FRANKIE SMITH
IS WITH LEAHY

Two sturdy little athletes stepped or
the Alameda yesterday morning, both
locking as fit as the proverbial fiddls
after their sea voyage. They are Joe
Leahy and frankie Smith, sent over
here by Sol. Leyinson and Alex. Greg
gains, respectively, to box Charlie
Reilly.
Both the youngsters size up like good
ones and this is backed up by the long
records they both produced. frankie
Smith has taken part in thirty-four
battles and has never lost decision,
while his list is well sprinkled with the
knockout sign.
Joe Leahy has an equally admirable
record to show and there are some well
known names on his list He has met
such men as Joe Carroll, Willie Conroy,
whom he defeated, and frankie Ed
wards, Johnny Murphy and Dick Gull
len with whom he drew
frankie Smith S record does not con-
tain quite so many well known names
but all the lads he has met are good
ones and there is little to choose be-
tween them. Smith worked for some
time with Owen Moran and states that
he was not surprised that the young
Britisher bested Eddie HanIon last
Wednesday night CT always
thought said he, ''that Moran was
doing wrong in making weight for Abe
Attell and his showing against Hanlon
proves that this was right.
Gable fought foolish battle. He
tried to be smart and lead Moran on,
thinking that he could easily make np
in the last rounds, but we was fooled
by the other fellow and deserved not
to get the decision. I do not think
Abe is the same man he was few
years ago, he seems to have gone back
although still marvelously clever. He
lost what little popularity he had by
his funny fight against Moran and
do not look for him to be much Of
drawing card in the future. All the
same it IS funny the way people go TO
see him get licked and always get
fooled, ism t it9'
Both boys thoroughly enjoyed their
trip and state that the sooner they get
TO work the better it will please them.
We have now a trio of real class in
Honolulu. imported class at that and
we may expect to see some lively bouts
in the near future with, who knows, a
future world s champion taking the
final decision.

She was taken to the hospital, and

followers, not only for their abilities

Good Burglar Alarm.

At the top of the stairway In the
Grigson dwelling there was board
that emitted a loud creak whenever
anybody stepped on it, Mr.. Grigson
was always intending to have the
thing fixed" but never did it, and by
common consent the members of the
family usually stepped over It, par
ticularly when the head of the family
had gone to bed.
One night, very late, just as Mr..
Grigson was dropping on to sleep,
somebody stepped on that board and
it gave forth its customary loud pro-
test.
There you go again," he angrily
called out. That's you this time,
John. Pretty time of night for you
to be getting to bed"
John, the eldest son, made no re-
Spouse, but instead there was a rush
and a jump down the stairs that
brought the whole household into the
hall just in time to hear the front
door slam. A hurried investigation
disclosed a bag OF valuables which
a frightened burlar had left.
