MORE VICTORIES
FOR BUICK AUTO

AT the great annual race meet OF
the Automobile Club of Canada at
Montreal, on Friday and Saturday,
July 9th and 10th, Bobby Burman and
his forty-horse-power Buick proved
the sensation of the occasion, and
legenthened the Bucks unbroken
chain of victories to the extent of
eight links, by winning that number OF
events in which he defeated a large
number of high-powered cars, includ-
ing Walter Christie's 135-horse-power
racer
In the 10O-mile event Burman again
lowered his own and the worlds stock
car record, setting pace so fast and
grilling that his competitors finished
many miles in the rear. A feature OF
the meet was the driving of Mr.. Rob
ertson, an amateur of Montreal, who,
in Buick, won in fast time every race
in which he started, including the
championship of the Province of Que
bee.
While Burman was thus amusing
himself at Montreal and winning glory
and renown for both himself and the
Buick car, Louis Chevrolet of Cobe
trophy fame; Lewis Strang and George
de Witt were again busy at the rec
game at Springfield,
III, and in the fifty-mile free-for-alI
event the worlds record for that dis
lance, which was lowered by Strang in
a Buick Forty" on July Sd at Column
bus, Ohio, was again dropped a notch
by Strang.

FISTIC PROGRAM
SATURDAY NIGHT
Communicated

Dick Sullivan and Jack Cordell the
men who are scheduled to box twenty
rounds at the Star Theater on Satur-
day evening next, will work as usual
this afternoon at their respective head
quarters. Both are in fine shape and
will experience no difficulty in making
the specified weight which is 1856
pounds at 8 O'Clock.
Great interest is being taken in the
coming contest, for the contestants
have hosts of admirers and while
l,they have conclusively demonstrated
that there is little or nothing between
them in a fifteen-round go, the whole
sporting community is trying to figure
who will benefit most by the extra five
rounds which have to be boxed this
time.
There will be only one preliminary
but that will be a hummer 1t will
take the shape of a siX-round go be-
tween SarConi of the Marines and Kid
Terry of the U. S. S Iroquois. These
men will scrap at about 100 pounds and
their go is certain to be of very gin
gerry description.
The advance sale of seats is now pro-
ceeding merrily at the cigar store OF
Fitzpatrick Bros at the corner OF Fort
and Hotel streets and judging from
the demand record house will wit
ness the battle of the giants.
The Star Theater is situated at the
corner of Liliha and Kukui streets,
block above King street The seat
ing arrangements are being personally
looked after by Promoter Jack Scully
who intends to leave no effort unspar-
ed to secure the comfort and conve-
nience of patrons of the contest

SAILORS CANNOT
PLAY BASEBALL

The Marines of Camp Very think
there is one officer on board the cruis-
er St Louis who would not pass mus
ter as a first class baseball fan. His
name and rank are unknown, but that
matters little anyway The fact is
that game had been arranged be-
tween the Camp Very teamfa and a nine
from the big cruiser, to be played off
this afternoon. An officer, hearing Of
the matter, not only refused to allow
the players to go out yesterday for
practice, but ordered them up to paint
the masts. The team members in body
resigned, turning in their uniforms
and declaring that they would not
play baseball again.
Lieutenant Kilgore, of the local Ma
rine corps, was informed early this
morning of the situation and expressed
surprise and regret that a game be-
tween his men and the St. Louis boys
could not be arranged. He is inclin-
ed to think, however, that there is
some good reason for the failure OF
the officers TO allow time for practice:
as athletics particularly basebalD are
encouraged on all American ships.
The St Louis has a crack baseball
team on board, but it is claimed that
they are out of practice-or, rather,
never have had practice together. The
crew was picked UP from numerous
sources only a few weeks ago on the
Coast, coming in squads from differ
ent ships; and neither here nor in
Samoa have they had a chance to get
together for live practice. 1t is just
possible that the knowledge OF this un-
fitness caused the officers to discour-
age matches here.

MARINE CATCHER
NOT BADLY HURT

Visitors to Athletic park Sunday at
ternoon will remember that in the hot
test part of the battle between the
Marines and Kalihis, Catcher Ander-
son, of the former, had his business
hand hurt and was forced to leave
the game. 1t was thought at the time
and for quite a while afterward that
the great catcher had broken a fin
ger and that he would be out of COM
mission for the rest of the season.
Such, however, is not the case The
Camp Very medicoes were unable to
determine definitely Sunday night the
extent of the damage to the bones of
"Andys' hand; but yesterday they
established the fact that it was only
very severe sprain, from which he
would recover in short time,
1t may be possible, indeed, that he
will be in the game next Sunday
A meeting of the Oahu Junior Lea
que will be held at the offices of Sen
ator Charles F. Chillingworth this
evening, beginning at 1880 o'clock
A meeting of the Oahu Senior Lea
que will be held at Chillingworth's
Thursday evening, also at 1870 o'clock.

