SULLIVAN WILL
HOLD A 7RyOUT
Island Champion to Give All
Corners a Chance at Fort
Shafter.

Dick Sullivan has arranged to have
a big tryout day at Fort Shafter to-
morrow. This method is one usually
followed by him when he is training
for bout, and by it he manages to
get hold of good string of sparring
partners.
The truth of the matter is that Dick
is up against it for a bunch of good
ones to box with. There are several
willing lads who are glad to work
every day with him for the usual re-
muneration for that business, but they
are not strong enough and can not take
what Dick can hand them.
This being the case, Sullivan an
nounces that everybody of size and
strength who thinks he can box and
who would like to act as sparring part
ner in return for sundry simoleons, is
invited to come to the Fort Shafter
gymnasium tomorrow afternoon at 5
O'Clock and go through the mystic
process of being tried out.
In addition to gaining much kudos
as having acted as sparring partner to
the renowned middleweight champion
of the Hawaiian Islands, those for
tunate enough to be chosen will also
have a good chance to go on in pre-
liminary to the Cordell-Sullivan bout
on July 3.
These tryout events are always very
attractive to the fans, and there will
doubtless be a bunch of them out there
tomorrow to see the blithesome Dick
put the tyros through their PAGES. Very
often there are some very amusing in
cidents, especially when the boastful
would-be tells his friends that he is
going ''to show that swelled- headed
fellow a thing or two" Then he gen
orally swings wildly with the intention
of flooring the practised boxer and he
gets his and then some.
Each of the two principals in the
coming bout took day off yesterday
| and had well-earned rest. Cordell
| went out to Waikiki and took another
try at surfriding with much greater
success than last time. In fact, he had
a capable eicerone with him and, after
being shown once or twice how to catch
wave, the very first one he tried
broke just right and Jack went sizzling
| up to the beach amidst cloud of mud
colored spray. He was delighted with
his success and went back for more.
1.-THE greatest exercise and the jolliest
| in the world,D he said, and his beam
| ing smile showed that he meant it.
Today both men viii resume work
| Sullivan at Fort Shafter and Cordell at
the Orpheum. The latter starts his
work punctually at 8 O'Clock, and is
usually through by about O. clock

FIRST SEA WREN
IS TRIED OUT
Little Craft Delights Owners
by Sailing Well On and
Off the Wind.

The first of the sea wrens has been
launched and taken on a trial trip. The
owners, Messrs. Reilly and Bayer, are
very much pleased with her in every
way and state that she acts even bet.
ter than they expected.
The little craft was taken on wagon
on Saturday from H D. Bowen s pri-
vate shop, where it was built, and put
in the water. Yesterday morning the
owners bent the canvas on her and
took her for spin round the harbor
and out as far as the bell buoy.
The result was very satisfactory in
every way. They found that she was
quite stiff in the smart breeze outside
the harbor and that she came about
easily and quickly. On the wind she
holds a good huff and, with the center
board up, runs off the wind without
too much weather helm.
Mr., Bowen, who consented to super
wise the construction of the wrens. has
put very much larger amount of work
in the boats than people seem to realize.
This first wren is built like a watch.
Every piece of wood is perfectly fitted
and there is no rough work anywhere
The boat is copper riveted throughout
and every rivet is riveted, not allowed
to stay in loose if the head breaks off.
The lines of the real craft are even
more pleasing than they appeared on
paper. There is delightfully."- smooth
sweep around her bilge from bow to
after transom and the little wren
proves to be what she is designed for,
combination of a good holder on the
wind with clean lines striking the, wa

ner. still on easy lines, when the cen
terboard is hauled up and the boat sits
on a~levei keel.
The construction of the first wren
took much longer than will be the case
with the others. The forms are all
made for bending the timbers and the
stations set up so that the carpenter,
with his experience on the first boat
and everything all ready for setting up
the other keelsons and timbers, will be

half the time it took with the first one.
Many difficulties have been met with
and overcome. The planking sent from
the factory was not good by any means.
Tt had to be pieeed out considerably
with local timber. The timbers, while
well selected on the whole, were not
all good for bending. The station tenn
plates were none too accurate and there
was any amount of work to overcome
these setbacks properly. But now ev-
erything is fixed up right and it will
be only a short time before there are

A Painful ,Interlude.

The first few innings of the second
game were rather too painful to tell
about. The Alohas started out with
two runs in the first inning and they
seemed to be swatting Bolun all over
the place. The Fort Shafter pitcher
settled down some in the second inning,
but slipped another cog in the third
when the Alohas made two more.
The fourth period was very sad one
for the Fort Skaters. 1t was dreary
rompfest, with errors following bingles
and scores being made so fast that the
official scorer had to count over three
times to make sure that he was cor
rect.
But after that inning the Infantry
men changed pitchers and then things
looked brighter. Had the Alohas not
obtained such terrific lead they
might have been headed. AS it was,
they were kept down to no runs with
out a single safe hit for the rest of the
game.
In the sixth inning Fort Shafter
made two runs, their only two of the
game. Strauss doubled and Bateman
was safe at first while Strauss died "a
third. Then Rowe doubled Bateman
home, but Wilson famed; Gongol
walked and Jaeger was safe on Harris
error, while Rowe reached third. Then
Bolun was safe on another muff by
Harris, and Rowe romped. Then Ram
sey skied and the scoring was over for
| the day.
There were many changes made in
| the Fort Shafter lineup during the
game and. as the official scorer was not
notified of each change it is impossi-
BILE to give an official score. The line
ups were:
