money was still under cover waiting
for the odds to lengthen, but it will
show Itself today, and the Sullivan
supporters, who have been complaining
that they can not get taken, will have
no more kick to make.
Both Sullivan and Peterson took
things very easily yesterday. Sullivan
took car ride in the afternoon to the
end of the Waialae line and short
walk from there, and Peterson did
some very light work at the Orpheum,
just enough to keep him limbered up.
This morning they will both do with
out the festive alarm clock, and will
probably rest as much as possible all
day.

SPORT GALORE
At LEILEHUA
Polo, Baseball and Other Games
Well Played at Cavalry
Camp.

1t will not be long before the Leile-
hua camp is heard from in the athletic
line. The Fifth Cavalry is a crack
regiment in more than one way, and
they have a bunch of athletic possibility
taking the air upon the plateau that
will not only surprise Honolulu but be
a grand addition to local sporting
circles.
Up till now, and for several weeks
to come, mounted Toys will be kept
busy working round the camp and do
ing various military stunts that a mere
cit. does not comprehend After that
they will have time to think about ath-
letlcs and sports generally, and then
they will be heard from.
The first sport that one thinks of in
connection with a cavalry regiment Is
polo. Above the camp, between the of
fcers' quarters and the mountains,
there is an ideal place for polo practise
The ground slopes slightly, but may be
eallee! fat, and the turf is old and
solid. With some work in digging out
mounds, filling in holes and grass cut
ting, there win be really excellent
field there.
The officers state, modestly enough,
that there are no crack players in the
regiment, but they all know something
about swinging a stick. 1t is true that
they had little chance for much polo
playing in Arizona, but many of them
are very fond of the game and the local
team will have to do some tall practise
to hold the military players down.
Few Ponies Now.
There are few polo ponies at the
camp at present, but the government
allows certain number for each
squadron and about forty are expected
to arrive shortly. Just what they will
be is hard to say. They will doubtless
| be ponies, but whether Of the polo va
riety or not time and experience vii
show.
1t is hard to find more practised o.
more careful horseman than a United
| States cavalry officer, and the draft O.
ponies will soon be segregated int
| possibles, probables, inclinations AM
impossibles. Then practise will begin
| and the ponies with heads on them vii
| soon be trained to the various stunt
that good one must learn before he i
of real use to player.
Baseball Cracks.
In baseball the new arrivals will no
| have to douse their lids to anybody
They do not talk much about thei
team, but one can gather that the
have pretty fine aggregation of bal
tossers by the fact that Lieutenan
Groninger, who looks after the baseball
was captain of the West Point teal
and is said to be the greatest amateu
third baseman that ever stopped he
liner.
When the football season come
round, the boys of the Fifth will ais
be there. They have penchant for il
tercollegiate, but have no objection
, to other forms of the game. Capital

intercollegiate team, was center on th

Both Under Weight.

AS to the weight, it is impossible to
say who is the heavier, although Sulli-
van appears to be so. They are both
under the limit of 15S, but just how
much nobody except the men them
selves can say, and they, naturally, are
not doing any talking on the subject.
Besides the main incentive to win,
that of gaining another rung on the lad
der toward championship and big
purses, the lads have no mean pecuniary
inducement. Joe Cohen has hung up a
large purse for the event, and there
will be considerable difference between
the winners and losers end.
Then, again, both men have wagered
little lump on themselves. This IS
always a good sign. 1t shows that each
is entirely confident of winning, aud
that is the only way to have a good
bout. Just how far each man has gone
in this direction is unknown, but it Is
doubtful if the loser viii have more
than meal-ticket money left after pay
ing expenses and wagers out of his end
of the purse.
Lull in the Betting.
Things were not very brisk in the
betting line along the Rialto yesterday
afternoon. It was the usual hull before
the day of the contest. Peterson

Monthly Field Days.

Monthly Field Days.
General athletics are encouraged IN
cavalry camp by monthly field meets,
in which all kinds of athletic contests
are pulled off. Besides the ordinary
field events, they have regular agricul-
tural hall doings, including broadsword,
tent-pegging, bareback riding, lemon
cutting, and several gymkana events
as. we'll.
The first monthly field day will not
take place for some time, as the boys
have to get settled and get their parade
ground into working order. Then, when
they have more time to spare, practise
will start and the people of Honolulu
who are wise enough to go to the camp
for the first field day will see something
very much worth while.

