TO KAUAI

Local bowlers have issued a ehal-
lenge to the rollers of Kauai and are
living in hopes that their gage will
be picked up by the players of the
Garden Island. Already some cores
pOndenee on the subject of an inter
island tournament has been carried on
by the Honolulu players with the MEM
bers OF the Kegel club of Kauai and it
IS expected that the challenge will
bring the matter TO head. The ehal-
longing letter of the Honolulu players
is as follows:
Honolulu, T. H, August l, 1907.
To Kauai Bowlers:
We hereby issue challenge to you
TO bowl a series Of games under any
conditions that you may mention. We
are willing to meet you IN match, you
to play On your alleys and we on ours,
and exchange scores, properly attested
by selected officials. 1t hardly seems
practical for you to come to Honolulu
TO play or US to visit Kauai, hence the
above suggestion. We leave it entirely
to Won as to conditions.
Trusting that you viii see fit to ae-
cept this challenge, We are,

DIRECT STEAMER
To PUGET SOUND

A new prospect has appeared for a
Puget Sound and this time it seems to
be simply q question OF obtaining n
vessel and Honolulu will have the
connection with the Northwest which
is so much desired. The matter has
been taken up by Castle & Cooke. VINO.
as agents for the Matson Navigation
Company. have suggested the matter
to Captain Matson.
In speaking of the matter yester-
day t. n. Petrie. of the firm Of Castle
& Cooke. said:
The matter has been seriously con-
sidered and has now reached a stage
which seems to promise a line of
steamers between Honolulu and the
Puget Sound ports. We are at present
acting as AGENTS for the Matson Navi-
cation Company in this city and
handle their steamship Hilonian when
she comes in every four weeks. The
matter has been gone into thoroughly
and our firm believes that it would
pay
I'VE have taken the matter up with
the Matson Navigation Company and
have asked them to furnish a steamer
for the run. saying that we would see
that she get the necessary freight
Whether they will be able to put a
steamer on the run in the near future
or not I cannot say, but there Is &
very good chance that Honolulu will
have the direct communication with
Puget Sound ports. that Is Seattle and
Tacoma. which is so much desired"

JIMMY BURNS
TO FIGHT CANS

LOS ANGELES, July 21.-Manager
Tom McCarey of the Pacific Athletic
Club, announced tonight that he had
practically matched Joe Cans, the
lightweight champion of the world,
with Jimmy Burns TO fight 20 rounds
for q purse OF $4,000.
Cans is 10 receive for his share OF
the purse 5000. win, lose or draw. The
remaining $4,000 goes 10 Burns The
weight will be 1SS pounds at probably
three o'clock in the afternoon and Jim
Jeffries is 10 referee.
1t took a half dozen kilograms from
San Francisco and long conference
between McCarey and Burns before
the latter would give in after Harry
Leap, McCarey's San Francisco rep
resentative, had wired that Cans ul-
tinatum was 5000.
After Burns had accepted, McCarey
wired for Cans or his manager tC
come south at once that the details
OF the battle may be definitely settled
McCarey says that he will hold out
for later date than August 18th. as
he wants longer time in which TO ad-
vertise the bout.
Tommy Burns left with his younger
brother Eddie on the Owl last night
for San Francisco. He will return
here and look after the interests OF
his protege when the latter starts tC
work for his fight with Cans.
The match on paper appears TO bt
one of the best cards in the light
weight division. Burns, who is at hi;
best and still coming. is very ambi
tious to fight for the title. 1t was thi:
fact alone that caused him to accep
such one-sided articles. He think:
that he has chance with the coloret
wonder and will start training imme
diateIy.
In reference to the above dispatch
from Los Angeles, Ben Selig. man
ager of Cans said: '-The terms men
toned are correct, with the exception
of one OF two items which I will ar
range with Burns and McCarey. TIL,
weight has been left to me to decidt
and I want it to be 133 pounds at tn,
ringside, stripped I want the hgh
to take place not later than Angus
18th, so that. in case he is the winner
the match will not interfere with Cans
other engagements. Cans has goo'
| offer to fight Joe Thomas, either OF
| September I'd or September 9Th. and
he fought later than August 18th tn
dates would be too close together
should the Thomas match be consum
mated
