JOHNNY MURPHY
ON THE ALAMEDA

Johnny Murphy, the famous Cali
fornia lightweight, is a passenger on
the Alameda and will arrive in Homo
lulu on the good old ferryboat next
Friday. He is coming here for his
health, which has been none too good
lately, his doctor ordering a seavoyage.
Murphy is one of the most cour-
ageous and battling lightweights that
ever entered a ring. He has been one
of the greatest favorites in the pugil-
istic line on the Coast for many years.
He is not particularly clever boxer
but has a way with him something like
Battling Nelson's, only with less of
a crouch.
Whenever Johnny entered the ring
the fans were sure of a good, clean
scrap. That is how he won his way
into the hearts of the California en-
thusiasts. He never lets up on his man
but keeps after him and takes enough
punishment to kill six ordinary men.
Local sportsmen will be glad to meet
the famous little man and to give him
the best aloha possible. Being in poor
health, Murphy will appreciate thought
full attentions that may be paid to
him and it would be by no means a
bad idea to have some kind of re-
ception committee of local sportsmen
to meet him at the boat Coming to
a strange place it would cheer him and
would be at least a graceful action.

Sport Notes

A special cable to the Hawaii Shinpt
states that Wisconsin University
whitewashed Keio University on Sun
day by score of eight to nothing.
Jim Ford, a crack lightweight from
San Francisco, may be on the Alameda.
If so a contest with Reilly will prob
ably be the next pugilistic attraction.

SHERMAN GOT HIS
FROM THE UMPIRE

The following rich story, clipped
from an eastern sporting paper is re-
printed by the courtesy of Umpire Nc
Henry of the Oahu Baseball League.
It is good and old man Sherman sure
got his. Owens, by the way. is an old
side-kicker of McHenry:
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, September Is.
Vice President James, 5. Sherman,
becoming excited over what he beiev-
ed bad decision at first base in the
ball game between Kansas CITY and
Minneapolis September 10, called UNI
pire Clarence Owens to his box in the
midst of the game and protested. 1t
was the first thing the Vice President
had done to show his interest in the
game.
"Mr. OWENS said the Vice Presi-
dent in dignifed manner, 81 believe
your decision on that man was ineor-
rect. He was safe, and had he been
called safe it might have won the game
for the home club. Your umpiring seems
to have been good outside of that,
but l believe that decision was wrong. -
''Well, Mr.. Sherman, possibly | did
make a mistake. Even an umpire
makes mistakes occasionally retort-
ed Owens, with a smile. 81 do not
suppose there are any errors in iudg-
ment in Washington. but here we are
liable to make all kinds of errors. You
/ know baseball is a different vocation
from making the laws of the land -
Sherman was very much surprised
at the answer, and after joining Owens
in hearty laugh, forgot about the de
eision, and play continued. The game
ended 3 to in favor of the visiting
! club, which did not suit Sherman in the
least. He had hardly forgotten about
the decision when he left the park.
"Well,' he said, as he walked out
of the park, 81 believe the home club
would have won this game if that deci
sion had not been made. 1t was a
mighty good game, and l was glad tc
get a chance to see it, but l hate tC
see the home club lose. -

! club lose, are you not?'' said D. j

"You know | live in Washington
With hearty laugh the men entered
an automobile and went to the hotel

FOOTBALL NOTES.

The Punahous evidently have some
thing up their sleeves. judging from
their unwillingness to talk. They are
living low and waiting for the open
ing of the championship series before
letting their strength become public.

Hitchcock and Akina should prove
a tower Of strength this season at their
old positions of tackle. They are both
big men and veterans at the game and
should be the gridiron stars of the
season.
Mackenzie. the Kams' former crack
sprinter, is faster this year than ever
and is showing great form for so early
in the season. He is a great acquisi-
ton to the Punahou team.

Bill Desha is all 10 the good thi.
wear just as he always is. He IS prob
ably the greatest quarterback ever
seen in Honolulu.
Gibson. a student last year at the
College Of Hawaii, has returned to
Punahou. He is exceedingly fast and
is smashing fullback.

