MANAGER AND
BOER PASS BY
Tommy Burns Brother-in-Law
and UnhOlz En- Route
to Sydney.

huQOlpn OuHolZ anu L. " AOoCAhS
were two prominent sporting men who
came on the Alameda yesterday. They
are both bound for Sydney and will go
by the Aorangi that presumably leaves
here tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Heating is the manager and
brother-in-law of Tommy Burns and
''Boer' Unholz is the only man who
ever made Battling Nelson back up.
The former is on his way to join Tommy
in Sydney and to help him prepare for
his go with Jack Johnson on Boxing
Day." December 20.
Strangely enough, although Mr.. Keat-
ing has been looking after the American
end of Tommy's business interests, he
has seen his relation in the ring only a
few times. He is candidly anxious
about the result of the go with Johnson.
He really believes that Tommy can win
out with the big dinge, but he does
not overlook the fact that Johnson is
the cleverest big boxer the world has
ever seen and he knows that Tommy is
up against no easy game.
1t does not matter an awful lot to
Tommy if he does get his. He is going
to get $4,000 win, lose or draw, and
this amount added to the colossal sum
he has already made on this trip, viii
make him not only independent but
wealthy for life.
Mr.. Heating states that he believes
Tommy will take up his residence in
Australia. He writes that he likes the
antipodeans and finds them the grandest
sportsmen in the world. He has made
quite a wad of dough there and sees a
way to make more. He likes the people,
he likes the climate and his wife likes
it, so we may take it as an understood
fact that Tommy will remain British
subject and stay out in the land of sport
and wallabies.
Mr.. Heating is a man of a very pleas
ing and genial personality and was wei
coined by many local Elks who found
that he belonged to the order of the best
people on earth. He had short talk
with Joe Cohen on the subject Of rent
ing the Orpheum for show tonight
in which the Boer would appear, but it
was deemed advisable not to make the
attempt on so short a notice. Mr..
discovered several oldtime
acquaintance in Honolulu and will
carry the best wishes of some friends
directly to Tommy Burns.
Rude Unholz is on his way to Aus
tralia to look for some scraps. He is,
as everybody knows, a very classy
lightweight and has done some things
that nobody else could do, his recent
lefeat by the Sycamore kid, Johnny
Notwithstanding.
The first battle that Rude ever had
IN the Coast was with Jimmy Buns,
George Memsic. He put it all over
Tommy's protege in ten rounds and
then was given ten round go with
Battling Nelson in Los Angeles.
That battle is now matter of his
.ory. The indiarubber Boer went after
he Batter and literally made him stop.
Never before had such a thing been
known, and the next morning when the
papers all over the country came out
With the story, all the sports began to
lit up and take notice.
Unholz is getting a trife too ad
7anced in years to ever be a world S |
but he is clever enough to
out it over most of the Australian
ightweights and there is no reason why /,
lie should not make hit for himself !
n the new country. With him is the /
ecent Mrs. Unholz and his brother who /
5 also a boxer of no mean ability. There |
vas never fighter who had more
leasing manner and who was better /
liked than Rude Unholz, and all his /
riends and acquaintance in Honolulu
will wish him the very best of luck in
is new field of activity.
