FLEET ATHLETES
WILL APPEAR
Flag Lieutenant Poteet Tells
of the Fleet Athletic
Possibilities.

The feet is here and there is going
to be something doing in the way OF
sports. There will DE baseball, and
there will be boxing and the best talent
from the cruisers will appear.
Flag Lieutenant Poteet. who has
charge of feet athletics, made the fol
lowing statement yesterday: Il have
had this job for only a short time and
| am not in a position to give you
very much information until | have
seen the various managers and talked
the matter over with them
"We have good ball players and we
have some very classy boxers and we
want to give the people of Honolulu
chance to see them in action. We
expect TO make our best display on
the return trip when we will stay in
port here for ten days. By that time
everything will be settled down to q
working basis and we shall be in a
position to make a very much better
showing than we can right now.
"Baseball in the fleet is, so to speak,
just beginning. Most of the crews are
new and there have been many changes

to be decided all over again. The
Pennsylvania is acknowledged to have
had the best team but the two divisions
are expecting to play amongst them
selves and then the champion players
of the first division will meet the cham
pion team from the second. tomorrow
the Tennessee and Washington play at
Aala Park at 8 O'Clock IN the after
noon in the first preliminary OF the sec
ond division.
Lieutenant Poteet is very anxious to
have all the sporting events possible
during the present stay Of the boats
here but everybody will be busy for
several days coaling and working on
general wharf dope so that the same
opportunities are not presented as we
shall have when the feet returns from
its Oriental trip.
So far as baseball is concerned the
Naval teams will play against each
other and will also play local teams.
No definite arrangements have yet peen
made. bnt it is expected that some Oh
the Navy teams viii play against eacn
other at Aala Park, some at the pan
mark and others will play at the pan
park against local and Aii-HaWaI
teams. -
There will be a meeting OF the
League today at which Definite ar

plavers and the sailor boys made up.

Paddy Ryan and Jack Scully, two
of the best known spOrtsmen in Homo
lulu, have got together and have form
ed the independence Athletic Club
The object of this organization is to
bring off boxing contests and to do
the thing right.
This is good news to every sportsman
in town, for their names alone assure
square deal in every way and Paddy
will be the referee. Paddy is a man
who knows the game from A to z, and
there will be no chance of bad deci-
sion when he acts as the third man.
"Box and box right are the orders
that I always hand out, says Mr..
Ryan, "and anybody who does not do
that gets put out of the ring
Just exactly what the first show that
this club will put on will be impossible
to say at present owing to the I'M
certain state of feet athletics but it
is practically assured that the cham
pion lightweight of the fleet will meet
Charlie Reilly.
The present outlook is that the In
dependence CluD Will DrlnS on TWO
shows while the feet is here. One next
Saturday night between the two best
heavyweights, Gunboat Smith of the
Pennsylvania and "Spike" Higgins of
the California.
Next Monday, being Labor Day, they
will produce a bout between Charlie
Reilly and the champion lightweight of
the fleet. That champion has not yet
been named but, since there are so
many clever little men on the ships,
there is no doubt that champion will
be forthcoming to meet young Reilly
Charlie Reilly has made great hit
in Honolulu. He has never been given
proper credit for the way in which he
acted last Saturday night. When the
decision was given as a draw he walk.
ed away from the ring quietly and
without murmur. This is one way
in which he showed his real champion

his mouth shut and, when one of his
friends was making a big "holler. -
he tapped him on the shoulder and
said, "Say, young fellow, don't make
so much noise. This is not the first

This department of the young scrap

emit style of training for this battle

provement in his style of hitting.

around the environs of Arcadia in the
morning yesterday, and in the after
noon he punched the bag for six rounds
