NEW YORK.-The impression pre-
walls in local sporting circles that 1914
Is will be lean season for boxing.
Why. cant see for the life of me.
Unless something happens to pull this
country into the big battle of nations,
it looks to me as If the coming sea-
son ought to be the best in many
years. The trouble abroad has stop
ped all ring activities in Europe which
means that most of the American tall
ent in the game must remain at home.
Uncle Sans only real rival in the
boxing line at present is Australia,
and the game over there, while BOOM
ing. is not of sufficient proportions to
corner all the stars For several years
American boxers have found England
and France, particularly the latter
country, fruitful fields of operation and
with those avenues closed for the pres
ent American promoters should be in
position to provide a. high class of
fistic entertainment for their patrons
during the coming fall and winter.
Looks for Boom in Boxing.
The local game has been none too
good the last year or so, but with gen.
eral business conditions improving
and things ought to boom in this coun-
try as a result of the troubles of the
other fellowsH look for the sport to
enjoy greater season of prosperity
than at any time since the Fraw,ey
law put boxing on legal footing.
Local promoters, however, cannot ex-
pect to reap much financial reward if
they continue the throat-cutting poll
cies OF the last two years. This thing
of trying to steal the stars from each
other spells losses for everybody con-
cerned, barring the fighters. So much
rivalry has existed in local boxing cir
cles for some time past that no one
made any money worth mentioning.
Even at Madison Square Garden, the
most popular of all, the men financially
interested lost money last season.
Garden May Quit the Game.
Unless some sort of an agreement to
regulate the percentage to be paid
boxers is reached before the season
opens il is extremely doubtful if the
Garden will be in the field this year.
Billy Gibson, the McMahons and other
big promoters should call meeting
and try to arrive at an understanding
If they want to make money, as it is
only natural to suppose Pay the box
ers a fair percentage of the gate. The
fellows who draw will get the big
money, which is as it should be, and
the fellows who can't fill the seats will
be paid in proportion to their popu-
larity. But this plan can't be carried

TRACK To BE
EXTRA FAST
TBy Latest MALL


SAN FRANCISCO.-The exposition
track and field is nearing completion,
Experts predict that the track, which
win be a third OF a mile oval with a
quarter-mile straight,away. will be the
fastest ever built The composition OF
same is something entirely new in
track building and was conceived aft.
er much consideration had been given
{ to the nature of the land on which the
track will lay.
To begin with the site of the Sta
dunn is filled-in ground, and the sur
face consists of loose sand. 1t was,
therefore, necessary 10 arrive at some
other basis of building the track than
has been in vogue in the past, under
different surface conditions
A layer of straw is placed over the
sand, then comes layer of shavings,
then a layer of crushed rock, thin
layer of clay, coarse cinders and fin
ally mixture OF clay md fine ctnders
in proportion of four parts einders to
one of clay, the entire depth of these
different parts being nine inches.
The oval will be 20 feet wide on
the turns and on the far stretch, while
the straight-away will be 80 feet wide.
The straight-away proper will, OF
course, be 80 feet wide which will
permit of ten men running abreast.
The entrance from the straight-away
to the oval is graduated from 80 feet
to 20 feet to prevent fouling in compe-
tition.
There Is a salt water sprinkling sys-

around the oval and along the straight.

The Field.
The layout of the field. that is, the
jumps, pole voult, weights and jayelin,
is ideal. The space allotted for the
broad jump and pole-vault will lay i'm
nediately inside the quarter-mile
stretch directly opposite the center
of the grandstand, the pits for same
being 33 feet long by % feet wide
There is a 160-foot runway to the
right and left of these pits and also
pits of the same dimensions at the
ends of these runways. In other words
the pole vault and broad jump VIII
have two pits each with 1G0-foot
runway between, which will permit of
competition in either direction.
The location of the high jump will
run parallel to the center of the
broad jump and pole vault pits. The
pit for same will be % feet square
with approaches from either side.
The circle for the hammer will be
within a safety cage to the right of
the high-jump, while the space for the
shot-put and weight events will be to
the left of the high-Jump.

