h A. c. CONTESTS
4 GREAT SUCCESS

The gymnasium of the Honolulu Ath-
interested spectators last evening who
had the pleasure of seeing one of the
most interesting ring contests that have
ever been held in Honolulu. Every
thing was run off in clean-cut shape
and the spectators left the hall perfect
ly satisfied with their evenings sport.
The main event ended in a rather UNI
satisfactory manner This go was
between Jack McFadden and S. Kupa.
McFadden put up clever bout and
demonstrated that he is perfectly
familiar with the Tins and outs" of the
game McFadden was not in the best
of condition on account of a large boil
on the left shoulder. Under the cir
cunstances he put up fast contest
and led Kupa in each round. In the
middle of the fourth round Kupa went
down with clean right to the stomach.
Kupa claimed a foul but it was not al
lowed, the judges declaring it mo con-
test From the showing made by Nc
Fadden, Modlfn will have a hard pro-
position to solve.
The first contest ended in the second
round. Harris, who was a trifie larger
than his opponent, had all the best of
it and the bout was brought to a sud
den close with a right swing on the
jaw.
Bettencourt and Wahilani were the
next two that stepped to the center OF
the ring. 1t was a hammer and tongs
affair with give and take methods. The
bout was declared a draw after a fast
and furious contest. Wahilani is a
good game native and improving in
every contest He is a conner and is
bound to make good.
Frazer and Madeiros went for two
fast rounds. This furnished the fun of
the evening and it was a comical affair
Frazer showed that he is willing and
has a good right hand. He is anxious
to box any one his weight.
The club has Modlin and McFadden
matched for New Years eve. These
men will box for the featherweight
championship of the islands.

Fighting Fire In China !.

81 was in Peking,'' said an American
tourist, when a fire broke out a few
doors below the house in which I was
lodging. and at the first alarm I rush
ed out and into the burning structure
to see what could be saved. 1 was at
once arrested, and later on discovered
the Chinese way of fighting a fire.
"a policeman first required an Aft
davit of the head of the household to
the effect that he did not deliberately
set the blaze. and for this purpose took
him before an official half mile away.
A second was stationed to see that no
one removed any furniture until the
papers had been made out.
After a lapse of 40 minutes the fire
men arrived. They looked at the burn
ing house and decided that it was on
fire. After much argument it was
further agreed that it would be
waste of water to try to put out the
flames. Two members, who erected a
ladder and climbed part way up, were
duly reproved for too much zeal. and
after the name, age and habits of the
owner had been taken the fire depart
ment retired in good order.
LAS the flames were unhindered the
house burned to the ground, and when
the owner returned he was beaten by
his nefghbors for endangering their
property. I was held in durance vile
for two hours and then fined 40 cents

was that wiped out old scores of ties,

battle ever fought in the Hawaiian Is

Both teams came on the field con-

The Males took the ball and began
that steady line-sma shing march. They
walked steadily toward the Punahou
goal line. Plunkett with several bursts
of speed ran past the Puns tackle in
fine style. The teamwork of the Ma
lies was a fine feature at this period
of the game. The Punahous played
stiff defense but it was like going up
against q steam engine. Little Ben
Clark drove his team with fine judg-
ment and took advantage of every
opening presented and soon had Ven

gold made grand stand and succeeded
in securing the pigskin. On their sec
ond down the Males fumbled and Turn
er secured the ball and ran for touch
down. There was a dispute as to off
side play on part of the Punahous. As
the Males had made similar offense
the touchdown was allowed. Fuller
missed an easy goal. Score 6-5.
Fuller kicked off to Jarrett who ran
in ten yards. Punahou gets ball on a
tumble. Campbell gets fifteen yards on
a tumble. Puns get fifteen more on q
foul by Males. This carried the ball
to the Males ten-yard line, excitement
at this stage was intense. Males hold
Puns for downs. 'F'reeth kicks ball out

Both Fighters Won.