Two new arrivals, HUMPHREYS and
Grace. have appeared on the Punahou
field. They are very likely candidates
HUMPHREYS is a big fellow and, al

The international race is still in the
air. There is plenty of talk going on
but that is about all. However, some
things have developed that are of the
greatest interest to the public.
Tsukamoto and his managers are
holding out for another marathon race.
The fundamental cause for this is that
the japanese runner. wants to square
himself.
In their talk they are putting up
plea that the local japanese colony is
desirious of having their champion ap
pear again under better pedal condi-
lions and that they believe he can
win another marathon race.
Then they add much talk about what
they will do to the Athletic Park if
there is not another marathon. They
shipper of boycott and other absurd
ties. 1t is true that the japanese stand
together very well in all such eases,
but the japanese are typically sports
men and while boycott notice, such as
these same men posted outside the
Athletic Park after the ten-mile race,
might have some effect for one week,
the Japanese are too enthusiastic about
sports to be kept away for long, espe-
cially when they find that they have
been fooled by the people who started
the boycott.
Interviews Contradict.
But a few interviews with the local
japanese newspapermen yesterday af-
ternoon showed that what Tsukamoto s
managers claim is not correct by any
means.
Here is what Mr.. Sheba, of the Ha-
waii Shinpo, said in part and his senti-
ments were echoed by the editors of
the other papers:
"The local japanese have entirely
lost faith in Tsukamoto as a marathon
runner. They say THE money, that
we spent to go and see Tsukamoto quit
when only half the distance was run,
was nearly enough to bring the Keio
team here again. I do not think that
the Japanese would patronize another
marathon race. If, on the other hand,
it were to be ten or fifteen miles, l
believe that larger crowd than ever
would go to see the race, as they be-
lieve that Tsukamoto is a champion
| over the short distance but has not the
stamina to last for twenty-six miles.
"With regard to any talk about boy
cotting the park, I do not think that
the managers of Tsukamoto could do
very much. The local japanese have
always been well satisfied with events
that the management of the park has
| brought off and they understand the
situation thoroughly
Managers Should Get Wise.
From the above and other interviews
| it is very clear that the Japanese take
| little interest in Tsukamoto any more
| except to see him run in a ten-mile
| race If the managers of the little
| runner of Nippon are wise, they will
promptly agree and then something
| may be done.
Antoine Kaoo came around yesterday
| to find out what was doing. He has
very decided views on the subject. He
says ''Let Jackson, Charlie, Cordeiro
and myself run a ten-mile race and let
the Jap out if he does not want to

The Call of Afric>

Mr. John Burroughs has generally
been regarded as a man of a mild
disposition. He has reached years
Of discretion and the heat of youth
ought no longer to excite the blood
in his veins. He is a naturalist. 1t
is assumed. therefore, that he has
lived "close to nature''-and he has
and to have imbibed from the
communion measure OF that peace
and calm that comes to all those at
tuned to the various moods of the
trees, the winds, the murmuring
brooks and all the growing things.
There should be breadth and large
of-doors. So it comes with mild
surprise that Burroughs should grow
'peevish," as press dispatches phrase
it, at the fact that newspaper CORES
pondents have trailed Mr.. Roosevelt
into Africa. There isn't the slight
est reason to suppose that Mr.. ROose-
welt objects. He has gone hunting
before with a brass band and a score
of typewriters. He has lived much
in the lime-light and only on one
notable occasion, still pending, by
the way, in the courts, has he object
ed very strongly to publicity. He
likes newspapers, you know, has
given them high praise, and when
they failed to suit him, has had no
hesitancy in admitting them to i'm
mediate membership in the Ananias
club. On the face of things, 1t is
fair to assume that Burroughs is
more worried over the affair than
Roosevelt. The latter, you see, has
always displayed remarkable abil-
ity to take care of himself under any
and all circumstances He probably
will exhibit a like trait in this in
Istance
And then the newspaper man has
a right to go to Africa. There is no
law that keeps him penned up in a
big city, cooped up in a study Office.
Doubtless he has heard the "call of
the wild" Very likely the trumpet
of the elephant. the roar of the lion,
the snort of the hippopotamus. the
long-drawn wall of the hippocrene,
the hippocentaur, the hippogriff, and
all the other hippos. the cry of the
high-strung giraffe, the cnattering OF
the orangoutangs, the soft murmur
of the gentle gorilla, the songs of the
birds of Paradise and all the sounds
and noises of the jungle, it's stiffness
and the beauty of its paths, the love-
illness of the tropic moon, the warmth
of the tropic day-very likely these
things have been sensed amid the
whirr of the presses and even the
odor of ink and the appeal of good
"stories" obscured by the far-fung
charm of Africa. So why should the
newspaper man resist? Why strug-
gle against the thing that grips?
There are naturalists, you know, in
the profession, men who seek moth
ing better than the camp and cara
van, who love to hunt, who sigh for
expeditions. They are all wealthy.
and IL they want to indulge these lit
tie fancies, why should Mr.. Bur-
roughs display "mean disposition"
by protesting?

premises perhaps, 1t might more
properly come from the public
