In the fourth contest John Andrews.
the champion welterweight of Honolu-
In faced Joe Gonsalves a Portuguese
and the champion of the PunChbowl
pugs. The latter is fully thirty-fivo
pounds lighter than his opponent but
nevertheless he started in with Sc
rics Of bounds and jumps that were
/ surprising. Andrews kept following
him around the ring and the sparring
was mostly at the ropes. GOnsalves
Caght Andrews several quick right and
left hand swings in the jaw which
were heartily applauded. There was
any amount of clinching, Andrews con
stantly lifting his opponent clear of the
floor. The wind-up did not satisfy the
referee SO he ordered another round
and then awarded the decision to Con
salves.
In the fifth contest. the Army and
Navy engaged in strife. Caulfeld repre-
senting the former and Jack Hopkins
the latter. The men were very evenly
matched and the result was one of the
best exhibitions of the evening.
The sparring was quick. the Arm!
man invariably taking the lead. In
the first round there were body blows
swings and jabs in the stomach and
swings in the face. The second rounl
was faster still. Hopkins rushing his
opponent. Caulfeld did some clever
ducklng invariably escaping the heayi-
est swings attempted by the soldier, in
the third round, the sailor was more
aggressive, the soldiers face suffering
in consequence thereof. The wind-up
was perhaps the best of all The sol
der was repeatedly hit by his oppo-
nent. The contest was decided a draw,
The sixth contest between Jimmy
Fox. the well known local boxer and
Jack Weedy, the eX-champion welter-
weight of the Navy, was by far tho
most clever exhibition of the evening
both men showing their excellent fight
ing and sparring sbility. Fox was TIL
cleverer of the two and by far the neat
, est fighter, although this is no dis
arrangement whatever to Weedy.
In the first round Fox showed at once
his ability as a left hand jabber while
Weedy showed himself heavy hittsl
, and more OF fighter than boxer
There was some very lively sparring
and several clinches. In the seconC
round Fox landed on Weedy with {
} right hand cross counter on the jaw
and kidneys. In the third. most of the
, time was given up to ClinChes. In thu
. wind-up, came the fastest sparring o
, all. Fox tried four separate right hant
swings and every time Weedy duCkeC
so cleverly that he wasn't even touch
ed.
Fox undoubtedly did the best worn
but the referee to keep peace in the IA
mily, declared No contest"
, Previous to the final bout, a contes
between Denver" Ed Smith and hi
friend Con" Mccarthy, Tommy War
rem. the ex-champion feather weight o
the world, appeared in the ring. II,

afternoon and, hearing Of the fight, hat

the audience and then accorded tn
t honor Of acting as referee in the las
. contest.
! Denver" Ed Smith simply toye,
with his opponent, swinging his arm
around in close proximity to severa
7 vulnerable spots just to show the audi
ence that he could II he would. Nc
2 Carthy did his best and got in a few
l blows btu they didn't make any diff
ference to the big man. He just smile,
and walked slowly about the ring, do
ing little sparring now and then.
At the end of the second round
"Denver" Ed thanked the audience ant
promised that there would be Othr' anc
, better entertainments of the kind IL
? the future Then came the seconr
round and the wind-up which wer
much the same as the first part of tn,
match.
,, Taken all In all, the entertainment
given by Denver" Ed Smith and hi
friends was very successful and 1t wa
. demonstrated that there can be giveI
In Honolulu exhibitions OF skill in tn
manly art without any accompanying
roughness. In not one Of the contest
was there a drop Of blood drawn.
