HILO, November eat the meet

providing for the distribution of the
general fund in accordance with the
percentage system, which was in vogue
a few years ago. In other words, the
various districts viii each get por-
tion Of the total fund in exact proper.
ton 20 the percentage of taxes which
it contributes. The scheme has been
found to work pretty well in the past,
and although it has its drawbacks, it
does away with much petty wirepull-
ing and is, on the whole, just.
Chairman Ewaliko is heartily in
favor of the plan, though he states
that the resolution will be introduced
by Sam Kauhane. He hopes to get the
support of Kealoha, who, as Hilo will
benefit from the proposition, cannot OPP
pose il without betraying the interests
of his constituents. BY the same token
Hritchard. although he has not been
approached on the matter, is counted
on as favoring the resolution. as he
could not oppose it without antagoniz.
ing the material interests of his home
district, which holds the second high
est place in the list of the benefting
districts. lAe itt
Ewaliko has figured that the percent
ages will work out about as follows
North Hilo, thirty-nine per cent: South
Hilo, six per cent; Hamakua eighteen
per cent; North Kohala, eleven per
cent; South Kohala, three per cent !;
Kona, five per cent; Kau, eight per
cent. and Puma, ten per cent. If the
resolution is passed at this time, it
will be particularly Just, as Kona, the
district which is entitled to the small
est amount Of money and is the home
of the original scientific tax-dodger, has
during the past few months been re-
ceiving far more than her share of ap-
Preparations. As a matter of fact.
Ewaliko contends that Kona has been
getting more general fund money than

Peter Baron to Referee.

Next Saturday 5 bout will be refereed
by Peter Baron, the veteran athlete
and sportsman, than whom there is no
one better qualified to I'LL the position
ins II honolulu. Baron was in his day a
famous wrestler himself, and even to-
day, with the burden OF seventy odd
years on his shoulders, is one of the
finest specimens OF physical manhood
to be found in the Territory. Baron it
was who introduced Hans Froelicher to
the local public, and who developed
Sailor Roberts. Both Armalang aud
Roberts are anxious to have Baron ref
cree their contest.
Roberts is doing a great deal of road
work in order to perfect his wind. He
realizes that win from Armalang will
put him in line for other profitable
matches, while defeat would send his
stock as a wrestler down to zero, and
is sparing no pains to 20 on the mat
in the best possible fettle.
Armalang, on the other hand, is do.
ing all the actual wrestling that he
can, his object being to gain speed, and
put into practise every trick he knows.
The men aboard the U. S. 5. Patterson
are backing their shipmate to man
and will be present at the match in
force, a portion of the theater being
placed at their disposal.
The Japanese preliminaries are ex-
citing much attention among the local
japanese and there is much spirited ri
valry to decide which four men shall
be afforded the chance to distinguish
themselves. These bouts will give the
sporting public an excellent chance to
see what japanese wrestling really is,
and to compare it with the game as con
Quoted under catch-as-catch rules.

LOCAL JAPANESE CHAMPION DEFEATS NOTED PROBES
-ARMALANG AND ROBERTS TRAINING HARD
FOF THEIR BOUT AT AsAHI THEATER.

Last Saturday night witnessed the
completion of the great japanese wrest-
ling tournament at the Asahi Theater,
which started on Thursday night. The
theater was packed with japanese and
there was scattering of haoles pres
ent.
The final bout for the championship
was between Asahigawa, the noted pro
fessional wrestler, and Mitsuda, the
veteran local champion. who, il will be
remembered, was defeated by Hans
Froelicher, the Swiss champion, at the
old Orpheum Theater on Fort street
several years ago.
Asahigawa weighs about 100 pounds,
whereas Mitsuda is n giant scaling
800 pounds. The latter defeated Asa.
higawa by sheer bulk. descending on
his opponent like an avalanche and
forcing him outside the fatefu circle.
Asahigawa took the second fall very
handsomely and demonstrated that he
was the better man of the two when it
came to actual wrestling, handling Nit
suda like a child when once he had Oh.
tanned a grip on him. In the third bout
Mitsuda took no chances of Asahigawa
getting to close quarters, though the
catlike Asahigawa used all his wiles to
effect this consummation.
During the evening Otto Armalang,
the German champion, who is matched
to meet Sailor Roberts next Saturday
night at the Asahi Theatcr, was intro
duccd by Mr. Onodera. the wcll-known
japanese newspapcrman, who an
nounced that purse of $3.50 had been
offered for a contest between either
Asahigawa or Mitsuda and the winner
of the Notwithstanding contest. The
announcement was greeted with a storm

NOTES OF THE GAME.

The first twenty men to face Francis
Barney went out in one, two three or.
der. En- Sue made bobble of j. Or
nellas' poke and the first =. A. c. bat.
ter reached first base on tho big fellow.
Williamson is one of the quickest
thinkers in the league and his quick
recovery and toss of Barney's hit in
the opening inning cut off one and pos
sible more runs.
Scott failed to play his usual snappy
game yesterday and was weak in the
pitcher s box as well rs in the outfeld.
He misjudgcd Fernandez hit in the
sixth inning and failed to run very
fast after Chillingworth s hit later on.
SwintOn gathered long drive in the
third inning off the bat of Fernandez
in left after long hard run. The vet
eran of twenty-five years on the ball
field was given liberal hand.
Captain O'llara of the Coast Defense
team and members of the regimental
team of the Twenty Infantry from
schofeld Barracks have arranged Il
series of three games, the first TO be
played at Athletic Park, December 10.
Asam played nifty game at third
and in the fourth inning picked up n
drive which detected from Barney's
glove in time to nah the runner at
first. He also came through with n
timely double in the seventh inning.
La Mere s hit, the first of the game
off Barney was smashing drive to
rightfeld close to the score board and
but for fast fielding on the part of
Fernandez would have been good for a
double
Bushnell s drive in the ninth, the
second hit off Barney, went for two
bases but it was badly misiudged by
En- Sue and should have been caught
! by the Hawaii's outfelder.
Eddie Fernando hit like house
afire. His corking single in the first
inning scored the first run and another
drive in the seventh sent two runners
over the plate.
Stayton and Bettencourt handled the
indicators well. Bcttencourt had many
close ones to give and with the grounds
wet aud slippery had considerable
trouble getting over the field.