Mccullough Reappears.

The first preliminary, between Nc
Collough of Fort Shafter and Young
Scotty, is attracting more attention
than fcur-round curtain-raisers usually
do. Quite little Fort Shafter money
has been walking round Hotel street
looking for takers, and some Of the
local sports, who have watched Scotty
work, are SO much impressed with his
Improvement that they have taken up
all that came along.
Mccullough is said to be great i'm
provement over his last showing. He
has always depended on his rugged
strength and hitting powers more than
on cleverness, but he has been study
ing boxing very carefully and may sur
prise many of the fans tonight.
Scotty has most certainly improved.
Up till now he has generally acted as
stop-gap when some meal-ticket
boxer took cold in his feet and would
not go on. For this reason he was
never properly fit when he appeared,
but this time he is there with the best
condition possible, and will put up a
| much more efficient exhibition than he
has heretofore.
Second Go Puzzle.
The second preliminary of eight
rounds is puzzle, but it is going to be
worth the price of admission just TO
see the two go at it. Hercules H., while
not so tall as his original namesake, is
we'll named, for he IS muscled like a
true Greek eountryman. 1t is said that
in the hill country of Greece the most
magnificent specimens of manhood are
to be found, and Hercules, from a mus

Logan High School Contest.

Second annual contest between
the Phil0matheon and Clionian
Literary Societies will be given at
the Opera House, Friday evening,
April 10th. The literary work in
the High School has received a
great impetus through the spirit
of contest between these two so
cietles. They have given their
programs in the Assembly Hall
regularly on alternate Friday after
noons, and have manifested both
enthusiasm and real ability. The
Principal has announced weekly
the total and average grades
merited by each Society and has
maintained spirit OF rivalry
throughout the year.
1t will be remembered that the
Clionians were the winners in the
contest last year; but the Philo-
matheons have worked hard
throughout the year and have
been able to maintain the higher
average on their weekly programs.
Therefore they have challenged
the Clionians, and are very hope
-ful of such n victory as will be
solacs for their former defeat.
The judges will be- Supt. F. C.
Kirkendall, of ChiIlicothe, Supt.
b. O, Skinner, OF Athens and Supt.

OIL AND
GAS TALK

The happy spirit of good cheer
is upon the mountain tops in the
oil circles in Logan this week.
The Geneva company struck so
barrel we'll on the Polling farm,
and over 1000 feet of oil stands IN
the hole now, while the Carter
company struck 20 barrel we'll
on the Howdyshell farm near
Webb Summit. These are in
new territory and interestingly
close to the holdings of the local
companies in and about Logan. AT
the Headquarters of the Hooking
Oil and Gas company, last night,
the excitement resembled the re-
ceiving OF the news from presi
Dental election. The telephones
were working overtime and each
time the voice on the other erd Of
the line told the news better than
the last. They already had some
samples of the oil from these new
wells and they burued it on the
floor and danced around it like
Indians. They Were Il happy set
Of fellows and no wonder. They
have put their money into the
testing of territory and when it
comes to pass that their Judgment
is not bad and that they have
every reason to believe that they
will realize on their investment,
they are quite jubiant. Their
holdings surround the wells that
are coming in good.
At the Schumacher Oil and Gas
Exchange in the Warner building,
where the Overland Stock is the
mosS forwardly promoted, there
was also rejoicing, as the big
Lewis Ruff deal set the corks to
bobbing. Mr.. l.. j. Ruff, of the
firm of j. NJ. Morrison ~ Co., con-
sumated the roundup that puts
the Overland IN the front ranks.
This spirited promoter got hold of
3,28S acres of choice leases in
Perry county, close up to Bremen
territory and the Overland has Sc
cured the valuable holdings, and
the stock of this company will take
u sky-rocket tendency. Mr.. Ruff
and Mr.. O'Gara went To Pittsburg
to close the matter up with The
Ohio Fuel company. This il said
to be one of the most gigantic
deals in tine oil and gas history IN
these parts.
