SAN FRANCISCO, March 3d.
saw George Ingle last night. He is
a full-fedged lightweight now, and
his best fighting weight is 1873 pounds.
He is willing to meet any man in the
islands at this weight He is also
willing to meet de Mello again.
Ingle has improved wonderfully
since he was in the islands. He told
me that he was shortly going to the
islands under three months con-
tract with a local promoter. He may
travel by the S. S. Wilhelmina, Ieav-
ing here April 10.
Babe Picato, brother of the boxer
of that name who has done so we'll
in Australia, and who fought Hughie
Michigan three times for the light
weight championship of Australia,
boxes at from 11S to 122 pounds. He
is also willing to make a trip to the
islands.
Joe McGurn, who beat Jim Roao
in Honolulu a few years ago, is doing
bridge work near Sacramento.
/ have tried all the week to con-
meet with Young Togo and his man
ager, Eddie Robinson, in order to as
certain what his plans are with re-
gard to a trip to Hawaii. They have
been up in the mountains, however,
and have been unable to get in
touch with them.
Young Togo is billed to fight in
Oakland on April %. It will be ten
round go. do not think that he will
come to Hawaii unless guaranteed a
substantial sum.
There is another Jap boxer here,
Ujiro Watanabe, lightweight. He
has been making good with all com
ers in the four-round game,
Tommy Mcfarland brother OF
Packy, is fighting here in the rour-
round game He drew with Ingle
after four rounds on Friday night,
and at that Ingle's left hand was out
of commission at the time or he
would have whipped him.
The Running Game.
Jimmy Fitzgerald has arranged for
"a three-cornered race between him,
Longboat and myself to take place
some time in April If suitable to
the Indian we may run three races,
fifteen, twenty miles and the full
Marathon distance. want to get
the redskin in good race from San
Jose to San Francisco if l can.
l have seen Soldier King. He still
tries to make his hearers believe that
he has a chance with Jimmy F'itzger-
aid. No one pays any attention tc
him here.
Jimmy sends best wishes to all
friends. The running game is begin
ming to boom on the Coast. l hope
that the Haleiwa race will be revived
this year. 1t may develop some good
Hawaiian runners. 1 see no reason
why it should not.
If the Haleiwa race takes place this
summer / will take part in it anC
directly afterward will try myself ou
in a twenty-four-hour go-as-you-pIeasC
race. / want to set a record in the
latter event which will prove tha
feats of endurance can be performed
in Hawaii which would be a credit t.
the mainland.
Frayne VS.. Burns.
What was intended for a frame-up
engineered by ring of San francisco
gamblers, turned out to be one of The
hardest fights seen at Dreamland TO
many a moon,. when Frankie Burns
of Oakland and Johnny Frayne of Sal
Francisco hooked up for twenty
round bout last night.
Both men were great pals up to
short time ago, but turned out to b.
even greater enemies.
The fight marked the re-entry o
Referee Eddie Graney, the Littl
Blacksmith" in the fighting game. HI
made good with the public by declar
ing all bets off, basing his action OF
a well-founded rumor. Oakland none,
was also coming a great deal stronge
than circumstances warranted.
1t was amusing to note the Devil
dered expression on the faces of eacI
contestant when the referee calle
the bets off. Each thought that tn
other was handing out the double
Cross.
