AMERICAN And
JAPANESE ARE
HONOR GUESTS
Bishop Harris of Korea and
Retiring Consul Arita Given
Luncheon

Honoring an American and two jap
anese, men of long service to the two
nations of which they are subjects,
leaders of the Japanese, community
here were hosts at luncheon today
in the Young Hotel. -t
The guests were Dr. NJ. C. Harris,
bishop of the Methodist missions of
Korea, and the retiring consul and
acting consul-general. Around the
table sat not only prominent Japan
csc but prominent Americans of Ho-
nolulu also.
1t had been expected that Rokuro
Moroi, the new Japanese consul-gen-
eral for Hawaii, who arrived today
with Bishop Harris on the Shinyo Ma
ru, would be present at the luncheon
but he was getting settled after his
voyage. Bishop Harris continues
through to the ttates.
Previous to the luncheon DR.. Harris
and Consul,gereral Moroi had been
met at their steamer, the Shinyo
Maru, by Methodists and Japanese
leaders and taken for sightseeing
tours of the city. This afternoon
reception is being given Bishop Har-
ris in the new parsonage of the Few.
C. Nakamura, pastor Of the River
street church.
This is a new experience to me,
but am sure l will like your islands"
said Consul-Geaeral r. MorOi, as he
arrived from Japan this morning on
the Slinyo Maru, and was met at Pier
Z by a delegation Of prominent Homo
lulu japanese, headed by Mr.. Arita.
Il left Belgium, where was charge
d'affaires at Brussels, in April, 1914, a
little more than two months before
the European war started" says Mr..
Moroi, who has mad a long and varied
experience as Il diplomatist.
In Germany, at Berlin, Er. Moroi
was first secretary of the Japanese
embassy in the German capital for
some years, before the war. He has
been in Japan, with the foreign Office,

there was demand for sport that
would provide plenty of action without
brutality and which would serve the
purposs Of scientific physical develop
ment. DIR. Naisrpith gave much
thought to the problem and soon
evolved the game of basketball.
The first contest demonstrated that
the new sport has powerful appeal.
Goals were made of iron hoops from
which nets were suspended. The lat
ter were at first so woven as to hold
the ball. but later it was found desir-
able to change the nets SO that the
ball would drop through to the playing
floor.
Quick Popularity.
The z. NJ. G. A was largely respon-
sible for the immediate and widespread
popularity of basketball The game is
now played by nearly $4,000 boys and
men in the United States and Canada.

play an increasingly important part in
raising the physical standards of

The instinct to evolve games in which

hit the floor he was still standing on

Mecue Packs Vigorous Kick
J Matty McCue of Racine wis. who .
year or so ago looked like one Of the
most promising featherweights in the
game. gained his greatest claim 70
fame in the sport of boxing through
his hitting ability. For a little fellow
Matty packed an awful kick in each Of
his hands From an obscure position
he suddenly shot into the limeIight by
knocking out his opponents as fast as
the promoters could set them up for
him.
McCue got so good that he quit his
mana and no less a managerial

after the management of heavyweight
champion Jess Willard. took him under
his wing. Jones. however. found out a
lot about McCue that he didn't know
before he became his manager, and the
principal one of these was that Matty
was sadly lacking in boxing ability.
McCue turned out TO be a failure under
the Jones regime.

Tex Richard, Promoter, Makes
Big Name by Taking Big Chances

SSOATB Of the gamest men that ever
walked in shoe leather belong to
the class of sports who promote box
ing. Dan A Stuart, who pulled off the
fight between Jim Corbett and Bob
Fitzsimmons at Carson City, New. was
the pioneer in handling modern
Gsueensbury contests, and to him a
worthy successor appeared when Tex
Fsickard bounded into the limelight
with a $50, 900 purse for Battling Nell
son and Joe Cans at GoIdhelds New, in
1906.

who is a credit to the game.
Stages Cans Nelson Fight.
No such a shock was ever handed tho
sporting world as the announcement OF
Rickard ten years ago that he would
pull of the championship fight between
Battling Nelson and Joe Cans for the
lightweight cham pionship in the little
town of Golddeld, New. Tex was roast
ed on all sides, but he went through
with the job, and that his judgment
was right was proved by the fact that
tire contest drew over $4,000. Richard
quit a big winner and gained the repu-
in the history of the American prize
rang.
Richards second play that required
the nerve and honesty OF a real gam
bier came in 1910, when he pulled off
the fight between Jim Jeffries and Jack
Johnson for the worlds heavyweight
championship at Reno, New. This
match attracted people from all over
the world.
PAYS Jeffries $4,000.
It was fought in the hot sun on the
Fourth Of July, and Johnson won on
Knockout in the fifteenth round. Tex
had promised the fighters a kings ran
som for their share, and they got all
that was coming to them. Jeffries re-
ceived $4,000. johnson got 100000.
The total gate receipts were $27O, 775.
No better evidence is needed that Tex
is the king of promoters than these
two fights. He is in a class by him
self and will make them all hustle when
he gets back in the harness.
