MIR. coRDELL's STATEMENT.
Hnnolnln. Univ IA ia

n0Hoiu4u, july Ii, 1879.
Editor Advertiser: I desire to make
public statement in the columns of
your valuable paper. in order to clear
up any misunderstanding the public
may have, in regard to my business re-
lations with Mr.. Cohen.
In the first place, / was engaged to
go to Honolulu TO box Dick Sullivan,
by Mr.. Sol. Levensen, of San Francisco.
California. | had never, prior to com
ing here, met Mr.. Cohen, but my trans
portation to and from Honolulu was
whom I had previous business relations.
/ was under no contract whatsoever,
either with Mr.. Levenson or Mr..
Cohen. as to the number of boxing con-
tests | would engage IN in Honolulu.
After my arrival in Honolulu, and
prior to the contest with Sullivan. I
asked Mr.. Cohen what purse he offered
for the bout, and he informed me that
he offered a purse Of $500, to be equally
divided between Dick Sullivan and nv
self, that is to say $3.50 each, win or
lose If I made good in this first con-
test with Sullivan. then ether arrange
ments would, be made between us. At
ter the contest with Sullivan, learned
that Mr.. Sullivan had received 1878
for this contest instead of $3.50, az
I had been previously told by Mr..
Cohen. I also found that the sum of
$3.50 would not compensate me should
7 remain. for the reason that all train
ing and living expenses had to come
ont of the $3.50 paid me by Mr.. Cohen.
This naturally left but little for N.Y.

TAvAREs REBUKEs scULLY

Editor Advertiser: It would be af-
fording me and my friends great
favor to allow me sufficient space in
your paper to answer Mr.. Seullv's let
ter, published in yesterdays issue of
the Bulletin.
My sworn statement, which he saws
he saw published in the Advertiser,
must have somewhat disturbed him for,
IN q mood self-assuring. and under
estimating the value of she truth. he
comes out swearing by all the gods
that my statement was all false and
unreasonable, as if the good people of
Honolulu would give any credence to
his outcries. He fears. Mr.. Editor.
that perhaps my sworn statement is too
true, and might be harmful to his ar
engagements now progressing, by which
he expects to profit handsomely.
In the first place, Mr.. Seully states

OAHU LEAGUE
OPENS TODAY

The new Oahu League will have it's
opening games at the Athletic Park
this afternoon The affair will be con-
Quoted with much proper ceremony
and there will be a grand parade before
the games, starting at 1890 from Fort
and King streets
Tn this parade will be all the Off.
GERS and teams of the senior and junior
League as well as Mayor Fern and
Major Long who will pitch and bat the
first ball respectively.
The first game will be between Dom
Paul S terrible Kalihi team and the
Marines. starting promptly at 1880
while the second contest will be be-
tween the G. A. G. and the J. A. C.
A feature of the afternoon will be
the temperance of our one and only
Jack Doyle who has promised to dec
crate the bleachers and encourage or
denounce the players with his mighty
stentorian tones Jack will doubtless
enjoy watching live game of bail

fans win enjoy having him there TO

penses. / found that if / were paid an
additional 500, which would make it
$3.50, I could afford to remain, other
wise there would be nothing in it for
me to remain in Honolulu, and / would
be better off in San Francisco. The
fact that Sullivan got more than I did,
was immaterial to me, but figuring my
expenses, and likewise the fact that ]
had Hmade good'' were my reasons for
asking Mr.. Cohen for the additional
800. In the presence of Mr.. Jack
Densham, the sporting editor of the
Advertiser, he told me on Saturday,
July 10, that he could not afford to give
me the additional sum asked for the
reason that the seating capacity of the
Orpheum would not stand for the in
crease. The incident was then closed,
and he offered to pay my transportation
back to San Francisco, as previously
agreed between Mr.. Levenson and my
self. / then made arrangements to
leave on the next steamer. On the
following day, Sunday, July IL, Mr..
Cohen made a public statement in the
Advertiser that the return match be-
tween Sullivan and myself was off so
far as he was concerned. This certain
1v settled all arrangements between
Cohen and myself. and | began to make
arrangements for my departure for San
Francisco.
On Sunday evening, July II, Mr..
Jack Seully, learning from the morning
paper that the return match was of
so far as Mr.. Cohen was concerned,
made me an offer to box Sullivan. Up
to this time / wish to state that neither
Mr.. Scully, nor anyone in his behalf,
attempted to get me away from Mr.
Cohen, and if I could have seen my
way clear to box for him at figure
which would leave something for my
self after deducting expenses. I would
gladly have done so. But Mr. Cohen
being unable to meet my figure. and
having declared the return match off.
[ considered that I was open to any
other engagement that might offer it
self. These are the only reasons why
the contest is not being conducted
under Mr.. Cohen s management.
Thanking you for your space, I beg
to remain,
Yours very truly.

