AS was to be expected. the after
math of the Wolgast-Rivers fight prov
ed almost as exciting as the finish Of
the mill itself, and for several days
there was a continual buzz Of specu--
lation and explanation.
Here is the follow" story of Harry
B. Smith, sporting editor of the San
Francisco Chronicle, in part:
All Los Angeles, or at least the
sporting element, has been spending
the day dissecting what happened.
what didn't happen and what might
have happened under other conditions
out at the Vernon arena Thursday
afternoon, when AID W0igast scored
that debatable knockout in the, closing
seconds of the thirteenth round. There
are as many opinions as men who
saw the fight, and their views are so
pronounced there is no way OF strik-
ing an average.
The question of whether the punch
that dropped Rivers was below the
belt, and therefore a foul, and the
other feature of whether Rivers was
counted out before the gong sounded
are the ones that have caused the
bulk of the argument.
Rivers didn't look to the writer.
when he was dropped, as If the punch
had fouled him. He was in pain, but
that might easily have come
from a body punch to the pit OF the
stomach. Men who couldn't possibly
have been sitting at the right angle
to see whether Rivers was fouled de-
clared that such was the case, which
shows how much you can depend
upon such testimony.
Billy Nolan was one on the specta-
tors on the right side of the ring to
see what was happening. and. while
Nolan thinks the blow might have
been low, he adds there was a chance
that he was mistaken.
Timekeepers DISAGREE.
AS to the time problem involved,
the official timekeeper and the men
who acted for the two fighters are
hopelessly at outs. Timekeeper Hard
er, who offieiated for the club, de-
clares that Rivers couldn't have been
down for the necessary ten seconds.
He explains that it is his custom ten.

Captain Norris and Mrs. Norris have
fallen in love with Hawaii during their
stay here, and Honolulu now has two

Il entered the Seafarer and sailed

for it has been one of the most en-
joyable trips l have ever made, at sea
or ashore. 1t has been my good for
tune to sail the Seafarer clear round

at many ports of beauty and attrac

the yacht ridden in a more favored
spot than this. We have enjoyed ev-

leaving with regrets, which are tenn

in the fifth inning. but the ball was
dropped and he got life. He was lucky
all thf gay through. He tried to steal
secon- and would have been an easy
out, but slid into the second sack
with his feet high and jolted Reeve
so severely the shortstop dropped the
ball and collected bunch of his

Barney also developed new freak
in throwing that baffled his opponents
and keptsthe umpires puzzled. 1t bpr-
dered on baIk. but he caught several
men off first. Being a southpaw, the
trick was not so very difficult. Fac
ing first but looking toward the batter,
he would raise his right foot and APP
pear to be throwing toward home
plate, but the ball. instead of travelling
in that direction, went like a shot to
first base. He didn't make a wild
throw on the trick. Tie J. A. C.'s pro-
tested loudly, but the umpires declin-
ed to declare it balk.

The old question of whether the
batter has right to remain in his box
and interfere when the catcher tries
to catch a runner stealing home,
bobbed up again in the seventh inning
of the j. A. C.-Star game yesterday.
Schnman, because of the batter's inter-
ference, failed to tag Walker. but UNI
pire Armstrong ruled that Walker was
out.

Bunts and
BOur1ders

Despite the fact that Barney Joy
lost his game yesterday, he must be
given credit for playing wonderful
game. He made one of the Stars two
points, cracking out a home run over
the right field fence on his first time
at bat.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1912-07-15

Though he proved mighty dangerous
to runners reaching first base, Joy was
weak in his throwing to second, and
two or three times permitted runner
to advance to third by throwing wild
to Reeve and sending the ball into
center Geld.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1912-07-15

Barney got very sore in the fifth
inning. when Madeiros was given a
base on balls. He. JOY kicked because
he thought the call should have been
a strike instead of fourth ball AS
matter of fact, the ball came over
just in that zone where it could be
called either way. and as the jumps
are not giving many corners, it was
call ball.

Madeiros caught Sumner off first
