lnefC were only ABOUT three nun
drcd people ut the Orpheum show on
Saturday night and those regular
fight-goers who remained away miss
ed the best two scraps that have been
put up in Honolulu for long time.
The boxing was rather late in
starting. It being almost . o'clock
when Kid" Terry and Bird stepped
into the ring. Billy Warham, as
usual, was the announcer, and in
troduced artists and referee to the
audience. frankie Smith acted as
referee in both scraps and Peterson
looked after the gong. When Smith
stepped onto the stage he was cheer
ed. Enquiries as to Reilly's where
abouts were frequent, and one stento.
rian voice from the spectators re-
marked: Charlie slowed away to
avoid Smith" This raised the ire of
some of Rellly's many friends and
the retort courteous was much in cy-
idenCe.
The first fight was willing from the
start, the two men rushing in and
mixing it right away. Terry has i'm
proved lot and made good use Of his
lett all the time. Bird has pecu-
liar way of shaping up TO his man:
he holds his left away out from his
body and somewhat elevated. His
Iavorite punch is kind Of downward
blow. and he got several Of them In
ON the Kid" Terry. however, came
back every time and, acting under
Expert Mcfaddon's instructions. used
an uppercut very effectively now and
again.
There were SOME fierce rallies dur
ing the go and the audience came to
its feet with excitement several times.
Smiths decision Of drew was very
popular and the only one possible.
This friendly little mixup cleared
the way for another f0"r-round con-
test. between lronman Mccullough
and Young Sharkcy. Smith again
acted ms referee. Mccullough Is i'm
proving rapidly at the fight game and
blocked many punch of Sharkey's
in first-class style.
Mae. rs usual. wore his cheerful
grin and bored in all the time, tax.
ing his cruel well and then doing
the Oliver Twist stunt. Sharkey Is
cleyerer at the boxing game than the
soldier and landed repeatedly with
his left. Still, the Fort Shafter lad
had his man pretty nearly pumped
out and hanging on lot before the
end Of the fourth round. Smiths de.
cisiOn OF a draw was correct.
The wrestling match between Rob.
erts and Jornall seemed to the writer
to be. not quite the real thing. Per.

Roberts Is much larger and heavier
man than his opponent and seemed
to do pretty well as he liked with
Jornell, The Russian was very coo

At the start Jornell tried for Il LEI

on Jornell and then getting a foot

in six minutes.
In the second and last spasm, Jor
