BOXERS
: Want EASY
Marks

Are our star boxers becoming what
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt so aptly
dubbed 'mOIlycoddles" asked an old
time sportsman, who used to be well
up in California ring affairs, during a
tanning bee last night, and before any
one had chance to answer the ques-
ton the old boy was on the job him.
self
Il remember" said the veteran.
when we used to have real fighters
the kind that considered glory as
well as the ~lollars-but that sort
seems to- have become extinct.
1T does not take an old man to
recall the great feats OF John l.. Sui
livan when he was in his prime. Here
was the beau ideal of fighting men.
When he was good he was not look
ing around for every loose dollar and
trying to hook up in four-round exhl-
hitions Oh, yes corrected the vet
eran; pardon me, John did engage in
four-round contests, but they were
different kind Of four-round bouts
from the sort our modern Bersecks
seek. Yes, my boy, old Sullivan tour
ed the country in series of four
round bouts, but if anyone managed to
stick four rounds with John, the Bos-
ton Strong Boy, as he was then
known, used to slip such an opponent
$1,000.
And if John knocked out such an
opponent he did not get cent for it
merely the glory. And in a six
months tour of the United States the
Only John H. had to pay that $1,000
only once, and that was to Tug Will
son, an Englishman.
And there was little George Dixon
and Joe Walcott. They used to make
regular tours of the country, meeting
all corners and giving a big sum to
anyone who could stave them off for
four rounds.
But how about our modern school?
When they get in the limelight all they
ask is a chunk of money to box some
one four rounds. The modern boxer
is too much of dilletante," concluded
the veteran. And they do not get
the money-the only thing they seem
to be after Sullivan earned and spent
several fortunes. So did Dixon. To
my way OF looking at it, many OF our
modern boxers would look better SUI
perintending a ribbon counter than
espousing the once noble art Of self
defense.

STARS GOING

Summers, Schmidt, Delehanty, Jones
and O'Leary-the heroes of Detroit's
1909 championship team. They have
passed out of the big whirl soon to
become only a memory in the kaleido-
scopic history of baseball. Three
years ago these five players were in
the zenith of their careers as big
league baseball players.
In the 1909 pennant fight Eddie
Summers was heTdiGed as the great
"knuckle" ball artist; Charlie Schmidt
was the iron man behind the bat, and
James Delehanty was the hard hit
ting second baseman. Little Charley
OLeary, beloved by the fans. had been
replaced by Bush, but Charlie was
called the best utility infielder in the
business.
Now they have all gone-too slow
for the big race. Younger and bright
er stars have replaced them. Such is
the way of baseball.
Eddie Summers injured his pitching
arm and his career is about closed so
far as the big show goes. Detroit sent
him to Providence several weeks ago,
but he was of no use to that club.
Charlie OIeary took the manager
ship of the indianapolis club in the
American Association, but he lost that
Job a few weeks ago because his club
was making a poor showing. Charlie
Schmidt is working in the receiving
department of the Providence club.
Delehanty has not picked his new job
as yet. Jones goes to Kansas City.

PIGSkIN WILL FLY
FOR TEN WEEKS
THIS FALL
Harvard, Yale and Other Big
Eastern Schools Plan for a
Long Season-New Playing
Rules To BE Tried, Out

Gridiron activities IN Eastern col
leges will be ushered in next month.
The playing season begins on Septem-
her 81 and ends on November 30, in
which period the pigskin oblate spher-
eic will he booted, pursued and other
wise man-handled by the ardent de-
voices of the chief college sport.
Aside from tie schedules there are
new rules for this year, rules when
are a pronouHeed- departure from the
various sets which have been tried
and found wanting for several years
back. The new code points to more of
q rushing game and by the same
token a game which will be" more
satisfactory in producing more scor-
ing. The coming season, therefore,
will be in way experimental. and
the battles, especially the early ones,
will be watched with additional in
terest. The whole season will be
terest for the new rules and for the
ability of coaches and players to make
the most of them.
Carlisle First.
The various colleges, big and little,
have departed but slightly from Gus
tom in arranging their schedules. The
Indians, as usual. will be first, in the
field, and few days later Yale and
Cornell will get under way. Harvard
Princeton, PennE vlvania. LAFAYETTE
and Dartmouth open on the Saturday
following the Wednesday on which
Yale starts, and Brown on October 2
One of the welcome changes from last
year is that the Army-Navy game will
be played week later than the Har-
vard-Yale contest Last year the two
games confiicted.
Harvard and Yale meet in New
Haven this year. November % being
the date. Vale and Princeton came to-
gether in Princeton on November 16,
Harvard and the Tigers at Can't ridge
Oh November 2. Pennsylvania and
Michigan in Philadelphia on Nover1-
Der 8, and Pennsylvania and Cornell
in Philadelphia on Thanksgiving Day
as usual. AS THANKSGIVING Day does
not come until November %, the c37'-
paign will be what i: known as a long
season, the schedule covering ten
weeks. Coaches relish that sort Of a
season more than the short ones for
the length Of time it gives them to de-
velop and polish the material up to
! the highest state possible.

RETURN GAME MAY Be PLAYED

The army officers who went down
to glorious defeat in the red.hot ball
rame played against the University
Cub last Saturday, are just aching
for another chance to show what they
can do on the diamond. They con-
tend, and with some justice. that a

the relative merits of the two teams,
and that they are entitled to a re-
turn match. :.s.s
There is no disposition on the part

Portuguese FILE
PROTEST OVER !.
DECISION .

