KAKAAKO LEAGUE
TO OPEN ON SUNDAY

Jack Atkinson is not so busy with
the Central Committee but that he has
time to look after the many Baseball
Leagues of which he is patron. He
states that the Kakaako League will
start its series next Sunday at Atkin-
son park and that he will be there to
perform the arduous duty Of pitching
the first ball.
1t is hard to say what would have
happened to amateur baseball here if
it had not been for the strong head
and kindly hand of Mr. Atkinson who
has held the PLAYERS together and quiet
ly and automatically settled their lit
tie squabbles for them.
The time is drawing near for many
of the minor leagues to start their sec
ond series and very soon Jack Atkinson
viii have to be in two places at once
for he is to open all the series by
pitching the first ball.

REILLY-NELSON GO WILL
BE HELD IN THE ORpHEl]M
Fred Smith Decides to Postpone Movement of
Central Club Arena and to Rent
Local Theater.

The sun had not risen on the morn
ing of February % in the year 1888
when two little boys came squealing
into the world One was Charlie Reilly
and the other was Young Nelson.
These two little pieces of humanity
have grown into strong, husky lads,
and they are going to meet in the ring
and see which is the better of the two
with their fists.
This contest will not take place in
the Central Club arena, but in the Or
pheum. Fred Smith, manager and
matchmaker of the club, decided that
it would be too much to move the
arena to the new location by October
3 and so went to see Joe Cohen and
made satisfactory arrangements with
him for the production of the show in
the theater on the date mentioned.
This is good idea. The Orpheum,
while lacking the advantages of a ring
in the center of the building where
everybody can get a clear view from
every side, is well arranged for an
event of this kind. The roomy stage
makes an ideal location for ring, and
every spectator in the auditorium can
get a clear view of the contestants
in action.
There is an interesting and rather
amusing feature about this contest
Reilly was trained by Pete Baron for
his recent goes here, and the veteran
taught the youngster things he never
did know. But Young Nelson is also
a favorite of our grand old Healani
athlete and got in his request first. So
that Pete will do his best to get Nell
son in condition to down the little
man that he has been training during
the last month.
These things happen all the time in
the boxing game, however. Molly Nc
Donald, Tim Ryan, "Belle'' O 'Connor
and other we'll known trainers have
had the same experience. A trainer is
a man who makes it his business to
put men In condition, and, no matter
whom his subject may be, he always
puts his best efforts into getting that
particular human machine into the best
possible working order.
Bob Ross will have charge of Charlie
Reilly, and here is another veteran
who understands the training business
as few men do. Bob has very pro-
nounced ideas on the subject of punch
developing, and those same ideas size
up as the correct and interior dope.

ingly'
Bob Ross is not the first man to re-
pudiate the light ball for the heavy
bag. Dewitt Van Court, the veteran
championmaker of the Pacific Coast,
has the same view and expresses it
very foreibly. Out on a racing Yacht
one day, Mr.. Van Court was talking
on the subject Said he: "Trving to
make boxer learn to hit hard on a
light ball would be about as sensible
as you fellows practising pulling IN
the sails with piece of string ant a
toy balloon.'
It is not yet known where Reilly
will work, but it is expected that he
will take up quarters at the Hotel
Baths. The gallery is wide, light and
airy, and makes an ideal place for
work, as there are hot rooms down be-
low, with the best of rubbing tables
for the after-work massage
Nelson has been at work for a
couple of days now, and Pete Baron
states that he will have the lad in
fine fettle by the, date of the meeting.
This little athlete keeps himself al
ways in good condition and will have
no trouble in reaching his best by hat
date.
Reilly has been doing the steam
roller business during the last few
mornings, and residents of the Waikiki
district have noticed a perceptible fiat
