BILL LANGE'S feat

The greatest individual feat eve"
performed was one by which, Bill
LANCE saved a game for Chicago
and 5000 for. himself in Washington
in 1895, says a writer in The hmori-
can Magazine. There is an odd story
connected with the play. Lange had
missed train in Boston two days
before, failed to reach New York in
time to play there, and Arson had
fined him $100. Thereupon he miss
ed a train to ington--artiyed
on the grounds after the teams had
practiced and just in time to play,
and for that Arson fined him anoth-
err $100 The game that afternoon
went II innings, Chicago Scoring one
run in the 18th. There were two men
out and runner on the bases when
kip" Setback, then one of the hard
est hitters in the business, smOte >ehe
ball a terrific blow and sent it flying
over Lange's head toward the cen+er
field fence. The hit seemed sure
home run, but Lange, a man weigh
ing 225 pounds, turned and without
looking sprinted desperately straight
out toward the fence, racing with the
flying ball At the last instant, as
the ball was going over his head,
Lange leaped, stuck up both hands,
turned a somersault and crashed
against the fence. The boards splint-
cred, one entire panel crashed out
ward, and out of the wreckage crawl
ed LANCE, holding the ball in his
hand, and the crowd went mad.
Lange came limping in, with the
crowd standing on seats shouting,
and he said to Arson, Fines go,
eap?" Nope" said Arson, and the
catch had saved the big fielder $500.

WITH THE JOLLY
MARATHONITES

Thursday afternoon was a busy day
at the baseball league grounds. Tsu-
kamoto, Antoine Kaoo and Nigel jack
son all worked on the grass track and
made good time TO rthe distances they
ran. TsuKamoto ran 10 miles in 1
hour and 2 minutes, and finished easy.
He is in beautiful condition and from
the looks OF things will be the favo-
rite His run at the ball park yes
terday was the best ever run by him
and is remarkably fast time averaging
6 minutes IL seconds.
Antoine Kaoo, the Hawaiian, cut out
8 miles in So minutes 80 seconds aver
aging minutes 1J seconds to the mile;
but he did not run as far as Tsuka-
motto. If he mad perhaps their aver
ages would have been the same. Kaoo
has changed his stride having length
ened it considerably.
Jackson ran Is miles, the first ten
being covered in 1 hour, 2 minutes, So
seconds and the Is miles in 1 hour 80
minutes, 81 seconds, which is good
going
| In this run he made many long and
fast sprints.

First come two short preliminaries'
which should be full of ginger on ac-
count of the limited number OF
rounds and then the crowd which
gathers at Aloha Park tonight will
see Charlie Riley and Dick Cullen
hook up for a fifteen-round bout for
the championship of the lightweights
of Hawaii With Mike Patton in the
ring as the referee the spectators
should enjoy themselves to the linn
it tonight, as Mike will keep the men
going all the time and too much hug
ging will not be allowed if he keeps
to the style which he has shown up
to this time.
The boys will box under straight
MARQUIS of Queensberry rules, that
is they will be allowed to hit when
ever one arm is free. While Cullen
has never been seen in action here
it seems likely that this style OF
fighting will be rather in his favor.
One thing at least is certain, that
with a clean break Riley would have
the advantage on account of the tact
that he is cleverer than his oppo-
nent. If Cullen likes the infighting
game. which he apparently does, or
he would not have stood out for
straight rules, he should be able to
score on the present champion.
According to the way in which
most of the fans look at the fight il
the full route of fifteen rounds is
Travelled Riley should get the deci-
sion, while if Cullen wins it will be
by the knockout route. This is the
dope given on account OF Rlleys
speed. for it must be acknowledged
speed, for it must be acknowledged
that he is the fastest little man ever
seen in Honolulu.

BOXERS IN SHAPE
AND DOWN TO WEIGHT

Limey Richards is scheduled by
his supporters to carry away the de-
cision from Jack Coyle. He is in
perfect condition and the fact that
he has been acting as Riley's spar
ring partner for the past few weeks
has added considerably to his speed
and the crowd will not see so many
of the wild swings which have been
in evidence in the past when he
stepped into the ring.
Kid Terry ought to win from Kid
Franklin, having had more expert
ence than the latter and his boxing
with Cullen has helped him out con-
siderably Franklin, however, is a
willing boy and has hard kick
which would put HID opponent to
sleep in jig time if it should land.
The two boys Riley and Cullen
weighed in in rather perfunctory
manner yesterday, both wearing their
street clothes and doing the trick TO
please Promoter Scully who wanted
to make sure that no difficulty would
arise just before the men went into
the ring. Everything was satisfac-
tory and there will be no difficulty
over the weight. Riley had the ad-
vantage by one pound.
With no trouble about the weight,
both men in perfect condition and a
man as referee who is satisfactory
to the general public as well as to
the two boxers, a good fight is assur-
ed, Another matter which is also
certain is that there will be a good
crowd The sale of seats which has
been going at Fitzpatrick's cigar
store has been far better than that
of any of the fights which have TAX
en- place for long time, with the
possible exception of the Cordell-Sul-
Ivan contests.

GOOD PROMISE
FOR FOOTBALL
A BIG CROWD SHOULD BE IN
ATTENDANCE AT ALEXANDER
FIELD THIS AFTERNOON.

The football game between the
Oahu College and the College of Ha-
wall which takes place this afternoon
at the Alexander field will attract a
large crowd of spectators. From the
indications it would seem as though
Punahou should win, though they
will be given run for their money.
The game played last Saturday be-
tween the High School and the Col
lege of Hawaii was so close and ex-
citing from start to finish that every
one who was present at that contest
will be sure to be on hand this after
noon and watch for big doings.
There seems TO have been a revi-
val of football as the result of the
game Saturday and it is quite posi-
BILE that the town team, which have
been practicing for the last two OF
three weeks, may play the winner
of the match today. The mixture OF
intercollegiate, soccer and Rugby
has done the game here little good
the first named game being the only
one which can attract a crowd and
the others rather buttingin and hurt
ing sport in general.
