Sport Notes

The Fort Shafter baseball players
willingly accept Sergeant Barry's ehal-
lenge for game between their team
and that of the N. G. H. They even
go so far as to intimate that they can
do things to said N. G. Il. players. All of
which goes to show that it will be a hot
game. A little friendly talk from both
sides would be very acceptable, the
more exaggerated the better.

MIQUE MAKES
EXPLANATION

81 am absolutely open to do what.
ever the public wants. said Mique
Fisher yesterday afternoon. elf ]
had thought that dividing my team
into two parts would have been a sue
cess and would have been the means of
giving a good exhibition of baseball, ]
would have agreed to the suggestion.
But previous experience has proven to
me that you can not divide team up
in this way and get good ball.
When you take and set the players
round the field, not only in positions
to which they are unused, but also next
to men to whom they are unused, they
will not begin to play team game and
that means they VIII not play good
baseball. For this reason I am opposed
to the division suggestion.
"Another reason that [ might sug-
gest is that I, personally, am satisfied
that the local boys will put up a very
fine game both on Saturday and Sun
day You may not believe it, but I
expect Reuter-, and Bliss to be an al
mighty dangerous battery, and I think
the fans will go up in the air when
they see what will happen.
"Then on Sunday when Burns goes
in the box for the locals you are going
to see something drop. Burns is nuts
to win that game. He saw what hap
pened to Pat Donahue last year when
he won the game for the Honolulu boys,
and you bet your life that he wants to
repeat the act. 1t is a cinch that no.
body is going to wallop Burns any to
speak of, and the fielding will not be
hard. You may rest assured that both
on Saturday and Sunday my players
are going to have all they can do to
win out, and I, for one, would not be
at all surprised to see two victories
chalked up against the Reach team

BLISS WILL
CATCH TODAY
Local Team Expects to Do Big
Things With Borrowed
Catcher.

The game today bids fair to be
radical improvement on the preceding
ones. Not because Louie Soares viii
not be catching but because Bliss will
hold that position and he is a man of
great experience and can hold the local
players together, being stranger, in
way that Louie could never hope
to do.
The boys will take a bunch from a
man like Bliss in way that they never
would from Louie, whom they have
known all their lives and we shall see
bunch of good team mates walk out
on the field when Mique gets through
running fifty yard dashes with himself.
It is a very ironical fact that the
stepping out of the most reliable man
on the field, will be the means of bet.
tering the team. But so it is. If Louie
had come from the Coast with just the
same amount of ability and experience
as he has now, or even less, he would
have been able to hold the team just
as we hope Bliss will do today.
There have been some slight changes
made with regard to the sports. In
the vice versa race there will be a
third contestant to add excitement to
the doings. En- Sue will run hundred
yards forwards, Devereaux will run
fifty yards backwards and Fl. NJ Ayres
will walk fifty yards forwards. Who
will win is matter of great comment
and conjecture round town. The gen.
eral opinion seems to be that Red Dog
will win by a close margin while En-
Sue and Ayres win make close thing
of it. Jack Scully will act as starter.
Mique Fishers challenge to any two
hundred and twenty pound man on the
islands for fifty yard dash, has been
accepted by Arthur McDufie, winner
of the last heavyweight walking match
He has posted one hundred dollars with
Jack Scully and Mique has done the
same, the winner to take the pot. This
race will be on Sunday as Mr.. Me-
Duffie cannot get away this afternoon.
Mique states that, shonld any other
heavyweight take him up this after
noon, he will call the McDufie match
off as he does not feel like racing two
days in succession.

PETERSON HAS
A HARD RIGHT
MiddleWeight Let's Go While
Sparring and Doubles
Nelson Up.

