EDDIE TAFT
GOOD BOXER
Honolulu Business Man Beat
the Best of Them at
1903 Pounds.

Eddie TAFT, who is now running an
amusement enterprise in this city, has
quite a pugilistic record, gained in
Chicago and on the Pacific Coast.
While Eddie hasn't fought any out
and-out championships. he has been
up against some of the best men OF
his weight and has generally had the
better of the deal.
TAFT, who is only twenty-three years
old, was born in Chicago and learned
the boxing game in the Windy City.
Under the management of Billy Gee
he fought fifty-two battles in Chicago
without sustaining a single defeat.
He fought from los to 112 pounds, and
among those whom he met We're Nor
ris Rauch, Dusty Miller. Tommy
Thomas, Jack Rohen and Johnny
Moran, the latter of whom he knock
ed out in five rounds. IL Chicago he
fought under the name of Jimmy
Tater.
!. After leaving Chicago TAFT went to
Hot Springs, Arkansas, and acted for
a while as sparring partner to Bat
thing Nelson. At Hot Springs he had
several fights, drawing with Tommy
Gilfeather and winning from Tommy
Cody.
In San Francisco he knocked out
Harry Tenny in three rounds, and put
Frank Vail away in the same number
of rounds.
After fighting round San Francisco
for a while, TAFT went on the trans
ports and worked on them for a long
time, fighting a plumber of battles at
sea with uniform success.
One time, while the transport
Thomas was in port. he boxed an ex-
hibition with Jack McFadden over the
store of the now defunct firm of Woods
& Sheldon.
One of the toughest men he whipped
was Jimmy Brennan of Fan River,
who once fought a draw with Martin
best.
TAFT today weighs 1874 pounds
stripped, and is confident that he
could make 125 pounds at p. m.
nicely.
He believes himself to be as good
today as he ever was and may be seen
in the ring in Honolulu in the near
future in a contest for the lightweight
championship of Hawaii

gar on the island; they are said to
| be as rare in Hawaii as green horses.
/ The Kanakas we have seen so far are
! all good-looking; the carriage of both
! men and women is remarkably upright
! and digniffed. Not even the unsightly
/ holoku introduced by the mission
| aries, I beIieve) can hide the native
| grace of the women, although they
| are, for the most part, prone to fat
| ness.
| The upper portion of the excellent
road to the Pail was sprinkled with
| crude oil. There is a regular Colorado
! wind blowing most of the time, ard
| the traveller is grateful that the dust
i is kept down, even though the smell
/ is not agreeable. The view from the
summit is magnificent The Pail rises
perpendicularly from a great basin,
once perhaps an inland lake or arm
of the Pacific, now verdure-covered.
! A bastion-nke earth wall separate
| you from the sheer descent of some
| 800 feet-it seemed miles to me as,
with palpitating heart, looked over
| the edge. The bastion was not there
| when Kamehameha l. attacked the is-
land and drove some 1000 Oahuans up
the Pail and over this edge. Beyond
the green fields in the basin below one
| sees the tremendous surf of the tur-
| quoise Pacific as it rolls in toward
| Diamond Head; on the wfndward side
of the island arise splendid precipitous
hills verdure-clad, cut by rugged
| ravines and cascades that are dis
| solved into clouds of spray before
they reach the valleys below.
On the way back we stopped at q
| Chinese poi house. In the city poi is
now. made by machinery; in the coun-
| try the primitive way of pounding 1t
with a big stone pestle still remains.
To make poi, the taro root (Colocasia
esculenta) is first baked in under
ground ovens. 1t is then pounded
upon a scooped-out wooden board until
| the close-grained, waxy substance is
made into a paste. Water is added
and the paste kneaded, then it is set
| aside and allowed to fferment for a
| longer or shorter period. The eating
| of poi by the natives Is rather a queer
proceeding. A finger or two are
| dipped into the bowl of paste, stirred
about quickly and as quickly trans
| ferred to the mouth, where the sticky,
/ starchy mess is sucked off. The Chi
nese have taken hold of the manufac-
/ ture of this, the principal food Of the
i islands, and the Kanakas are glad To
| buy from them. The latter never
| seem to object to anyone else's doing
manual labor.
i Our Chinese politely showed US his
| little plant, which was exceedingly
! primitive and absolutely clean. He
| had married a native woman who,
| with a couple of pretty little Chino
! Kanakas, was furtively watching us.
I am told that the native woman
rather prefers a Chinese husband. The
| latter is Industrious, domestic, kind
fand a good provider. And If. in the
course of time, the call of his other.
, Acknowledged spouse, or of his native
| rice fields become too urgent, and he
| leaves for the land of his birth, he
provides generously for his Hawaiian
| family before he sails away.

