The crowd roared itself hoarse
| when Kilsner got busy in the elev-
enth. plainly showing which way it's
eympathieS ran. Bauersock, for some
reason, didn't seem over popular with
mis- former garrison chums, getting a
scattering of boos and Kisses when he
entered the ring. When Major Butts
grabbed q glove of each man, and
shot the two hands aloft in signal of
an even break, Bauersock rushed into
Kilsner's corner and shook hands with
him, and then came to the front of the
ring and tried to say something to the
crowd. He had about as much chance
as Caruso would have IL ne attempted
20 sing the Star Spangled Banner in a
boiler factory. After three attempts
Sox gave up his oratoricaI efforts and
retired.
Major Eutts of the Twenty-Fifth
comes in for paragraph all to him
self on the way he handled the men
in the ring He was cool and didn't
lay hands on any of the fighters I'M
less they refused to break at the
word, but when he did go between
them they fell quickly apart. He
didn't have much to do in the main
event. but in some of the prelims he
did some heavy lifting. The major
is some fighter himself, and hardly
a day passes without his going twenty
full rounds at fast clip with three.
or four soldiers. There was a time
when Major Butts was considered
worlds championship material. If you
don't believe 1t, write to Jim Corbett
and see what he says.
Preiims Fast.
The S-round semi.windup lasted only
six frames, at the end of which time
the towel was thrown In from the
corner of Lamond of the cavalry, who
gamely took lot Of punishment from
Donovan of the Second Infantry. Both
boys had big reaches, and the fight
was principally arms while it lasted,
Donovan winding up like pitcher for
some of his most fancy deliveries.
Lamond is the original iron,jawed
man. In the fifth he took three right
swings full on the point, without, a.
flicker. There was q knockdown in
the third, when another right swing;
80 the head sent Eafaond Keeling, but
there was some slip TO &c as well. =.
Carlin, First Field Artillery and
Piszcsek, First Infantry, put up q
rafting good 6-round affair, replete
with hard hitting and clever blocking,
and featured by the clever footwork
Of the gunner. II was good draw,
and that's the way the referee called
it. -
The comedy relief of the evening
was provided in the first offering by
two colored gentlemen Of the Twenty
fifth, Privates Bordero and Worthbut-
ton.
The fighters were long on slam and
short on science, and the result was
one grand Whirl of revolving arms. It
looked as, though couple Of Dover
egg heaters haG decided to settle
their differences under Queensberry
rules. The decision went to Bordero,
who, on the advice OF his chief sec
ond, panatella, slightly bald, to Go
TO Nigger!" used left to the jaw to
good advantage.
There was a fair attendance of
townspepple, although the special
train which was run for the conven-
fence of Honolulu fans didn't get the
play it should have.
