Hoao before the gong sounded in the

for McGurn winning after the pun
ishment he had received.
Game Looking Up.
The fight game here seems to be
looking up, for there were several
challenges given during the even
ing between bouts last night. Sar-
conf challenged the winner of the
Fink-Bauersocks go after his own
fight, and Kid Harding of Fort Ru-
ger offered to take on the same man.

THREE kNOCKOUTS IN Fights
At THE ASAHI LAST EVENING
MCGun Put Hoao to Sleep in the Fourth-Fnk Laid BaI-
erSoCkS Out in the Fifth, and Sarconi Defeated Young
Cans in the Fifth-HumdredS Present.

That Joe McGurn is fighter who
can take more than an ordinary
amount of punishment, was demon
strated last night at the Asahi The
alter, when he knocked out Jim Hoao
in the fourth round of a twelve.
round go. after taking enough
punches and body blows himself to
put most ordinary fighters to the
floor.
Several Surps ses.
There were some surprises last
evening in the squared circle in Hoo
nolulu It being the general opin-
ion that Hoao would last about eight
rounds, with the possibility of get.
ting McGurn at the first of the fight.
Bauersocks of the Fifth Cavalry
got his i'm the fight with Marine
Fink, and he got 1t good and prop
err, when the sea soldier knocked him
out in the sixth round of an eight
round contest.
Bauersocks Funny.
This is the third time that the
two men have come together, Bauer
socks getting decisions in the first
two bouts, but never succeeding In
knocking out his man.
At Leilehua two months ago the
man from the Fifth held up the bout
with Fink until he got different
division of the receipts than he hat
agreed to receive. Last night hi
adopted the same tactics and woult
not go into the ring until the money
for the fight had been posted in thu
hands of the referee.
Bauersocks has evidently read II
some sporting dope that fighters have
done this thing from time to time
and emulated their example.
He is a grandstand fighter, but b!

that he was up against a fight, ant

beaten and took the count.
Fink Improved.
As to Fink, the way that man ha!
improved in two months Is some
thing wonderful, and IL he does not
get swelled up over his victory last
night he will make considerable Of
a fighter in his class.
He was not the same man who

Fast and Furious.
The last and principal fight was
fast and furious, the men realizing
that the crowd had had its appetite
whetted for some good fighting by
the two preliminaries.
In the first round each man did
about the same amount of work, both
landing on the face and Hoao get.
ting in one on the body.
The second round saw some fast
fighting and wicked punches, Hoao
landing repeatedly, and from his
crouching position being hard for
McGurn to reach. The second was
all Hoaos round, McGurn starting of
by rushing, but being met every
time by Hoao, who got In blow aft
or blow to the face and body. Just
| before the end of the round he land
ed one on the side of the jaw that
turned McGurn's head around, but
McGurn came back with a punch OF
the same sort Just as the gong
4 sounded.
First Blood.
First blood was drawn in the third
/ with a stiif punch to Hoao's nose
but before this blood came Hoao had
| landed several times on McGurn's
face and jaw. Hoao started In ia
punish McGurn right here, and the
Irish lad took all that was coming
to him. 1t looked at one time as II
the Hawaiian had him; he was SC
helpless that he could not get his
hands up to guard his face, and yet
all the hooks that HOao landed could
not put the lad from the Coast out
of business. Before the end of the
round, McGurn's head seemed ia
clear somewhat, and he went after
Hoao. The gong at the end of this
round probably saved both men, for
each was weak when time sounded.
Last Round.
When the men came in for the
next round, Hoao had not recovered
from the punishment he had receiv-
ed the way McGurn had done, and
the latter started in to fight hard.

