He is great factor in the CONNER

Men from all parts of the country have
come to this section, noted the success
of others, seen the possibilities, became

AFTER HARRY
BAKERS SCALP
Jack MADDEN Seeking
Big Prize-Ring
Game.

The fighters are packing their grips
and soon the dust of Honolulu town
will be shaken off their feet.
Jack McFadden leaves by the s. S.
Alameda He will break into the fistic
game at the Coast and will seek a
match with one of the top-notchers.
McFadden, when an amateur, made
good in several tournaments in San
Francisco and beat boys who have
since gone to the front. He is espe-
ciaIly DESTROYS of meeting Harry Bak-
er, the featherweight who recently OBJ
tanned decision over frankie Neil.
I'm going against one of the good
men, said McFadden yesterday. I've
got all to win and nothing to lose and
If I can break even in a big go I'll
be all to the good as far as the fight
ing game is concerned.
Dick Sullivan will remain here sew
eral weeks longer; then he will also
cross the ferry Some of Sullivan s
friends want him to visit the Colonies
where they think, he could cut quite
a swathe in his class. Dick wants to
get back to California. however, and
saws that he doesn't care whether he
fights again or not.
Dick O'Meara who came here with
Sullivan will remain in Honolulu IN
definitely.

WILL KICK
ROUND BALL

''Socker' practice will commence
next Monday on which day the 7. NJ.
c. A players will turn out at p. m.
at Makiki and it is expected that all
interested will be present.
Last year the Initials put good
team in the field but one which lack
ed experience. This season an effort
has been made to get together as
strong an aggregation of players as
possible and the prospects of the
Christians winning the championship
are much brighter than they were a
year ago.
The Punahous and Diamond Heads
have not held their organization meet
ings yet but they will take place in
the near future.
AS soon as the league teams have
all been organized a general meeting
of the ''socker'' association will be
held.

O'MEARA SAYS GLOVES WERE
DOPED AND referee FIXED

I came down from San Francisco
under agreement with Sullivan to train
him. 1 was to receive % per cent of
his winnings for my services. In the
first fight with Huihui, l got $50. and
in the second fight with the native
received $40 from Sullivan for two
weeks work. 1 got $40 after the Silva
go, $40 after the WEIGH fight. and $19
after the McIlvain contest.
1 brought Sullivan down here as the
local people did not know whether he
could fight or not, and were unwilling
to risk sending steamer passage. ]
have been sick off and on for the last
three months. and though 1 have often
asked Sullivan for financial assistance,
he has refused me saying that his
money was in the bank, and couldn't
get it out.
When discussing the question of a
referee, Sullivan has more than once
said to me, I'VE don't want any one
else but Woods. He will do what we
tell him to; he's got the Office to give
US the best of it,
Now that the fighting game is over
here, desire to let the public know
on what a rotten scale the thing has
been conducted.

ROTH'S GAME
AL. THE WAY
Krumbhaar of Maui Is
Beaten in Tennis
Match.

kAHULUI, Maui, September 90
learning during the past few days how
much they do not know about tennis
This has been taught them by Will P.
Roth of Honolulu who arrived here on
Saturday morning last for weeks visit
on Maui. Saturday afternoon last a
match game. was played on the Pun
meme courts between Roth and c. c.
Krumbhaar of Maui, and although
some good tennis was the result. Roth
won out easily by the score of 81
o. and 6-3. A game of doubles was
then gotten up, Rosecrans of Puunene
playing with Roth, against Messrs.
Krumbhaar and Savage of Puunene
the sets being won by Mgssrs. Roth
and Rosecrans quite handily.
Yesterday afternoon Roth again met
Krumbhaar on H. A. Baldwin's court
at Hamakuapoko, best three out of five
sets. the result being in Roth's favor
about the same as before, the score
being, 6-1, 60, 81, 90. It was evident
that Roth was not obliged to gut his
best game, and that he outclassed
Krumbhaar considerably, still consid-
ering that Krumbhaar has had no OPP
portunity for proper practice since he
has been here on the islands. he put
UP a very good game, and made it in
teresting for both Roth and the spec
tators of whom there were a large
number at both Puunene on Saturday
and at Hamakuapoko on Tuesday.
Roth was entertained on Tuesday by
II. A. Baldwin in long ride out Kea-
nae way on the ditch, and got back
to Hamakuapoko only about an hour
before going on the court to play, and
as he had not been on horse back for
several years was not just exactly in
the best of condition for tennis though
it did not show in his play.
Roth plans to make the ascent of
Haleakala tomorrow in company with
James Dougherty of Honolulu, proyid-
ed Dougherty can spare the time for
the trip. He expects to return to Ho-
nolulu on Friday night by the Kinau.
A visit from some of the best tennis
players of Honolulu several times
year would be a great thing for the
players of Maui as there would then
be a chance to tone their play up some
what. In this regard the visit of Roth
has been great advantage to them.