The Cambridge a. c.. of Boston,
Mass, on Nov. IA held two bouts that
are unparalleled in the history of the
prize ring between Larry Connolly. of
South Boston, and Fred Bryson. Both
men won. Connolly by a knockout in
one round. and Bryson by decision In
ten But fifteen minutes elapsed be-
tween the two contests.
In the first bout after a minute of
boxing Connolly slipped a right hook
over to Bryson's jaw, and he went to
the mat. He was not out but merely
took the count. which he misjudged.
Connolly was declared the winner, and
the crowd, Disguised, began to file out.
Then the boys, realizing the disap-
pointment of the crowd, agreed to box
another bout, the first going to Con-

MALES PLAY PU-
NAhOU SATURDAY

Saturday the long haired fraternity
will buck each other on the new base
ball field. This game will practically
decide the 1904 championship. Hard
work is being done by each team,
neither side leaving anything undone
that might bring victory their way.
Punahou is making a grand effort to
put a team in the field that will be
both strong and effective. They have
a long string of men out every night
and the first and second struggle hard
to make points. They are becoming
faster every day and when they enter
this game they will be playing a whirl-
wind game. Turner. the star halfback,
is again with the team and will be
seen toebetter advantage than when the
Punahous ana II. A. C.s met. Walker
and Fuller have been out in uniform
and the supporters of the team are
wondering whether or not they will en-
ter the game. These two men would
be very valuable additions to the team
They are both cracks at running in
game the team should have no trouble
in circling the Male ends. The team
will suffer on account of Hatch, who
is out of the game for the balance of
this season. Hatch is a great defensive
player and will be missed when it comes
to stopping the fierce bucks of the Male
aggregation. The p. A. C.s are excep-
tionally strong behind the line. They
have two sets of backs that they can
alternate at any stage Of the game.
In this manner they can keep fresh
men to advance the ball. Punahou will
have the advantage of the kicking
game. Judd is booting the oval in
good shape these days and should have
little trouble in outkicking F'reeth.
Benson is still subjecting the Males
to good hard work and is determined |
condition when they meet Punahou.
This team win be seen at its best on
this day and if they play the game that I
they did against the H. A. C.s Puma
flou will have the fight of her life. The
Males have wonderful bucking team
and play well together-they are re-
markabl at holding the ball. They
are sure to score on Punahou. The
only thing that they lack is fast play
If they are beaten it will be because
their opponents are faster men.
This promises to be the hardest fought
contest of the season and If no acct
dents happen it will be a struggle well
worth the seeing.

The Honolulu Athletic Club will hold
it's monthly boxing bouts on Saturday
evening, when the real article of box
ing will be dished up TO the sports. Four
very interesting contests have been ar
ranged and there will be twenty-four
rounds of boxing in all. Those who
were fortunate enough in witnessing
the last show held by this club express
ed themselves as very well pleased and
in fact thought it one of the best af-
fairs ever pulled off here.
The club has been successful in Sc
curing some of the very best talent on
the Islands for this show and some
red hot fighting is looked for Norman
Frazer fresh from Australia, and Ma
deiros of Honolulu viii furnish the main
event OF the evening, and this alone
should be worth the price. These men
will box at AS pounds. They are both
strong and well trained with stiff
punch. Frazer is no new hand at het
business and his work will be watched
with interest. The winner of this bout
will be matched with Bill Huihu for
the next months show.
Kid Betteneourt, who put up such
a rafting good "go'' with Sherman will
box Waihalani, the cyclone native who
demonstrated that he has a punch and
can hit from any position. These two
lads are the real article and when they
start the air will be full of nitts.
Jack McFa dden and Kupa will box
six rounds for a decision. This win
be McFadden's second appearance in a
local ring. The lovers of boxing will
have a good chance to draw a line on
him. He will give away weight to
Kupa, but his experience should over
come the weight.
