The Hawaiian gazette., 1903-04-07

! were fighting in Weday's corner when
Agnew went down from terrific blow
in the jaw. He came up, and Weday
went at him again, like a tiger hitting
| him right and left and sending him
clean through the ropes at the back
of the stage, his head striking the wall
with stunning force. Again he came
up before the count and tried to rally,
but smash in the jaw once more
ioored him and Referee Grace gave
Weday the decision. 1t was as fair a
decision as was ever given in ring.
Agnew was game, but he was out of
his class.
The sport opened last night with a
game four rounds between a couple of
Portuguese youngsters who We're in
troduced as st. Clair from School street
and wild Bill' from Kakaako. Bill
was the smaller lad of the two and the
whittier, but he was game and he put up
a nervy battle for four rounds and
earned the decision which Referee
Nichols gave him.
Following this was the scrap be-
tween Soldier Latham and Fireman
Moore. 1t was to have been ten
round go, but it only lasted for three.
Moore, in fact, can hardly be called
at home in the fighting game. He goes
at his man too much as though he
was rushing line OF hose up a ladder
at fire, and taking no account of the
bricks that might fall on him from a
burning wall. That is good fire fight
ing, but 1t will not answer in n twenty
foot ring. Latham got out of Moore's
way when he made his first rush, with
his head down. After that, he gen.
orally stopped him with a punch in the
jaw, when he didn't catch him around
the waist and half pick him off the
floor, thus neutraliZing what well
known statesman who sat at the ring
side called his bull PUSHES" Latham,
in fact. let his man go on for two
counds, winding him pretty thorough
ly. and then he was starting in to finish
him at leisure when Moore. who was
too groggy probably to know what he
was about, hit him in clinch. That
ended 1t. and the referee had given
Latham a decision when Kid DeLisle,
who was behind Moore, jumped into
the ring and seemed inclined to mix
things when Deputy Sheriff Chilling
worth threw him out bodily. And that
action on the part OF the second gave
Latham the decision the second time,
under the rules.
