RED M'FADDEN
LOSES DECISION

SAN FRANCISCO. May 2i.-In the
best fight of the evening at Dreamland
rink last night, Joe Leahy was given
the decision over Jack McFadden after
four rounds of fighting that was fast
and at the same time clever. Although
a majority Of the crowd expressed its
disapproval over the decision render
ed by Referee AL Young, without the
aid of incompetent judges. as in the
past. there was no question but that
Leahy won.
For the first three rounds he out
pointed McFadden at every STEP In
the final round the red-headed boy
started to speed up a bit, and while
he had as good as an even break for
that interval, his showing In the earl
Ter stages of the match, lost him the
contest. Followers of the four-round
game evidently understand that the
referee IL presumed to Judge each
round by itself, and in the enthusiasm
of hurricane finish they frequently
figure the wrong man is the winner.

WOULD BUILD
BOAT IN HAWAII

There is a rapidly growing idea
among those interested In sport that
of Hawaii is to be represented In the
transpacifc race next year, the boat
should be built here.
BY so doing Hawaii will receive much
more advertising than would be the
case, were the yacht to be built or pur-
chased on the mainland. Particularly
would this be the case were the local
craft to win the race. --. ..,,-
Not only is the advertising feature
to be taken into consideration but al
SO the fact that II a boat be built here
every cent put into her would remain
here.
C. D. Walker, the local boatbuilder,
who has turned out many fast craft,
had the following to say on the sub
ject yesterday:
Hawaii should build her own boat
and it would be a fine thing II the
yacht. could be sailed by members Of
the Hawaii Yacht Club. These races
are a splendid thing for the country
but If Hawaii is to have yacht she
should have a good one or none at all
''If sum of say $4,000 is raised here
<thu Uodt puHl VI PuiShaSSu Ohi thS
mainland. it will be like throwing SO
much money away. for after the race
the yacht won't bring what was origin
ally paid for her.
I'VE can build yachts in this coun-
try. The Hawaii, Healani and Kane
hameha, all good boats. were built
here. Six months should be long
enough to have cup yacht built and
put in the water all ready for sailing.
IF were to build yacht for the
race should build her to win and to
get the best possible time allowance.
La Paloma is too small for such a
race. 1t would cost less to build a
yacht in Honolulu than to have one
built on the Coast.
II want to see Hawaii win the next |
race and, IL so requested to, will be |
glad to submit plans and, Specifications
of a yacht together with an estimate |
Of what she will cost. The local lum-
Der and hardware people would in all
furnish material at as rea- T
sonable rates as possible. in order to
help the thing along.

II asked to? You bet I would. I'd 7

ALL ABOUT
BARNEY JOY

PORTLAND (Ore.), May lit took
eleven innings TO decide the ladies'
day matinee this afternoon and the
Beavers only won when, with two out
and the bases filed Williams dropped
Donahue's fly to deep center. Barney
Joy started in to pitch for San Fran
cisco and the local kanaka contingent
was out to cheer him on, but Joy was
hit safely by the first man and walked
the next three forcing a run, so 1t was
curtains for him. Henley finished.
PORTLAND, May 17.-Portland won
in the eleventh inning today, the final
score being to 6. A three base hit by
Casey was a feature that brought the
home fans to their feet. Joy, the
Seals Hawaiian pitcher, started in
early to give free passes, walking three
men in the first inning. He was re-
tired and Henley took his place.
The Portland scorer must have Pc
culiar ideas. According to his version
of the game. Barney Joy pitched a
quarter of an inning before his Wild
moss was so apparent that he was re-
tired. Some one of the fans suggested
that possibly in Portland the rules re-
quire four men instead of three to be
put out before the inning is at an end.
1t Is the general consensus of opinion
that the Honolulu pitcher is In need
of a years experience in some one of
the smaller leagues as a refining proc
ess. Even Long admitted yesterday |
that Joy must have shown alarming |
tendencies toward wildness in that |
Portland contest.
Moriarity says the Seals should have
won the entire set OF five games from
Portland. JOY lost one OF them be-
cause he was unable 10 locate the plate.

It was several years before congress
voted an appropriation to allow Its In
yentor to make practical test OF 1t,
md burlesque bills were offered to pro-
vide means for communicating with
the man in the moon.
"He's a very good, but shiftless
painter, if he would only stick to his

idea of telling by little streak OF
lightning what body Is saying at the
other end of wire!'

During the Apache war in Arizona
in 1866 Maricopa Indian rode hun
bred miles between sun and sun to
warn a party of well to do emigrants
that the Apaches had planned to am
buscade them at a certain pass. The
young Indian volunteered to guide the
wagons by another route, and when he
had done this he mounted his horse
to 60 home.
"See here,' said the leader of the
train to the young Maricopa, you have
done us a good service. What is your
price,"
my price?' repeated the astonished
Indian.

Il have no price. Had gain been my

Chinese Pirates.

Piracy is no new thing in the waters
around Hongkong. As long ago as the
thirteenth century the island Of Hong.
kong was piratical stronghold, and
for centuries the Chinese government
was unable to drive the sea robbers
out. All craft passing what is now
Hongkong harbor were compelled Ia
pay tribute. The higher elevations of
the island served as lookout stations,
and no boat that approached was per.
mitted to leave until it had paid toll.

BULLlOT'S BET.
A Bankers Wager ON st. Swithin's
Day Rain Legend.

A Bankers Wager ON st. Sw1thlns
Day Rain Legend.
There were few frenzied financiers in
England at the beginning of the eight
zenith century if the banker Bulli0t, or
whom the following story is told, can
be taken as an example: The feast OF
st. Swithin, July Is, 1725, was par
ticularly wet and stormy day.
Trusting implicitly in the old super
stition. which says that if it rains on
St. Swithin's day it will rain for forty
days thereafter, Bulliot opened pool
for every one who was willing to bet
against him. The affair attained so
much notoriety that the wager was re-
duced to writing.
IF dating from st. Swithin's day"
reads the memorandum, ''it rains more
or little during forty days successfully
Bulliot will be considered to have
gained. but if it cease to rain for only
one day during that time Bulliot has
lost"
For two weeks it contained to show
er every day, and so confident did the
banker become that he accepted as
stakes not only money, but gold head
ed canes, jewels, snuffboxes and even
clothes. When his cash gave out he
offered notes aud bills Of exchange.
Another week passed, and Bulliot's
star was still in the ascendant
But when the twentysecond day
sank into the west bright and cloud
