Speed NOV

After having played some very sue
cessful ball in and around New YORK.
the AlI-Chinese baseball team is TAX
ing another swing around the PENN
sylyania wheel. And incidentally the
aggregation is making more OF SEM
sation with every game. As a puhlcl-
ty proposition, the Chinese team IS
a sure winner, and through it Hawai-
has had much desirable advertising.
A Reading, Pa, paper of recent date
gives the following boost to the Orlen-
tails:
The Chinese University baseball
team from the Hawaiian Islands
stacked up against the crack Boyer
town team at Lauer's Park yesterday
afternoon and, gave the more than
1900 fans present one of the finest ex-
hibitions of the game ever seen IN
Reading. The Chinks ran bases a la
Ty Cobb, f1elded like Eddie Collins and
the rect of Connie Mack's billion-dol-
lar infield, while they played the finer
points of the game as if they were be-
ing directed by the only man who
ever gave Philadelphia winning
team-the one and only Connie him
self.
The work of the yellow men was q
big surprise to the fans. The Boyer
town boys, one of the strongest semi
professional aggregations in the state,
could do little with the MOngolians
after the first inning, when the Berks
team got three counts over the rubber.
After that Foster, the Chinaman with
the American name. was alright
and allowed but five men to reach
first base in the final eight innings.
Sensational fielding and throwing
helped the foreign pitcher some.
The Berks county team used three
pitchers in a attempt to stop their
opponents from piling I'm runs, but to
no avail. Lintz and Frees proved

FOURTH IS WELL
LIKED BY PUGS

It has only been in late years that
boxing promoters picked out the
Fourth of July as good date for
championship battles. The contest be
tween Jim Jeffries and Jack johnson
at Reno. Nevada, on July 4, 1910, was
the biggest event of the kind ever held
in the country on Independence Day.
Johnson won on knockout in the
18th round. This was the first fight
JEFF ever fought on the Fourth Of July
Johnson and Jim Flynn did the hon.
ors in 1912, when they met at Las
Vegas. Johnson won in the ninth
round, when the police stopped the
battle.
AID. Wolgasr has always been q
lucky fighter on the Fourth Of July.
Two of his most notable victories were
earned on that day. He beat Owen
Moran at San Francisco in Is rounds,

DONOVAN And
REILLY next?

There are good many. ring fans
in Honolulu who believe that Charley
Reilly's poor showing against Carlin
at Schofield Barracks the other night
was due to the fact that he didn't
have sufficient time to condition him
self for the mill, and these same fans
are calling for match between Reilly
and Donovan, the soldier scrapper OF
Fort Shafter 1t looks now as though
this match would materialize, and that
it would be held in this city into the
bargain.
1t has been some time since scrap
has been pulled off in Honolulu, and
in all probability card with any sort
of class to it would draw well, espe-
cially if held at one of the big show
houses.
There is no doubt but that Reilly
was short of work when he went up
against CaFlin the other night He
didn't make any too favorable an i'm
preston inside the ropes, and GER
tainly his lack of condition had some
thing to do with this. Donovan is the
sort of rough house fighter who would
make Reilly. work from the first tap
of the gong, and the claim of the lat
.ter's friends after the affair last
Thursday. that it takes two to make a
fight, and that Carlin wouldn't open
things up, wouldn't hold good in a
Reilly-Donovan affair. There's a good
chance of the boys being signed with.

0LD-TIME BATTERY
COMBINATION HERE

Next Mondays ball game between
Stanford and the Punahou Athletic
Club has been arranged primarily to
give the old-time Punahou battery,
A. L. Castle and C. b. Lyman, a
chance to once more perform on the
points. II was in 1904 that the Cas-
tle-Lyman, who has just graduated
from West Point with baseball hon
ors as well as a commission, was a
kid sophomore at Oahu College nine
years ago. and Castle was star who
had won his baseball at Harvard. 1t
will be interesting to see how this
old-time combination viii work against
Stanford and if Castle was in shape,
the cardinal batters would probably go
up against more taan they expected.
The Punahou captain has been on the
sick list, however, and it is hardly
probable that he will be in his best
pitching form.

Saturday. and Sunday the scene shifts
to Athletic Park, where the collegians

FITZTELLS Why THE

BY ROBERT FITzsIMMONs

Men are just the same today that
they were ten or fifteen years ago. The
reason why we don't have boxers OF
the same class is that Ihe sport has
ehynged
IT used to be all twenty or forty
five rounds or to finish Men fight
ling to finish have to know how to
flight. You, don't have to. know so
much about it boxing ten rounds with
tont decision.
Look over that fight of mine againss
kCorDett at Carson City in 1897. II
that had been a ten-round fight. no

in and take a chance of winning with
q. punch. Twouldn't have had to show
any skill As il was, | calculated just
how long Corbett could stand q GER

science could make knew how I

and just what advantage in skill and

figured for moment that he had any
chance to beat me- But l didn't go in
blind, slamming around for general
results Corbett had his calculation.
He thought be could wear me down
with jabs, bleed me and weaken me.
and then get me His calculation was
wrong and mine was right, as the re-
suit proved ssetis u
That fight only. took. fourteen
rounds, but If II had gone forty I'd
have followed the line | set out on,
gradually wearing him down and then
planting the solar plexus punch when
L had forced or tricked him into giving
me sure opening.
Now, suppose that had been six or

had just one idea In his mind to
stand off and jab me and make a
showing and stick the ten without let
ting me slip one over. I'd been work.
ing to get him in hurry, and where
would the science have been?
This no-decision thing allows boxers
to stall. In my championship days /
never thought of such thing as stall
ling, except just once. That time /
stalled because Ishad sent my wife a
wire that was going to win in the
fifth round, and the other fellow was
easier than l expected, so had to
stall through q couple of rounds to
keep from knocking him out too soon.
When you have decision to win at
the end of u tight there isn't the sane
Temptation to stall. The way 1t Is,
two-thirds of the boxers are satisfied
to slide through ten rounds and get
the money without extending them
selves or taking a chance II the
route was twenty rounds they couldn't
afford to do that. because the chance
of losing would be greater. II they
were forced to fight every time they
got into ring they'd develop great
fighters just the way they used to.
You can't make champion golf play
ers by reading the rules to people, or
champion Marathon runners by put
ting them through the sprints
The reason that nearly all OF the
good fighters are developed in the
west is that they fight long fights out
there. Big or little, the man who Is
used to the 2O-round game has an adj
vantage over the New York boxer who
only knows how to fight ten rounds.
No champion will ever be made in ten
round bouts.

wagon for Montezuma to attend some
gathering. Before getting to Monte
yuma, while Moore was out to fix

she intended to kill him and shot al
him when he drew his pistol and shot
her and also shot Holmes through the
shoulder. Hattie died in about IL
minutes. Moore skipped and Chester

The whole crowd were drinking and
ready for trouble according to the
pistols they had. Each of the women
are married and left their husbands
at home and had other women's hus-