is still geren and does not follow up
his advantages, waiting for man
to recover himself instead of going
in and driving him to the ropes.
When he learns to land one blow
and follow it up with several more,
he will be bad man to go up
against, for he can stand lots of pun
ishment.
At their last fight, Bauersocks
merely put his hands to his face and,
guarding in that way, let Fink wear
himself out with useless punches.
Fink is now too wise to be led into
anything like this, and he waited for
Bauersocks to get going again. The
crowd would not stand for any stall
ing on the part of the man from Lei
lehua. and he had TO get in and fight
as well as he could.
All Clean Fights.
All the fights pulled off last even
ing were good ones, and the clean
knockouts in them suited the hun.
dreds OF fans who were present.
First Preliminary.
The Cans .Sarconi bout was the
first one on, the first round Of
this six-round contest being all t.
| Sarconi. The sc 'ond round was
Cans but the thiId, fourth and fifth
when the knockout came, were al
! Sarconi's.
II was clean fighting from the
start. and when his opponent tool
the count one round short of thu
limit, Sarconi jumped into the all
and cracked his heels together.
In the third round of this go botf
men landed some good punches, bod,
blows by Sarconi being the most eff
fective.
The fourth was all Sarconis, TO
he drove Cans around the ring and
up against the ropes, nearly finishing
the fight in that round.
In the fifth Cans swung wild and
by the middle of the round Sarcon
put him out with right and lef
to the jaw.
Delay Between Bouts.
There was some delay before the
men for the next bout appeared
caused by the demand that the none!
be put up with the referee before
Bauersocks would enter the ring.

ever, there was no doubt that the

Blackburn of Kentucky.

Although the election does not take
place until next year. the kentucky dem
ocrats are already discussing nomina-
tions for the contest. full state ticket
must be chosen and candidate for
United States senator indorsed.
Three years ago the republicans car
ried their ticket by nearly seventeen
thousand majority. and came within a
few votes of controlling the legislature
But although they lost that body, they
elected, through democratic divisions,
their candidate for the Senate. Gov
Beckham had been Endorsed for the SEN
atorship by the state convention of his
party, but could not poll his party's full
vote in the Legislature. Gov. Bradley
was chosen.
Since then the democracy has returned
to it's old form. In November last 1t
elected its candidate mayor of Louisville,
and won also in large majority of the
legislative contests. Its hope for next
year. therefore, is high, and speculation
as TO nominations shows both new figures
and old figures in the limelight
Among the old figures is ]. c. S. Black

that radical politics in the United States
and England were discussed for an hour.
Shall we see Mr.. Hearst accept a nomi-
nation for Office this year? Several of his
trips to Europe have resulted in that way.
When he ran for mayor against MI Nc
Clellan he was fresh from foreign tour
Upon landing, he would not agree to the
proposition that he make the race. But
urging brought him around, and he sur
prised everybody, himself included, by
the strength he showed.
When he tried for the governorship of
New York against Mr.. Hughes he had
come into the field reluctantly following
sojourn in Europe It was only after his
friends had persuaded him that he was
the sole hope of the cause that he con-
scented to lead them. Then he did his
best. bringing Tammany into camp and
otherwise putting up a vigorous fight.
Last year when he ran against Judge
Gaynor for mayor he came to the de-
cision slowly. Again he had been
abroad. and upon landing had expressed
himself against a nomination. But he
found himself unable to resist the pres
sure of his followers, and. while miss
ing the office he sought. helped ma
the purse of the town, out of Tam
many's claws
This year Mr.. Hearsts friends want
him to try for the governorship again
Conditions are so chaotic in the two
old parties they think his opportunity
has come. He has given no encourage
ment to the suggestion. 1t will be re-
newed upon his return. Will he yield
again? He is coming back full of poll
tics of all kinds. His communings with
Mr.. Lloyd-George are bringing him up
to date on foreign questions, and he is
keeping abreast OF local questions
through the medium of the press and
the mail.
Should there be third ticket headed
by a man with an organization, the
present uncertainty in the state about
November would be greatly increased.
Mr. Hearsts candidacy would draw
from both of the old parties but from

Special Treatment for Inebriates.

