FITZGERALD
STARTS At LAST

Jimmie Fitzgerald, the marathon
runner, who commenced negotiations
for a match in Honolulu last February
and who has since pulled out at least
twice, has at last come out pat with
an acceptance of all conditions and
will arrive on the Makura on June
goth. Yesterday, Soldier King re-
ceived a cable from Fitzgerald, in
response to which King arranged for
a ticket to be sent Fitzgerald. Will
he again disappoint the fans? That
remains to be seen. Fitzgerald is
great little runner but he will need TO
make a full explanation of why he
backed out of the plans made on his
behalf here.
King and Fitzgerald will probably
run on the Athletic Park on the night
of July 4th, though there is a proposal
to hold the race in the forenoon.
Whether held in the evening or
the morning matters little; there is
sure to be a good crowd on hand,
particularly if King downs Hubbenette
on the 18th prox. Hubbenette will
probably come in against Fitzgerald
and maybe Antoine Kaoo will also run
against them. If the full marathon
distance is chosen after the shorter
race between King and Fitzgerald it
is probable that Kaoo will enter, as
such a race would be big draw.
King is likely to have a busy time
between now and July 4th. There
is a proposal for King to run Nigel
jackson on Monday night next over
distance of ten miles, King conceding
Jackson a mile start, but nothing has
been definitely settled as yet. The
runners both have declared their
Willingness to run, but there seems
to be some doubts about the advisa-
bility of running at night. King has
also a race in sight against All Fook,
EtilO's five mile runner, which is talk
ed of for Decoration Day but if there
is to be anything doing the boys will
have to get busy, as the time is fast
approaching. King thinks he can beat
All Fook over the five-mile route and
Sam Hop is doing the matching of it.

is evident by the attendances at some
of the recent bouts, none of which,
however, can be classed with the con-
test which the middleweights are ex-
pected to provide.
Having got everything in line for
the bringing off of the contest Dick
Sullivan is now marking time, and
will leave the matter of a referee to
the lads themselves. Mike Patton will
be first choice in the public's mind
and Mike will probably be made an
offer. If he accepts the fans will be
certain that the two visitors will put
up a fair go or be ejrcted. One of
the new corners will train at the Or
pheum .theater and fans will be given
an opportunity of seeing him in ac-
ton, while the other will take up his
quarters at Fort Shafter and regale
the soldiers with his training opera.

BOXERS WILL ARRIVE ON FRIDAY

On Friday the Sierra will arrive
from the Coast and on board are the
two middleweight pugilists engaged
by Dick Sullivan to fight at the Or
pheum theater on the night OF June
10. They are Vic Hansen and Kid
George and the fans are anXiously
awaiting their arrival.
Boxing has been on the down grade
in Honolulu for the past year, but it
is expected that the enterprise shown
by Dick Sullivan will result in the
game being lifted from the mire and
placed on a high plane. From the
comment which one hears on all sides
it would seem a foregone conclusion
that the Orpheum theater will be
packed when these two men don the
mitts, and that if they make good
the fans will continue their support.

The Evening Telegram feels that
a good percentage OF young men
will make the section more inter-
esting and we are glad to welcome
both old and young to our midst.

sire to arrange occasional outings
by driving over to the club for a
meal and to be become acquainted
with the northern people and others
who are members of the Club.
According to the plans now under
way, it is the prediction of the
Evening Telegram that Lakeland
Highlands will, during the next five
years become an ideal community
and resort, which will attract many
hundred tourists TO this section of
Florida.
This section of Florida has not
been fully appreciated and known
by the vast army of tourists who
visit the east coast OF Florida each
year and enjoy the luxurious hotel
ard pleasure accommodations which
have beer worked out by Mr.. Flag
Ter. Il has really been unfortunate
that our west coast railroads and
committees have not taken the same
interest in developing tirst-class
accommodations to attract the many
of visitors to this section
of Florida.
Many tourists know that the cli-

matte conditions in this section are
far superior to the east coast, and
they know that the commercial de-
relOpments are much greater. but
they will not come until they can
have proper accommodations.
The Evening Telegram believes
that there is nothing which can be
done to bring financial returns to
Polk county like the development of
high class hotels. resorts, amuse-
ments and system Of good roads
suitable for automobiling through
out the county.
The Evening Telegram knows 1t
to be a fact that the first thing
northern people OF means ask con-
corning this section is what kind of
hotel Accommodations have you. and
what kind Of roads have you for au-
tomobiling, and until We are able to
offer attractions this way we cannot
hope to secure the wealth, which Is
pouring into the other sections of
the state from northern people.

WHAT CURES ECZEMA?

We have had so many inquiries
lately regarding Eczema and other
skin diseases, that we are glad to
make our answer public. After care
full investigation we have found that
q simple wash of Oil Of Wintergreen,
as compounded in D. d. D., can be re-
lied upon. We would not make this
statement to our patrons, friends and
neighbors unless we were sure or it
and although there are many so-called
Eczema remedies sold, we ourselves
unhesitatingiy recommend D. D. D.
Prescription.
Because-We know that II gives in
slant relief to that torturing Itch.
Because-D. D. d. starts the cure at
the foundation of the trouble.
Because-It cleanses, soothes and
heals the skin.
Because-It enables Nature to repair
the ravages of the disease.
Because-The records Of ten years
of complete cures of thousands of the
most serious cases show that d. D. d.
is today recognized as the absolutely
reliable Eczema cure.
