WAIALUAS ARE
STOPPED BY EWAS

The all-conquering Waialua team hau
a spoke put in their victorious career
last Sunday at Eva when they mar
rowly averted being whitewashed by
the local bows, score 10 to l.
The marvellous twirler PEDRO, was
found by the Eva boys with ven
gaance. no less than IA hits being MADE
eff him. while the Waialua contingent
failed to connect with Clarke, the EVA
niteher. more than thrice. ;.
A Iucky run came in for Walalua IN
the sixth. Deponte galloped home on
. nassed ball owing to mistaken slgnal
between catcher and pitcher. During
the game only three men OF the Vlsl'olS
reached third, including Deponte.
The Ewas played an almost errorless
game. The visitors were loud IN tneli
praise of the Eva baseball field, IN 1ae'
il is the best ball ground outside Homo
lulu. .,. az
Mr.. and Mrs. G. F. Renton with the
majority of the Eva employees were
interested spectators and the cheering
for the local boys was loud and long. u
course the Eva "Jack Doyle" was II
evidence as usual.
The lineup of the respective teams
was S follows:
Ewa-G. R. Clarke, p; j. Vannatta

fifteen rounds. While the fans expect
ed to see Ketchel win, at the same
time they looked for a hurricane battle
lasting at least dozen rounds, and
while admiring the hitting powers or
the champion and the wonderful game
ness of Thomas, they were a trifle dis
appointed at the lightning-like finish.
Billy Jordan was kept busy intro
dueing well known celebrities and read
ing challenges Abe Attell, Owen Nor
an, Bat Nelson, Joe Cans and Eddie
Har.lon, who are to engage in boxing
contests in the near future were all
heartily received. Jim Flynn and
Hugo Kelly sent telegraphc challenges
! to the winner.
1t took the general public a long
(, time to look upon Ketehef as crack
| aiaek fighter, but his cleancut disposal
of two such men as Hugo Kelly and
Joe Thomas has impressed upon their
minds that he is one of the most for
midable glove artists in the ring to-
day. It is the consensus of opinion
that he will give Tommy Burns close
rub for championship honors when they
come together.
! While Ketchel is wonderfully fast ON
his feet and has an effective punch in
either mitt, he has tendency to SWING
wildly when he gets his man on the
run or when he gets stung. In the
Kelly fight, when the Italian was hav-
ing the better of the mixups, Stanley
fought in an erratic manner, while last
night. when he had Thomas on the run,
he overbalanced himself repeatedly IN
trying to put on the finishing touches.
He can't take these sort of chances
! with Burns, as the latter is liable to
pop him on the jaw with his right
before he RECEIVERS his equilibrium. But
at that Ketchel is a natural fighter and
fairly bubbles over with energy, and
tbe local fans are anxious to see him
hook up with the Canadian, who has
expressed his willingness to such a
meeting. 1t would be big drawing
card and while the public wouldn t
expect to see very long contest, there
would undoubtedly be plenty OF action
while it lasted.
Ketchel Ready for Burns
|, Manager O'Connor stated after the
: fight that he and Ketehel would leave
: for Los Angeles in an automobile as
soon as they had definite word from
Bill Papke about the Los Angeles
match. After the Labor Day contest,
: OConnor will be ready to sign articles
for a heavyweight championship match
/. with Tommy Burns. Ketehel is just
crazy to get crack at the champion.
In his dressing-room Thomas remark
ed that Ketchel had one of the most
wicked punches he ever felt and that
he never got over the effect of the blow
r nnder the heart and the punch on the
l eve in the first round. In such short
r space of time. it seemed impossible for
r man to infiet as much punishment
5 as Ketchel did on joe
3 Thomas is now thoroughly convinced
> that Ketehel is too much for him, and
3 while he thought before the fight that
. with his advantage in weight and
' strength based on his showing, IN the
! other three battles he would be able
to turn the tables, he says he found
that the champion was a greatly i'm
9 proved fighter and much harder hit
! ter than he formerly was.

Too Fast for Joe.

This was an utter impossiblllty, for
the rand fire delivery of the Michigan
youth was too much for him, and under
. heavy rain of body blows and another
fearful uppercut on the chin, Inomas
tonDIed to the floor, striking has race

seemed slow to get in motion. he hiaue
several futile attempts to land, puV
seemed more intent upon evadlng the
nile-driving wallops of his adVersaiy
than he did to infict punishment. Inc
probability is that if Thomas had man

Deplorable as it is there is no doubt
that there has been something doing
down at Aala Park. There seems to
be no doubt that the Palama-J. A. G.
game was sold last Sunday and the
guilty parties will be brought out on
the carpet and properly punished.
Before making this expose the Ad-
vertiser has been into the matter very
thoroughly and has sufficient evidence
to assure that there was some bad
work. It is not a case of few small
bettors becoming disgruntled because
thew lost and then raising howl after
wards. It appears certain that the
game was sold and that is all there
is to it. Just who the guilty parties
are is not yet known but they will DC
brought before the league next Thurs
day night and the charges will be gone
into thoroughly. The evidence against
them is so strong that there is ne
chance that they will escape justice
and they will be barred from the
league, if proven guilty.
/ Mr.. Atkinson was the most surprised
and upset man in the Territory Whei

impartial justice viii be meted out.
Mr.. Atkinson deplores the existence of
this graft but states most emphatically
that he is glad TO have the papers join
hands with him in going to the root
of this thing and helping to preserve
the cleanliness of amateur sport IN Ho-
nolulu.
Tins is what Mr.. Atkinson had to say:
What appeared in the Advertiser
this morning is the first intimation l
have had OF Irregularities in last Sun
days game. If there was not regu-
lar meeting of the Riverside Baseball
League coming on Thursday | would
call special meeting so as to appoint
committee to investigate the rumors.
''It is hard for me to believe that
any member of any team in the River
side Baseball League can be guilty of
such charges, for the reason that the
members of the Riverside Baseball
League play their games for sport only.
There are no gate receipts.
HThere is something in the constitu-
ton, if L remember rightly, that the
league is organized to establish sport
for sport IS sake. Let me say right now
that even though a member of team
might be mixed up in such irregular
practice, that does not mean that the
officers of any team countenance such
| irregularities.
II feel sure that the officers of the
different teams in the Riverside League
would maintain the honor of their teams

to assure you, however, that any

and if any guilt is proven the guilty
party will be punished. But at the same
time I hope that if there is no guilt t.

will appreciate the injustice done.
Manuel Correa, captain of the Pala
