PRELIMINARIES
ARE IN SIGHT

The preliminaries for the Kanae-
Froelecher wrestling bout to take place
at the Orpheum on the 18th inst. will
be arranged today.
There will be two prelims., and both
will be of good quality.
Sailor Roberts Of the r. S. s. Iroquois
wrestIed with Froelecher yesterday and
showed that he is not only very strong,
but knows the game.
The other preliminary will be a SPAR
ring exhibition of four rounds duration
between a couple of clever local boys.
The wrestling principals in the main
event each did their work in satisfac-
tory shape yesterday and both are
coming along as well as could be de-
sired in point of physical condition.
Froelecher will probably be favorite
over Kanae, but the native lad will
not lack followers by any means. Those
who have seen him work declare that
he stands at least an even chance of
pulling down the long end of the purse
on the eventfuI evening.

BURNS DELIVERY
MARKED DOUBTFUL

A St Louis baseball writer claims
s'Sflent Bill Burns has an illegal de-
livery. 1t will be up to the umplres
to decide this point. The writer says:
He's a massively constructed left
handler, and comes from the Coast.
Burns is already in trim to go the fun
route. He's got an illegal delivery and
Cantfllon makes a mistake in not MAX
ing him chase it.
The first time Sheridan, O'Lough-
lin ct al. get a peep at it Burns will
have to start all over again. 1t was
the funny, foolish illegal delivery that
resulted in so many Cardinals being
caught mapping in the early innings
on Sunday"
Burns was here with the Coast team
last year.

year ago.

THE YACHT LADY
HAS BEEN STOLEN
Was Taken From Rotten Row
Sometime Sunday
Morning.

The schooner yacht Lady is missing,
and it is believed that she has been
stolen. According TO present Informal
ton she seems 70 have been taken be-
tween 5. and 10 O'Clock on Sunday morn
ing from her moorings in Rotten Row.
The Lady was purchased some time
ago. by Captain Frederick G. Miller, and
within the past month mas been entire
IL overhauled and put in perfect order,
and was provisioned for month, ev-
erythfng in readiness for a pleasure
cruise whenever Captain Miller, her
owner. should feel like starting out.
The strange part of her disappearance
seems to be that no one on the water
front can be found who saw her go out
of the harbor.
CAPTAIN Miller says that two of his
men were aboard her Sunday morn
ing before o'clock leaving about that
hour. A couple Of hours later he looked
in the direction of her moorings and
she was gne. He did not think much
about it at the time, as he thought it
likely that his employees had taken it
for a sail, he having given them his
permission to do that at any time. But
later. when he found that they had
not taken it, he became concerned and
began to make inquiries along the
waterfront It was thought that
friends of his might have taken her for
a. sail but this does not now seem
10 be a tenable hypothesis.
Now there seems to be growing
belief that she has been seized by some
gang of sailors or others, who have
sailed away with her to California, or
the South Seas. or wherever the wnim
or love of adventure prompts them.
AS has been said. she was provisioned
for a month. She has on board full
supply of water and she had compass
and other instruments aboard for nav
igating. II
The loss of the yacht was not re-
ported TO the police until about three
O'Clock yesterday afternoon.

NOW IN FRISCO

81 just had a letter from Pat Dona-
hue" remarked Jess Woods this morn
ing. Pat is afraid that he will be
overlooked when we go to Japan in
the fall. He wants me to be sure and
include his name. He has also asked
me to take his two brothers. I don't
but I think Pat and Jiggs will go with
us. There is little question about
them.
II can't say when he will sail or
when we will return until hear from
over there. have written about dates.
but not until 1 have heard from Ma
Mia and a couple of other points can
1 arrange my schedule. I want TO fix
it so we can be back to Honolulu to
play on Christmas and New Years.
I think this can be done"
Bert Woods, a brother of Jess, who
has been associated with him in bust
ness at Honolulu, came up on the last
steamer. Bert is a boxing instructor.
AS long as he was at Honolulu he had
a large class of business men who paid
him handsomely for his work. In q
few days he will leave for the East,
and before he returns will spead a
few months in Europe.-S. F. Bull
