program in the Orrheum theater Sat
urday evening-the bulk of the fight
ing was earnest, honest and fair. EX-
cept for small question mark after
the work of Jackson in his battle
with Sarconi, there could not be any
just criticism of any part Of the pro-
gram. Mr.. Cohen and his assistants,
as we'll as the participants in the
events, are to be congratulated upon
pulling off a program that was mani
testify so clean.
The crowd was not a big one, and
the promoters of the entertainment
were doubtless out of pocket. Counter
attractions emptied the better seats,
and only a half of the auditorium
was filled-marines and soldiers maxi
ing up a large per cent of the au-
dience.
w. Warham was announcer and
Jimmie Fox referee.
The first bout was to have been a
four-round go between Corporal Hull,
of Camp Very, and Private Zagezew-
ski, of Fort Shafter. The latter was
by far the better built man, although
Hull showed from the start that he
had the fight game down finer than
his lusty opponent. The first round
was largely a hugging match until
near the end when the man with the
queer name caught Hull in the jaw
and he went down. The corporal was
quickly up but just then the gong
sounded. In the beginning of the sec
ond round Gage was caught off his
guard, knocked down and came near
taking the count. Hull followed this
lead with terrific punishment about
| the face, causing the nose of his OPP
| ponent to bleed But then the Rus
sian got busy. A terrific blow in the
jaw sent Hull down ana he came up
staggering. Two seconds later he
went down to stay Zagezewsld prov
ed to have a terrible punch. He land
ed square only three times, and each
Of those times Hull hit the floor.
Hull, on the other hand, found his
opponent many times, but, except for
the punches in the nose, did not seem
| to bother him at ALL
STANLEY VS.. FERNANDEZ.
The contest between Stanley, of the
Honolulu Iron Works, and Young
Fernandez, the new discovery" was
over in just sixty seconds. Fernan-
tiez showed up we'll in the ring, while
Stanley, from his peaked nose down,
| looked like a mat of wires Stanley
did all the fighting. and near the end
of the first round caught his oppon-
ent under the neck and 1attened him
that he was afraid of Stanley, and
this nervousness was his undoing
| JACKSON AND SARCONI.
The bout between Nigel Jackson, OF
Marathon fame and Sarconi the bug
ler-fighter of Camp Very, was a pecu-
! liar affair. From first to last Jack
son did not hit hard enough to stop
a kitten, although some of his taps
were well directed. Sarconi landed
three stingers in the first, principally
back of the neck but Jackson came
back with some good, although weak,
ones near the wind. In the second
round numerous blows were exchang-
ed. Jackson got a cut on the law and
later took a jab that sent him down
At end of round Jackson, with blood
on his face and shoulder, did not look
much like a candidate for the ban
zais. In the first part of the third
round there was some lively scrap
ping, at the end of which Jackson re-
ceived a bangor in the jaw which put
him to sleep. AS he fell Sarconi adj
ministered something that looked sus-
piciously like punch, and there were
cries of foul" Not allowed, how
ever.
Cat Athletic park yesterday AFTER
noon, Jackson stated that he and Sar-
conf had arranged to make the fight
a draw, but that Sarconi had not
stuck by the arrangement. How's
thatO
COLL AND MCCULLOUGH.
The battle between Jack Coll, of
Camp Very, and Mccullough, the
iron man." of Fort Shafter, was the
event of the evening. In this bout
Coll won the praise of everybody for
his scientific work When it came to
brute strength and ability to take
punishment, however. he was not in
it for minute with Mccullough, Be
sides, he lacked wind.
In the first, second and third rounds
Mccullough did all the leading. Col
found his man many times but his blows
were not damaging until the end OF
of the fourth, when ne caught McCol-
Tough heavy one on the nose, caus-
ing that member to bleed profusely.
During all this time Coll proved a
master at delivering his Flow and
jumping away; rushing and lodging
This kind Of fighting kept up through
