BY HARRY GILMORE.

RUST the other day a fighter, young
in the game. but with earmarks
-. of a Conner, came to me and
wanted to know what l thought
about his chances in the fighting game.
| had seen him in action before and
was impressed by what he had done.
He had appeared in a few bouts, UNI
important so far as ring history goes,
and there was one handicap which was
evident. in his work. That was lack
of proper condition.
The young fellow of whom | speak
probably never will get anywhere in
the game. for the simple reason that
he has not the ambition and is UNI
willing to train properly for tights:
There has been many another young
ster who has had the same weakness,
but those fighters are the modern ones,
not the ones who fought as we fought
when | was young in the game.
"Soft" for Modern Boxers.
Why. when you think of it. the fight
ers today have a soft" time of it
when compared to those who were
DllIl1HS ABOUT three uSCetdSfS-s as -
lows like Jack, McAuliffe, Jack Demp-
sey. George F'ulljames and lot of
others | might mention. That was
when we battled with bare knuekles,
and when a fellow landed it showed a
furrow as evidence that it was

When we matched for a battle then
it wasn't with those padded mitts, and
it wasn't for a limited number OF
rounds, either 1t was always to a
finish, and tighter knew that he had
to be in condition to withstand the
grueling that was sure to result
Training then wasn't any play, and
any one who was anything in the game
knew that it was work that had to: be
done. Now a fighter will work just so
much and tell You he is in good enough
shape to go at his top speed for SIX

ISLE PLAYERS THE FINISHING TOUCHES

land her word is law If she makes a
suggestion about a pony's gear, or, in
fact, about any detail of the game, it
is usually followed, and usually brings
good results.
The first game of the interisland
tournament is scheduled for the Goth
of this, month, when Maui and Oahu
VIII come together. The Maui ponies
are expected there in a few days. as
they are to-, have a full week at Mo-
analua in which to get acclimated and
to recover from the effects of their
ocean trip. The four men who will
carry the eolors of the Valley Isle are
Arthur Collins. Harold Rice, Frank
Baldwin and David Fleming. With the
exception of Collins, all are veterans
of the game, and they, like the Oahu
players, can be. counted on to do their
best in a tight match. .
Practise for the locals and the Cav
airy continues regularly at Moanalua,
where the army squad is camped Yes
terday afternoon the Oahu Blues got
together in better shape than they have
for some days, and tore through the
strongest opposition that could be put
against them to the tune of IL to 2.
Men and mounts showed a dash and
snap that was very gratifying.

GRIFFITHS PUTS
GINGER into
SENATORS
Washington Has Never Before
Played Such Ball as Is
Being Shown Now
Ry TOMMY CLARK.

Washington is the sensation of the
American league this season. Do you
understand? If so, you have some
thing on the great majority of base
BAH followers, who always have been
accustomed TO look deep in the second
division for the percentage of the
Washingtonians And the good folks
in Washington are astonished simply
wondering If it can be true. They
fear it's a dream.
Clark Griffith has put new life into
the Senatorial aggregation. He has
put in his own savings into the club
and has instilled new brand of gin
ger in his team, new at least for Wash
ington. In other years the Washing
ton team has gone on the field merely
for the formality of playing the SEIZED
uled game, apparently convinced that
it had only an outside chance TO win.
But Griffith's 1912 club is cocky one
that goes into the combat with the be-
lief that victory will result or the
other fellow will have some battle on
their hands. 1t is team spirit, the
Washington baseball critics say.
Griffith has been fortunate in his
pitching. Walter Johnson never has
shown to better advantage than he has
this season, and Groom has pitched
great ball in the games he has en-
tered.
Chick" Gandil, whom Grifith re-
Gently purchased from Montreal, has
made good. He has been putting up a
grand game at the initial sack and
hitting the ball hard. Clyde Milan, the
Senators star outffeIder, is also play
ing sensational fielding game, run
ming the bases well and walloping the
ball hard. 3
Foster at third is the sensation of
the team and works in great style with
George Mcbride, the shortstop and
captain of the clug. Fosters stick
work also has done much in keeping
the WASHINGTON team high in the race
and Germany. Sehaefer looks better
than ever before in his long and event
full baseball career Schaefer has Teen
hitting well, his long wallops being
potent factor in the Washington of
Tense.
In looking at the high standing of
Grifith's men and considering the low
~ position Washington usually has
held the question naturally arises:
Will the club blow? Has the team the
class to keep up the present pace?
Washington is admiring won
dering.

A Strenuous Day.
Here's an example of the training
routine used to go through in prep

Rise at ) o'clock in the morning and
drink sherry and egg. Then out for
breakfast consisting of outmeal and a
chop. Then a rest until 10 O'Clock,
when a run and walk of eight or ten
miles was taken. This was followed
by a rubdoWn. and then came dinner,

chops If the weight was easy a little
ale was allowed with the dinner Then
came another rest until o'clock when
boxing. bag punching, and work with
the gymnasium apparatus was in

for the sparring After this came sup
per at 6 O'Clock, and $3.50 was bedtime.
If the fight was to be held at night,
although most of them were decided

weight that fighter could do. and as
a result he had to train off every ounce

THERE'S To BE A GREAT
sporting popularity contest this month.
with polo and tennis the contestants.
Unfortunately the interisland cham
pionships I'm both events will conflict
for two days during the latter part of
the month, and loyal followers OF the
two sports will have to miss one to
see the other. It's likely that the ten
mis- tournament will be the loser, for
there will be more than a week of
: court work, bat only three days of
polo.
Both tournaments promise to be the
greatest ever held in Hawaii, and fol-
lowers OF the two sports are working
up respectable amount OF excite
ment in advance 1t looks as though
that old reliable third party, the Cen
eral Public, would come out in force
and forget its dignity long enough to
cheer its favorites TO victory.
Honolulu crowds are not exactly
what one could call demonstratiye.
Witness, for instance, the recent mill
tary tournament at Kapiolani Park,
where nearly $4,000 people stood open
mouthed and saw the most sensational
exhibition of horsemanship ever given
In the Islands, without voicing a cheer
or Mountaineering battery of applause.
But IL the signs are read Alright, the
coming tournaments will have em
going" Already there's a lot of polo
talk, and both Oahu and the Cavalry
are sure of some loud lunged support
ers. Maui will be up against Il for
volume OF sound, but 1t will have some
strong supporters on the field at that,
and In the Maui Cavalry game there
are sure to be lot OF unattached en-
thusiasts who will see that the SOL
dlers dent make all the noise.

the termination of periods will be in
force for the first time In match play.

with interest. Heretofore, under the
code of the Polo Association, MAY has

and this often led to dissatisfaction,
especially when time was up just as
the ball was threatening a goal. 1t
made il hard for the.timers, and heart
breaking for the players, to have the
period over with the ball item Yards
away from the posts and travelling bet
tween them.
Under the neg rules. switch were
brought out here by the recentlylres
burned Army players, the ball con

until it either goes over the end line,
through the goal or touches or passes
over a sideboard. Excess time is de-
Quoted from the final period.
Under the English rules, the period
did not end until the ball went out of
bounds, and this often led to several
minutes of excess time. The clause
which mentions the ball hitting the
boards, however. should make overtime

The change is boon to the timekeep-
er, who felt like a convicted criminal
