, a great deal of good practice
can. be had without an opponent
LESSONS TO PRACTICE
Get some friend about your own height
ard weight and practice, each blow from
twenty to thirty times IN succession be-
fore taking up the next. 1t is better TO
practice with one acting on the aggres-
sive or doing the leading, and the other
to act on the defensive, or countering.
Do not at first try SO much for speed
it is much better to work slowly and get
the positions correct and increase the
speed as you improve.
/. Left hand lead a head. duck and
get away: opponent counters with left
hand straight at the head.
Q. Left hand lead at the body and
duck, get away: opponent counters with
left hand straight at the head.
5. Right hand lead at the body and
duck, get away; opponent counters with
straight left at the head.
4 Left hand lead at the head, duck,
get away; opponent cross-counters at
head with right hand.
Continue each lesson by adding blow,
feint, etc. Master the straight hitting
first. taking up swings last of all
Nothing much can be accomplished
without patience, perseverance and per
sistent practice

HARTFORD WILL Be IN LEAGUE.

Suficient money has been raised to in
sure IIartford's remaining in the East
ern Base Ball League this year. The
franchise will be transferred to a new
corporation, which will assume the In
debtedness OF the present company.
This amounts to nearly $1,000. and the
mon interested want capitalization of
5000. which after paying the old debts
would leave a working capital OF little
over $1,000. Nearly all of~this has been
subscribed and there Is little doubt about
getting the few hundred yet rema lining.
After the meeting OF the corporation
last night IL was decided TO send for VIII
liam Shindle, manager and third base
man OF last seasons team, TO come to
Hartford at once and confer with the
hackers OF the club. When Shindle ar
rives the new corporation will meet and
organize and steps will be Immediately
