THE WALL CUP
MATCH DELAYED

The shriners have a deal to answer
for in the way of dislocating arrange
ments made prior to their arrival, and
now the news is announced that owing
to the festivities occasioned by the
Elks' carnival and the shriners' visit
the date for the Wall cup has again
to be postponed. C. G. Bockus blam-
ed the weather again, but that excuse
does not prevail and he then trans
ferred the blame to the shriners.
The Wall cup competition will be
commenced on the Sth inst, if all
goes well in the meantime. Bockus
will get the boys together this after
noon, he says, and will complete all
the arrangements in good time. The
entry list will then be posted at the
Beretania Club.
It is expected that the e. o. Hall
cup competition will be further post
poned in consequence of the altera-
ton in the date of the Wall cup, and
instead of commencing on the 18th it
is probable that the Hall cup will be
commenced on the 22nd.

PROGRAM FOR
THE FIGHT FANS

With Fink and Armstrong battling
for the middleweight championship Of
Hawaii as the main attraction, Nigel
Jackson is enthusiastic over the pro
gram he has framed up for the night
of March 18th, not March 4th as pro
visionally set.
Jackson was bubbling over with in
formation last night upon his return
from Leilehua, and he gleefully ratified
off the list of matches he had clinched,
claiming that such card had never
Armstrong matched for the main
event, ten round bout, for the title
of middle-weight champion Arm
strong's showing in the battle with
Sullivan being the basis for his claim
to the title. Then Sarconi and Denton
are to mix matters some, and this
fight will give fans an opportunity of
seeing what sort of fighter is this
Denton, who comes from Manila with
a reputation ready-made.
Sarconi we know can go some and
it remains to be seen whether Denton
can hold the pace set by the bugler
who though usually winner, is not a
popular scrapper with the fans. Tom
de Mello, who has quite a name in the
Zig island, is to have a smack at E
West of Leilehua and Jackson de
clares that this is to be a fight. There
will be no sparring in this contest
for both men are out for revenge, hav.
got to hollis" on previous occasion,
At least that is the suggestion. Sim
mons of the Thetis and Young Cans,
as already announced, will meet in a
stiX-round bout, and from what we know
= of these two men this should be a
the program Kid Mellnot and Kid Ker-
rigan are to knock each other about
for four rounds, fighting at 1873 lbs
each
1t is to be hoped that the scales on
which these pugs are weighed will be
something like accurate; pound or
two doesn't matter a great deal, but
the weights were out further than
that at the last series-or certainly
seemed to be.
Jackson is now out on the hustle,
and having matched these men will
get along with the arrangements nee
essary to pull off the events. The
Asahi Theater will be the rendezvous
and March 18th the date.

SOCCER Ibis AFTERNOON.

The soccer match to be played this
afternoon on the Makiki ground be-
tween team of Honolulu players and
H. M. S. Kent, will be commenced at
4:3O o'clock, but the proposed rugby
game will not be played, as the cap
tain of the Kent decided against grant
ing permission to the men, to go
ashore. The soccer game should be
very interesting one and both play
ers and spectators alike will be treat
ed to an exposition of how the game
should be played.

SPOR T S
BASKETBALL
VICTORY FOR ''C''

The aspirations of the members of
"E" team in the Y. M. c. A. basketball
series were rudely shattered last night,
when the all-victorious &C" team came
through with the goods and downed
the aggregation captained by Nottage
1t was fine game, replete with ex-
citing moments, but CT" team was
fighting an uphill game almost from
the very start, though the first score
was notched by Nottage. Thence on
wards, however, &C" team had the
measure of the student brigade and
ultimately won by "a points to IA.
Championship honors now lie be-
tween &c" and "A" teams, for &C" IS
out of the running, having played the
full program, winning two and losing
two games. "E" started off badly by
losing to "a" 1922; then just brought
off a victory against "B" 1913. Against
I'D" the "E" team played its star game
and piled up S6 points while I'D" made
only 4, and it was after this match that
the stock of 'E" rose and the team
was acclaimed as possible champion.
But &c" successfully defended it's po-
sition and now has TO meet "a" and
win to make sure of the champion
ship. Should "a" defeat &C" the two
teams will have to play off for the
championship of the series, but on play
to-date, it does not seem likely that
"a will succeed IN downing &C.
For the purposes of comparison the
record of the two teams to-date is ap-
pended:
&C" team: Beat I'D" 1915; beat "B"
1916; Beat "E" 24-14; a total of 70
points to "a.
"a" team: Lost to "B" Ali; beat
'E" 1920; beat I'D" 24-14; a total of
as points to as. These figures indi-
cate that &c" has much the better
chance of winning.
The game between &c" and "E" was
rougher than usual, and there was
also more fouling than is usually the
case, Nottage being the worst offend
er. In the first half eight fouls were
given against "E" team and from
these fouls Honan scored six goals;
Honan also scored a goal from the
field Maby scored two and Mott one,
at half time. To that point ''E" had
scored seven, Marcallino netting three
goals, one from a foul, and Nottage
one goal. In the second half Marcal-
limo also scored three goals, one from
foul, and Nottage scored one. Civ
ing "E" a total of ID, while Honan
scored three goals and Maby two for
&C." bringing the total to "a points.

NOTES FROM THE COAST.

The mail from the Coast which
came in by the China yesterday,
brought a budget OF interesting sport
notes. The question of legalizing
boxing throughout the State of Cali
fornia is one that is attracting con-
siderable attention and it is generally
expected that the legislature will
amend the present bill so as to per-
NIT of twenty-round bouts.
So far as can be learned, the morals
committee is strictly in favor of CIV
ing the people of California just what
they want in the boxing line. Many

arguments we're brought to bear to
show the lawmakers where the citi-
zens in general and not merely a few
promoters, managers and boxers want
the twenty-round sport, with proper
restrictions so as to safeguard the
boxers from possible injury during
any contest
According to the present trend of
affairs, the morals committee is look
ing with great favor upon the twenty
round proposition. Several of the
members favor the limitation of bouts
to twenty rounds in certain districts
of the State where the people crave
this sort of sport. In the other dis
tricts where short round contests are
preferred, it will be left to the boards
of supervisors or the town trustees
to use their good judgment as to the
number of rounds.
But if the bill passes favorably,
the promoters will be made to walk a
chalk line when it comes to properly
equipping their rings and bringing into
use gloves of the regulation standard.
All rings probably will have to be
padded with three inches of boiler
felt and all boxers must wear seven
ounce gloves, properly inspected by
the police.

DRAG RIVER FOR AsHURsT.
Fail to Find Trace Of Missing PhiIa-
delphia Postmaster.

W E
Atlantic City, N. j., Feb. 6.-Detec-
tives and fishermen, working under
direction of Chief Of Police Woodruff,
dragged the Million Dollar pier with
out finding a trace of the body Of
Richard l.. Ashurst, the aged Philadel-
phia postmaster, who has been miss
ing since last Monday night. Starting
from the place where the missing
mans cane was found, the searchers
worked around both sides and off the
end OF the pier with grapples and long
poles. They reached every Granny In
the substructure of the pier where the
body might have been carried and
lodged by the tide.
Fear that the corpse might have
been drawn into big revolving wheels
Of one of the experimental wave mo
tors close to the spot where the cane
was found caused Chief Woodruff to
order a search Of every point of the
machinery that could be reached.
Working from q temporary staging
hung from the pier, q detective ex-
amined the ten ton wave motor wheels,
but could find no sign of the body,
which would probably have been
crushed had it been caught in the re-
volying cylinder.
