HELP OUT THE BOY.

When I was boy my education was
confined to three months at the little
old red schoolhouse, where a new
teacher-usually some raw-boned, lad
die-buck, who ought to have been in
school himself-tried to teach us
reading, writin' and 'rithmetic,"
writes John r. Giller in Home and
Farm. My education on the farm was
dull, hard work, doing things just as
my grandfather had done them. My
pleasure was trapping rabbits and
mink in winter and fishing about
twice in summer when / could steal
away. On Sundays I sat on the door

SIXTH TANSAN
MATCH TODAY

If only the weather is as fine today
as it was yesterday, the golfers will
have grand time of it playing off
the sixth of the Tansan matches Aus
tin White and w. Simpson each have
two holds on the cup. and should
either one win today, he will be the
owner of it.
Special arrangements have been
made for this big event There will
be two busses in the morning running
from the end of the Nuuanu avenue
car-line, and the first one will leave
at haf-past eight, to accommodate
those who want to get out and have a
little loosening-up practise on the
links before the serious work begins.
This is an excellent opportunity for
people who have never even taken the
trouble to go out and see what a beau
tiful place the Country Club is, to take
the women folk out and see some very
interesting golf, as well as to appre-
ciate the clubhouse and the grand view
from the lanai.
Tea is served in the afternoon, as
well as lunch at midday, and, with a
keen tournament going on, this is the
daV Tor members 1rIenuS TO take 4
ride out there either en- automobile or
via street car and auto bus.
The links are in grand condition
since the recent rains. and long driv-
ing and sure putting will be the order
of the day. There seems to be a gen
eral feeling that some dark horse will
come in first in this event. There are
many fairly average players who have
large handicaps and who may take a
/ bunch and whack up big Chat is,

Austin White is scratch and. on
form and recent playing, may be relied
on to stay around the forty mark.

and should have an excellent chance
if he play mp well. White was playing

ham, it was announced that they would
box straight rules and that Mike Pat
ton would referee. There was no time
lost and the two middleweights shook
hands and assumed their working poses.
Dick stood up straight with his left
well in front, while Peterson took on
a "Jeffries - crouch, greatly applauded
by the short-enders.
Peterson did all the work in the first
round which was easily in his favor.
In the second round Sullivan landed
two lefts just to show that he could do
it while Peterson led hard with rush
and then clinched. Already the clinches
were getting frequent and wearisome
to the average spectator and Mike had
to butt in like a bull to break them.
Peterson rushed Sullivan to the ropes
twice in a clinch and hammered with
his right on the kidneys.
In the third round there was more
clinching and Mike worked harder than
either of them. This round was even.
In the four j Peterson did his hardest
work and had the better of it. Sullivan
kept jabbing his face until the claret
tap was turned on, but George landed
some hard leads with both hands.
In the fifth Sullivan began to wake
up and stood his man off without so
many clinches. Peterson rushed to a
clinch and swung with his right, land

their feet and yowled "Foul" but Mike
took no notice. Shortly after there was
