.M'FADDEN AN
ISLAND CHAMP

The Central Athletic Club presented
its first card to local ring.goers las.
night and very fair crowd witnessed
fine evenings sport.
The arena is in the open air and
this arrangement was much appreci-
ated by all present.
Eddie, TAFT refereed the bouts and
j. w. w. Brewster held the watch.
The curtain raiser was a four-round
60 between Billy Poole and cred !"
Casey, 1I0-pounders, both of Fort
| Shafter.
Poole showed greatly improved form
compared with his exhibition against
Frank Murphy at the post some months
ago and knocked out his opponent with
a right swing to the jaw in the first
round.
Kid Cabral and Young Heine were
the next two up and figured in six
round go which went the limit. Cabral
weighed III pounds and Heine 122
pounds.
Cabral did all the leading and made
a great showing. His work was of the
snappy order and he used a nice left
with telling effect.
Heine relied on a right swing to
produce the desired curtains, but he
was too slow for his agile opponent
and had the worst of nearly every
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
ARRAY, six-round affair. This also
went within an ace of the limit. The
men weighed about 1876 pounds, with
Stanley trife the heavier.
Mccullough, who shaped very well
for the second time out, fought con-
| fdently and had his man on the run
for the greater part of the contest. He
is 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 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
left to the body. Both were tired. The
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.
Morch weighed 1913 pounds and look.
ed finely drawn. McFadden weighed
along about l34 pounds and was very
robust red-top.
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
clinches, and landed a time or two but
not hard enough to hurt. Some of his
snap-overs We're very neat. He mixed
matters whenever he could and lost nc
chances. The first round was of a fair
ly even nature.
In the second Jack chopped over his
right hard to the jaw and then SEN
his left to the solar plexus doubling
the sailor up for the count.
The third saw Jack doing a rushing
business. Moreh got home to the fac'
5 with right jab and McFadden planted
Q a stiff right and left on the dial. Morcl
hooked his right to the point and Jael
did some effective work at short range
Both landed more or less effectively il
melee which resulted in Jack handing
Moreh clout On the jaw with his lief
which sprawled him on his bacH
