GEORGE INGLE
MAY RETURN

George IngIe, the clever lightweight
boxer, who left Hilo for the Coast
some time ago, writes to his friend
Tommy Lane that he has been work,
ing steadily at his trade in San Fran
cisco ever since his arrival.
He states that if there is any show
of getting a decent match here he is
willing to take q chance and come
down again.. To use his own words
he is ready, willing and able to give
or take FIVE pounds and fight any 133
pound man in the Territory"
Ingle showed good form while here
He won a couple of decisions fror
Ben de Mello and beat a number OF
other boxers of all sizes. His only
defeat was at the hands of Kupa who
outweighed him forty pounds.

IT'S AUSTRALIA OR PICK AND
SHOVEL FOR FRISCO slim"

George Gilmore expects to 20 to
Australia after his coming contest
with Ben de Mello. He regards sgd.
ney as the pugillsts' mecca and has
more than an inkling that he can
make good down under"
Gilmore insists that the form he
showed against Jim Hoao was not
within striking distance of his real
form. He states that he was matched
at short notice and accordingly didn't
have time to get into proper condition
What work he did do, ne maintains,
did him more harm than good.
The San franciscan is leaving no
stone unturned to get into the best
possible shape for his coming engage
ment. If he wins he will go south
with feather of a bright hue in his
cap. If he is decisively beaten, how
ever, it will be Georges unpleasant
fate to juggle with pick and shovel in
stead of with the Spalding sleep-pro-
ducers. And the latter contingency is
particularly undesirable to one of Gil
more's peculiar temperament.
The sporting public has learned
with surprise that Gilmore has come
close to $50 pounds with so little diff
ficulty. He has been generally cred
tied with being a much heavier man.
He is a big-boned fellow, however, and
has the weight distributed where it
will do the most good.
Trier of the Marine Corps is acting
as sparring partner for Gilmore and is
developing into quite slashing boxer
He and Willer of Fort Shafter are
matched to box a six-round prelimi
nary on the night of the Gilmore-de

BOAT CLUB
AT WORK ON PLANS
FOR BANNER SEASON

The work Of dredging out the space
in front of the Myrtle boathouse will,
it is expected, be finished by Sunday.
The bottom will be dredged from
the deep water channel right up to the
boathouse. This will give a space ten
feet deep and fifty feet wide for swim
ming and other purposes.
The work is being done by the
Standard American Dredging Company
and the expense is being betrayed by
the members of the club.
In the past the Myrtle members
have been greatly handicapped in their
natatorial exercises by the shallow.
ness of the water in front of their
boathouse. In few days this state
of affairs will be a thing of the past
and a new epoch in the history of the
clubs aquatics will be started.
1t is intended to erect a trapeze AMI
springboard and to have a commod
ious pontoon anchored off the boat
house for the benefit Of bathers.

THE OLD FIGHTER.

CSS Damon Runyon.)
Well, l sat in the So-Forth Club last
night, with the prominent folks
of the day;
A mile of shirt,fronts walling the
ring, and policemen showing the
way;
And / saw two fellows with terrible
names as they paved through
ten-round go,
And danced and pranced, but never
blow that would make a dent in
the snow
Well, my mind went back to a distant
day, and a fight that 1 barely
When l beat old Mulligatawney Red
In hundred rounds and was nearly
dead
When l took my title jump ahead
OF a backwoods sheriff's gun!
1 saw their managers standing around,
and heard them in loud debate
Sixteen thousand bucks in house,
and a row over three pounds
weight!
And l thought of the twenty-five
rounds day that fought in the
training shed
When my partners pounded their
knuckles raw on my ribs and my
face and my head
My mind went back to that bitter
morn, with the wind as cold as
When beat Bill Virgins, the Eng
fish champ,
For a purse the size of a postage
stamp
And between the rounds we could
hear the tramp
OF the posse closing in!
felt of their padded floors and ropes,
and the cushioned chairs and all,
And my mind went back to that shoe
deep mud that'd cut like glass
when we'd fall;
And l heard the "Ohs" and "Ahs" of
the crowd when a speckle of
blood showed clear
And my mind went back to a sultry
day when l lost nine teeth and
an ear!
My mind roamed back to that blister
ing day when my face was cut
to a slaw,
On a barge in sight of the Jersey
shore,
When the deck was slippery with
most of my gore,
And I kept my title, but not much
more
One leap ahead of the law!
They went ten rounds careful, and g
memory came to me
or a fight I started in Arkansaw and
ended in Tennessee.
And they'd kick on tap an inch toe
low and their seconds would
clamor foul
Sixteen thousand bucks in the house
and wasting their time to howl!
And my mind went back to the Giant
Mulqueen, and fight I'd never
won
But the night closed in so cold ant
raw
! wrestled him down and nobody saw
That planted my boot on the tip o
his Jaw
And took my title and run!
