Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin:
Sir: / notice in the Star.Bulletin
some rules for pedestrians as regards
keeping clear of autos which seemed
good and timely, but permit me to
add the following:
These guys on foot should be tied up,
All motorists declare
They're always in the bioomin' way,
You meet them everywhere.
The bumps in roads are bad enough,
But nothing hurts car
So much as killing kids and men
It's such an awful jar.
When one has blowed his little pile
For a secondhand machine;
And has it chalked against his name
For all his gasoline;
What pleasure is there in the spin?
II makes you almost daft,
To have to shut her off and clear
The bodies off the shaft.
These low caste who must cross the
street, ~es
Claim that they have that right;
And then at times I really think
They cross the street for spite.
They'll go too far some bloomin' day,
With claims of right to life;
They'll find all that is tommyrot,
And it is useless strife.
Well soon invoke the courts and law
To keep, chumps off the streets.
That autoists be spared the jar
OF killing all he meets.

JAPANESE NAT

Annex | THE Coin

JAPANESE on the Big Island are Still
talking OF the recent visit or the wrest-
lers from their native land However,
all Is not as smooth from a financial
STANDPOINT as was the case during and
after the Honolulu engagement
The Hawaii Herald says:
Although thousands attended the
four exhibitions given here by the
great Japanese wrestling troupe and
approximately $4,000 was taken in at
the door, the word has gone out am
ong the local Japanese that the event
was not as successful financially as it
would appear II is stated that the To-
cal businessmen of the race. fifteen of
whom contributed 500 each as guar
antee. viii lose total of 500. 1t
lie explained thar $4,000 went to the
wrestlers themselves, another $1,000
went for the rental of the lumber yard
and the remainder vanished in various
ways in promoting the AFFAIR.
Nevertheless, from the standpoint of
sport the shows were satisfactory and
the japanese are content. The crowd
OF SaturcSy night was not as big as
had been expected. and that of Sunday
consisted OF only about 200 persons,
though it is said that the best per-
Torrance OF the entire series was
given on that day. The principal
event Sundsy was match between

and Otori. seconu only to Tachiyama
In skill and strength. For the first
time In several years the champion
seemed to have met his peer. for al
though Otori did not gain fall the
champion did not gain a point either.
and the match was declared a draw.
The two giants tussled steadily for
fifteen minutes. locked in esch others
arms. and they struggled so hard that
at the end of the time both were COM

NEW YORK NEEDS NEW
DOCKS, THE REASON

The construction of the Panama
Canal has caused worldwide inter-
est in harbor development and harbor
management. New York, the worlds
leading seaport. should, because o.
its commanding geographical loca-
ton, receive a greater benefit than
any other world-port. Though the
harbor of New York is almost per-
feet in these facilities provided by
nature, the hit-or-miss management
of the harbor is stunning the growth
of commerce for the city and for the
nation. The superior management Of
European harbors will give the Euro
pean seaports the greater benefit from
the Panama Canal unless immediate
action is taken in New York.
The joyful homeward-boun travel
er coming up New York bay on the
upper deck of an ocean liner is prone
to say, why is New York so far be-
hind that it has no docks like those
of Liverpool and no cranes like Ham
burg?" Few people realize how for
tunate is New York that it has no
docks like those of Liverpool. True,
the docks of Liverpool are great
pieces of engineering work, but New
York is favored in that it does not
need to have that kind of docks. The
Liverpool docks are built with stu
pendous masonry walls and massive
>Iockgates, simply because the tide at
Liverpool rises as much as 80 feet
Ships at Liverpool pass through the
gates at high tide into basins Of still
water. Should steamer miss one
tide, it must wait for the next tide be-
fore reaching the pier. Water enter
ing the dock at high tide is held In
side BY the gates to float the ship af-
ter the tide has receded. Should an
earthquake, at low tide, destroy the
walls and gates, the water would rush
out and the ship would rest in mud
beside her pier. There are ordinarily
two pairs OF gates to each dock en-
trance to make certain that one pair
will always be in working order.

A
HERO IN HIS
own COUNTRY

1
Now that there's real war on for
France, it's doubtful whether re box
fight" attracts as much attention as
it did a month or SO ago. However.
the following peace-tine sketch Of
Carpenters standing and record in
his native land is interesting:
No man has created greater SEN
sation in France during the last 20
years than Carpenter. He is a pub
lie idol. Wherever he gees he Is sur
rounded by a big crowd Men and
women idstfe eacf other TO obtain a
glimpse Of him. Bronze statuettes OF
him in boxing poise can be found in
every city and hamlet of France. His
pictures hold prominent places in
cafes and shop windows He dresses
in the latest fashion, and is such a
dandy that many things are called
after him. And all because in less
than two years he placed France on
the map in a position which she had
never held before-that of being the
birthplace and home of the best prize.
fighter in Europe.
But Carpenter did not earn his hon.
ors without defeat Like Napoleon,
he had his Waterloo, but unlike that
great fighter he was not eclipsed when
he met with crushing defeat He lost
several battles early in his career.
When in the bantamweight division
he was knocked out by Gloria in six
rounds-the first and only time that
he was unable to respond when the
referee counted ten over him. He
lost to Buck Shine and Young Snow.
ball in the featherweight division.
Dixie Kid, an American negro, de-
feated him in five rounds, in 1911.
when he was a welterweight After
winning the middleweight titles of
France and England, Frank Klaus of
Pittsburg thrashed him so soundly in
a bout at Dieppe, France, that Carpen-
tier, IN the nineteenth round, commit.
ted a foul, for which he was disquali-
fed. This was in June. 1912 In Oc-
tober of that year Billy Papke, the iii.
nois thunderhelt.. who was then in
Paris. forced Carpenter to quit" af.
ter pounding him till his face was

Since his battle with Papke Carpen.

of victories With increasing avoir-
dupois came greater strength and
skill. and he won every battle that he
fought in 1913 and 1914. 1t was his
two knockout victories over Bombar.
der Wells. the first at Client, Belgium,
in four rounds, and the second at the
National Sporting club OF London In
less than one round. that gave him
his great prestige. It also made him
Frances favorite son. for it was the
first time in French history that a
heavyweight boxer had defeated the
champion of Great Britain.
Carpenters career in brief is as
follows: He was born at Lens, France,
on Jan. Il. 1894. He stands six feet
enc inch and weighs $50 pounds. He
is fast fighter and a clever boxer.
He is equally good at long range and
inighting. In the latter respect he
fights more like an American than
any other man in Europe. He can
take punishment He is good two.