JUNE 29-Tutt, Stimson and Thayer
visited the camp of the L. s. 10th IN
fantry, and dined with Captains Heidi
and Ingham. After dinner they were
taken to Waikiki Beach. where they
enjoyed the bathing. Thayer felt so
vigorous that the Commodore had to
remind him repeatedly that he must
not strain his heart swimming too
far. Our little ouartermaster does not
seem to realizs that he was seriously
i'll only a few weeks ago.
I have bought some books on the
history and language of the islands,
and spent a good part of the day
aboard, reading. In the afternoon I
went to the University Club for an
hour. 1t seems queer to find a club
of this character on a little island in
mid-Pacif1c. a club having member
men predominating.
In the evening we gathered on the
deck of the Anemone. The moon shone
brightly; it was beautiful night AS
light breeze was blowing insI1ore,
we were not troubled by mosquitoes,
but, to compensate for their absence,

and blasted. Big fragments of rock
occasionally fell within twenty yards
of the Anemone.
JUNE 3O-At nine o'clock this morn
ing we started for drive to the Pail,
one of the most beautiful viewpoints
in the world. We had two carriages
Commodore Sinclair and his son, Tut,
Thayer and myself in one; Stimson,
and Vetter, Overton and DR.. Milbank
Johnson of Sinclair's party in the
other. The road leads through the
charming Nuuanu Valley, past some
of the prettiest homes and gardens of
Oahu. Commodore Sinclair has visit
ed the islands several times. His love
for nature, wide experience and keen
intellect make him a most delightful
and instructive guide. He pointed out
to us the algaroba, the mesquite Of
the Southwest, which has become of
very great value on the islands; the
royal Hawaiian palm. the tree of trees
in beauty and symmetry; the Austria
liam eucalyptus, the graceful papaya
and other palms, and the taro-the
Hawaiian staff of life.
AS the road left the valley and be-
came sleeper, I was struck with the
absence of cattle on the large ex-
panses of apparently fine grass which
covered the hillsides. Mr.. Sinclair in
formed me that the grass is unfortu-
nately useless: cattle and sheep will
not eat it. Now and then some Chi
nese carts passed us: near pretty
fiower-framed little houses we saw

Hubbard dress, and children in SIM

HACK. MADE
HEAVY SQUEAL

Hackenschmidt emitted a pitiful Sc
ries of squeals on returning 20 Eng
land.
In an interview published in the
Daily Mail he says that Gotch's body
was covered with oil and that the
referee refused to take cognizance of
the fact He further states that Gotch
dug his finger-nails in his face and
tried to pull his ear off, and to poke
his thumb in his eye. He fought
more like a cat than a man." said
Hack.
The Russian admits that he did not
train for Gotch as hard as he should
have done, and says that he monly
went to the Chicago Athletic Club,
where he was to have done his train
ing. twice, on account of the clubs
attitude toward him.
Hack further alleges that Gotch
seized his big toe and tried to Grip
pie him by breaking the bone. He re-
fers to Gotch's work in this respect as
butchery.
With regard 10 ms future intentions
Hackenschmidt said:
Il have not the slightest intention
of retiring. I shall keep all my Brit
