Hilo People Do Nice
things For Keio
Team

If the baseball people of Iilo did
not warm to the proposition of hav-
ing the Santa Claras play ball there,
they are pleased enough to welcome
the Keios. In fact, they have placed
an order here with Okasaki. the tai
lor, for beautiful new uniforms with
which the Keios are to he presented
on the occasion of their visit. This
is going some, when 1t was found i'm
possible to make a game for the Santa
Claras in the umbrella town on salts
factory terms. And there Is little
question that the Clarans really put
up the better game of the two teams.
The games which have been SO far
arranged for the Keios in Hilo are
for Saturday and Sunday, the 18th
and 10th, as follows:
Saturday, Aug. 15-l:30 p. M:
II. A. c. VS.. Naniwa: y. m: Keio
VS.. Hilo.
Sunday. Aug. 1G-1:3O p. M: Hilo
VS.. Nan!wa; p. m: Kcio vs.. Moo
heau.
AS the Naniwa team is not In this
list, and as 1t is thought probable
that the Keios will be asked to play
Il picked team. 1t Is supposed that
there will be more games played than
the above before the Keio team leaves
Hilo.

LAST C0L0RED CHAMPION GONE

Joe Cans recent defeat marked the
passing of the last colored ring cham.
piOn of the day. The man from Baltl.
more was the last of the mightiest
trio of black boys the race has ever
given to the ring. This great trio
was made up of Joe Walcott welter-
weight champion; Joe Cans. light
weight champion, and George Dixon,
bantam and feather-weight champion.
Each held the title Tor number OF
years.
Walcott won the welter-weight
championship from Jim (Rube) Ferns
in FIVE rounds at Fort Erie, N. Y, De-
cember IS. 1901, and held 1t until
Honey Melody defeated him In
twelve rounds at Chelsea, November
80, 1906.
George Dixon won the bantam.
weight title from Eugene Hornbacher
in four rounds at New York Decem-
Der q, 1889, and held 1t until Terry
McGovern beat him at New York In
eight rounds January 0, 1900.
Joe Cans won the lightweight title
from Frank Erne In one round at
Fort Erie. N. Y, May ~, 1902, and
lost It to Battling Nelson at Colma,

weight, are all fighters of class, and
II they were given chance either
one or all three of them might become
champions.
But white boxers remembering the
great deeds OF Walcott, Cans and
Dixon, to say nothing of old Peter
Jackson and number of other great
colored fighters since his day, are
pretty fairly persistent in drawing the
color line.
It seems to be the rule nowadays
for any holder OF a championship
title to bar the negro challenger
John l.. Sullivan set the style by re-
iusing to meet Peter Jackson, and
since his time Jim CorDett Bob Fitz
simmons, Jim Jeffrles, Tommy Burns
and other champions In the various
classes have avoided negro fighters
as they would pestilence.

Nowhere could such work be more in

if its work had been confined within
narrow lines. The secret of success
with a chapter is for all it's members
TO have something to do, and to have
work that interests them. Certain
features of the work of the society
do not greatly interest some members
who would take a great interest in
other work if called upon to do it,
In its early day the society was
thought of by many as an organiza-
ton, occupied almost entirely with
ancestors; but its record shows that
it has been of incalculable benefit to
the living, especially in it's splendid
educational work, which is daily grow
ing and broadening.
1T has always had certain patrio-
tic work peculiar to it, which no other
organization is doing, and which
should never be neglected, whatever
else is done. But this need not pre-
vent activity in other lines which en-
gage the attention of patriotic women;
and among these, civic improvement
may well have a place.

Organizations of women striving
for civic improvement can do, and
can induce citizens to do. what may
ors and councils will not or cannot
do. For instance, one of the things
the Brunswick chapter expects to do
is to secure the removal of all front
fences along the principal residence
street OF the city, so that no decay
ing or unsightly barrier will stand
between houses or flower gardens and
the street. Georgia towns need more
organizations of women who viii give
attention to such matters; in fact
they need more chapters of Daughters
