REILLY HAS A
STRENUOUS TIME
Three Sparring Partners Make
Honolulu Favorite Do
His Best.

At the Marine camp yesterday after
noon there was considerable excite
ment. Reilly took on three different
sparring partners, and, when he got
through. one could not see the gym
nasium for the fuzz that was flying.
The first victim was that poor old
razor edge, Dial Fahy. He lasted just
two rounds, and then told Reilly that
he had a date to take a swim at Wal
kiki. The last that was seen of him
he was lying on cot at the Queen s
Hospital, singing that sweet refrain
entitled "When momma spanked me,
oh, it hurt, but not so much as this.
Then came one 'Limey' Richards.
He is a marine with a great muscular
development, which he likes to show
to the best advantage. While he was
cranking up his biceps and winding
line around his extensor maximimolars,
Charlie biffed him one on the noise
factory and "Limey' began to wake
up. The good marine drew himself
back and made a noise like sixteen
ligaments all cracking at one time. He
put his chin on his bosom and stuck
his left out straight in front of him.
Finally he let go right swing that

Then Something Happened.
There followed a great set-to, and it
is hard to say what was left when the
dust of battle cleared. ''Limey" went
into the dressing room and kept six
big marines guessing for one hour as
to whether he should take his supper
through the back of his neck or down
through the top of his think tank. The
final verdict was that the camp car
penter should take a three-inch augur
and make a new opening for the fod-
der chute. That was the best they
could do.
Sarconi Makes Pie.
After Reilly had slipped the goods
over on both these worthless, Bugler
Sarconi came out fer a piece of pie.
He got six different kinds, including
plum and lemon cream. But he had
little on the pastry cook order him
self, and was obliging enough to give
Reilly nice slice on a plate.

Cullen Doing Well.
Dick Cullen did his usual stunts yes
terday. He made some live goings
with Terry and one or two other local
boys who were anxious to get a chance
to take some exercise and to learn
something of the manly art from this
acknowledged master.
1t may be prophesied without exag-
geration that this mill will be as keen
and clean contest as has ever been
put on here. Both lads are above any
suspicion of not doing their best, and
neither one can afford to lose Reilly
is well known as a clean little gentle
man, and Cullen has impressed every
body as being of the same stamp. The
meeting should be an excellent draw
ing card. Notice of the place of meet
ing will be given tomorrow
