BOXERS DO
MUCH WORK
Choice Array of Mitt
Pushers at the
lighthouses.

| y cu0H a1leihooh Was spent dI DotH
training quarters yesterday afternoon
and at least two of the sparring bouts
developed into small fights.
At the Healani bOat-house the usual
crowd of enthusiasts assembled to
watch Sullivan work out and were
much pleased by the showing he made.
He has not appeared to better ad-
vantage since he commenced to train.
Jim Brown, of the L. S. S. Iroquois,
opened the ball and a couple of lively
rounds ensued.
Then Young Nelson donned the mitts
and went two fast rounds. Although
greatly outweighed and outsized, Mel
son went to his work with a will and
his cleverness at times puzzled his
lanky opponent. This lad has the max
ing of first-class boxer and would
surprise a whole lot of the boys of his
weight at the Coast. 1t is safe to say
that he boxes in better form than any
one in Honolulu today and he has
right and left double swing that is a
dead ringer for the late Iamented
Young Corbett s.
Sailor Morch did the looking-on act
yesterday, but his place was ably taken
by one Abramson, tar from the U. S.
S. Iroquois. "Abe" is a splendidly
built boy and of ideal proportions for
a fighter. He is fashioned along Jack
10 l.; -
where it does the most good. The trou-
bic with him Is that he hasn't yet
learned how to handle himself. He has
peach of a straight jab with the left
but is too awkward to derive anythink
like the benefit from the punch that
he should.
He pitched into Sullivan hammer and
tongs for a couple of rounds and for
time it looked like a Knockout, one
way or the other. Nothing serious de-
veloped, however, before the end of the
bout was signaled.
Sullivan appeared to be in fine fettle
and showed that he possesses
any amount of endurance.
HUIHUI's WORKOUT.
When Sullivan had taken off his
gloves the crowd trailed over to the
Myrtle boathouse, where Huihui has
his training quarters. The
native was a long time showing up and |
it transpired that he had been warming |
up with a punching bag, before coming |
to the boathouse. In this respect he
resembles Jim Jeffries, for the big |
boilermaker has no idea of the matter
Of time in keeping an appointment and |
been a sore point with his trainer, Billy
Delaney.
1t was pleasant waiting on the
lanai of the Myrtle boat
house, however, with its magnificent
view of land and sea and time did not

ng interest was told, pending the arri-
yal of the gladiators.
Wahilani and Huihui were the first
% hook up and went three rounds. The
beginning of the bout was of the
friendly tap order but in the third
'ound the men hvened matters up bit
md some hard knocks were exchanged.
Iuihui did not shape as well as usual

After Wahilani had done his stunt,
