SPOR I s
CARD
AT ORPHEUM

The fans along the Rialto are taking
considerable interest in the coming box
ing carnival at the Orpheum tomorrow
night. Joe Cohen is going to dish up
thirty rounds of boxing with twelve
contestants instead of the usual big
main event of fifteen rounds and the
two preliminaries.
The longest event of the evening will
be the eight-round go between Joe
Silva, the Punchbowl Demon, and
George Nelson, the big and pieeating
Dane from Camp Very. This go will
certainly bring out large consign-
ment of fun, directed and labeled to
show
Neither man has any science to boast
of, but they are both great at the ham
mer and tongs end of the business and
will be there with the big tangle when
the gong sounds.
The last appearance of Joe Silva
was an epoeh-maker. He easily bested
lected to do any work for nearly three
rounds. Miller inadvertently tapped
him on the nose and this made Joe
mad Tomorrow night Joe will be
tapped severely right from the very
start, and then we may be sure that
he will get busy. What the result will
be when Joe Silva gets made and
George Nelson does the same, it is i'm
possible to say, but it will certainly
be worth watching.
The appearance of Tommy MarloWe,
the crack boxer from the camp at~Lei-
lekua. will be great event. He IS
scheduled to box Wahilani six rounds
at 49, pounds, but there seems to be
little likelihood that the bout will last
the limit.
Wahilani is well known locally as
very fas. and hard-hitting lightweight
and has won a long list OF victories
to his credit. Sergeant Marlowe OF
Troop C, by the way, has great name
in the camp for being pie-eater. Not
only a punishment-consu but also
hard hitter A civilian who has bus
mess interests at the camp, and who is
great on athletics, states that he was
working with ,Marlowe and that the
latter permitted him to stand off and
hammer him on the jaw as hard as he
could. bare-fsted Now this same civil
ian is no chicken; he weighs about
hundred and eighty and stands over SIX
feet
If Tommy cans take that brand OF
gaff and smile. it may be bad for the
yXr. L.. H. bo a Ia
contingent of the Cavalry boys in to
watch their champion go at it, and they
all feel very confident that Tommy will
go back to Leilehua with the lei of
victory decorating his martial brow.
The other four events are all of
four-round duration. Nigel Jackson.
the Marathon champion, will try con-
illusions with Bugler Sarconi of Camp
Very The latter has great reputa-
ton and may make it strenuous for the
long distance champion.
I4imev'' Richards, thus affection
atelv known on account of his British
birth. is another marine who will make
his first appearance here. He is match
ed with Soldier Plat of Fort Shafter.
This will be middleweight go and
SHOuIu De gooO one, as DotH men al 2
clever boxers and splendidly built.
Richards is remarkably well devel-
oped man and boxes cleverly in the
English style.
Humphriss, yet another marine, will
box with Young Stanley in the light
weight division, and Soldier Henley of
Fort Shafter will see what he can do
with one Correa. The show is by way
of a tryout to let the boys show what
they can do, and, like all shows of
the kind, has the recommendation of
unknown possibilities in every event.
