The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1905-11-06
FOUR FIGHTERS
BIT THE DUST
BOXING CONTESTS AT THE Or
PHEUM ON SATURDAY NIGHT
PROVED A SUCCESS.

Honolulu's love for the manly art
was again demonstrated on Saturday
night when the Orpheum held a large
crowd anxious to see the fights ar
ranged by Joe Cohen. There were
seven contests i'm ALL four of them end
ing i'm lnock-outs. They were of vary
ing interest from very good to very
bad, but on the whole the show was
decidedly interesting.
Jack McFadden was referee and gave
satisfaction. OF course Larry Dee
was timekeeper.
The bouts opened with two round
go between two smart pickaninnies who
went all the way.
Kid Toy of Punchbowl and Kid Har-
ris of Eakaako fought four rounds 1t
was a good scrap with Harris doing
most of the leading. In the last round
Toy sent Harris to his knees but he
was up again in an instant. The fight
ended with Harris chasing Toy all
round the ring. Harris was given the
decision.
John O'Brien of Punchbowl and
Harry Wilson of Kakaako next dom
ned the mitts but the fight was a farce.
The round was not half over when
Wilson's long left shot out and caught
OBrien on the side of the jaw sending
him to the mat The mat seemed a
pretty good place to O'Brien so he
stayed there until he heard ten" Then
he walked cheerfully to his corner.
A go which was pronounced to be
for the Amateur Middleweight Cham
pionship of Hawaii brought Sydney
Jackson and Carl Leo "the wild swan
of Kallaako" to the middle of the
ring. Leo was much the heavier as
Jackson discovered early in the first
round. He went down and out to
right and left swings on the chin.
Nigel Jackson and John Waialae next
faced the captious crowd Jackson
seemingly to be most unpopular with
n large section of the gang as he was
hooted numerically. 1t was Waia-
lae's fight all the way. The first
round was all Waialae's and Jackson
looked exhausted from the blows show
cred on his body. In the second the
end came really from blow about the
heart which Waialae landed with tell
ing force. Jackson was able to keep
his feet for a few seconds and tried
wildly to land but he went down to
left on the neck. He was counted out.
The comparative lightness of the last
blow caused many to think that jack
son lay down but he was unquestton-
ably out from the results of the for
mer body blow.
Then came the delight of the even
Ing, a six round fight between Sailor
ID 7 Of
Fred Dixon of Kakaako. Lang has
had the gloves on only two or three
times before in his life and he showed
that plainly. Dixon knew more of the
game but not much. The result was
side-splitting. Lang is strong enough
but he had not the faintest idea of how
to land a blow. The fight was called
a draw. Lang may seek comfort in
the reflection that Jim Jeffries made no
better showing in his first ring APP
pearance. He was written down as
hopeless dub but views on the point
seem to have changed.
The best work of the evening was
shown in the last fight of the evening
between Young Nelson and Ernest
Hene for the feather weight champion
ship held by the latter. Nelson open
ed up a bit SNOWY but he soon got
down to serious business. He was
aggressive all through the round and
was plainly looking for an early knock
out. Heine had however, driven him
to his corner as the gong sounded, Mel
son again took the aggressive in the
second but Heine was strong and it
was something of a surprise when he
suddenly caught a right short arm jab
on the jaw followed by a left swing.
Sweet dreams for Heine.
