The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1908-09-08

There was another very good show
at the Independence Club yesterday,
this time in the afternoon. Charlie
Reilly made his second appearance, in
Honolulu at that time, and again
proved his class to the fans by boxing
the destroyer Perry by the name of
Fox.
Fox appeared to be the heavier of
the two by at least five pounds, AMI
he had considerably longer reach, but
with ell these natural advantages he
was unable to reach Reilly, and the
~ 2sfys, hit him almost at will.
nvf result was called draw, as it
Il 3yreed before the bout that if both
atvere strong at the end of the
Ains' sround it should be called q draw.
'nanuo is had not been the case, Reilly
fi have easily taken the decision.
c,hiSe first preliminary was funny af-
because both men knew so little
ne game that they were unable to
each other after the first three
lids, in which enough nose blood
shed to fill slaughter-house. The
Tins were Soldier Mccullough of
rt Shafter and Mckay of the Penn
lvania.
McCullougn was up against we'll
Iiilt youth with a very prominent nose.
u looked at first that Mckay would
Easily outlook his opponent, but he
soon slowed up, and in the last three
cunds both men were staggering round
he ring with siclsly smiles on their
faces, feebly tanning the air in their
efforts to hit each other. Paddy Ryan
4 called the result draw.
4 The second preliminary was go be-
Pennsylvania and one Jack McFadden.
= Austin was the man selected for this
go, hut he was unable to appear, so
4 eomrade by the name of Waller took
his place. Waller is neat boxer and
I will be very clever with some more
practise and good teaching. The re-
Z suit of this was also very properly call
ed draw.
1t was announced from the ringside
.Auring the first event that Attell and
Moran had fought twenty-three-
knd draw in San Francisco. Before
Blk main event, other announcements
h Ire made to the effect that Waller
Mould like to meet the same man again
q, ffteen-round bout when the feet
II eturns from Samoa. Also that Tringle
rf the Maryland challenged the winner
af the Reilly-Fox bout to a fifteen
5found 60 at the same time.
7l' The Main Event.
,Fox came into the ring first accom-
,anied by group of sailors, who i'm
nedately set to work getting his cor
ner ready. Reilly was only a minute
after him and for seconds he had Pete
Baron and August Reinecke. Charlie
looked very fit and happy, and one
could see that he had no doubt of his
u ability to best the other fellow. Be-
fore the gong sounded it was an
nounced that they had agreed to break
clean at the word of the referee, and
that if both men were on their feet
1 lat the end of the tenth round the re
I suit would be called draw.
h Nothing very much happened in the
d first round. They both spared for al
opening and Reilly landed one fairly
j hard jolt on the jaw. He did not ex
tend himself, however, and it was i'm
possible to size up just how much bet
ter he was than the other fellow. Or
! this account the round was fairly even
III In the second round Reilly did 9
little more work and let out that won
|, derful left jab of his. This worked
very we'll, and Fox's face was rocked
back several times. In this round Fo'
let loose terrific right swing, but
failed to land in every case. Reilly
jumped in, jabbed his mans face an'
Skn danced away.
"a the third round Reilly was ever
,S}e energetic. He led constantly ant
IDLY ever failed to land, although hi
tws did not seem to bother the husk,
Nor. Fox got in his first blow il
tis round, landing on Reilly's stom
eh with some force.
The fourth and fifth rounds were
yhepetition of the third, with Reilly get
Ting more energetic all the time ant
the other fellow vainly trying to rusl
in and land a Knockout blow.
"a Fox landed another good one in tn
sixth, this time to the jaw, but Refill.
Was backing away at the time and wa