SIGNALS WERE
TIPPED OFF

The Riverside League game played
at the senior ball ground last Sunday
afternoon and which resulted in the
Chinese Athletics defeating the Pala-
mas by the score of 10 to 2, has been
protested by the losers and their pro-
test has been upheld.
There We're two grounds for protest.
In the first place the rules of the
league called for the game to be played
at Aala Park: Secondly. it appears that
the pitcher of the Palamas had his
signals given away by En- Sue, who
was coaching the Athletics, and who
tipped off the signals in Chinese.
The game. which decides the cham
pionship of the Riverside League, will
be replayed at Aala Park in the near
future.

Although the baseball season at the
ball park is over there will be chance
afforded the public to witness another
game tomorrow afternoon.
At $3.50 o'clock the Diamond Head
Winter League team will line UP
against the other ball players of the
Diamond Head Club and as there are
several cracks in the latter cOrnbina-
ton. a good game should result

The fighting game is dead in Homo
lulu but an aftermath is promised
which should be as lively as any regu-
lation scrap.
If the sworn statement of Dick
would seem that the closure on box
ing has been applied none too soon.
1t would also indicate that the dis
satisfaction at the ringside when the
decision in the Me1lvain-Sullivan fight
was announced, was not uncalled-for.
OMeara's statement is printed for
i what it may be worth and it is now
up to the parties concerned to come out
and defend their regulations for fair
dealing.
If O'NIeara's statement be true, and
the boxing industry in Honolulu has
for some time been threatened with a
Knockout blow, fully as effective as
that dealt it by the Ministerial Assoc
citation.
O'Meara's statement is as follows
SO'MEARA'S AFFIDAVIT.
In behalf of the interests of sport in
Honolulu, 1 hereby make the follow
ing statements:
The fights between Sullivan and Sill
va WEIGH and Sullivan. and Sullivan
and McIlvain were all fixed, either by
an understanding with the referee or
by the gloves being doped for Dick
Sullivan to get the best of it.
Billy Woods, who refereed all three
goes, was only agreed to by Sullivan
on the understanding that he favor
him whenever possible, particularly IN
rough work in the clinches.
The fight with Silva was fought I'M
der straight rules, hitting in clinches
not barred Woods lived up to his
agreement in this fight, and when he
saw Silva getting the best of it in in
fighting warned him If he did not go
easier in the clinches that he would
disQualify him.
The welch fight was also under
straight Queensberry Rules. and here
again Woods agreed before the battle
to give Sullivan the best of it,
McIlvain and Sullivan fought ''clean
break" and though both men broke
this rule on two occasions, the re1eTeS
cautioned McI1vain, but neglected to
warn Sullivan.
In all but the Mc1lvain fight, the
gloves were tempered with.
There were two pairs. regular s.
ounce pair and a small pair weighing
about ounces they were dIstln-I
euished by different colored ribbons.
Sullivan and his friends were parties
to this arrangement, and when the
gloves were thrown into the ring, one
of their representatives would nall
them as quickly as possible and retain
the small sized pair. which were regu-
lar 5zsunce gloves that had been open
ed the padding taken out. and the
leather sown up again.
In the fight with Silva, the Portu-
guese was knocked out with gloves
lighter than the regulations called for.
In the WEIGH fight. WEIGHS mana
ger. Eddie Finn. get hold Of the gloves
first. but fortunately for the Sullivan
people retained the heavier pair, There
is no doubt that this had much to do
with Spider WEIGHS defeat
In the McIlvain contest, brand new
gloves were used, Sullivan holding Nc
Twain so cheapiy that he did not think
1t necessary to resort to doping the
mitts. /

THAT l am not sure of. It is always
