GEE WHIZ!
WHAT'S THIS ?

Battling Robinson, formerly the
middleweight champion of fine navy
at Vallejo, is matched to box Dick
Sullivan in Honolulu this afternoon,
the contest being a twenty.round af
fair for the championship of Hawaii
and a side bet of $500. The Pacific
fleet, which is now in the islands,
will make a special holiday of the af-
fair, and it is probable that the box
ers will appear before one of the
largest crowds which has ever at
tended a pri2e-ring battle in Honolu-
Ill., One of the features of the match
is the Extraordinary interest taken in
it by a prince with an unpronounca-
BILE name, who is scheduled to attend
the bout, accompanied by suite Of
courtiers stretching from Government
street to the Royal Moana Hotels.

MELVILLE LONG
ON DAVIS TROPHY
HE WILL MAX MOST OF FIGHTING CHANCE
GEE AND RoTHs SPLENDID SHOWING AGAINST THE CHAM
pIoNs-EYEs OF ATHLETIC ON CALIFORNIA Ex


Mclaughlin and Long, the Califor-
MIA tennis champions who passed
through here on the S. S. Aorangi on
Saturday en- route to Australia, to
represent the United States in the
contest for the Davis trophy, were
to have been accompanied on their
trip by Beals Wright, another cele-
brated player. who would have acted
as a manager and mentor to the old
er players, in addition to playing on
the team. At the last moment how
ever. It was decided to allow Nc
Loughlin and Long to make the trip
alone and they will represent Amer
lea in every match which is to be
played against the Australians, Brooks
and Wilding.
1t is safe to say that the attention
of the whole athletic world is how
ering about the movements of Mel
Vile Long and Maurice Mclaughlin
n1ayers res ~
Previous to the trip of Long and
Mclaughlin with their fellow play
ers, Bundy, James and Sinsabough, to
the East, California was but little es-
teemed in the tennis line by the ex-
perts of that section Miss May SUIT
ton and Miss Hazel HotchlIiss were,
o. course, exceptions to this rule, but
the men of the West were hardly
conceded an outside chance to win
victories in the East. A reversal OF
opinion has lately taken place and
Long and Mclaughlin are now look
ed upon by close students of the
sport as most promising candidates
for worlds championships in few
years, with the prospects of McLough-
lin especially bright if he keeps up
his present pace of improvement.
The Englishmen, Parke, Crawkey
and Dixon who took part in the pre-
liminary Davis cup battles at Mani
helm. are said to have very high
regard for the playing of the Califor-
mia youngsters and to see in them
championship caliber.
e. S. Gee and W. Roth, the local
players who hooked up with Messrs.
Mclaughlin and Long at the Bere-
tania courts on Saturday have every
reason to be satisfied with the show
ing they made against the Californian
champions and of them Honolulu
may well be proud.
The match was to have been the
best three sets out of i've. but owing
to the protracted nature of the third
set the match had to be abandoned
in an unfinished condition as the
light was too Dad for anything like

VISITORS WIN
At THE NETS

Despite the late arrival of the S. s.
Aorangi on Saturday the tennis match
between Messrs. Long and Mclaughlin,
the Californian champions, and Messrs,
Roth and Gee, the local doubles cham
pions, was played on the Beretania
courts, in the presence of large crowd
who wanted to see what real cham
pions looked like when in action.
The match was a fast one and al
though the Gee-Roth combination
were defeated they were not disgraced.
Mclaughlin and Long took the first
two sets, rs, ga and the local players
secured the third and final set 1913.
The visitors were handicapped by
their eight days aboard the steamer
but Notwithstanding this they played
mastery tennis.
After the match the contestants were
entertained at dinner at the University
Club by Judge Ballou
The winners resumed their voyage to

JOHNSON LIKELY TO
STAY CHAMPION

The Johnson-Ketchel fight took place
at Colma, under the management Of
James Coffroth. 1t was scheduled to
be of twenty rounds duration.
Ketchel cleaned up everything in the
middleweight class and then developed
into a light heavyweight 1t is bellev-
ed that he weighed about 176 pounds
when he stepped into the ring to meet
Johnson.
The last betting on the fight was 9
to that Ketchel would be knocked
out and even money that he would not
stay fifteen rounds with his dusky OPP
ponent.
While Ketchel was generally regard
ed as being foeman worthy of the
black champions steel the fact that
he is to some extent an in-and-out
fighter who has fought some indiffer-
ent battles along with many good ones,
doubtless caused the preponderance of
odds in Johnson's favor.
Jack Johnson, who recently put It all
over Al kaufman, is perhaps the most
unpopular champion who has ever held
the heavyweight title. At that the
idea has been growing for some time
past that he is one of the most dan
gerous men who ever won the cham
pionship and that he is likely to hold
it for a considerable time to come. He
was expected to fight at about 1893
pounds saturday weight which would
give him some twenty odd pounds adj
vantage over Ketchel
The training of both men had been
of most strenuous nature and the de-
mand for sparring partners in both
camps has exceeded the supply this
owing to the rough way in which they
have been handled by the big boxers.
A decisive victory for Ketchel would
have meant the writing of 'finis" to
Jashsons pugilistic ambition. The star
of Johnsons victory Saturdays en-
counter left the giant black practically
/ opponentless, unless Jeffries consents
/ to fight him, which is universally re-
garded as doubtful, and promoters, the
world over, would be set to seeking
for strong, tough men who show in
dications of being capable of develop
ment into boxers worthy of entering
the lists with the colored champion.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-10-18

accurate playing. An idea of the ex-
cellent showing made by the local
men may be obtained from the fact
that out of the eighty games played
the California won torty-one and the
Honlulus thirty-nine.
But to get back to Mclaughlin and
Long. 1t was learned from them just
before the S. S. Aorangi sailed for
the Colonies on Saturday night, that
they will be quartered in Sydney pre-
vious to the matches, which will be
played in the latter part of next
month the definite date having not
yet been decided upon.
Their preliminary practise will be
held on the courts about Sydney, CIV
ing them some three weeks for tun-
ing UP previous to the worlds cham
pionship battles in which they will
meet Anthony Wilding and Norman
Brooks.
Long and Mclaughlin are accus-
toned to turf courts as a result OF
their Eastern trip and their practice
at Australia will simply perfect their
team play in doubles and give them
time to become accustomed to the
climate. The fact that Long and Nc
Loughlin are conceded but a fighting
chance in their battle to come will
probably be of aid to them, as with
the realization that they have not to
lose and everything to gain, they can
enter their matches keyed to the
highest tension and fit for the great
battle which would be necessary in
meeting such players as Brooks and
Wilding. Five matches will be play
ed in the international series, four
in singles and one in doubles. If the
singles should be split with Long
and Mclaughlin falling to Brooks and
defeating Wilding, the final match
would be doubles, where it seems as
though the Australians should come
through Even at that the youngsters
are liable to spring surprise on the
tennis world by bringing home the
cup through play of the most bril-
liant order, but their chance can on
be conceded to be an outside one.
In discussing the coming play Long
gave the views of Mclaughlin and
himself when he said, while we
have been told that we have only a
fighting chance, you can believe me
that we will be fighting for every
point from start to finish of the
match We realize that we have lit
tie to lose, but We are not going to
lose that little if it can be helped"

words Of Constable Dan Turnbull, form