AS expected, the Portuguese have
protested the ball game which they
lost to the Stars Sunday last by
margin Of one run. Exception Is taken
to the fact that Umpire Ralph appar-
emily reversed his decision at the
plate, when he first made the safety
signal of extending both hands palm
downward, and then, after a roar from
the entire Star team, called Dick Jo-
seph out. Ralph contends that he
called the man out from the. first, but
as everyone on the field saw him
make the well-established gesture de-
noting that a runner is safe, this ex-
PLANTATION is not swallowed by the p.
A. Cs.
The protest, signed by Captain FIRE.
itas, is as follows: -..... .
Honolulu, August 26, 1912.
Hon. Chas. F.. Chillingworth, Presi-
dent, Oahu Baseball League, City.
Dear Sir:-On behalf of the Portu-
guese Athletic Club baseball team,
hereby make protest to the final deci-
sion as rendered by Umpire Ralph dur
ing the seventh inning of the game
played between the Stars and P. A. T..
on Sunday, August 25, 1912.
My protest is based on the follow
ing: During the seventh inning Frank
Joseph was declared safe by the UNI
pire at the home plate, the said umpire
deciding the man safe by a motion
invariably used by umpires of the Oahu
Baseball League when making such
decisions, viz: both hands palm down,
and then reversing his decision con-
trary to Spalding Rule SO, which reads
as follows:
There shall be no appeal from any
decision of either umpire on the
ground that he was not correct in his
conclusions as to whether batted ball
was fair or foul, base runner safe
or out, a pitched ball strike or ball,
or On any other play involving accu-
racy of judgment, and no decision rem
dered by him shall be reversed, ex-
cept that he be convinced that it is
in violation of one of these rules. The
captain shall alone have the right to
protest against a decision and seek
it's reversal on a claim that 1t is in
conflict with a section of these rules.
In case the captain does seek re-
versaI of a decision based solely on a
point of rules, the umpire making the
decision shall, if he is in doubt, ask
his associate for information before
acting on the captains appeal. Under
no circumstances shall either umpire
criticize or interfere with decision
unless asked to do so by his associ-
ate"

In an interview published in a Lon
don sporting journal, which has just
reached this side, Bombardier Wells,
the English heavyweight champion,
declares that, barring Palzer, there Is
no first-class white heavyweight in
this country. He says that when he
returns here in the fall he intends to
go down the line, whipping McCarty,
Stewart and others in rotation. Wells
also declares that Porky Flynn, the
Boston heavyweight, would have a
chance to beat Palzer on points in
ten-round bout"

GERMAN EMPEROR TO HEAR
RESULTS OF THE LABOR
DAY RACE MEETING

Echoes OF the LABOR Day race meet
Ing will reach Berlin, for, indirectly
the Kaiser has his eye on the doings
planned for KapioIani Park. This de-
yeloped yesterday, when the card OF
Mr.. Georg Karl Stein Of this city was
brought to Chairman r. w. ShingIe
during meeting Of the racing com
mittee.
Mr.. Stein explained that his brother
was lieutenant i'm the German army
and was connected with the manage
ment OF the imperial stables. He ask
ed permission to take pictures OF the
Hawaiian-bred horses and the polo
ponies, to forward to his brother in
Germany, so that the types might be
carefully studied, together with such
information as Mr.. Stein should send.
Naturally, the permission was readily
granted, and Mr. Stein will be afford
ed every opportunity to acquaint VIII
helm H. with the ms and outs Of Ha-
waiian racing.
The race program was carefully
gone over by the committee yesterday
afternoon, and after two hours of
strenuous talk, the list of events was
finally decided on and, the officials of
the meet chosen. There will be fif-
teen races In all, but as two Of these
are harness events, probably twenty
or more actual finishes will be seen.
To run off card Of this length 1t will
be necessary to start the first race at
10 in the morning, and from that hour
until dusk there should be plenty OF
excitement and entertainment for low
ers OF clean sport. The committee is
figuring on banner crowd, and, from
the turnout last Fourth of July, when
the races were little advertised and
10 accommodation made for the spec
tators, 1t looks az though their esti-
mates were conservative, and that
from twenty to thirty thousand people
may be expected on the grounds dur
ing the day. - So.
The grandstand an6 judges stand
arc now in course of construction, and
the former, when completed, will &C.
commodate 5000, every seat having a
clear and unobstructed view Of the
track Tor the entire distance. II is
planned TO have $500 seats at 81 and
500 at SO cents each Auto parking
spaces. OF which there viii be 100 in
a.seonsasanting sp0sitfon, with 30 Atst 50
per.
two feature races which should
prove very Interesting are for army
officers and for the mounted police.
The conditions Of the former are be-
ing arranged by the Schofield Bar
racks officers, five of whom have
promised to enter. The distance has
not yet been announced. The horse
cops will travel the quarter, and a
suitable cash prize will be put up for
the winner. -
Another race that Is attracting lot
OF attention IL the quarter. for polo
ponies, gehtlhmeh riders up. There
are seven entries already, with the
prospect or one or two more before
post time. Harold Rice is coming all
the way from Maui to ride, and will
match his skill as booter against
members OF the local club.
Ii was decided to make one race
out OF the mile for Hawaiian breds
and the mile free for all, as 1t SEEM
ed unlikely that either OF these races
would fill. The purse for this event
was raised to $500, and the race rails
ed to the dignity of a feature, and
called the Labor Day Sweepstake.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1912-08-28

There are four certain starters, and
il looks like classy contest.
One point that was given lot Of
attention in yesterdays meeting was
that OF promptitude. There will be
no unnecessary drags, If several hus-
thing gentlemen who have been ap-
pointed to speed things up have their
say. The regulation 90 minutes be-
tween races will be attempted, and
the chances are that this schedule
will be lived up to. In keeping things
on the move Clerk of the Course Chas
Chillingworth will be assisted by two
paddock judges, X. w. Shingie and
Arthur Rice.
There will be one Maui entry III

waiian bred Jubilee having arrived
