4 Tonight. at the Orpheum. Australian
Murphy will try once more to get the
decision from Barry. the local cham
pion. The contest is set for fifteen
rounds and will undoubtedly be well
worth witnessing.
In the previous meeting, while Barry
won, Murphy put up a good attack and
defense and proved himself a clever
boxer. He seemed lacking in staying
power and was evidently unable to
properly recuperate between rounds
His explanation of his defeat, modestly
made, was to the effect that he under
rated Barry's power of receiving pun
ishment and made the fatal error of
playing his antagonists own game.
This excuse has been accepted by
many who believe Murphy the cleverer
man of the two and think that he will
be able to keep away from Barry's
infighting propensities and greatest
strength, and secure the decision on
points.
Both men are in good shape and both
confident. Barry, it is thought, viii
adopt fresh tactics himself and try to
mix up matters from the start in an en-
deavor to wear Murphy down early in
the contest. The winner will in all
probability be challenged by Mike Pat
ton a husky and shifty boxer who has
been awaiting an opportunity to get
a match.
Aside from the main event the pre-
linninaries are of more than usual in
terest and are all participated in by
reliable men. The principal preliminary
will be a six-round affair between Cas-
tro and Modlin, who have met before on
= To- raft ,cr
slightly the best of it. Castro is a
slayer and strong one and the bout
viii be full of excitement to the finish.
Silva, the burly Portuguese, whose
muscles appeared to the admiration of
local ring gatherers some time since
when he demolished his opponent in
short order with vigorous. if some
what unscientific swings, is matched
against Allen, who is prophesied to be
fully a match for the brawny Punch
bowlite, although the latter has much
improved of late.
Two heavy-weights, averaging 200
pounds apiece, who are either of them
capable of furnishing good sport, are
matched against each other and the
result is said to be likely to be draw,
though both are determined to gain
decision.
$50. Larry Dee and Jack Weday will
act as timekeeper and referee respec-
lively.
Basketball at z. M o. a. Tonight.
There will be two games of basket
ball at the Y. NJ. G. A. tonight, the
first game, at 7:3O, between the Leahi
and Iolani teams, and the second be-
tween the High School and Comets.
The High School team is a strong
leader in the Junior League, having
four victories and no defeats to its
credit, the Comets taking second place
with two games won and two lost.
Each team has two more games to play,
and the High School ought to win out,
unless the Comets and Iolanis. when
they play next week, show up stronger
than they have done in previous games.
Two of the High School boys have
already been spoken for the Senior
League, and it looks as though the
whole team might be scattered among
the Senior teams.
The Senior League is scheduled to |
start Immediately after the close of the |
Junior, and will be made up of four, |
and possibly five teams.
