MITSUKA MAY
MEET ROBERTS

There was much talk of wrestlers
and wrestling on the streets yesterday.
Much praise was heard for the showing
made by Froelecher, Roberts and Ka-
nae, and the opinion seemed to be that
the sailor is conner.
Mitsuka and his trainer were on
hand at the Orpheum yesterday after
noon to discuss a match with Sailor
Roberts, who was represented by Hans
Froelecher. Mitsuka s manager, X.
Ono failed to put in an appearance,
however, and the others could do moth
ing without him. The crowd waited
till nearly p. M, and then broke up,
There will be another meeting at !
p. m. today, at which it is hoped that
all interested will be present on time.
A match between Roberts and Nit
suka looks good. Roberts is strong
and clever, and the japanese is also as
strong as a bull, and is said to be the
most aggressive wrestler in the Ter
ritory. He is conceded to outclass all
the other Japanese wrestlers in Ha-

Hans Froelecher leaves for the Coast

that presents itself in his special line

ROBERTS HAS A PUDDING.
At $40 Sailor Roberts of the U. S.
5. Iroquois and Amosa Kauahi, the
longshoreman champion, appeared on
the mat. Roberts weighed III pounds
and Kauahi 10 pounds.
In less than a minute Amosa over
balanced himself and Roberts fell on
him. pinning him to the ground.
When they got going again Amosa
rushed at his man and Roberts clos
ing in on him at once had him on his
back in a twinkling.
The men left the mat, but the an
nouncer returned after minute or SC
and stated that Roberts would not
take the first fall, as Amosa had fall
en- accidentally. He said that the mer
would wrestle another fall so as to
place the issue beyond the shadow OF
a doubt.
Amosa had had enough of the sail
or's game, however and said so. He
couldn't have been dragged on the mat
again with a team of mules.
ISHOHARAS SHOWS CLASS.
Announcer Ayres. after the custom
airy interval, stated that the boxing
exhibition which had been billed was
off, owing to the indisposition of one
of the principals. A wrestling, match
between two heavyweight Japs of class
had been substituted. however. so that
faith might be kept with the house.
The japanese wrestled with girdles
and string aprons in true Nipponese
style. They We're well-built fellows,
and thorough opponents of their par
ticUlar speciality. Ishoharas, the ex-
champion, looked to be in poorer con-
dition than his heavier opponent.
Ishoharas took the first fall, and it
was a good hard one at that.
Masekeyama evened up matters in
the second period and threw his man
so decisively that he came near stun
ming him.
In the deciding bout Ishoharas took
no chances of another fall. but hung
on to his sturdy rival and awaited an
opening. Presently he secured a Cir
die hold and. after jockeying for a
while. by a great effort dumped the
big man and held him down long
enough for the referees award. The
referee of this match was a Japanese
expert at the game.
THE MAIN EVENT.
After an interval of ten minutes,
hans Froelecher and Frank Kanae
appeared and We're introduced. They
each got a liberal hand. Froelecher
was seconded by August Reinecke and
Professor Peter Baron. Kanae was
attended by Will Prestidge and Jim
Spencer.
Referee Cobb stated that certain
holds would be barred-the strangle-
hold, hammerlock. flying mare, leg-up-
the-back and full Nelson.
Kanae looked to be in the pink of
condition and tipped the beam at 1870
pounds. Froelecher seemed to be very

| finely drawn and looked small com
pared with the native. His weight
was 165 pounds.
The men soon grappled. and for g
time Kanae seemed to have a good
show of getting a fall. He forced
Froelecher about the mat, but the lat.
| ter was very wary and husbanded his
! strength till he saw an opening
Froelecher tried to trip Kanae, but
I failed, and there were great cheers fol
the native.
Again he tried to get him down
and again Frank managed to stand
him off.
Excitement was now running high
and Kanae's name was on the tongue
of every Hawaiian in the house, as
well as a good many others. The
crowd was undoubtedly with the ma
tive son.
Froelecher after seven minutes work
threw Kanae stomach down on the
mat. Shifting his tactics as quick a.
flash, from a crotch hold to half
Nelson he secured an undisputed fall.
After a rest of fifteen minutes the
men got going again.
Kanae seemed to have gained heart
by the good showing he had made and
went after his man with a will He
rushed Froelecher to the ropes. Then
he got him back to front with a waist
hold, and if he had only known how
to use his strength might have downed
the Swiss. AS it was, Froelecher
wriggled away from him.
The men pushed each other about
for several minutes more and then
Kanae began to tire, whereas Froe-
lecher seemed TO get fresher the fur
Their he went.
The hopes of Kanae's hackers rose
when the native threw Froelecher
face downward. He was slow to act,
however, and failed to follow up
his advantage. Quick as a flash,
Froelecher took his chance and
secured a fall by means of
bar Nelson and a leg hold. Kanae
looked like being pinned when he first
went down, but by desperate efforts
managed to keep one shoulder clear
of the mat and to wriggle over on
one side. There he stuck for while
"
Skill told in the long run, however,
and the second fall was registered
against the native. The fall had taken
twelve minutes to secure.
Both men were heartily cheered on
leaving the stage.
Froelecher and Roberts wound up
the program with a clever exhibition,
WHICH was one of the best things of
the evening. Froelecher aroused great
enthusiasm by taking Roberts by one
thigh and swinging him round and
round.
Will Prestidge is to be congratulated
on the fine shape in which he sent
Kanae to the contest. Peter Barons
feat of turning out a couple of win
ners from his training quarters speaks
for itself

PLANS FOR THE J
THIRTY TEACHERS

Superintendent Rabbit has made
complete arrangements for transpor-
tatien and for their stay on the coast,
for the thirty school teachers to go
from here to attend the summer ses-
sion of the University of California.
They are to leave here on the army
transport sailing from here July 6.
The summer session begins earlier
than that, but some of the courses do
not begin until July Is and so teach
ers from here can attend any of these
latter courses. In order to be back
in time for the beginning of the school
work in the fall these teachers will
have to leave San Francisco by the
transport leaving August 3. But the
question will come up at the next
meeting of the Board whether these
teachers cannot be permitted to re-
turn on the transport Leaving Septem-
Der 5, which will, bring them here
just few days after the term begins.
The fee for the summer session is
SIS, but Mr.. Rabbit has made ar
rangements for a proportionate re-
duction for teachers from here ar
irving after the session has begun.
Board can be obtained in Berkeley at
from s25 to s35 a month at places APP
proved by the deanspf the University.
During the latter part of the ses-
sion there will be a number of most
interesting excursions. One of these
VII be to Luther Burbank's farm.
Another will be to the Lick Observa-
tory.
1t has not yet been decided how
the thirty teachers who are to go will
be selected 1t will probably be by
lot. Already seventy-five of the teach
erS have made application