New York city is another municipality
which may attempt the reformation and
redemption Of inebr!ates by the curative
rather than the punitive process. Among
the states which treat the drunkard more
from the medical than the penal point of
view are Massa chusetts, Connecticut,
Pennsylvania, Iowa, Minnesota and Ne
braska. The Grady-Lee bill, recently
passed by the New York legislature, au-
thorizes the board of estimate of New
York city to appoint a board of inebriety
to have charge of the compulsory treat.
meut of habitual drunkards. 1t provides
that inebriates may be committed TO an
institution, comprising a special hospital
and colony buildings and a large area of
farming land, the whole being under the
supervision OF medical officer The
project is in line with the best thought in
the matter of the treatment of this large
class of delinquents.
The act defines an inebriate las per-
son incapable of properly conducting him
self or his affairs or dangerous TO himself
or others, by reason of habits of period
ical, frequent or constant drunkenness,
induced either by the use of alcohol or
other liquors or of opium, morphine OR
ing substance. The inebriate may apply
on his own initiative to civil court for
commitment to this institution, should
he not himself apply, his relatives or the
trustees of Bellevue and allied hospitals
or the commissioner of public charities
may apply, and if their application shall
be accompanied by the certificate of two
medical examiners in lunacy, such a per-
son can be committed by the judge to the
institution for a period of not less than
one year nor more than three years.
An important feature of the act is that
which deals with the question of proba
ton. Probationary officers called field Of
ficers, are to be employed. They are to
strive to render it unnecessary to commit
a person to the inebriate colony. A per-
son arrested for public intoxication may
be put on probation, under supervision of
field officer, and commitment to the
colony will follow only as final resort.
This method of treatment for inebriates
is no experiment. 1t is supported by the
best medical opis.sn and by the expert
ence of those cities and states which have
given it trial England has long had
institutions for the separate and special
treatment of inebriates.

An Infantry Post at Washington.

The proposition is preached now and
then that an infantry post be esta blished
In Washington. 1t is a project for which
a strong argument can be made and
against which nothing that is reasonable
can be said. A regular infantryman is
rarely seen in the capital Not a COM
pany or squad of the branch of the serv-
ice which with some aid from other
arms fights battles and campaigns and
wins wars. is stationed in the capital of
the nation. The thirty regiments of in
fantry. with more than 1900 enlisted
men and LOO officers, are scattered over
the map of the United States and its pos
sessions. The Sd. 9th, eth, 9th, 12th, 10Th.
two battalions of the 10th and the Dist
Regiments are in the Philippines. The
I'd Battalion of the 10th is in Hawaii and
the 22d Regiment in Alaska.
The east has it's share of infantry. The
9th is at Plattsburg barracks, New York
the 10th al Fort Benjamin Harrison, In
diana: the 18th at Fort Mcpherson,
Georgia. the oath at Madison barracks
and Fort Ontario, New York; the 18th
al Fort Wayne and Fort Brady Michi-
gan; the 2Ith at Fort Sheridan. Illinois,
and the 18th at Fort Jay, Fort Porter
and Fort Niagara. New York. Several
OF these posts, notably Forts Sheridan,
Harrison, Mcpherson and the Presidio,
are close to big towns There should be
q regimental Infantry post close to the
capital. There are wide stretches of
cheap land near the city where a great
and useful post could be established.
Every other branch OF the army is rep
resented here. OF the engineer troops

E and + of the Sd Regiment are at Fort
Myer. the 18th. 18th, 10th, 18TH and 143d
Companies of Coast Artillery are at Fort
Washington, and the 47th at Fort Hunt.
Headquarters and the first squadron OF
the 18th Cavalry are at Fort Myer, and
Company C, Hospital Corps. is at the
Walter Reed General Hospital The army
list does not show a Signal Corps COM
pany here, but this small though highly
technical branch of the service has not
been neglected as has the magnificent
infantry arm.
With the expansion of the military
establishment and the development Of the
National Guard the government needs
more land and should have more land
near Washington. Fort Myer itself is
not large enough for artillery and cav
airy. Its drill field affords that kind OF
instruction To officers and men which
might be called outdoor armory work.
once in while one hears something
about the esta adjustment of a field artil-
lery target range near Washington, but
the idea seems TO fade away.
