The Kams and Punahous are now
tied in the second series of the senior
league baseball season with percent
age of $50. The Oahus and Homo

against their names.
The crowd at the grounds yesterday
afternoon was not nearly as large as
the excellence of the first game mer-
tied. Oahus beat the Kams, to 8, but
the native sons had license to win at
any stage of the nine innings. 1t was

In the second round Wahilani con-
tinued to have the advantage, both men
going at it hammer and tongs The
native landed several effective swing
ing blows and his opponent occasion
ally scored with his left. After the
round was a couple of minutes old the
men clinched and Bettincourt pulled
Wahilani over on top of him, manag-
ing to hit his own head on the floor
in the operation. He lay there until
counted out. He had knocked himself
out by a most original and gamboge-
colored process.
The way was thus cleared for the
main event Nelson and Huihui sec
onded Morch, while McFadden was
esquired by O'Meara- Dick Sullivan and
Bettincourt.
There was a row over the weight at
the start. The articles called for the
men to weigh in at 1873 pounds, ring
side, but Morch tipped the beam at
1341a pounds against McFadden's 12S.
McFadden only wanted to box 10
rounds in consideration of the sailor
extra avoirdupois but in order to keep
faith with the public he agreed to go
the distance if the end of the tenth
round found both fighters on their feet
Referee Billy Woods called the men
together and the fight was quickly on
on a "clean break and no hitting in
the clincheS' basis.
McFadden won as he liked. His left
jabs played havoc with the sailor
countenance and his blows to the wind
were telling in their effect. Morch was
continually watching for a chance to
land Knockout blow but Jack was
too foxy for him and puzzled the blue
jacket with his clever footwork. His
well-placed right swings to the jaw
feazed Morch In every one of the seven
rounds.
Morch did not shape as well as he did
with Huihui who stood up and mixed
matters with him. His guard was i'm
perfect and he left himself open to
Mac pretty well all the time. Occasion
ally he whipped over a snappy blow
to Jacks phizog, but McFadden as
simulated his punishment throughout
the bout. smiiingly.
The end came in the seventh. Nc
Fadden handed out a left hook to the
jaw following it up with a terrific
right swing which put Morch down and
out for several seconds after the fatal
nine.
The arrangements were all that could
be desired and Promoter Dick Sullivan
deserves credit for the excellent enter
taipment provided by him.

Forty jolly tars gathered al the
Union Grill last night to celebrate in
advance the sailing of one of the big
gest yachting events yet pulled off in
the history of the Hawaii Yacht Club,
each one present taking on ballast for
the greater part of an hour.
After provisioning for the long cruise
to Rabbit Island, the mariners walled
the time away in nautical song ana
story until Wee Commodore Lyle gave
the signal to heave to in the merriment
and up anchor for the waterfront,
where the six yachts entered in the
contest were riding at anchor with
every rope coiled just so.

Knocks Himself Out

Jack McFadden demonstrated when
at the Orpheum last night. that he
possesses considerably more class than
he has been given credit for. He fought
a heady battle. won all the way and
scored with a clean right swing, the
blow which put an end to Young Mel
sons Dugilistic ambitions.
Morch was game and took a heavy
punishment. He was outclassed. That
is all there was to it.
The house was a good one, the stage
seats being all filled. All the local
pugilistic lights were in evidence and
in the course of the evening Spider
WEIGH was introduced as the man who
had given Battling Nelson the hardest
fight of his career and who was will
ing to fight anyone in the islands at
142 pounds.
All Sam and Young David opened
the ball, being announced to box a
four-round bout at 125 pounds. David
formerly worked in a sausage mill. The
fight was q sausage mill. Young David
was woefully lacking in knowledge of
ring etiquette. All Sam was cool but
as slow as the predicted rise in sugar

The first round was busting affair.
full of good smuggling. David swung
with his right on the Chink and nearly
lowered the dragon flag. His attempt
to hit the Oriental boxer as he lay
prone on the boards was frowned at
by the referee. All Sam depended upon
a swinging uppercut which he got home
a couple of times but which did y.o
appreciate damage.
The second round started lively and
willing. After an exchange of buffets
David fioored Sam and went at him
again before he was off his knees.
Referee O'Meara awarded the decision
to All Sam, although David should
whip the Chink any day of the week.
Wahilani and Kid Bettincourt next
appeared. The audience was told that
the men would box ten rounds at 1913
pounds. Spider Welch refereed the
bout.
