tunate Victim.
Mr.. Darmody Is One Of the Best
Known Railroad Men of the City

closed that Jerry r. Damody, Erie
conductor, who resides at No. 143
North Prospect street, was serious
ly injured in motor car wreck oc-
curing on the Chicago South-side
elevated road about O'Clock this
morning. The first messages re-
eeived stated that Mr.. Darmody was
fatally injured, having sustained
serious internal injuries. Later
messages, however, informed. that he
had been seriously but not fatally
injured.
Mr.. Darmody lett this city last
night on a special immigrant train
running as second No. 3. 1t is sup
posed that he arrived in Chicago
about 8 o'clock this morning and
had boarded the elevated train bound
for his hotel, when he met with the
unfortunate accident.
But few details of the accident are
known here. The train that was
wrecked was the south bound elevat-
led. The car, for some unkonwn rea-
lson, jumped the track and plunged
lheadlong into the street., landing on
the roof of one story building.
About twenty persons in all were in
jured and IL Is said Mr.. Darmody
was the most unfortunate.
John Darmody. a brother OF the In
jured man received telegram, dis
closing the news of the accident and
,instructing him to notify the fam
4 lily. The message stated that the
injured man was taken to the Wes-
,ley hospital and that the physicians
pronounced his condition serious.
Messages received at the local rail-
road offices stated that the Marion
man had both legs badly sprained
and bruised and had sustained
Isevere bruises over the entire body
The reports received were so varied
In their meaning that the family OF
the injured man is greatly alarmed
The late reports, however, afforded
the family considerable relief, and 1t
is certain that he was not so badly
injured as was first inferred.
Mr.. John Darmody left for his
brothers's bedside late this al
ternoon, and in case that his
condition is not too serious the in
jured man will be brought home.
Mr.. Darmody Is one of the best
known railroaders of the city. For
nearly twenty-three years he has
been employed as conductor on the
Erie railroad and for the past sew
eral years has been running on reg
ular passengers between this city and
Chicago. The extreme anxiety OF a
host of friends was aroused today
when the news of his unfortunate
accident reached the city.
Late TINS a-'ernoon, the Mirror re-
ceived the following telegram from
Chicago:

SOUTH DAK0TAS
Baseball Game This Morning
Will Say if Tennessees
Play in Finals.

The Tennessee team will play the
South Dakotas again this morning at
the ball park. The League has cour-
teously offered the use of the grounds
to the feet when there is nothing else
doing there and so the Tennessees will
again do battle with the Dakotas.
The exact position of inter-feet base
ball is this. The Pennsylvanias are the
acknowledged champions of the First
Division and there must be champion
from the Second Division to play them.
The Washington and California teams
are tied at present. The South Dakotas
have not won single game so that, if
the Tennessees win today, they viii be
tied with the Washington and Califor-
MIA.
In that case the three of them mHst
play off. The Tennessees must beat
both the Washington and California in
order to win the first place in the Sec
ond Division. If the Tennessees fail
10 ueIedG the sOdhOSdS iHlS AHOAhInS thSy
will be out of the running and the
Washingtons and CALIFORNIA; will play
one game for the championship.
If, however, Dr. Kaufman and his
team of eolotomists beat the South Da-
kotas then there will be a triangular
series between the Washingtons, Cali
fornias and Tennessees and the team
that beats both the others will be the
champions of the Second Division.
There is a great deal of interest at
taehed to this series as the Pennsylva-
MAS have held the championship for
some time and have been almost irwin
chile. The Second Division has bunch
that they can put their mark on the big
pennant that hangs in the Admiral's
cabin and are anxious to beat the Penn
sylvanias to the mooring.
The game today will be holly con-
tested. Feliz, the original base stealer
of the Dakotas will be there with
dark lantern, kit of tools and big
jimmy and may be expected to do
things. There were times, last Thurs
day, when it looked as though the Da-
kotas would get ahead and beat the
Southerners and they may well be in
a position to keep the Partners out of |
the finals of the series.

NO GAMES BETWEEN
LOCALS AND FLEET

There will be no baseball between
fleet teams and those of the local
League. This was decided at meeting
of the League yesterday afternoon.
As stated in yesterdays Advertiser,
the fleet athletic management felt that,
as they were not allowed to participate
in the gate receipts, all sailors should
be admitted free.
The League could not see it that way
and so there will be no games as stated
to be possible yesterday.
kYhe League starts its second series
this afternoon with a double-header.
The Diamond Heads and Punahous will
play the first game while the Saint
Louis and Kamehamehas viii hook up
for the second event. There will be
no ball at the ball park tomorrow.
The Diamond Heads have great ac-
QUESTION in Charlie Albright who will
be at number six for them. This spry
young ball player is dandy shortstop
and we may be sure that there viii be
few hot ones go by second base as
long as he is on watch.

lands would have been first and second
in the steer roping, but his tima of
las 1-5 dropped him into third place.
The first man to congratulate the Ha.
waiians was a young man in the uni,
form of a second lieutenant of cavalry,
also Hawaiian, and the only one to
hold commission in the army.
"Win you come back againg" they
asked Purdy, the new champion.
NO he said; "next year we viii
send few more boys; the mountains
in my country are full of champions. :"
And if they are anywhere near as good
as Ikua Purdy, our Westerners must
improve wonderfully before we can
hope to bring the championship back
to this country. In the four trials the
Hawaiians never missed cast, never
failed to bust promptly and hard, and
with the exception, of Kaaua's wrest-
ling bull, have excelled all our men in
tying.

