Huihui assisted by kahauielio, wa
hilani and Kupa, tapered Off ms prep
aration in the hall of the WlgWam
Athletic Club. He looks to be nara all
over and will face Sullivan in better
physical condition than was the case
at their first meeting.
AS to the outcome of the two main
events there is considerable specula-
ton in sporting circles. The changed
conditions calling for straight Queens
henry rules should favor Huihuis pc
culiar style of fighting. Still. there IS
no reason for supposing that he won't
be able to keep away from the natlVe
or to protect himself when he does
happen to get into clinch.
Huihui's chance lies in getting in
close and driving one of his terr1nc
body punches home, following it up
with hook TO the jaw while the white
boy is temporarily on queer street or
going back.
From a purely boxing standpoint
Huihui is outciassed by Sullivan. The
native is game, however, and showed
in his last fight that he can take al
awful beating. He possesses punch.
moreover, that has to be guarded
against first. last and all the time.
Against Sullivan he showed to signally
poor advantage and did not produce
one iota of the form he displayed in
his battle with Murphy. He allowed
Sullivan TO make a chopping-biock of
him and used no judgment whatever in
the matter of taking punishment.
Sullivan's GOODNESS had much to do
with his last victory. That he viii
display this same desirable quality to-
morrow night. is not to be doubted
He is also a crafty fighter and now
that he has taken Huihui's measure
will probably go into finish his man
from the start These tactics viii also
be adopted by Huihui and if the fight
goes over seven rounds. it will greatly
surprise the cognoscendi.
The McFadden-Yo ung Nelson bout
is attracting quite as much attention
as the Huihui-Sullivan contest ana
both men have legions of admirers.
The go has simmered down to a ques
ton if McFadden's experience can off
set Nelson's aggressiveness.
IT is unlikely that McFadden will
knock Nelson out and many people
look for the fight to go the limit.
Others expect to see Nelson drop the
sorreI fighter in short order McF'ad-
den has taken no chances on the score
of condition and will face Nelson a
very different man than when he en-
tered the ring with Eddie Tate.
The Kahaulelio-Abe Nelson affray
should be business from the tap of the
gong. The sailor has improved some
but will have to fight all he knows II
he wants to break even with the wild
Swan"
