SATURDAY, FIGHTS were NO. GOOD;
FANS AND FIGHTERS DISGUISED
SARCONI-DENT0N GO PROMISED WELL UNTIL FOUL
SMALL HOUSE PRESENT AND FIGHTERS SAY THEY
DID NOT RECEIVE MONEY 0FFERED-CURTANS FOR
JACKSON

The fight fans of Honolulu received
something OF a frost on Saturday
evening at the New Orpheum in the
card put on by Jackson and his part
ner for the delectation of those who
had gathered at the theatre.
One Good Bouts "a. .
The only bout Of the evening was
the one between Sarconi and Denton
and this was a good one until Sarconi
deliberately, it looked to the specta-
tors, fouled the man from Fort Ru-
ger and put him out Of business
Referee Nelson did not see the
blow, he says, and awarded the bout
to Sarconi because Denton, writhing
in agony, in his corner from the low
punch, could not fight longer.
When Denton was on the floor and
the refree was standing between him
and Sarconi, the latter deliberately
pushed the referee aside as Denton
tried to rise to his feet ana struck
him two Or three times in the back
and neck as he was trying to get TO
his corner.
This action of Sarconis was enough
to dsqualify him without regard to
the foul at all, had the referee known
his business.
Main Event Farce.
Then TO cap the climax the main
event of the evening, between Fink
and Harding was nearly as much Of
a farce as the one when these two
men met before under another pro-
moter
Harding was considerably lighter
than Fink. oven Fink's seconds allow
that the Marine was at least seven
pounds heavier than the man from
The artillery, and he was scared. II
is no disefedit to Harding that he
had al attack Of stage fright whcu
he met the man in the ring who put
him out in thirty seconds few weeks
ago.
Fink has hay-maker that a man
does not want to get up against more
than once but if Harding had kept
away from his man for the first round
and gone to the floor as much as pos
sible he would probably have gotten
his nerve in the second round and
have put up a scrap.
-Four times Fink knocked him down
in thai first and last round and the
last time he stayed down for keeps.
Did Not Pay.
And then Jackson pulled off the
stunt which has put him out of the
promoting game for keeps in Homo
lulu. He failed to pay the scrappers
the money he offered for purses in
each event
There was small house present
and there was not enough money TAX
en- in to cover expenses probably, but
that does not excuse a promoter. from
failing to pay his purses. .
II is chance that all must take
in the game, and they should be as
willing to dig up for deficiency in
the gate receipts as they should TO
put away in their pockets the money
made by having large house pres
ent.
Jackson cut down all his fighters,
on the plea that not enough money
bad been taken in to pay everything.
Fink, according to his own statement
was cut down one-half. and the others
each received cut in the amount
which was coming to them.
Even the man in the boX-office took
less than he was promised and the
ushers in the theatre, whose regular
pay is dollar and a half a perform
ance, received -four bits for their work
1t is true that they had but little to
do, but they put in the regular amount
Of time Just the same
Melnott- Herrigan.
The first scrap on was that be-
tween Melnott and Herrigan and last
ed less than two rounds. Herrigan
had the best Of the first round and
then in the second Melnott was put
out soon after the start by right
TO The jaw and left to the face.
Williams Stanley.
This bout was put on in place of
the Young Gans-Smmons go which
was scheduled, and ended in the sec
Ond round after Williams had chased
his man around the ring and hit him
when and whore he pleased.
Sareon- Denton.
This scrap was the real meat of the
evening and for the three rounds
which II lasted was certainly hum
mer.
Both men went into the game for
keeps from the start and although
Denton played to The gallery by al
lowing Sarconi 10 swing on his jaw
at will, II was a good fight,
in the first round The men mixed
II IN great shape and before the gong
had sounded the spectators had their
blood up IN seeing a real slugging