SPORTS
GLADIATORS ONCE
MORE IN TRAINING

The box plan for the twenty-round
boxing contest between Dick Sullivan
and Jack Cordell, which will take
place at the Star theater off Liliha
street. at the head of Kukui, next
Saturday evening-has been opened at
the cigar store of Fitzpatrick Bros.
Hotel and Fort streets. A healthy
start was made yesterday, and the
gentlemen in charge of the tickets re-
port indications of a very large au-
dience on the evening of the enter
tainment.
Since his last contest with Cordell,
which resulted in a draw, Sullivan
has opened a business place in Mer-
chant street. Some have wondered
how the hard work of making money
and the equally strenuous duty Of
training could be managed at one and
the same time Sullivan manages it
by giving his mornings over to hit
ting the cash register and his after
moons to training At Fort Shafter
he has Fulton, a very likely man. as
punching bag. Miller has gone
away, but Fulton takes his place ad-
mirably; and there is no end Of sur
plus material in the camp.
Jack Cordell is situated even bet
ter, in so far as sparring material is
concerned. He has the entire Marine
camp, the Honolulu Iron Works, wa
terfront and street car barn to drawn
upon; and when the good Gnes from
all these places show up, COrdell finds
his hands quite full.
The preliminary to the big event will
be a siX-round go between Bugler Sar-
conf and Kid Terry. Sarconi is well
known to the public generally. So
cially, he is a good fellow and in the
Marine camp he is well liked. He is
an all-round athlete and as a fighter
stands topnotch in his class. Terry
has slightly the best of him in weight.
He is a frisky lad and those who
nllow both men predict that the bout
will be an interesting one.
In putting on the program, Mr..
Scully feels that he is taking great,
financial chances; but the complete
success of the last entertainment, |
which resulted satisfactorily to every
body, assures him that the public will
again endorse and support his efforts
to supply the real article in clean, ring
contests.

MEETING OF THE
DIRECTORS

The directors of the Y. M. G. A,
held most important session last
evening. 1t was to have been the re-
gular monthly meeting for August,
and, as a matter of fact, the bust
ness of the month was properly dis
posed of; but most of the time Of
the directorate was taken up in the
consideration of the report of Secre-
'tary Super, on his eastern tour, and
preliminary arrangements for the cam
paign in the interest of new build
ing.
Richard H. Trent, president of the
Association, was in the chair Other
officers present were: w, G. Hall,
vice president; Frank c. Atherton,
treasurer; George s. Waterhouse, sec
rotary; r. ]. Pratt Edwin o. Hall,
F. D. Lowrey, Ed Towse, Prof. w. II.
Pope, and Secretary Paul Super.
After the preliminary business had
been gotten out of the way, Mr., SUI
per presented a detailed report of his
trip. He stated that he had attend
ed the following three, important con-
ferencs: International Railroad Y, M,
c. A. Conference, at st. Louis; Con-
ference of Y M. c. A. Secretaries of
America, at Omaha, and the Confer
ence of Western College Men. at Cas-
cade, Colorado. At all of these he
had learned a great deal of Y M. G.
A, methods in other places, and felt
that he had impaired information OF
value concerning the work here.

MONDAY RESULTS
IN HANDBALL GO

One of the most interesting con-
tests in the present handball tourna-
ment at the Y M. c. A. was pulled
off yesterday afternoon between T. St.
John and NJ. G. Johnston. In point
of summers, these players are said to
be the oldest in the tournament, and
this added interest to the battle be-
tween them Quite large number of
players and outsiders witnessed the
games. Johnston was the victor, the
scores being PHO 1921 and Pills.
The results alone amply show what a
hard time of it somebody had.
St John, by the way, is quite an
athletic. He frequently puts on the
gloves with Young Nelson, who is al
so a member of the Y. M. C. A. He
made the Myrtle crew for the Regatta
day races in September, but on account
of his employment as motorman on
the cars finds himself unable to keep
up training.
Johnston will now have TO play in
the finals, he having won up to the
last man This afternoon Mott will
play Marcallino, and the winner of
that match will meet Johnston on
Friday afternoon for the champion
ship. AS Mott and Marcallino have
been playing pretty even game, it
is hard to foretell how their final
argument may result.
