Then Dunkhorst followed up his
venom in such violent manner that
he broke his arm on Ruhlin's head in
an early round. 1t is said that If the
blow had landed anywhere near a vital
point Rubin would have been given a
quietus that no other fighter ever got.
It was piledriver, sure enough.
To demonstrate how Rubin was
externally pursued by jinx may be
cited the occasion of his being hit by
a street car in Cincinnati while walk
ing with Billy Madden. Madden es-
capped being hit, while Rubin was
knocked fiat by the car. He came so
close to being ground under the
wheels that his topcoat was covered
with mud caused by the car rubbing
against it. A week before that acct

In comparing him to Flynn, how

opponent for any heavy to stack up

But in falling short of the heavy
weight championship Rubin was just
as unfortunate as Flynn.

While Sailor Sharkey knocked out
the Akron puglilist in one round, the
latter was then a novice at the game.
That was in 1898
Two years later, however, Sharkey
lost to Rubin in a hard ifteenround
battle before the Coney Island Ath.

surely Sharkey's master in the ring,
Rubin defeated the sailor in London
again in 1902. 1t only required eleven
rounds for him to turn the trick on
that occasion.

Honolulu, Hawaii, Feb. %, 1912
Chairman, Games Committee, Hawaii
an Branch of the A. A. T., Honolulu,
Hawaii
Dear Sir-The Healani Yacht and
Boat Club hereby enters a protest to
the decision Of the referee in not al
lowing the time, 81 As seconds, made
by F. NJ Friessel, No. 12S, of the H. Y.
and B. c. in the low hurdles at the
recent A. A. IT,, to stand as a Hawaii
an A. A. U. record. The grounds for
the protest are as follows;
1. Not judge on the finishing line
saw Friessel hit the hurdle.
2. Three of the timers saw Coney,
No. 1O2, knock Friessers hurdle down
The timers were Hollinger, Chiffon
and Ayres.
3. The referee in giving his decis'
ion decided on the testimony of three
spectators who were standing near the
hurdle and not on that of the officials
and a dozen or more spectators who
saw Coney hit the hurdle.
This club would like to know what
authority the referee has to take the
word of spectators against officials
We would also like to know why al
the judges were stationed at the finish
instead of a Judge on each set of hur'
dies as required by the rules of the A.
A. U. governing championship meets
Respectfully,
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-03-01

Paul Super, referee at the recent
A. A. U. championship meet, has
acted on the protests filed by the
Healania Yacht and Boat Club in the
matters of the mile and the low hur-
dies races.
The Healanis claimed first place for
Coombs in the mile, alleging that
Meinecke, the winner, stepped on
Coombs when both we're running
neck and neck at the finish.
They also asked that the tire made
by Friessel in the hurdles, u As sec
onds, be allowed to stand as a record,
instead of being declared void by the
referee on the grounds that Friessel
knocked down one of the hurdles.
Super rules that Meinecke did not
foul Coombs.
In the matter of the time in the
hurdle race Super declares the pro-
test invalid, reiterating his opinion
that the competitor knocked the hur-
die down.
The matter will now be referred to
the Games Committee for final
action
The correspondence follows:
The coombs Protest.
HEALANI YACHT AND BOAT CLUB.
Honolulu, February 20, 1912.
Chairman, Games Committee, Hawaii
an Branch of the A. A. u, Honolulu,
Hawaii
Dear Sir-The Healani Yacht and
Boat Club hereby enters a protest to
the decision Of the referee in not de-
claring foul on Meinecke for step
ping on COMBS foot at the finish of
the mile race at the recent A. A. U.
sports. The protest is made on the
following grounds:
1. When questioned by the referee
Meinecke admitted that he had
touched Coombs' right heel with his
left toe when but few feet from the
finish, but said he was not certain that
it was before or after Coombs had
fallen.
2. Coombs was a full stride ahead
of Coombs when Coombs fell it would
fell away from Meinecke it would have
been impossible for Meinecke to have
touched him.
If Meinecke had been a yard ahead
Of Coombs when Coombs well it would
have been impossible for Meinecke to
have touched Coombs. Several Of the
judges claim that Meinecke had this
lead on Coombs, and everybody knows
that this is not so. We all know that
Meinecke did not intend to step on
Coombs, but he unfortunately did and
should have been disqualified. BY his
own evidence he admits it. We do not
claim second place for Coombs, but
we do claim first place.
Trusting that the above reasons will
appeal to the Games Committee and
that a satisfactory adjustment can be
had, yours respectfully,

The bull fight was once popular In
ancient Greece and Rome and was in
troduced by the Moors into Spain
from whence it passed to the Spanish
colonies throughout the world The
bull fight is held in an arena of more
or less magnificence. The bulls are
turned out one by one with many
forms of pomp and ceremonial where
they are assailed, first by horsemen,
picadores, who attack them with the
lance; second, by banderilleroes arm
ed with sharp pointed darts and flags;
and, third, by the matador. who with
the sword gives the coup de grace to
the tortured bull, sheathing the blade
with one sure thrust up to the hilt

times more than a score of bulls are
killed at one entertainment. In Span
