In the fourth round of his 10
round go with Tommy Kilban of
Cleveland. at the Eagles club, Abe
Attell, champion boxer of the feath-
er weight division, was so seriously
injured in a fall that he may never
box again. While in clinch with
Kilbane the two fell, and Attell
landed with his arm in back of him,
and one of the bones in his right
shoulder was broken. He was hur-
ried to a hospital. For 10 years
Attell has been feather weight cham
pion, and in that time he has never
been injured. His possible elimin-

speculation as to who will succeed

The bout was lively one from the
start, and it was nip and tuck all
the way through. 1t was anybody

Successful Portrayal
Of the District School.

Last Saturday evening a number
of Wailuku residents presented to
an appreciative audience, farce
entitled "The District School" /"
The show was complete success
from every standpoint, and it is to
be hoped that it will be possible to
not only repeat the performance,
but to get together and give periodi-
cal performances Of like nature.
There is a lot OF work attached to
getting up a show of this sort. but
when they are SO well patronized
and appreciated as this one was it
should prove an incentive to those
who took part to even greater efforts.
The show Saturday night was en-
tered into with spirit by all who
took part, and many in the audience
were carried back to vivid recollec-
ton OF the days when they were
active participants. When the
country teacher was proud to show
off her scholars to their equally
proud parents. Many and ludicrous
were the answers given to questions
Saturday night, but they were en-
tertaining. Some very good amateur
talent could I've developed out OF
these make believe school children
for more pretentious performances,
and no doubt they will be seen again
in the near future. The Union
Church, for which the performance
was given, will realize something
over 500 from the entertainment.
