SMITH
BOUT TONIGHT
The Finest Lightweight Contest
Ever Seen in Honolulu
Expected.

tunately there Is another man all ready
to take his place, and Young Scotty,
who has been fitting himself on the off
chance Of 60, will step into his place
and try conclusions with Eddie Hines
for four rounds.
Everything else is in readiness for
the big doings at the Orpheum tonight.
Both frankie Smith and Charlie Reilly
are down to weight and in good con-
dition, and all the fans can do is wait
until these two and Paddy Ryan step
into the ring to decide which is the
better boxer
An immense amount of interest is
being taken In this 90. 1t is certain
to be an even match, ana opinions vary
among local followers of the game as
to which will prove to be the winner.
Reilly, of course, has large following.
| Many of the fans were SO taken by his
cleverness and ring generalship dis
played during his last visit that they
see no chance for him to lose and are
| expressing their opinions in the proper
way by handing over some of the vel
low stuff, you see once week, to
! stakeholder
Smith Has Many Friends.
! Smith, on the other hand has made
a bunch of friends by his Bat Nelson
methods. Many of his admirers have
been out to the camp to watch him
work, and they put out line of talk
to the effect that he has championship
form in both aggression and cleverness
1t is perfectly true that frankie is
aggressive. If there is one man of
his class who can loosen Charlie up
and make him take chances, it is this
same Smith. This is, perhaps, the most
attractive feature of the bout. We are
almost certainly going to see Charlie
| in new role, that of vigorous ag-
gressor. In meeting man like Smith
he will be forced to use these tactics
to great extent in order to win out.
Eating Punishment.
There is no doubt that frankie has
the champion pie-eater walked round
the block when it comes to taking pun
ishment. If Charlie uses his cleverness
and left iabs, but stands off and waits
for an opening, he is liable to- find his
opponent wearing him down by his
boring in Reilly will have to let his
right go more often than he has done
in recent contests here, and we may ex
pect to see combination of science
and force that is hard to beat.
That both lads are confident goes
without saying. This is part and par
eel of an experienced boxers outfit
He always enters the ring with an alb
solute certainty that he is going to wiz
and this precludes all possibility OF
stage fright such as tyros get, often tt
their undoing.
Weights Are All Right.
The weight matter will be settled a.
! FIVE clock, but that there win be M
tipping of the scales is a foregone con
clusion. Both lads are well down ant
fit and ready for a hard fifteen rounds
| By the time they enter the ring they
will both be about at the lightweigh1
limit of 1873 pounds, so that this is
. legitimate lightweight contest in every
way.
1t is understood that the Coast man
| ayers have their eyes on this bout will
some interest. Both lads have shown
their superiority to the average of the
lightweight corners on the Coast, ant
the winner of this event may get some
thing more than the frosty eyebrow
when he steps off the steamer in Sar
g Francisco. Both men appreciate this
fact and it will do nothing to make the
affair less interesting.
| Miller's Second Chance.
The second go between Joe Silva
Z and Soldier Miller is causing nearly a!
much talk as the main event. This il
Miller's great chance to make good. II
his last appearance here he gave {
great exhibition of stage fright anG
S was easily defeated by Dick Sullivan
{ Like Daedalus or some other ancient
, mythologist, he few too high and go+
3 his wings singed. This time he has {
h bran new set of fappers and expects tt
c make grand aerial fight at the ex
: pense of one Joseph, sirnamed ths
:. Demon.
i Joe Silva has a bunch of Punchbow
r sports with their jewelry in a SAFE
2 place till he wins That he could los'
: never crossed his mind, and he will
e open up box of swats, not to mention
: those severely critical chances of his
that viii give the ringsiders somethin.
TO shout about.
Tvros Are Ambitious.
The go between Scotty and Hine
should be a good exhibition of wha
two tyros with natural advantages an,
r some experience can do to each other
:. They both have good reach, ant
A neither one could be named a dub b,
4. old man Pessimism himself They ar
only starting on the bottom rungs o
y the ladder, and neither can afford t
d make a poor showing. They vii

seats early.
IS As usual the sale of seats took
e sudden jump at the last minute. TIL
regulars were round in the afternoo
<, grouehing because the front seats wer

advance sale has been unusually large

90 down to the baldhead row.
