SATURDAY NIGHT BEFORE A
LARGE CROWD OF CITY
SPORTING MEN.

There was record-breaking attend
ance at the boxing events given in the
Orpheum theatre on Saturday night
last, the crowd being so large that
many had to stand. It was distinctly
a popular card that was presented and
the people showed their appreciation
OF the efforts Of the management by
turning out in such large numbers.
There was a very delightful absence
Of rowdyism.
Following is a resume of the nights
fighting:
Joe Santons Porto Rican) VS.. All
Sam (ChineseI -Four rounds. Deci-
sion. draw
Kid Gelp W.. Joe Castro. the "tele-
phone smasher rounds. De-

rounds. O'Meara knocked out in third.
Bill Huihui VS.. Jack Weday-SiS
rounds. Decision. draw.
Dave Barry vs.. Mike Williams--Ten
rounds. Williams knocked out in sec
end round.
In the first fight Santos showed
much better form than on the occasion
when he fought Nigel Jackson. He
quit all his cyclone business and was
very wary. All Sam. the Chinaman
| who fought such a fierce battle with
Apana some time ago. showed a great
deal of head work. The two fighters
were pretty well winded when the
bell sounded for the fourth round
The decision could not have been any
thing but a draw, which decision was
given by Dave Barry, the referee.
Kid Gelp OF Camp Mckinley. went

one of the toughest fights of the even.

the leading. However. the honors

and Greek" Anderson came together
Tor four rounds. In the first round,
Anderson found JacksOn's Jaw quite
often. In the second, Jackson was
pushed through the ropes once. He
came In well at the finish and so evened
up the round. The remaining rounds
we're replete with hard aggressive work
On both sides. Jackson tried for An
derson's wind in the fifth and found
1t. The latter began to lose his grip
land had the fight continued round or
so longer, Jackson would probably
have had him out. The decision was a
draw, though many feel that jackson
had the best Of the fight all the way
through. It is stated by local author
tiles on fistic encounters that had a
decision been given at the end OF the
fifth round. Jackson would have been
declared winner. However, In the
sixth inning Anderson revived enough
TO continue the fighting and force the
referee to declare draw.
O'Meara, n New Yorker, has learned
that 1t does not do to come to Honolulu
with any fy-slapping tactics such as
lie used Saturday night In his fight with
Soldier Latham. This lesson he has
learned well. He was matched for a
fight with Soldier Latham of Camp
Mckinley. He started out with a hula
kui movement and tapped Latham on
the cheeks just as a butter paddle Is

came up in time and then Rugged his
way through the remainder OF this
round. In the third he went down
for good.
The fight between Bill Huihui, the
Hawaiian fighter, and Jack Weday, ex.
champion of the Islands, was the very
best of the evening. The native went
into the ring weighing li7 pounds and
Weday, 157. The latter was too ia,
