FlCIENT.

Washington.-Since the enactment
OF the Curtis bill empowering the sec
retary OF the interior to modify and
rearrange specific payments to the
Reclamation Service, with a view OF
affording relief to needy settlers un.
der reclamation projects. steadily
increasing number of applications
have reached the department through
members Of Congress. The disposi.
tion. of these cases presents a serious
problem to the secretary. who has
thus far announced no definite pro-
cedure to govern this class OF cases.
From members who have taken
these matters up with the secretary's
office 1t is learned that 1t is not the
intention to grant wholesale and wide
spread relief under this act, and that
only upon an exceptionally strong
showing will isolated Individual cases
be granted relief. The department con-
strues the law to contemplate relief
Of communities where unfavorable
conditions prevented the raising Of a
crop. On some projects the late de-
livery Of water. or lack OF water
caused by repairs to bitches or canals,
are given as justifiable cases warrant.
ing the application Of the Curtis act.
Severe and unusual frosts or other un.
favorable climatic condition. whereby
the settler was prevented from real.
izing on the product Of his land. are
other worthy considerations emitting
relief.
The mere claim that a settler has
not money to meet his payments will
not Of itself be ground for relief. and
islolated cases must prove some fur.
ther claim in order to receive the ben.
efit Of the law.

INGLE WANTS TO FIGHT IN HONOLULU

George Ingle, the Hilo lightweight
boxer who was rently defeated by
Kupa, writes to the Sporting editor
Of The Hawaiian Star as follows:
81 would be willing to make 1875
pounds for Jimmy Fox whom, l hear,
is coming to Honolulu pretty soon
from San Francisco. l would not care
to do less than that weight. l still
hold the lightweight and feather
weight championships of the Territory
and if anyone disputes it l would be
glad to prove it in either case.
q don't mind giving a few pounds
in order to secure a match, but you
don't find me giving away any more
Jumps of weight like l did to Kupa.

HILTON GREAT.
GOLF PLAYER

II. II. Hilton, American and British
amateur champion, is anything but
novice at golf. Way back in 1891 he
first came into prominence on the
links when he was the runner-up in
the amateur championship of Eng
land The following year he was again
the runner-up.
In 1902 Hilton won the open cham
pionship of England, defeating the
best amateur and professional play
ers in the country Again in 1897 he
won this title There was but one
other amateur player who ever won
the open championship, and that was
John Ball, Jr., who took the title in
1890. Since that time it has invar-
iably been won by a professional.
Ball is still in the game and won the
amateur championship in 1910.
In 1896 Hilton was again runner
up in the amateur championship tour
nament of England, and he first
1 gained the title in 1900. He won it
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-10-04

again the following year. For ten
years then Hilton failed to win the
championship but he came back this
year and earned it by defeating Lar,
sen in the finals by score of up
to to play.
Jerome D. Travers, eX-champion Of
America, tried for the English cham
pionship in 1909, but he was beaten
in the match-play rounds. The title
was won that year by R. Maxwell
At Prestwick, Scotland, in a tour
nament that was won by Hilton this
year, Chick Evans, Jr, who was
beaten by Hilton in the recent cham
pionship was a competitor, and lost
to Bruce Pearce in the fifth round Of
the match play
Hilton's victories in the American
championship event, which was con
cluded last week, and the invitational
tourney, which came to a close
Wednesday, stamp him as the great
est amateur golfer in the world. He
proved beyond doubt his suprem-
acv over the players of this country
when he won the national title

RAPHAEL SAYS THAT MACON HAS
NO BUSINESS WITH OLYMPICS

There is a slight misunderstanding
as to just who will manage the visit
of the Olympic Clubs athletic team,
which is slated to come down here
next month.
The Athletic Park people and Hy-
man Raphael have been conducting
the negotiations with the Olympic
Club so far, and only yesterday the
latter received a cablegram from
Heitmuller, manager of the team,
which stated that it would be impos-
sible for the team to leave San
Francisco before November 4, and
requesting Raphael to cable if that
arrangement were satisfactory.
The mail yesterday brought copy
of the San Francisco Call, in which
appeared the following:
Cali arrangements have been prac-
tically completed. ]. H. Magoon, a
wealthy sportsman of Honolulu, ar
rived last week with the Honolulu
end of the deal all fixed up. The
terms which he put UP to Heitmuller
seemed to meet with his approval as
well as that of the directors of the
Olympic Club, so it's only a matter
of few days when the deal will be
put through"
Raphael called at The Star office
this morning and expressed his sur
prise that Magoon should have
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-10-04

81 know that l was foolish in fight
ing Kupa, but several people said that
l was scared of him, so l fought him
just to show them that they were mis-
taken. He weighed between 165 and
10 pounds and l weighed 12S pounds.
At that l should have beaten him if |
had been given a square deal.
81 want to get a match in Honolulu
so as to give the people there a
chance to see what l can do. Do you
think that a match with Sam Hop
would draw?
'If l can't get a fight in Honolulu
this month l shall leave for the Coast,
but would very much like to make an
appearance in a Honolulu ring before
go away"

Chronicle; After having driven

from Honolulu, having toured several

mixed himself up in the matter. He
did not even know that Magoon was
in San Francisco His idea is that
Magoon realizing that the projected
trip of the Olympics had received
much valuable advertising in Homo
lulu and would be money-maker for
the promoters, hurried to San Fran
cisco with the idea of poaching on
the preserves of the Athletic Park
people and side-tracking the attrac-
ton in favor of a syndicate of local
people who are planning to SHOW"
the Olympics at the league ball
grounds at Moiliili.

ing. "If Magoon wants to handle the
affair he is welcome to as far as
am concerned, and I will do all I can
to help him. 7 am chiefly interested
in having the Olympics come here for
the sake of the way it will boost
local sport At the same time I don't
feel like doing all the preliminary
work and then have som one else
