SUNDAYS GAME.

Sundays game was a tragedy as far
as the All-Hawaiis were concerned.
After making a very fair showing for
seven innings Leslie pitched a kinder
garten game in the eight and allowed
a nest of runs to be disturbed. The
bell tolled nine times when the ses-
sion was over.
AS on Saturday there was little root
ing. The seemly demeanor of the
alleged fans reminded one of a game
of cricket.
The trouble in the eighth started
when Delehanty tried to beat a slow
one to first and nearly capsized Eddie
Fernandez who was guarding the ini-
tial sack in the effort. The ump
said safe ano the jumps name was
Joy.
The crowd got real vexed over the
decision but amer passing out FEW
compliments to the boilermaker lapsed
into sweet slumber again.
After the Delehanty contretemps the
locals seemed to be kahunaed. Leslie
started walking race in way which
put Jack Scully's efforts in that par
ticular line completely to shame. Then
he treated the batters to a few pud-
ding balls and before one could say

FRANKIE SMITH
FOUGHT REILLY
AN EVEN DRAW

Promoter Cohen had no cause to kick
at the size of the house which wit
messed his fistic show at the Orpheum
on Saturday night. The sport, on the
whole was good; part of it was excru-
ciatingly funny.
When the smoke cleared away it
was learned that Young Scott and Ed
die Hines had boxed draw, that Joe
Silva had defeated Soldier Miller and
that frankie Smith had broken even
with Charlie Reilly.
The main event was a peach from
spectacular standpoint 1t was full of
go all the way and the fast pace set in
the first round was well maintained up
to the fifteenth's close.
After rumors of disagreement as
to which rules the boys should box un-
der, it was announced that they would
break at the order of Referee Ryan;
also that if both men were on their
feet at the end of the Fifteenth round
it should be called draw. This lat
ter arrangement was in the nature of
a compromise as Smith had held out
for straight rules and Reilly had insist
ed on clean break, regulation which
favors Reilly on account Of his par
ticular style of fighting.
Reilly was there with all his old
cleverness. On proints he would prob
ably have been declared winner. Smith
bored in all the time, content to take 8
blows in order to get In one, la But
ting Nelson. AS things turned out it
was lucky thing for Reilly that the
bout wasn't contested under straight
Queensbury rules.
There was no Knock-down during the
contest, nor during the whole evening
for that matter. Both Smith and Reil-
ly were unstable on their pins when
the gong rang at the close of the ff-
teenth round.
Smith made Reilly loosen up more
than he has ever been forced to do here
before and he hadn't the chance to
use that worrisome left of his nearly
as much as when boxing with stand
off opponent.
Reilly drew blood from Smiths
proboscis in the first round. The fur

The Reach combination of baseball ,
players is clearly too good for the
best that Hawaii has to offer in the
line of diamond talent. This was
proved in the games of Saturday and
yesterday.
Despite the fact that they had just
come off the boat, the Mikeites won
their first engagement by the score OF
s to 1. and the solitary tally credited
to the local nine was a palpable al
lowance.
The visitors played star ball and are
a better crowd, from a ball-playing
standpoint, than were the Spaldngs,
There were few features to the game
on Saturday. In the fourth Kia
caught the ball lucky punch which
sent the leather to the left fence and
netted two bags
In the same inning Soares disposed
of Nick Williams at the plate by a
clever feint of throwing to third, as
pretty a bit of baseball sleight-of-hand
as has been witnessed here for a long
time.
In the eighth the Hawaiis were bases
full with only one man gone. The
chance to score went a-glimmering,
however.
The homesters took theirs in the
ninth. Bruins hit to first, swiped sec
ond and went home on Bliss wild
throw.
The crowd was only fair There was
but little enthusiasm shown by the oC-
cupants of the bleachers. Baseball in
terest here is evidently passing through
the seventh year of rot which affects
the rabbits of the Canadian Northwest
and the CoIonies.
JOY umpired and his decisions favor
ed the Star-spangled bunch more than
the crowd liked. Again and again the
big slabster was yelled at to put an
All-American uniform on
Soares passed balls like a doorkeeper
at a prize-fght passes officers who dis
play their stars. Reuter- was too
strong for him. Also he had a sore
hand. Just why Hawaii can't develop
catcher capable of holding dozen
hot deliveries is a mystery that has
yet to be solved.
The game, as a whole, was marked
by some brilliant plays mixed in with a
whole mass of stupidity. This APP
plies equally to either nine.

