ALL READY To co
On At ORPREUM
Coils Appearance Is Likely
to Prove a Surprise to
the Fans.

The eight men who are to take part
In Joe Cohen S great inter-Service fistie
tournament at the Orpheum on Satur-
day night. are all training hard for the
event. Each one of them expects to
take the long end of the purse for
which he is appearing and there is no
doubt that the affair will be about as
clean and classy an evening IS enter
tainment as one could find anywhere.
One reason that Jack Coll has not
been heard of very much is that his
name has been persistently mispelled
by the papers. It was only recently
that this great ball-tosser and athlete
mentioned the fact to the official
scorer of the Riverside League. Since
that time it may be noticed that his
name has appeared on the scores as
Coll instead of sFCall. -
Under his mispeled name Coll was to
have appeared at the Orpheum at one
time, but the bout was off on account
of the other man being unable to APP
pear. Recently some of the officers at
Camp Very spoke to Cohen about this
man and asked why he was not given
q chance. Mr.. Cohen replied that the
reason was that he had no idea that
there was so much class being hidden
under a bushel and he Immediately
proceeded to knock the bushel off the
light by putting Jack on with Me
Gollough
While it would be invidious to predict
that Coll will do anything very start
ling with Mccullough, it may be prophe-
sled without chance of being wrong,
that the sturdy favorite from Fort
Shafter is going to have something
pretty hard to go against.
Coll is always in excellent condition
as he is one of the most enthusiastic
of the Marine baseball team and prac-
tises continuously. In addition to this
he is fond of boxing as a pastime and
may often be seen sparring with one
of his comrades in the gymnasium at
the camp.
Mccullough, the man who has al
ways been an anomaly in that he would
hardly work at all before a bout and |
then go on and eat enough punishment |
to sink ship, is taking the coming |
bout very seriously. He viii be in the |
pink of condition on Saturday night |
and. if Coll never met hard one be- |
fore in his life, he is certainly up
against that same thing this time.
Mccullough is, perhaps, the favorite
among local preliminary men. Now
he has chance in main event over
a longer distance than he has ever
tried here and the result will be watch
ed with great interest by the fans
During the last year Mccullough has |
in public several times and
has improved from a sturdy, but awk-
ward scrapper to boxer with a really
good left and mighty wallop in his
right. At that, it is hardly likely that
he will outlook Coll but, If he ever
lands one of those things, friend Coll
may see the stars shining and hear the
distant note of the mockingbird, or is
It the hummingbird?
Jackson, fresh from his race in Hilo.
IS very fit for his go with Sareoni and
he announces in no measured terms
that he is going to slip it to the Rngler.
But jackson was equally confident last
time and was unable to hand anything
70 the shifty little Italian from Camp
' cry. Whatever the result of this
eopt 1t will certainly be a hummerino
as there are no two eleverer lads of
tnelr weight in the Territory.
