SULLIVAN is STILL
HAWAII CHAMPION

| him to sleep In few rounds more. "
There was some talk of fake" aft
er the fight. but there is nothing In
such statements. The fight was on
the square sure. and II is a pity that
IL was not a clean-break affair. Half
of each three-minute round was taken
up with clinches, Patton having a
hard time to separate the men.
Peterson would rush Sullivan to
a., the ropes and cndeavor to pin him
there. After the second round most
of the work was done in Peterson's
corner, Sullivan coming over after
his man.
The evenings fun opened with
what was announced as four-round
fight between Hercules II and Young
Nelson. The latter. much taller
man than the noble Greek. treated
the go" as a huge Joke. so It was
for the marine. bat for the rolling
pin operator must have been about as
funny" as the frogs thought the
episode.
Nelson stood up to pitch and the
strong man batted-the air. The
Dane put beauty right over the
plate. Strike one!" said frankie
Smith. the referee. Now Herky.
old boy; Now!" yelled one OF the
Greeks seconds. And It was now
with vengeance. Nelson simply
lifted the poor dough-puncher IN
his feet with hard right. Talk
about the fall of ancient Greece!
Why, 1t wasn't within a city block OF
what our own local did In the falling
line. The man from Athens stayed
where he was, fairly comfortable, and
perfectly safe. for seven seconds.
Then visions of the glorious past of
his race few through his mind, and.
with n do-or-die expression on his
face the Greek rushed In. There
wasn't much do" about it--what
little doing there was was up to Mel
son. Sizing up his man, Nelson hi,
the representative OF Greece once
more. and then the towel went sky
wards. The cook never mad a look-ir
with Nelson, and probably a batch o.
hir own bread would have put up 4

yeast In II.
