BOXERS LOOK
WELL MATCHED
the Winners on Friday and
Saturday win Take
Picking.

Kid Borges, who was to have boxed
a four-round preliminary on Friday
night at the Aloha Athletic Club, finds
himself without an opponent, and will
have TO wait for another opportunity
to display his proves in the roped
arena.
Joe Vierra, who was to have gone up
against him, has backed out of the
match, aud Tommy Lane, who also de-
sired a crack at Borges, now states that
he has changed his mind about boxing
the ''Kid -
Last night Manuel Reuter- and Ernest
George, two good I25-pound men, were
signed to box the eurtain-raiser on the
opening night. These lads have wanted
chance to try conclusions with each
other for long time, and each will do
his best to win when the gong sum
mons them together.
All the other boxers engaged for the
two nights card are doing well in their
training, and the men in each bout are
so evenly matched that it will be very
hard to pick a couple of winners from
the entire program.
Oakley and Richardson, who are en-
gagged to box six rounds on Friday, are
both doing lots of work at the fort.
Both lads like the game and are am
bilious to shine at it. The fact that
thew are from Fort Shafter alone as
sures good bout, for the soldier box
ers are triers, every one of them
Kahaulelio is confident of winning
from Platt. He figures that the extra
weight he carries viii help him whole
lot. Then, again, he has yet to taste
, - Jofa nj "a
many of his eountrymen who consider
their man invineible Certainly he has
done all that could be asked of him IN
his previous bouts, and not even
world IS champion could do more than
that.
Platt is boxing in better form than
he has ever shown before. He is a con-
scientious worker, and improves In his
work right along. He lost decision
to Murphy at the Orpheum, but it was
a shade affair, and on Friday be wants
to put himself right with the sporting
public again.
Joe Castro, engaged to box Kid Me-
Cullough on Saturday night IN the OPEN
ing number on the bill, appears to be
the same durable, slashing boxer as OF
wore. He loves to put the gloves on,
ana hopes bN @1aAahA HIS NeS hP *A~
pppiIistic ladder to have crack at
Young Nelson before the year is out.
Mccullough, who is a soldier, IS be
ing trained by PIatt, and is shaping
very well for a novice. He Is q glutton
for punishment, and has some punches
besides.
Kupa and Stanley COX six rounds on
Saturday. kupa showed Improvement
in his last bout, and fought game bat
tie against uphill odds. He win en-
deavor to wipe out the stain OF his de-
feat by Hart. on Saturday night, and
there are many who think that he viii
be able To DO SO.
Sailor Morch and Kid Crawford NAV |
he relied on to furnish a go which will |
he ten rounds Of real candy. These |
hovs are evenly matched. and both want |
to win in the worst possible manner IN |
order to get in line for better match |
during the stay Of the fleet. They will
weigh l35 pounds. and their condition |
when they enter the ring viii give no /
cause for criticism.
Mike Patton viii referee the two
nights bouts.
