JACKSON WOULD
PROMOTE RACES
King and Kaoo to Be Matched
and Fights Will Be
Arranged.

NOW Iudl Nigel JACKSON is Ill Jle
promoting game, he is going to Try
the landing of running races IS
we'll Il boxing bouts, and received
word from Soldier King yesterday
that he would be back in Hawaii
within a short time and wanted a
| go at KaOO over the full Marathon
distance of 2G miles 3S5 yards, thus
giving the old Waialua Horse a show
at his favorite distance.
King says he has been in the hos
pital since he returned to the Coast,
for an operation, and has not done
any running since his race here for
fifteen miles, when he beat Kaoo.
He will be out of the army this
month and plans to come to Homo
lulu-perhaps to settle, as he likes
the city and people.
Jackson says he wants to promote
a race between the two men for the
| Marathon distance, and he plans to
| have the match the latter part of
February, if possible.
The other time these two runners
came together there were hundreds
present to see the race, and if this
second event should be arranged a
| larger crowd than before will be
present, as most believe that the Ha-
Waiian can win from the soldier over
the full distance.
In the bouts held at the Asahi
Theater on the evening of December
20, Jackson came out on the right
side, and so he plans to pull Off some
more boxing stunts during the latter
part of the present month or the
early part of February.
Joe McGurn left for the Coast this
morning on the Wilhelmina. While
on the Coast he will take on Rufus
Williams. He will return to Homo.
lulu in months time McGurn
has fought five times during his stay
here and has won each fight, the
longest one being with Mccullough
at Leilehua two months ago, which
went seven rounds.
joe is in condition all the time,
and will be ready to enter the ring
almost as soon as he lands back here
from San Francisco.
jim Hoao wants another try at
the Coast lad and believes that he
can win out i'll a second fight with
the lrishman, saying that he was
not in the best of condition at the
fight last month.
Fink and Harding will probably
be matched by Jackson for the COM
ing events, and other preliminaries
will be arranged which will give al
good card
Bauersocks of the cavalry hasl
dropped back into second place since
Fink learned to fight and knocked
him out last month, and he will not
appear i'll the ring again in first
class go before Honolulu sports, prob
ably, He could fight with Fink
when the latter was green at the
game, but even then never scored a |
Knockout. With Fink a little wise,
Bauersocks did not last at all at
their meeting in December.
An eX-champion middleWeight oil
Australia, Lewis, who has been fight |
ing in Hongkcng and Manila during
the past months, is expected in Ho-
nolulu soon, and will enter the fight !
game here If he arrives soon hej
will probably be matched with Hoao
for the series of bouts which Jackson
is planning now.
