Eddie TAFT refereed the bouts an,
j. w. w. Brewster held the watch.
The curtain-raiser was a four-roun,
| go between Billy Poole and cred
!, Casey, l70-pounders, both of For
Shafter.
Poole showed greatly improved form
compared with his exhibition agains
Frank Murphy at the post some month
ago and knocked out his opponent witt

round.
Kid Cabral and Young Heine were
the next two up and figured in six

a great showing. His work was of the
snappy order and he used nice left
with telling effect.
Heine relied on right swing to

was too slow for his agile opponent
round.
1t was one of the cleanest contests
ever fought in Honolulu.
Kid Mccullough of Fort Shafter and
Pete Stanley lined up for the next

Stanley trife the heavier
Mccullough, who shaped very well
for the second time out, fought con-
idently and had his man on the run
for the greater part of the contest. He
is a rangy lad and likes the game.
Stanley showed occasional flashes of
cleverness, but has no punch McCul-
Tough punished him considerably, but
Stanley was always there waiting for
some more.
There was hardly a body blow struck
in the whole six rounds, each man
playing for the head
Stanley was as good as out at the
end of the fifth and the gong saved
him.
In the sixth round Mccullough got
in an uppercut and Stanley put light
L
Kid. drove his man to the ropes and
had him at his mercy when the referee
stopped the go and gave the decision to
the soldier.
The main event of the evening was
to have been a six-round go between
Jack McFadden and Sailor Moreh. 1t
was announced as for the lightweight
championship of the Territory.
NJ a
ed finely drawn. McFadden weighed
along about 134 pounds and was very
robust redtop.
Jack went hard at it in the first round
and was there with his good old left |
hook. Morch played for the jaw in the |
and landed a time or two but |
not hard enough to hurt. Some of his |
were very neat. He mixed |
matters whenever he could and lost mo |
chances. The first round was of fair
ly even nature.
In the second Jack chopped over his
right hard to the jaw and then sent
his left to the solar plexus doubling
the sailor up for the count.
The third saw Jack doing rushing
business. Morch got home to the face
with right iab and McFadden planted
a stiff right and left on the dial. Morch
hooked his right to the point and Jack
lid some effective work at short range
Both landed more or less effectively in
4 melee which resulted in Jack handing
Morch a clout on the jaw with his left
which sprawled him on his bacr.
Referee TAFT started counting and Nc
Fadden was on the point of crawling
through the ropes when Morch rose
suddenly and Jack s friends told him
lot to leave the ring.
TAFT had counted eight when he saw
lack getting through the ropes and
hen quit counting aloud. Morch was
N the floor over ten seconds before he
got up, and was walking to the center
# the ring when the gong sounded.
" Moreh wins,'' said the referee.
There was some question as to whether
dorch had technically been counted out
'ut it would have made no difference
or McFadden had the drop on his man
n point of cleverness and stalled him
nto the situation which enabled him
o land his haymaker.
The club will present another good
ard on Saturday night.
