Reilly Knocked Out Weber, 4 Rounds.
Boouet Defeated Mack, Rounds.
Twenty-six minutes of actual boxing
were long enough to settle two reputa-
tions last night. Charlie Reilly found
Weber's solar plexus in the fourth and
put the little San franciscan out, and
Young Boquet was awarded the deer
sion over Charlie Mack after eight
two-minute rounds of vigorous pun
melting.
There was no doubt about it from
the very first blow that was struck.
Reilly jabbed with his left as soon as
they had shaken hands and found
Weber's mouth, which Immediately
began to bleed From that time to the
finish Weber never had so much as. a
look in. He landed not one single eff
feetive blow, and all his rushes were
blocked or lodged so neatly and easily
that the crowd roared with laughter.
Reilly has improved greatly since
his first appearance here, both in
eleverness and hitting power. His
rights to the body went in with ire
mendous force, and the other lad was
game to stand them as long as he did.
1t was in the first minute of the
fourth round that Reilly let drive a
right full into Weber's solar plexus.
Weber dropped, but staggered to his
feet at the count of nine and wobbIed
uneasily round the ring in dazed way
as though hardly knowing where his
opponent was. Reilly made up his
mind to end the slaughter and passed
over another right that was an ef-
fectual coup de grace. Weber fell
sauirming on the floor and had to be
carried to his corner, where he lay IN
his chair for some minutes before he
was able to walk to his dressing-room.
Chalmers Graham, well-known
travelling man whose territory covers
the entire Orient from San Francisco
to Bengal, and whose smiling face is
often welcomed in Honolulu, acted as
master of ceremonies, and he certainly
fulfilled his duties splendidly. His
method of introducing and announcing
was well appreciated by the crowd and
added the finishing touch to we'll
managed show.
frankie Edwards was introduced as
the referee of the preliminary, then
Boouet and Mack were named to the
audience. and they lost no time IN GO
ing for one another. Boquet had the
better of it all the way through, al
tbouch he seemed to lack wind and did
not come in and finish the bout when
If seemed that he could have done.
He had the longer reach and was
ouicker in his work generally, so that
the little marine was at a dlsadvan-
tage. The latter was wonderfully
game. however. and made an uphill
struoole that won him the admiration
of the fans. In the fifth and SIXTH
'roun6is if looked as though he might |
null mn and even matters, but he went
70 the floor in the seventh from hard
r;ob+ to the mouth and was wobbly |
from then until the end of the eighth. |
smith held up B, Iuet S hand and the
decision met with entire approval.
BEFORE the main event, Jack Lang
try was introduced as having boxed
three rounds with Jack Johnson, ana
II was stated that he wished to enal-
lenge anv heavyweight on the ISLANDS.
frankie Smith, Young Nelson ana Joe
Leahv were ali introduced as challeng,
ING the winner of the main event, and
then the principals came on.
The referee was introduced and re-
ceived with loud cheers. He was
genial looking gentleman, and smiled
kindly in recognition of his reception.
He made special request to the press
stand that his name be not mentioned,
and, extraordinary as such request
is, coming from man who referees a
bout in a public ring, his incOgnito is
preserved on account of his evident
and invincible smile.
When the gong sounded for the bout
to commence, the two lads walked to
