BOILERMAKERS
AND ENGINEERS

The boilermakers and engineers will
fight it out for the third time at Kapio-
lani Park this morning. They have
played two games of baseball so far
and each team has won one. This is to
be the final of the series, and both
sides are determined to be the victors.
Again will the plug hat and smiling
rotundity of Charlie Lambert be in
evidence. As an umpire he is so en-
tirely bad that he is a great success.
These games are more by way of a
jolly good time than anything else,
and nobody takes them seriously, but
the boys get together and enjoy every
minute of the time, and it does one s
heart good to 60 to ball game where
everybody is smiling and a runner
laughs all over himself when he is call
ed out at first.
After the game there viii be lunch
served for the players and their friends,
which will be followed by the usual in
formal smoking concert, at which there
is talent of no mean order on tap.

MEDICOS WOULD
PLAY STANFORD

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. "a.
Another British team wants to meet
the Stanford fifteen. Yesterday Man
ager Steward received a letter from
Ernest MacEwan, the manager of the
United Hospitals Football Club of Lon
don, asking for a series of five games,
to be played in December. MacEwan
states that the Britishers are very anx-
ious to make the trip and try cOnclu>
sions with what they consider the best
American Rugby aggregation, and he
wants to know how much of guaran-
tee Stewart will give him.
The United Hospitals Football Club IS
composed of the best players from all
the medical colleges in London and
they invariably defeat the Oxford and
Cambridge varsities. So they would be
class A opponents for Stanford.
The California universities bid fair
to become important figures in Anglo
American athletic relations. With two
series of international games annually
on the program now, and the possibility
of two or three more being added, the
of California and Stanford
ought to become the means of even
more firmly cementing the ties which
bind together the people of the British
empire and the United States.

IKE WEIR TAKES
COUNT WITH TIME

SAN FRANCISCO, September 25.-
Another old-time fighter has answered
the final gong. At Charlestown yester-
day, Ike Weir, the "Belfast Spider,
passed away after lingering illness.
Weir was long, lanky boxer who was
very shifty, and in addition to being
clever had fearfully hard wallop. One
of his famous fights was the slXty-one
round an-nlght battle with Jack Hav-
lin, which was called draw. He was
the premier featherweight of his day,
and was the holder of the Holske cham
pion belt. He made considerable money
during his ring career, and was wise
enough 10 save enough to support him
III comfortable circumstances IN his de-
clining years. He was not very old
man, beng but forty years of age at
the time of his death.
His last appearance here was with
Eddie Graney, and strange coinci-
dence was that Harry Maynard, who
also died this week, spared for the
last time in this city with the we'll
known referee

COAST PLAYERS
ROOT FOR CLUBS

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25.-The
players are roofing for Chicago to beat
New York, and for reason. The
Giants are unpopular with the talent.
Players like Bresnahan, Seymour, Nc
Graw, and McGinty are reputed to be
swell headed. - When word reached
Recreation Park yesterday that Nc
Graw's men had swamped the Cubs,
players on both sides of the field were
heard to utter: THAT was too bad.
Wish Chicago could have won. That
New York club is a swellheaded lot. -
Speaking Of that game which Pull
liam called tie, the very same play
came up al Pittsburg this year ana
Chicago was the other club and Han
ODay the umpire. The runner at first,
instead of running to second, ran for
the clubhouse, being in a hurry to
dress, like all players. Chicago played
the ball to second and claimed the
game. but this time O'Day overlooked
the play and the score counted. O'Day
was not caught mapping Wednesday,
but it was strange that singular play
like this should come up twice in one
season.

JESSICA WOODS
OUTJESSICAED

Say, is Honolulu a particularly easy
place? Are we bunch of easy marks,
or what it is? First of ALL Calorified
Atmosphere Jessica Woods comes ped
ding round here with a wad of heated
atmosphere about what he is going to
do and how his team is going to play
a series in Honolulu and take away
couple of thousand dollars in gate
money, to help pay the expense of his
prima donnas and frst-base game
throwers
That was bad enough, although we
know the gentle Jessica and how he
loves to founce around before the pub
lie, but here is one that in supreme, gold
plated, gold-tipped, washed with milk
three times-a day, unadulterated gall,
takes all the loaves from the oven. Read
it, ponder over it, laugh at first, then
grow indignant and finally laugh again
that any sane man should be so filed
up with egotism as to imagine that the
people of Honolulu are going to jump
at the opportunity of paying twelve
hundred dollars for the sake of seeing
his second-rate aggregation disport
themselves here. Sic semper asinus, or
words to that effect. Here is the let
ter:
" Manager of ST. Louis Baseball Team,
Honolulu.
''Dear Sir: We are at present Wis
iting Japan and are contemplating re-
turning by way of Honolulu. Return
ing this way will make a considerable
extra expense, and we thought that if
we could lie over between boats that
we could play about three games with
you.
eff you can guarantee US $1,000 for
three or four games, with the privi-
lege of go per cent. of the gate, we
will come your way; if not, we will
go directly to Seattle from here.
''Let me hear from you by cable.
Awaiting your early reply, I am, sin
cerely yours,

BALL WAR CLOUD
BLOWS FAR AWAY

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-There will be
no baseball war the coming winter.
This terrible cloud has been hanging
over the baseball horizon for the past
eight months and has been the cause
of much discussion in and out of base
ball circles. The American Association
threatened last winter to invade the
lawful precincts of the major league
here in Chicago, and by so doing to
stir up another disastrous war that
would have thrown the whole baseball
world into confusion such as that which
nearly killed the game and put many
magnates out of business in the years
when the American League was fore
ing itself into recognition.
President James D. O'Brien of the
American Association gave out the
statement at the close of the annual
business meeting of that organization
yesterday that the territory now occu-
pied by the American Association was
plenty big enough for them.
"Our territory is now nicely divided
and to seek other fields of endeavor
might prove a failure" he said.