GOLF GOSSIP

Among the interviews accorded to
The World of Golf none is more inter
estfng than that given by J. H. Taylor.
and there is quite lot to be learned
from what he says of his own progress
and ideas about golf in the account
published in recent number of that
magazine. ~ ~.
j. n. Taylor, FIVE times winner and
six times runner-up in the open cham
pionship, besides being n member of
the. Great Triumvirate," will aver be
remembered as one of the greatest
fighters the game of golf has produced.
The mid,Surrey professional is one of
the few modern golfers who feel the
better for championship meeting.
But let Mr.. Taylor describe his own
feelings in the matter:
The question yon ask is Difficult.
one to answer without throwing one
self open to the accusation of .bras-
ging,' but your query is to the point
and | shall endeavor to reply to the
point. Yes, undoubtedly play my best
golf on big occasions In the oil days
that was statement that mos, golfers
could make, and with fair amount of
ruth, but apparently nowadays there
are few golfers wno would even de-
sire to say it. Men ike Mr.. Ball, Mr.
Hilton and Braid and Vardon of course
come under the category of the old
fighting school. I candidly ADMIT ]
like championships. / play to win,
of course, but the thought of success
is not the only thing that apaeals to
me about these meetings. like the
fight itself. For weeks before q cham.
pionship / look forward to its advent
as does busy town worker TO his
annual holiday When eventually 1t
arrives am glad to say it finds me
ready to fight it or fall.
although I say it, championship
winning requires something more than
the ability to play occasional rounds
of special brilliance. To win cham.
pionship a man must have goodly
store of determination.
But, mind you, / do not wish to
hint that the winning of dthe open
should be the primary ambition of ev-
cry promising golfer. While, of course,
every professional must of necessity
harbor secret longing to accomplish
that feat, 1 am great believer in the
playing Of the game in its grand old
traditional spirit. Unfortunately, how
ever, this spirit is rapidly dying out.
There is too much of the personal ele-
ment about modern golf. The act Oh
winning has become the primary at
traction and the game itself the sec
ondary. It is impossible to say Just
exactly what is the difference between
present-day golf and that of 20 years
ago. but nevertheless man who has
participated in the game in both pc
RODS can feel that there is a subtle
distinction between the feeling that
pervaded it then and the feeling that
pervades it now. :..-. -.

POLO MATCHES
TO KAPIOLAN
Possibility of Using Waikiki
Field if MoanaIua Becomes
Too Soggy for Play

The heavy rain ot the past two DAYS,
and the prospect OF more 10 come, may
throw out polo plans. and those who
have the inter-lsland championship
tournament in charge are casting anx-
Sous glanees skyward There is
chance that, in the event OF continued
rainfall at Moanalua, the final game
between Maui and Oahu next Satur.
day will be played az Kapiolani park.
The field could be put in fair shape
by rolling ii and cutting the grass,
and If work was started tomorrow il
would be ready for play Saturday, as
there Is considerably less rain likely
to fall at Waikiki than at Moanalua.
Permission to use the fKapiolani
field and TO charge admission and
erect temporary bleaehers would have
to be secured from the supervisors,
and this aspect of the case has not
been considered as yet. Captains Cas-
tie and Baldwin OF the Oahu and Maui
teams are adverse to any change III
the Moanalua field is playable, be-
cause there are no stabling accommo-
dations at Kapiolani, and to play there

IA miles through traffic the day Of
the game. 1t Is realized. however,
that from the standpoint of the gen
eral public Kapiolani park is the most
acceptable playing ground and that
this would mean a large increase In
attendance and gate receipts.
If Saturdays match was the only
one on the schedule the polo men
might trust TO luck for few days
more, but tomorrow the 1st Field Ar
tillery and Cavalry teams hook up in
the third match of the tournament to
determine third place. This is reg.
ularly scheduled game. and one that
is creating a lot of interest in service
circles. Even if the weather clears 1t
is feared that the field will be so soft
that to play on it would cut 1t up and
put it cut of commission for the final
match Saturday.
All in all the polo men are on the
anxious seat and are beginning to
feel that j. Pluvhls is not polo fan.

DANCE A BIG SUCCESS

Until a late hour Saturday night
the members of the rival Myrtle and
Healani boat clubs. which supplied the
days entertainment on the harbor, eel.
ebrated the holiday with friends at a
big dance on the roof-garden of the
Alexander Young hotel. Though the
hall at each end of the garden was
open, the jewellers filled the entire
dancing space to capacity. The red,
blue and white colors of the clubs
were intertwined in the decorations,
while hats, pennants and ribbons re-
peated the colors in the crowd of joy
seekers. The event was highly sue
cessful.
