The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-05-06

goes In Honolulu.
Willer started off with a dash
while Ingle went about his job as laz-
lily as a messenger boy taking an i'm
portant letter to the steamer. He
displayed a peculiar defense which,
while not particularly attractive, is
undoubtedly effective. Willer could
do nothing against it.
In the second Ingle chopped hard
one to the back of the neck and
planted stlff right on the kidneys.
Willer tried to rush Ingle but the
latter never gave an inch of ground
during the bout.
In the third round Ingle let himself
0ut a bit and showed something ap
preaching class. He swung hard to
the neck and landed just where he
wanted to. Willer clinched and Ingle
drove to the kidneys. Willer went
down for the count.
Ingle led with his left and landed
lightly on the face. Willer went into
clinch and Ingle jolted his right to
the kidneys in such earnest fashion
that the game soldier went down and
out.
Ingle is only eighteen years OF age
and if he keeps on in the way he is
going will be heard Of in connection
with much bigger game than Willer
before very long.
The Main Event.
Johnny Mccarthy got tremendous
hand on being introduced. Young
Caples was also we'll received.
Cap,es was handed a large bouquet
of red and white carnations, token
of good wishes from some fair ad-
mirer.
He made little speech in which he
stated that he had won the 145-pound
amateur championship of Buffalo and
had won all three of his professional
fights since then. He acknowledged
that his opponent had it on him in eX
perience but stated that he was going
to give the crowd the best he had.
This sportsmanlike little talk
evoked loud applause.
Cap'es forced matters in the first
round. He kept Mccarthy on the
move and landed a couple of times
on the neck. Mccarthy displayed a
well-night perfect defence, however,
and half a dozen dangerous blows
were deft y stopped by his glove.
Round two saw Caples still on the
aggressive. Mccarthy was biding his
time, however, and simply feeling his
man out Now and again he would
clip one to the wind or face but so
far had done no material damage.
In the third Caples was boring in
just the same as ever. He couldn't
get Mccarthy where he wanted him,
! however, for all his rushing.
The Irishman had to give way, how
ever, before Caples' attack and was
pretty busy defending himself in this
round.
In the fourth Caples shot his bot
He put every ounce of energy into his
attack but could make no impression
on Mccarthy who, toward the end of
the round, began to fight back with
a vim and soon had his man bleeding
from mouth and nose. Caples went to
hts corner at the close of the round
a very tired man.
The fifth saw Caples going Nc
Carthy kept right after him and al
though Caples made a desperate stand
against his attack the flesh, taxed to
the limit by the exertions of the open
ing round, could not respond to the
rally call.
In the sixth Caple5 was simply lead
ing a forlorn hope. He had no chance
of winning unless by means of a
lucky punch and it would have had to
have been a mighty lucky one at that.
Mccarthy gave him en- awful lacing
in this round but the Buffalo boy,
game as a pebble, kept on coming
back for more.
At the END of the sixth round Ca
pies seconds would not allow him to
continue longer and Caples walked
over to McCarthy's corner and shook
hands with him.
This was as it should have been.
Caples convinced the crowd that he
is good, game boxer and good
sportsman. He was simply out
clesged, that's all there was to It.
Had Caples gone about his work
more warily in the opening rounds he
might have lasted longer but it is ex-
tremely probable that Mccarthy was
fighting under wraps all the time and
could have ended the battle in shorter
order had he seen fit so to do.
Mccarthy made a good impression
on the fans He showed undoubted
class and preserved a quiet business
like demeanor in the ring which made
him many friends.
