Draw Decision Given as Both Lads Agreed to

nounced that they had agreed to break
clean at the word of the referee, and
that if both men were on their feet
at the end of the tenth round the re
suit would be called draw.
Nothing very much happened in the
first round. They both spared for an
opening and Reilly landed one fairly
hard jolt on the jaw. He did not ex
tend himself, however, and it was i'm
possible to size up just how much bet
ter he was than the other fellow. On
this account the round was fairly even
In the second round Reilly did a
little more work and let out that won
derful left jab of his. This worked
very well, and Fox IS face was rocked
back several times. In this round Fox
let loose a terrific right swing, but
failed to land in every case. Reilly
jumped in, jabbed his man IS face and
then danced away.
In the third round Reilly was even
more energetic. He led constantly and
hardly ever failed to land, although his
blows did not seem to bother the husky
sailor. Fox got in his first blow in
this round, landing on Reilly's stom-
ach with some force.
The fourth and fifth rounds were a
repetition of the third, with Reilly get
ting more energetic all the time and
the other fellow vainly trying to rush
in and land a knockout blow.
Fox landed another good one in the
sixth, this time to the jaw, but Reilly
was backing away at the time and was
not damaged to any extent. AT the
end of the seventh round neither of
the boys heard the bell. Paddy rush
ed to separate them and send them to
thought that he was merely breaking
up a clinch and went after his man
like wildfire. Only a couple of blows
were struck, however, before their Sec
onds jumped into the ring and fetched
them to their corners.
Fox tried his hardest to land the
sleep-producer in the eighth, but in
stead of that Reilly hit with his left
at every rush, landing svery time and
then following it with a sturdy right
swing that effectually stopped the rush
for the time being.
In the ninth and tenth Reilly was
doing more or less as he liked, yet the
sailor showed magnificent grit and kept
on for more of the same medi-
cine, which he received in doses of the
most allopathic variety. The sailor
was still strong at the end of the go,
but had the rounds been of three in
stead of two minutes duration accord
ing to naval rule, there is little doubt
that Reilly would have been able to
get his man.
Paddy Ryan was loudly cheered when
be stepped into the ring to referee the
first bout. 1t is certain that he has
made hit with. the sailors and the
public generally, and his work as third
nan in the ring is properly appre-
.iated.

MORPHEUS M|NGLES
WITH BALL PLAYERS

Baseball yesterday afternoon at the
League Park was very much to the
bad. 1t seemed to be case of wilful
neglect, or of dry rot in baseball senti-
ment.
The Diamond Heads and the St.
Louis were to have played the first
game, but there seemed to be a mis-
understanding as to whether it was a
league game or would could in league
results, and so there was no DISPOSE
ton on the part of anyone, especially
of the st. Louis team, TO play. There
was no official of the league present to
appeal to or to give authoritative an
nouncement on the subject, so finally,
after considerable delay, the St.
Louis Diamond Head game was de-
clared off and, in order to give those
who had paid to come in something for
their money, an exhibition game be-
tween the Diamond Heads and pick
ed team from the West Virginia and
the South Dakota was started. The
batting order of the men from the fleet
was as follows: johnson, P; Freels,
c.; Felix, h.: Dodgesworth, 2b.; Mon
roe, 3D.; O'Connor, S.; Purman, IT,;
Black, CT; Baird, RI. For the Diamond
Heads the batting order was Fernan-
dez, Fillman, Joy, Louis, Clarke, soper,
Leslie, Goldfus and Chillingworth.
Five rather Indifferent innings were
played, Indifferent SO far as the quail
itv of ball was concerned, though there
was plenty of fun in it for both play
ers and spectators. The score stood 4
to 8 in favor of the Diamond Heads,
and the game was called to make room
for the Observation-Disclosures game.
This game lasted six innings. the
score stood 10 to 0 in favor Of the
Punahous. when it was decided to draw
the mantle of oblivion over the posi-

There was another very good show
at the Independence Club yesterday,
this time in the afternoon. Charlie
Reilly made his second appearance in
Honolulu at that time, and again
proved his class to the fans by boxing
all round likely-looking youth from
the destroyer Perry by the name of
Fox.
Fox appeared to be the heavier of
the two by at least five pounds, ami
he had a considerably longer reach, but
with all these natural advantages he
was unable to reach Reilly, and the
latter hit him almost at will.
The result was called draw, as it
was agreed before the bout that if both
men were strong at the end of the
tenth round it should be called a draw
If this had not been the case, Reilly
would have easily taken the decision.
The first preliminary was funny af-
fair, because both men knew so little
of the game that they were unable to
hit each other after the first three
rounds, in which enough nose blood
was shed to fill slaughter-house. The
victims were Soldier Mccullough of
Fort Shafter and Mckay of the Penn.
sylvania.
Mccullough was up against WELL
built youth with very prominent nose.
1t looked at first that Mckay would
easily outlook his opponent, but he
soon slowed up, and in the last three
rounds both men were staggering round
the ring with siekly smiles on their
faces, feebly tanning the air in their
efforts to hit each other. Paddy Ryan
called the result draw.
The second preliminary was a go be-
tween a very classy youth from the
Pennsylvania and one Jack McFadden.
Austin was the man selected for this
go, but he was unable to appear, so
eomrade by the name of Waller took
his place. Waller is a neat boxer and
will be very clever with some more
practise and good teaching. The re-
suit of this was also very properly call
ed a draw
1t was announced from the ringside
during the first event that Attell and
Moran had fought a twenty-three
round draw in San Francisco. Before
the main event, other announcements
We're made to the effect that Waller

