Jack McFadden and wahilani to-
gether could not knock out the sailor
lad, Hughey Wire, from the cruiser
Chattanooga, who went into the ring
last night to take the place of Tim
Terrier in the second preliminary to
the Hoao- Mccullough battle at Aloha
Park.
The sailor boy was a good scrapper
and if he had not been merciful he
could have killed the native wonder in
the second round He hit the Wild
Swan wallop on the jaw that Topped
him on his back. Then Jack started to
count, but it annoyed him to have
the live Wire standing by ready to
follow it up, so he stopped counting
and pushed Wire over to the ropes.
Then he came back and started all over
again.
BY and by the sailor strayed too near
again to suit McFadden and he went
through the same performance and by
this time Wahiiani was feeling better
and got up.
The sailor waded in again and after
both had swung few Wahilani was
going again. He stopped fighting, went
over to the ropes and hung over them
as though he was seasick from the
sailors blows. Wire walked up to him
and patted him few on the shoulder
blades and head and this ended the
second round.
Wire swung right and left at the
opening of the third. They looked too
vicious for the Wild Swan and he
crouched on his hands and knees, and
Jack fought off his assailant until Wa
hilani got ready to get up. Three times
the native wonder went down in this
manner and Jack protected him from
the hardy mariner until he was ready
to have another try Finally he rushed
wild at the sailor, rushed him to the
ropes and stood pounding him on the
mitts which he held over his face. Wa
hilani showed him right into his corner
and held him there until Jack decided
that Wahilani was the winner.
The sailor man was never given a
chance to fight from the minute things
were coming his way. Once when the
native assumed a posture much like a
bullfrog, the sailor took a swing at
his Jaw and Wahilani tried to claim
that foul. Some said the sailor
swung when Wahilani was down, but
the sailor let fly when he was squat
ting. When McFadden presented Wa
hiiani as the winner the crowd hooted
and three or four sailors jumped into
the ring. McDufie and several of his
detective staff were on hand and got
under the ropes in time to stop rough
house.
Then Jack made a speech and de

he did not reverse his decision.
Hoao Won on Points.
Jim Hoao won the main event of the
evening on points in his ten-round g
with soldier Mccullough and there was
no fault found with the decision. Jach
Cordell was the referee. The fight last
ed the limit and both men seemed fresl
at the finish.
Hoao did most of the hitting ant
when he landed hard it just touched NJ
Mccullough Is speed and he had to lool
out for trouble, for the soldier SWUNG
furious rights and lefts back and tried
several vicious uppercuts. The nativ,
lad played more cautious than in hi
fight with Tim Terren on June thu
eleventh He did most of the leading
but it was one punch to the face ant

the waist.
Hoao was some taller than McCol
Tough and he stopped so that it wa
hard for the soldier to reach his body
He protected his face pretty we'll an
celeverly lodged McCollough's upper
cuts Mccullough would look off to on
side, unconcerned, then do pretty lii
tie gig movement with his fists an
go to it. Hoao would step back, cove
his face and watch for an opening t
slam in one. In the third he lande
vicious welt that caught McColloug
close to the wind bag and the soldie
went down, but for only two count
when he jumped to his feet and cam
back with vengeance.
The first round was tame. Hoa
landed a right to the jaw and McCo
Tough missed a fierce uppercut. In tn
{ second the native kept putting in quic
punches and hugging the soldier. Ono
Mccullough brushed his hair back wit
his right hand and Hoao was quick I
take advantage. He landed hard bod
blow which got the soldier mad. The
mixed it and fought hard until the gon
sounded.
Hoao confined his hit and clinch tal
