there was not enough driving power IN
that much canvas and she was soon left
behind.
An Exciting Finish.
Once the models were beyond the
chop at the mouth of the harbor and
had gained smooth water, they made
better time of it, and the Kalaahoo-
manao and the White Star began to
show less distance from the winner.
Down the harbor entrance they came
until they were level with the Myrtle
boat club and, except that the Myrtle
was to windward all the time, it looked
as though they were all three on a line.
At one time the second and third
Yachts were so close to the winner that
they actually split tacks, but the Myrtle
stayed in the wind and splashed past
the finishing line a full five minutes
in the lead.
The race took just one hour and a
half, and was exciting from the start
to the finish One must remember that
one tack across the creek took more
than five minutes, and while the time
SOUNDS rather long, the actual distance
by which the Myrtle won was not very
great.
The official times and finishes were as
follows: Myrtle, piloted by Friday
first; time, l hour 20 minutes. Kalaa.
hoomanao, second; time l hour "a min

DICK SULLIVAN
IS HERE AGAIN
kamaaipa PugiIist Returns Here
~ and Is Welcomed by the
y Sports.

Dick Sullivan is back in Honolulu.
He is not looking for go particularly,
but he thought that Honolulu would be
a pretty good place to come to for
time and that if there were any sassy
middleweights around he might take
them on.
Since leaving here two years ago Sui
iivan has had a very successful career.
1t will be remembered that, during his
last visit, ne engaged in five bouts
and won every one of them. He de-
feated Huihui twice, once in seven
rounds and once in two rounds; he put
it all over Spider WEIGH IN seven
rounds, he put Joe Silva, the Punch
bowl wonder, to the bad IN three ROUNDS
and he took a decision over the big
Macilvaine in fifteen rounds.
Since leaving here Dick has met hyIe
Whitney twice and defeated him once.
When he first arrived in San francisco
he butted into the four round game and
made good. He made so good, IN tact,
that he was touted as the coming mlu-
dleweight champion. Then he Tell INTO
the common error of making Welght
below the limit of the class he was
fiohting in and got left when he met
EfIe Whitney the second time.
AThe last go was the only one that ne
lost however, and he has some remark
able victories to his credit, including a
terrible 0rubbing that he gave Eddie
Chambers in Los Angeles IN OCTOBER
1907. -,
Dick speaks quite strongly on the
subject of the coming world $ cham
pionship bout between Tommy Burns
and Jack Johnson. He says: " really
believe that Tommy will beat the
dinge. I have followed his methods fol
some time and | believe that he has JUS
been stringing johnson along until M
gets a sufficient purse put up. NOV
that he has the purse he will go II
and wipe the earth with the tan lei
low.
osTommy is the cleverest short boxe
ever saw. The enormous strength II
his shoulders and arms enables HIM t

that he will be a triae more careful

SOUTH COASTERS
ARE PROSPEROUS

The South Coast Yacht Club OF Los
Angeles held its season closing dinner
at the Hollenbeck in Los Angeles on
Friday. November Is. There were
nearly two hundred members present,
and cups for the last seasons winners
were presented after the dinner.
The South Coast Yacht Club has had
the management of the starting of the
two transpaeifc yacht races, and 1t is,
probably. the Invest organization of ITS
kind on the Coast. Seven years ago 1t
was started by thirteen enthusiasts, who
had little money and only their enthus-
iasm and courage to go on. Now the
club owns a $4,000 clubhouse on the
bluff at San Pedro, and has $40 mem
hers and nearly 200 yachts of different
kinds.
Some of the wealthiest men IN the
great Southwest belong to the orgam-
zaticn. and the list of craft on the club
roster includes everything from big
yachts like the Lurline and the Skid
bladuir to small power launches and
cat-boats.

FAN WISHES
WEIGHT DATA
Weight Limits of the PugiIists
Too Often Subject of
Dispute.