The Main Event.
Fox came into the ring first accom-
panied by a group of sailors, who i'm
set to work getting his cor
ner ready. Reilly was only minute
after him and for seconds he had Pete
Baron and August Reinecke. Charlie
looked very fit and happy, and one
could see that he had no doubt of his
ability to best the other fellow. Be-
fore the gong sounded it was an

DIR. Kaufman's team of lively sailors
from the Tennessee added number
three to their string of Honolulu vie
tories since they have been in port by
defeating the Washingtons yesterday
morning at the ball park by 9 to 8.
This was the first game played here
in the second series of the second di
vision, to see which team will play the
Pennsylvania for the championship OF
the fleet. The Tennessee will play the
California next Wednesday morning at
the ball park, and if they win this
game they viii be at the head of the
second series and it will be up to them
to try and lower the flag of the Penn
sylvania on their return from Samoa.
If the CALIFORNIA; win, however, they
will all be tied and will have to play
over again.
1t was a fast and snappy game, and
the score gives no idea of the excel
lent game put up by the losers. The
Tennesseeans started off with rush
in the first inning and were never head,
ed. They got such good lead that il
carried them away and they were never
in any particular danger from then till
the end of the game.
Bush went in first and bingled the
first ball. Green came up and made
another mighty swat which took Green
to second. McCafferty, the man who
hits 'em over the fence, failed to catch
the ball right and he was out at first,
but both the other men advanced one
each.
Now, DIR. Kaufman does not esteem
himself a mighty hitter, because he
pitched for many years, and a good
pitcher is seldom much of a bingler,
but in this case he belied his own esti-
nation and handed out beauty that
sent Bush and Green home. Hanus
went out at first, but the doctor had
been busy stealing bases and he romp-
ed home on a passed ball before Zehner
was out at hrst.
This made three runs, and the Ten
nessee boys felt sure of victory from
that time. The Washingtons scored
two in the first, but they scored only
once again, and that was in the fifth.
Blshos pitched an even prettier game
than he did last Saturday and did not
walk a single man.
.McCafferty suffered peculiar and
painful accident, which put him out of
the game, in the last half of the sec
ond. He was running for fly that
came towards center-field, while Hanus,
the second baseman, thinking it would
come in his territory, did the same
thing. They collided with great force
and McCafferty took his on the head.
Tt Jared him sufficiently to make 1t
unwise for him to play, so his place
was taken by Klug, who played game
as clever as his name. The othelal
score was:

LIVELY FIGHT ON
CANNED MUSIC"

Washington, Jan. "a lively war
fare is now being waged In Wash
ington between the authors and COM
posers OF musical productions, on
the one hand, and the manufacturers
OF canned music on the other.
Those who woe the muse believe
that they are entitled to n royalty
from the makers OF phonograph
records and gramophone discs who
use their musical products for me-
chancal reproduction. To accom-
plish the protection OF the bards from
the rapseity of the. soulless carpoetf
tions, Senator Kittredge has intro
duced a bill allowing composers the
control OF the mechanical rights OF
tho offspring of their brains. The
bill has met with the bitter opposi-
tion OF the mechanical music manu-
facturers, who declare that It will
probably result in one firm corner
Ing the canned music" market and
thus fostering a wicked monopoly.
The manufacturers assert that II
they are compelled 10 pay royalties
to authors and composers, II will
cost the public million dollars a
year more for It's mechanical music.
The composers reply that the talking
machine manufacturers make q
profit Of &C 2-3 per cent. on their
products and that they can we'll af-
ford to ray the poor authors a small
royalty without raising the price of
records TO the public. The battle
is being waged merrily and the un-
fortunate Solons have been forced
to give much earnest thought to the
subject Present appearances are
that the composers will win out and
that the dIsseminators OF mechanical
music will have to say by your

A certain amount OF uneasiness also
Is creeping over the friends of Sec

at least, to consideration, comes the
prediction that IL the Ohio election

Taft at Chicago, ii will result in his
defeat at the polls next November.
Incidentally, the Ohio Republican
war is giving an impetus to the
boom of Judson Harmon, OF Cincin-
natl. for the Democratic presidential
nomination. Supporters of the Gin
cinnati man declare that with Taft
as the Republican nominee, Harmon
could carry Ohio at the election and
win the presidency. They point out
that with the disaffection of the ne

power in Ohio, and the disaffection

DER CASE.

Roanoke, Va, Jan. 9.-Dr. w. S.
Butler, a well known and prominent
physician of Roanoke, has gone to
New York city to testify in the trial
of Harry X. Thaw. who is charged
with the murder OF Stanford White.
DR.. Butler was summoned to New
York by telegram received by him
from Attorney Littleton, leading
counsel for Thaw, and in response
to the telegram he Immediately left
for New York.
DR.. Buffers connection with the
case arises through the fact that
while a resident Of Staunton, va,
he had among his patients a young
man by the name of Horace Thaw,
who. it seems, is a cousin OF the de-
fendant in the famous New York
trial, and who at that time was suf-
fering from a form of insanity. II
would appear from this that Thaw's
counsel will endeavor to show a
streak of insanity in the Thaw fam

OF New York, Philadelphia, Boston,
