NEXT CARD IS
ALL ARRANGED
peterson and Sullivan to Box
Fifteen Rounds a Week
From Saturday.

The next boxing bout is all ar
ranged and the card looks as good as
the one that delighted the fans last
Saturday night. 1t will be at the Or
pheum week from next Saturday.
Dlek Sullivan and Peterson will be
che main attraction in fifteen round
middieweight go. Soldier Mccullough
will reappear, greatly to the joy of
the fans, in an eight-round argument
with Young scotty, and the one and
only Hercules H., the fighting Greek.
will see what he can do with Hans
Nelson, the indomitable Dane from
Camp Very.
The last, or, rather, the first go
should bring out plenty of amuse-
ment. Hercules is a cook in a local
restaurant and he is enormously pow
erfui. He weighs in the neighbor-
hood of l5S pounds and is very conf
dent that some day he will be the
champion.
Every day he works strenuously and
is always in the very tiptop of condi-
ton. At present he has not shown
any great signs of cleverness in his
workouts, but he can hit blow like
a sledge- hammer, and, so far as can
be seen, is entirely unaffected by the
hardest rain of blows that an oppo-
nent can shower on him.
Hans Nelson, who will try to put
Hercules away in the short space of
four rounds, has good recommends
ton. He is a. first cousin of the orig
inal durable Dane, Bat Nelson. He is
only youngster, but his manager
states that he is a very hard hitter
and is getting more cleverness every
day. Like his cousin, his forte is eat
ing punishment, and with a man like
him up against Hercules H., we may
see some fine milling for four rounds.
Mccullough Welcomed.
Every fan in town will be glad to
see Mccullough back on the stage. In
the last six months he has made rapid
advances in the favor of the local
sportsmen and also in knowledge of
the game. He is the most wonderful
ly game man one could wish to see
box. He does not know what it is to
be beaten, and comes back for more
every time. Doubtless, during his rest,
he has been practising in the camp
gymnasium, and we may be assured
that, whether he beat Scotty or not,
he will be there to wipe away the

day nights second preliminary.
The main event is an unknown guam
tity, except that we know from Pc
terson s record and what we have seen
of his boxing that he will be a good
match for Sullivan. The latter is just
about right for bout. He has been
in splendid health for some time and
needs only a little work to put him
in the tiptop of fitness for hard
MILL His speedy left is all tucked
away in cotton wool ready to be taken
out and exhibited at any time, and
maybe it won t stir them up.
The camps will divide up as usual.
Dick Sullivan will work at the Hea-
lani Boat Club and will have Her
cules and, perhaps, Young Scott with
him. Peterson will work at the Or
pheum, and Hines will partner him,
while Nelson may come up there to
work in the afternoon instead of stay
ing at the camp.
Soldier Mccullough, of course, will
work at Fort Shafter, where there is
everything for training. For man
that does not need sea water in his
training, the camp is an ideal place,
In fact. this town is wonderfully sup
piled with good training places. There
are four of them that would be chased
after by all the champions If they
were taken up by a jim and dropped
on the Coast.
