HORSE RACING
PROSPECTS HERE

Major Collier, the best race horse
ever bred in Hawaii, continues to
farm the Hawaiian-bred races and
there is every probability of his do
ing so for a couple of seasons more
to come.
The only horse at the Maui meet
ing which could give him anything
like a rub was Dr.. F'itzgerald's Ath-
lone, likely-looking son of Royal
F., he by imp. Royal Flush. This
horse has been well tried at a half
mile, but lacked schooling at the
post and got the worst of every start.
He will be a much better horse next
year. though whether he will ever
follow in the footsteps of the Major,
except in a race, is problematical.
The presence of the invincible
Eastertide gelding in the home-bred
class stiles the opposition, and 1t
would be well, in the interest of the
Hawaiian-bred horses, for the excel
tive of future race meetings held in
the Territory, to give purses for
Hawaiian-bred maidens which would
give the younger and less distin-
guished animals a chance of earning
brackets.
Next year is likely to see several
Hawaiian-bred youngsters make their
debut on the local turf provided
proper inducements are offered their
owners to race their horses. With
stations like Indra, st. Avon Warn
ing and Merlingo in the country
there should be plenty of Hawaiian
breds to send to the races in two or
three years.

YOUNG AUSTRALIANS
TO TOUR AMERICA.

Word was received at San Francis
co recently from the Young Austral-
ian League that the club would leave
Fremantle, West Australia, on Au-
gust and would arrive at San Fran
cisco on September 15
This organization is similar to the
local Columbia Park Boys Club and
will make tour of this country SINH
lar to the Australian tour taken last
year by the Columbia Park Boys
Club. While the Columbia Park boys
is a purely local organization the
Young Australia League includes
boys from every state in Australia.
Cecil jeffrey, one of the charter
members of the league, will arrive
early in August to make the prelimin.
+ airy arrangements. Jeffrey is we'll
known throughout Australia as the
editor of the Western Australian
Trainer. The organizer of the league
is Jack J. Simons, who. will arrive
with forty members of the league
SimOns holds the same relative posi-
ton in Australia that Major S. Peix-
otto does in San Francisco. The
league will give entertainments and
band concerts to help defray the ex-
penses of the touT.N
The boys have been practicing base
ball in the antipodes and are anxious
to try their hand at the game with
the local school teams of their own
age. Besides baseball the league will
play the Columbia Park boys at field
ball, which the latter introduced into
this country after their tour.

ATHLETICS At
THE NEW SCHOOL

Athletics and sports will receive
considerable attention at the new
Honolulu School for Boys.
Principal Blackman believes that
there is more in training the body
through the medium of sports and IN
this way developing character and
manliness, than there is in book
learning. Blackman is a practical
sportsman, playing cricket and foot
ball, as well as other games. He is
perhaps the only principal in Homo
lulu who is still in the game
The new school will take up Asso-
citation football, in introducing and
popularizing which in Honolulu no
one has done more than Mr.. Black
man.
A diamond will be laid out on the
campus and there will also be run
ming and cycling track, tennis courts
and a swimming tank at the school.
A well-equipped gymnasium is also
being planned.
The boys of the new school will be
given plenty of open-air exercise, the
Palolo and Waialae valleys affording
! excellent tramping grounds, while the
sea, with it's manifold attractions, IS
but a short way from the school

Wolgast, according to the press re-
ports received by mail today, won all
the way from Owen Moran. The end
came in the thirteenth round. Moran
tried to stop Wolgasts rush with a
swift uppercut, and failed Back went
Moran to the confines of the ring, the
ropes bending beneath his weight as
Wolglst drove his gloves against body
and face The body blows did the
trick Moran gaped like a chicken
athirst for water and seemed to stop
fighting. Then suddenly Wolgast let
so a volley of overland lefts. Each
blow crashed against temple or chin,
and still gaping, the battered Britisher
dropped to the floor and was counted
out
The champion began to win at the
start and increased his lead until the

end. Inch for inch and pound for
pound the boys measured and weighed
all right, but beyond that they had
nothing in common. Wolgast had the
air of a conqueror before a blow was
struck. Moran had a washed-out ap-
rearance.
So they fought. The champion was
a bundle of live wires. The other
acted as though rigid training had
taken the starch out of him.
Moran made a fair showing till
after the fifth round, when he tired
owing to the swiftness and ruggedness
OF his opponents attack.
Wolgast and his manager, Tom
Jones, won $4,000 over the victory
and the champion is now matched to
fight twenty-rounds with Freddie

A CHALLENGE

The following letter is intended to
explain itself. 1t is to be hoped that
it does:
Sporting Editor, Hawaiian Star:
Some Kaawa hot air put in the Ad-
vertiser that they were the champions
Of the windward side Of Oahu but they
fool themselves by thinking or saying
so.
Not long ago the Kaawa nine came
to play the Kahuku bunch and were
badly beaten by the latter, the score
being 1876.
The Kahukus were willing to play
them again on their own diamond the
very next Sunday but during the week
the Kaawas backed out saying that
the Kahukus are to good for them.
Another thing they had in the Adj
vertiser was that they did not play the
Waialaes because that nine was too
small for them. Yes, Waialaes are
small but they can put it all over the
Kaawas when it comes to'playing Ball

so by the scantest of margins and it
is little worse than an even bet that
the Chinese will check their victorious
career tomorrow.
The game will be called at p, m,
tomorrow, an arrangement which will
practically give everybody a chance
to so out and see it.
The presence of the Keio has stimu.
lated interest in baseball and has
shown that local ball lovers are just
as keen about good ball as they ever
were.
The Keios came here with a big
reputation and the showing made
against them by the Native Sons and
Portuguese mines indicated that the
standard Of baseball played here is
gradually increasing in quality.

share of rowing honors.

Old Anton Kaoo, champion 1ong-dis-
lance runner and walker of the Terri
tory, wants substantial guarantee be-
fore he will again contract to run on
the track. No one can blame the vet
eran. He is the drawing card, of that
there is no doubt. Also, he is getting
well on in years and is far past the
point where the majority of pedes-
TRANS quit the game and look around
for a less arduous method of earning
poi and fish. In the natural order Of
events, Kaoo can't run many more
races and every one he completes in
takes a certain amount OF time off his
life. No wonder, then that he wants
something worth while in sight before
again getting into action in public.
Kaoo has run many races and has
reaped but little financial return from
them He has been bamboozled and
misled as to terms, and when he has
won has more than once been given
the worst Of the count. Kaoo is a
game and wonderful runner and has
been a valuable advertisement to Ha-
waii. He deserves all he can get out
of the last races Of his career

gave cricket a much-needed advertise

Young George Ingals, the lightweight
boxer who twice defeated Ben de
Mello, to whom he was giving almost
two stone of weight, is only seventeen
years old, but is developing rapidly,
and gives promise of becoming a good
man. He has two things to learn,
however. One is to give away weight
only when it is absolutely necessary
for him to do so in order to obtain
good match, and the other is to keep
in his class. Ingals is as willing as
they make them, but is little more
than a beginner at the game. To talk
, of matching him with Johnny McCar-
thy is absurd. Such a proceeding
would be an outrage and an imposition
on the local public. Ingals may, after
obtaining considerable more ring ex-
perience and after having been hand
led by men who know the game and
can teach him something, be able to
make a good showing against man
of McCarthys caliber, but if the pro-
posed match were to be made at pres
ent, the ending would be short, sharp
and sad.