FAMOUS CASTAWAYS
PREPARE FOR RUGBY

The famous Castaway Rugby team
of Los Angeles is going ahead again
this year. A clipping from the Los
Angeles Times tells that Tom Higgins
has been elected captain and an execu-
tive committee has been appointed to
arrange dates.
They will have games with California
and Stanford, Santa Clara College and
st. Mary's College as well as all the
High Schools in the south of the State.
Several new members have enrolled
themselves and the team viii probably
be more of a champion than last year
when they defeated everything in sight.
Pat Higgins, the famous Australian
was captain last season
and it is his cousin who takes the job
this time. Both men are world famous
athletes and the other thirteen are
pretty nearly as well known.
It is expected that they win make
northern trip this season and, if so, we
shall certainly hear of long string OK
victories. /

BRITISH SPORTSMAN
FAVORS MORAN

F. Miner, well known British
sportsman, passed through Honolulu
yesterday on his way to Shanghai
aboard the Hongkong Maru. He wit
messed both the KetchelThomas and
Gans-N Nelson fights and has some very
interesting dope on the subject.
81 feel quite sure said he, "that
Cans will beat Nelson when he fights
him next Wednesday in San Francisco.
am not saying that Cans threw the
fight in their last meeting, but I saw
enough to make me very sure that he
will be the winner at their next meet
ing.
''Ketchel is a wonder and I make no
bones about calling him the coming
heavyweight champion. He made a
very easy thing of Thomas and put him
away almost before we knew what was
happening.
$50 far as the Attell- Moran fight is
concerned, I believe that Labor Day
will see a new featherweight champion

velously clever lad and has punch that
AttelI never had and never will have.

San Francisco boy and take away that

BOUT ASSURED
Two Classy Heavyweights Viii
Box for Fleet Champion
ship Tonight.

Higgins and Gunboat Smith will posi-
lively appear in the ring tonight at
the Independence Club in the Midway.
There was general rumor circulated
round town yesterday that Higgins did
not wish to 60 on, as he was not in
condition. This rumor is incorrect and
Mr.. Higgins has stated to the promot-
ers of the bout that he will be there
at the ringside at the time specified
1t is going to be great mill. Hig-
gins is named as the champion of the
feet and Smith and his supporters feel
sure that he can outpoint him in ten
round go. There is no pecuniary feel
ing at the back of this; it is the best
of sportsmanlike spirit. Each man
thinks he is the better and they will
box their hardest to prove it.
Gunboat Smith is tickled to death to
have this chance and we may be sure
that Higgins is not holding back. They
are in the heavyweight class and the
larger men may always be relied on to
put up hard battle.
just who will be in each man s cor
ner could not be learned for certain
last night, but the best of che hackers
from each ship who can get away, will
be in the corners and there will surely
be great roofing aggregation to en-
courage the boxers.
Two classy preliminaries have been
arranged. Wahilani, who gained the
decision over Soldier Mccullough last
Saturday night, will box eight rounds
with Young Sharkey at about 40
pounds and two classy welterweights,
Murphy of Fort Shafter and Emilia
from the Pennsylvania will go six
rounds as a curtain raiser.
The promoters, Jack Scully and Pad
dy Ryan have everything nicely ar
ranged to accommodate large crowd
and they state that the ushering will
be properly done. This is a great point
at boxing contest and it is pleasant
to know that you are going to be shown
to your seat without lengthy argu-
ment with somebody who has stolen in
from the gallery.
The ring has been padded and COW
cred and the ropes stretched taut, the
seats are in, the bleachers built and
everything is ready for the big doings

The 'Tisers are all bedecked with
two coats of war paint and they are

The boys employed in the Advertiser
office and printing department have
two world beating teams. They have
been invited to take these two world
heaters to Waialua tomorrow and wipe
the earth with the home teams. Will
they do it9 Can you doubt it7
The Waialuas are crack team, of
course they are, otherwise the 'Tisers
would not butt up against them. They
have pitchers who never walked man,
catchers who never passed a ball, first
basemen who never made an error and
out fielders who never missed a fly.
That is what the Waialuas have; but
Just think, of the starry aggregation
that they will be up against. Oh what
a chance for those Waialuas. Chancef
Not a one in the world.
All joking aside both visitors and
hosts have good players and there will
be "a couple of mighty good games to-
morrow out at Waialua. After the
games there will be 1uau and the Wis.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26--Professor
Sakayei Takahashi, one of the seven
professors Of Japan whose opinion on
public matters have more or less
weights in Japan arrived in New
York yesterday after visit through
the southwest and south of Europe.
He will remain here for some months,
his idea being to lecture to Ameri-
cans on Japan and and on his return
to his own country to teach American
methods OF his fellow countrymen.
Professor Takahashi derides the
idea that there is any possibility of
war between the United States and
Japan. In an interview he said:
Il find that the American people
are for peace. | am positive that war
between this country and Japan will
never come. The two nations could
not afford TO hight because 1t would
be detrimental to their interests. /
find that the only war talk is in the
United States. One hears nothing of
it in the empire of Japan; we don't
even think of such thing. Every

the educated people of this country
are very friendly toward Japan. APP
parently only the hoodlums are try
ing to create trouble. But we have
the utmost confidence in President
Roosevelt. AS for the sailing of the