BRlTISHERS
BEAT ELECTRICS

Teams from Davies and company and
the Hawaiian Electric Company played
a snappy game of ball at Aala Park
yesterday, the Britishers winning to
the tune of 10 to T. The Josephs, Man
uel and Frank were the battery for the
winners and Frank kept the hits well
scattered where they could do least
good.
Simondson pitched and Bechert
caught for the losers but they were not
as effective combination as the two
namesakes and Simondson was swatted
rather badly over the field. These two
teams will probably play return game
in the near future.

SCORER COSTLY
FOR WHEELER

An incompetent scorer cost George
Wheeler a box of cigars, package of
breakfast food and other presents at
Portland on the last trip. a player
that makes a home run there is given
all sorts of presents, more or less use
full. Wheeler smashed a ball over Raj
tery's head. He reached third base all
right on the drive, and went home
when Raftery and Bassey started to
relay the ball in. If Rafterv had made
a perfect peg to Bassey he might have
retired Wheeler at the plate, but there
was question about it. At any rate,
the scorer only allowed Wheeler a
three Dagger and charged Raftery with
an error. George contended that he
should have had a homer. The case in
dispute was left to Chicago authority
to decide, who decided in favor of
Wheeler.-S. f. Bulletin.

the center of the ring and shook hands.
Then something moved like flash and
Reilly left had jabbed a cut on
Weber's mouth
Weber shook his head and came on
with rush, but he only met that
merciless left, and, duck as he would,
there was always a glove where his
face was, and soon his nose and eyes
were battered out of all recognition.
In the second round Reilly played with
his man and jabbed him at will, occa-
sionally bringing over a severe right
uppercut that staggered Weber and
made him break ground
In the third round Reilly inaugu-
rated a series of piston movement jabs
that tapped Weber s face three or four
times IN succession, and the crowd
cheered Justify. In this round Weber
landed three times, but not one of the
blows did any damage, and Reilly was
still unmarked.
Weber looked very bad when he
came up for the fourth, and he did lit
tie but cover up his face and body as
best he could to save himself from the
terrible rights that Reilly had let loose.
The round had lasted scarcely half a
minute when Weber went to the floor
for the first time, and full minute
had scarcely elapsed when he was car
ried to his corner.
The house was well filed, the ring
side seats were all occupied, and the
body of the house was fairly black,
especially in the gallery The Orpheum
is certainly a good place for an event
of this kind, the ventilation is good and
the stage borders make an ideal light
for a boxing contest.
The next event has not yet been ar
ranged, but now that there are three
boxers of undoubted class here, it will
not be long before we have chance
to see how Reilly will size up with one
of the two new arrivals. Joe Leahy
will probably be the next man to en-
ter the ring with him, and the resultant
go viii be something of a classic if re-
potts as to Leahy's cleverness are not
exaggerated.

NELSON SCORES
TWO KNOCKOUTS

SAN FRANCISCO, September %
Battling Nelson scored two knockOuts
in less than one round last night, land
ing only two blows, but the engage
ment was one that Bat did not have
on his schedule. So quickly did Bat
finish the Job and with such GOODNESS
that even his closest friends who ac-
companied him looked on in surprise.
The trouble was entirely extempo-
raneous, Nelson, accompanied by sew
eral friends, among them Sid Grau-
man, Jr., of the National theater,
boarded a street car with transfers.
The conductor demanded tickets. Mel
son proffered his, but it was refused.

patience was overtaxed. He politely
insisted that the transfer was in due

he ordered.
''Do you mean itf'' said Bat mildly.
For reply the conductor made move

EXCITEMENT
AT AALA PARK

Today's baseball games at the Aala
Park diamond promise to go down in
history among the fans that assemble
there on Sundays to witness these
games. There will be two games this
afternoon and both of these will be
for blood. The Chinese Alohas and
the Chinese A. c., the two great rivals
of the league, will play the first game
and Yasumori s stars, the Banzai team,
will face the Palamas in the second
contest.
1t is needless to state that the first
game is going to be a good treat. Both
of these Chinese teams can play good
ball and the results of this game are
eagerly waited for by the Chinese fans.
Ho Yup and Brito will form the Alo-
has battery and Chi Bui and Akina,
will perform the same functions for
the Chinese A. G. Manager Mon Tai
of the Alohas has stated that Luka
McShane, who pitched some of the best
games for the Alohas in the first series,
may take a turn in the box. After
all has been said, this game will be
great one and no one should miss it.
The second game between the jap
anese and the Palamas, the latter be-
ing the champions of the first series,
will be just as interesting as the first.
The Nippons have improved a good
deal since Luning, the reliable catcher
of that club, has taken up its training.
Flores, the japanese pitcher, is in the
best of shape and will no doubt pitch
a good game today. The Palamas will
be greatly strengthened by the pres
ence of Espinda, the best twirler that
club has ever put up, who has just
returned from Maui. Hoopi will catch
for Esninda.