that I never possessed enough class to
be paid more than $25, intimating that
/ never did sign an agreement to box
for 800. 1t is foolish for me to deny
this barefaeed and audacious false
hood, as my friends, and the patrons
of the noble sport, well know that l
not only have figured more than once
in 800 engagements, but have also ap-
peared. under signed articles, for per-
centage of the gate receipts. l hardly
expect that Mr. Scully viii dare to
question the veracity Of this statement.
If he does, however, say in advance,
that it will only be his word as against
mine, and that of reputable men with
whom. during my career as a boxer, L
had the pleasure to get acquainted,
and whose veracity, social aptitude and
business integrity can never be COM
pared with my Mr.. Scully. AS regards
the bluff he states I attempted to make
and got cold feet, Ito use his own ex-
pressions) I must state that the main
reason why I did not conclude TO sue
him for the balance due me, as per
agreements. was that l was advised to
drop the matter, as it would perhaps,
implicate others, who did not wish to
appear as witnesses, either for or
against, in case of that nature; and
as they are all men that | respect,
for their sake / desisted, and decided
to depend upon Mr.. Scully's sense OF
Justice, and business integrity to some
day come forward. like an honest man,
and pay his just debts. I am still wait
ing.
Mr.. Scully SAYS that he put me on
my feet Wei, l guess ! know who IS
responsible for my present ability TO
keep my center of gravitation. 1t
certainly cannot be Mr.. Scully.
No, Mr. Seully, if you gave me EN-
ployment for a week or ten days, 1t
took me two more week s labor to col
lect that one week s pay, and you can
not deny it. Furthermore, you did 1T
to further your own ends and satisfy
your Unsuitable desire for gain.
And to conclude, Mr.. Sculiy, my
statements can be verified at any time,
as my hackers and trainers are still
living and their word is certainly as
good as yours.
Thanking you for the space, / am,

CHURCH FOLK ATTEND
ENGLISH RING BATTLE
A Very Cosmopolitan Crowd Attended
Scrap Between Welsh and Jo-
sephs Which Was Pulled
Off in England.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Welsh
Josephs recent battle in Wales has
caused more excitement among lovers
of boxing than anything that has hap
pened in years in that line of spor,.
Fresh from his American victories.
Welsh was looked upon as an easy vic
tory. Although Welsh never extended
himself he had Josephs staggering
and bleeding before the end of the
fourth round. When the boys came up
for the fifth Welsh started in to settle
matters then and there. After a min
ute of fighting Josephs went down for
the count of nine. and rising and fol-
lowing the audible instructions of his
seconds, deliberately fouled Welsh
the fourth committed in the fight G
T. Dunning, England's most famous
referee, Immediately awarded the fight
to Welsh on a foul. Welsh protested
against allowing the fight to end in
that way. but the referee paid no heed
to his protests.
Probably never before in the history
of ring battles in England has such a
fight been witnessed as that when
Welsh and Josephs entered the ring
Welsh is. as his name implies. a WEIGH
man. The biggest hall in Wales was
hired and turned into one o. the finest
fighting amphitheaters in the world
The hail has held 10000 people. and
in this instance it was packed to the
ceiling. Among the spectators were
Golfers and gentry, tradespeople and
church folk. with a sprinkling of arts
tocracy seldom seen outside OF the eX-
elusive National Sporting club of this
CITY There was fair sprinkling of
women. and in the press box sat q
woman writer known all over the
world 1t is said that few clersymen
were in the audience.
The receipts from the fight are stat
ed to be $4,000, probably the largest
sum taken in at a fight outside of Lon
don in this country Welsh is said to
have received $4,000 for his end and
Josephs $1100.