ed a good left and looks to be conner.
Scott played for the wind most OF
the time and Eddie went after his mans
jaw as though he loved it.
Both tried hard for the decision in
the last round, Scott starting out in
whirlwind fashion and Hines rallying
strongly at the end of the round.
"Punchbowl' Silva and Soldier Miller
next finished a siX-round burlesque.
The bout was scheduled as an eight
round affair but was switched to six
rounds at the last moment. AS events
proved this was more than enough OF
the exhibition dished out, but there is
too much of a tendency on the part
of promoters to advertise one thing and
then shave the rounds when the boys
get in the ring.
Silva boxed like crab. Miller
didn't box at all. However he came to
be matched with Dick Sullivan will
probably be handed down as one of the
wonders of the twentieth century.

of rounds and Referee Peterson was
vocierously entreated to take EN- off. y
Each man was dead scared of the 9th
er. Miller looked and acted like a
dancing master. Silva reminded one
of combination of Joe Wolcott and
Sam Langford, with the exception that
the latter two are black whereas Silva
| is yellow.
Toward the end the fight CD Miller
tapped Silva on the eyebrow and the
latter got real mad. He went after
tie soldier with surprising alacrity ano
getting home some sledge-hammel
blows, had him on Queer Street at the
finish of the bout.
Miller chewed gum throughout tine
argument. That was the severest ply
seal exercise he INDUCED in during the
entire six rounds.
Silva has issued a statement that he
will challenge the winner of the Sui
livan-Peterson battle Auwe, auwe!

and conveyed it in refrigerated ears
to Its destination, feeling that its
task was properly fulfilled. The
selling agent or produce man dis
posed Of if to the best advantage
deductiEg losses from decay, and
felt that his work was complete.
The producer received his report of
losses from rot more or less incredu
ously, and felt that there was bad
management or dishonests of which
he was the vict!mr No one was
conscious Of wrong methods. 1t
was a puzzling problem, but the
Department Of Agriculture set out
to solve it.
Some of the first work done to
ascertain causes Of decay in fruit
was at the Geneva Experiment
Station in New York, in charge of
Prof. n. P. Hedrick. The object
was to ascertain whether apples
grown in highly cultivated orchards
had better keeping qualities than
those from orchards which were sod
ded. These experiments were CARR
ed on for three or four years, and
satisfied the department that while
apples from grass-grown orchards
were more highly colored, those
from cultivated orchards kept bet
ter.
COOLING PEACHES IN TRANSIT
Encouraged by the success achiev-
ed in the Northern fruit fields, the
Department of Agriculture turned
its attention to the Georgia peach
situation. In Georgia the peach
crop, ranging from 1900 to 5000
carloads, ripens mostly in July, and
it reaches market practically with
in a period of four weeks. Evidcnt-
ly it IS Of great importance that the
crop shall be distributed as widely
as possible in order to prevent
giut in any market. This is made
more difficult by the humidity usu-
ally prevailing when the fruit rip
ems. To prevent the growth of
fungi, particularly the brown rot,
which is more rapid when humidity
prevails, it has been found neces-
sary to cool the fruit quickly and
informally. Formerly this was
attempted by putting the freshly
picked fruit in refrigerator cars, but
in studying the temperature of the
fruit ct different points in transit
the fact was shown that while the
lower tiers were collcd quickly, the
upper tiers cooled much more slow
II. In consequence, the upper tiers
continued to ripen after the lower
tiers were almost at freezing point,
and on arrival of the fruit at its
destination the upper tiers Of boxes
contained large proportion of over
ripe fruit while the lower tiers con-
tanned fruit which was in frst-class
condition. 1t was determined that
the reason for this was that the ice
capacity of the cars was insufficient
to cool the entire carload quickly
enough to stop ripenlng in transit.
Experiments demonstrated the fact
that with quick cooling the ripen
ing in transit could be greatly re-
duced, the temperature would be
maintained at a uniform degree,
and the fruit would arrive in much
better condition. Formerly the
only way known to the growers to
prevent excessive decay in transit
was to pick the fruit before it was
matured, which lowers the whole
someness and attractiveness of the
fruit, md hinders the widening of
the market.