Peterson let it 60 yesterday. Just
once, only once, but, oh, it was a
hummer, a whanger and a Finger 1t
was that right of his, and it caught big
Nelson somewhere in the neighborhood
of the pie receptacle and doubled him
through the ropes.
1t was a joyful crowd of admirers
who watched that particular right de-
livery. Peterson has been gaining quite
a host of admirers since his stay here,
as much by his jolly smile as by his
undoubted cleverness and ability, and
they have been watching him very
closely to see if he really has laud-
able punch He has. He has one that
is entered at Stationer's hall, marked
Al at Lloyd's, charted by the Trinity
Bros, gets free passes to all the
shows, and dresses for dinner every
night In other, if less plain, words
it is the real thing.
Peterson Likes Work.
Peterson belongs to that class OF
boxers who are really fond of work, and
it agrees with him. A new admirer
one of the very serious kind who stud
les dope at breakfast, plays solitaire
against an imaginary Chinaman, and
beats the ponies in his diary, took il
upon himself to intimate to this boxer
that he was running chance of going
stale by doing so much work.
"Work answered Peterson
"Works Huh, you don't know what
work is. Why, 1 haven't started regu-
lar training yet. Say, how much do you
think I have taken off since [ have
been here?' The serious one mildly
suggested three or four pounds. "Put
it the other way, Boz was the reply.
81 have gained that much and then
you accuse me of CHANGING getting
stale Never while Willie puts on the
avoirdupudding.
Young Scotty did not get any right
arm ehin-lifters from his big principal
as, being smaller man, Peterson con-
tents himself with clever leading and
feinting and does not let out cider
presses. The former is in excellent
shape and is learning all the time. He
may be relied on to put up dandy go
with the hard-hitting soldier from
Fort Shafter.
Nelson Is Learning.
Nelson is coming along ali the time.
When next a right of such oot-pulling
proportions comes his way, he will
block it or try his best to do so. He is
learning something every day and could
hardly have a better instructor than
Peterson, who has an even temper and
is clever at all stages of the game.
Nelson viii! have co learn much be-
fore he goes against man of real class,
and he will make big mistake if he
butts in too soon. There is an excel
lent chance for tyro to get on with
good men in Honolulu, very much bet
ter than anywhere else. On the Coast,
for instance, managers would laugh
at an unknown man who even suggest
ed going on with anybody like Dick
Sullivan, as Nelson's manager did. Go
slow, learn to box and take on the easy
marks until You get Jerry to the game

Dick Pleased With Camp.


Dick Sullivan is very much taken
with the Fort Shafter gymnasium as
training quarters. 1t makes him think
of home and the big training places. 1t
really is as near perfect as one could
imagine, save only for the distance
from the ocean. But then many boxers
do not need sea water, while Others
never feel really fit unless they get
the touch of old Mother Ocean every
day.
Hercules is progressing very satisfae-
torily. Sullivan is not prepared to
wager his share of the purse on his
sparring partner, but he is doing his
best to put the redoutable Greek in
shape and teach him how to box and,
if anybody can do it, good old Dick
surely can.
There is one thing about Hercules
that training has brought sout, and that
is that he has no paper jaw. He tool
one on the speak bone the other day
that would have put Bill Squires out
six times. Naturally enough his jaw
was severely Jared and Hercules talks
with one side of his face and eats pre-
digested oatmeal.
Mccullough has been doing some OF
his work with Dick and some with other
soldiers at the fort. He seems to be
doing well, although suffering from a
slight indisposition the last few days.
He has quite recovered now, however,
and is training as vigorously as ever,
Dick took day off on Wednesday
and went out to the ball game instead
of boxing. He figures that an occasional
days rest from boxing is better than
two days extra work, and finds that
this principle works very well with
him.
Stuck in the Mud,
Yesterday morning Sullivan started
out on the road. There had been enough
rain to make the roads pretty muddy
and, as it looked like more rain, Dick
struggled into rubber boots, slickers
and Southwestern belonging to frankie
Smith and started gaily off.
He progressed about two miles along
the beach road and then struck across
the fields until he came to patch of
thick mud and stopped gaily into it.
The mud scattered all over his face,
but he didn't care, and plowed on his
way. Half way through the patch he
stuck with his right foot, so he pulled
his leg out and then tried to pull the
boot after him. In doing this the other
leg stuck, and he had to get out of
that boot.
There he was with both feet bare
sloshing around in the slime, vainly
trying to pull a pair of rubber boots
out of the mud. The natural conse
quence was that he slipped and fell
and had to crawl out of the slicker
coat to get free. Finally he managed
to rescue his clothing and got friend
" wagon driver to give him lift back
TO town. He tried to square the driver,
but there was nothing doing and that
is how the story leaked out. Now
frankie Smith complains that when
he turned the hose on the boots most
of the rubber came away with the mud

LIVES IN A TREE STUMP
Man With Fat Wife and oeven Chill
dren Has Remarkable Home


Seattle. Wash, July 10.-With sew
en- children and a fat wife, John Sci
vert, lately from Iowa, is living in a
stump in the northern part of tnis
city.
Selvert came here several months
ago. He had but little money and a
large family. Because OF the great
boom here he was unable to find an
empty house, and resolved to build
one OF his own. He bought an unim.
proved lot in the northern part of the
city in a district where logging oper-
ations ceased but year ago and on
going out to plan his house he found
half the lot occupied by a gigantic
cedar stump 80 feet high and IS feet
in diameter, 10 feet above ground.
With an augur and a saw Selvert
cut out a seven foot section from the
South end and walked into his stump
The walls were found to be 10 inches
thick and the whole stump was hol
low snell He cut out windows, laid
a tight floor and made a ceiling OF
planking and flooring.
With a ladder he cut another door
~ feet above ground went inside and
made the windows for the second
story The third story was construct
ed and tight roof of shiplap and
shingles was made over the top.
Selvert peeled off the bark and
painted the stump a light green and
the window and door frames pure
white The whole makes a very pref
~ home at a cost of only $40 and the
owner has refused $4,000 for mis- uni
que abode.