1t is extraordinary how little the
general public really knows on the SUBJ
iect of pugiIistic technique and here is
a case where they can be helped out
some A correspondent writes to know
what the weights are. He says: SIN
view of the fact that and my friends
will put little money on the forth
coming fight between Ketehel and
Papke and Burns and Johnson [ would
ask you to favor me with the various
weights of the different classes of box
ers as we sometimes get confused when
reading of men boxing in one class and
then changing to another. At present
my idea of weights is as follows: BAN
tam 1872 lbs, feather 128, light 1S5, well
ter 145, middle 15S, and heavyweight
one ton. You would oblige me by in
forming me whether these are correct
or if not by kindly correcting them.
Yours, f. L. -
While wrong with the exception of
the middle and heavyweight classes, f.
l.. has called the turn of what the
weights really should be. The actual
weight limits are as follows: Bantam
lis universally recognized now as
116), feather 122, light 1873, Welter 142,
middle 158, and a suppositlous light
heavyweight limit of IT'S.
Much confusion has been caused by
the various fighters and managers who
speak of their men fighting in the well
ar l4h
| There has been too much of that kind
of business and men who could not
make 142 to save their lives and have
fought around $50 have claimed the
welterweight championship.
With regard to the. Ketchel-Papke
90 they will meet at the middlewelght
| limit of 158. Just how Ketchel is 60
ing to make the weight we dom know
but he has to make it or forfeit his
weight money.
Weight forfeits make another ques-
| ton over which there is much pllIkla,
| The writer was acting as press agent
for Tom McCarey at the time of the
| Nelson-Herrera faseo two years ago
| and that is a good instance. They were
supposed to weigh in at 1873 at SIX
| o'clock. Both men were there but the
| scales were out of whack and Herrera
left the weighing place and went to
restaurant where he took large meal
aboard.
Nelson stood ready to weigh in a
turkish bath but Herrera refused to
weigh even at the ringside and the fight
was called off. This called for the re
turn of 500, $50, and there was so much
grating in ticket mooehing that 81 60C
more than was taken in was actually
paid out.
There should be an international
commission of prominent sporting mel

is done, there will always be trouble
on the weight question.

was to occur the most stupendous
struggle in which men had ever en-
gagged. There, indeed, was to be an

moved toward the zenith, and still the
opposing armies waited. They had
been ready at daylight for the terrible
ordeal, and on each side impotence

was to decide whether the. white man
should or should not remain supreme

Before the dairy was opened sew

YEARS STRIKES IN FRANCE,
I 1909 in 1eo6-43s,466 Men, Women
and Children Took Part.

Paris.--The ministry of labor has
just published the records of the year
1906 concerning strikes. The statistics
show that there were in that year
1909 strikes in France, as against $50
the year before.
The strikers numbered S,466, of
whom 3S0,435 were men. 41,331 wom-
en- and 1910 children. They were en-
ployed in 1903 establishments.
The 1909 strikes caused the loss of
9,434,5 94 days labor, total which in
cludes 746,490 days lost by 29,305
workmen who were not strikers, but
were forced to idleness through the
closing of the establishments by the
strikers.
OF 1877 strikes for increased wages
1914 were successful, while there were
335 compromises and 26S fiat failures,
Thirty-seven strikes against reduc-
lions in wages resulted in IS sue
cesses, 10 failures and nine compro-
misses.
Demands for shorter hours with the
same or increased wages caused 1888
strikes. OF these 1872 failed, 100 were
successful and there were 92 compro-
misses. Arbitration was resorted to in
302 cases, 16 of them before work was
stopped.

YALE SCHOLARSHIPS GO TIC
THOSE WHO LIVE PLAINLY.
Report Of Dean Wright Shows That
Sclons of Wealthy Families Are
Dullest Scholsrs-Protests
Against Luxury.

New Haven, Conn.-Dean Henry
Wright, Of Yale, has filed report
which shows that poor scholarship
goes hand in hand with luxurious dor.
mitories that nearly all of the best
pupils in the university live in the
cheap, plain quarters, but that almost
all of the students picked for the
secret societies come from the rich
mems dormitories.
Dean Wright has kept a record of
the residence of the rich and poor
students, and the good and the poor
scholars in Yale classes for five years,
and the report shows that the resi-
dents of the elegant dormitories are
becoming worse scholars than ever,
although it is growing to be more rare
to find an occupant of the cheap dor
mitories in secret society.
Dean Wright does not attack the So
ciety system as the only recommends
tion of reform; he recommends that
Yale erect more dormitories so that
members of the freshmen and sophie
mores can be housed by the college in
stead of being lodged in the palatial
private dormitories where, at present,
they grow to neglect their studies and
form cliques which run the secret So
cieties throughout their Yale course.
Dean Wright found in 1904 that 81
per cent. of the freshmen living in the
rich mems private dormitories had
been reproved by the faculty for poor
scholarship, against II per cent. of
the freshmen who roomed in the plain
dormitories on the campus.
Warnings sent out for low scholar
ship to the present freshmen class
