REVIVAL Seen
FOR HAWAIIAN
BOXING GAME
Veteran Referee Expected

for Native Fighters

UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent
Honolulu, (UP) - Decision OF
George Blake, noted referee and
manager of boxers, to make Homo
lulu his home has aroused hopes
Hawaii will place several boxers
on the American boxing team to
the 1886 olympic games at Berlin.
Blake has produced more men,
bers of Olympic boxing teams than
any other individual.
Although he has signed a con-
tract to handle all professional
boxing at Henolulu's Civic Audi
forum, Blake has promised to aid
Hawaiian amateurs prepare for
| thetryouts for the American team
to the Olympics.
Fighters Gaining Prestige
During the past three years Ha.
wall has sent boxing squads to the
U. S. national amateur champion
ships. Its representatives, while
never gaining championship
have won much praise for theil
stamina and fighting ability.
With an expert handler of box.
ing giving them coaching, terri
torial fight fans feel confident
someof the islands amateurs will
land places on the Olympic squad
Boxing, like football has made
rapid strides in Hawaii during the
past three years. The islands, with
conglomerate population, have
enough racial lines to provide
friendly rivalry necessary to slim
ulate interest. Filipinos, Koreans
and Japanese have produced the
most boxers.
Blake Sponsors Two Men
Attracted by the possibilities for
professional boxing to develop
Blake recently came to Honolulu
| from his former home in Los An
geles. He brought two boxers with
him. Both of them had graduated
| into the professional ranks after
successful careers as amateurs.
After surveying the field, Blake
| became so enthusiastic over the
possibilities for professional boxing
becoming a major attraction here
he signed contract to handle al
boxing cards at the Civic Audi
forum. His job will be similar tc
that of James Johnston at New
| York's Madison Square Garden.

1.-THE most remarkable thing
about the old White SoX was theii
ability to win while torn by dissef-
sion," elucidated Collins. 'The
success of the old Athletics was
based On harmony and unity under
| Connie Mack.
But the old White Sox were di-
vided into cliques. Half of them
didn't speak to the other half. In
fielders played side by side without
a WORD between them.
Things got SO bad that we ac-
tually had to hang out the wrong
sign to certain players to accom-
plish what we had in mind. If we
wanted base runner hunted
around, we'd order the hit and
run, ect.
"Yet the old White Sox roared
along even after the one clique be-
| came involved in its lamentable
world series transgressions."
| How would you like to have
some of those old White Sox with
the Red Sox now?" asked someone.
"How was the spring weather on
Admiralty Island ?" asked Collins,
| turning to Yawkey.

r Fish miles" haven't anything to
do with the fact that a seaplane is
kind of flying fish-it's the num-
Der of miles flown multiplied by the
number of fish in the cargo.
One line reckons it's oyster miles,
its bee miles, its monkey miles and
above all, its chicken miles-eighteen
millions of the latter, writes William
Bridges in the New York Sun.
These flying boats that bring Haiti
within exactly "a hours of the New
York markedly easy connection
with a 12-hour plane from Miami
and the whole West Indies string of
islands within two or three days,
are doing some amazing things for
business down this way.
They carry some 5000 pounds of
freight every month into the Carib-
bean and South America, and most
of it is emergency or perishable
stuff. A piece of machinery breaks
and mine has to shut down for
month or so-had to, that is, until
this air express business started.
Not long ago that happened to a
mining company in Colombia. They
snapped off 4O0-pound crankshaft
called New York by radio and or
dered new one. Inside a week a
flying clipper ship laid the seven
foot piece of steel at their door.
Arthur Curtis, official of one of
the great lines, talked about the
curious freight the line handles.
"You know, we've got some fairly
steady customers down Sauth who
use our ships as sort of fast de-
livery service and do their shopping
up North" he said. II remember
one woman in British Guiana be-
cause her name is on our freight
lists pretty often. She buys her lip
stick and a certain kind of face pow
der in New York and always has it
sent down in our ships.
II don't know how many cases of
hat samples we've carried down to
Rio-not always for the shops, but
often for the women who want to
make their own selection Of New
York models.
II think the oldest piece of freight
we ever carried was a little piece
of living human tissue in a test
tube.
1T seems a doctor in Merida, Mex
leo, operated on woman and found
some sort of cell growth he couldn't
identify. He had to be sure of his
diagnosis, so he shipped off some of
the tissue, sealed it in a test tube
and put it on one Of our planes
early in the morning. Well, it got
to Miami at 5 p. m. and left a cou-
pie of hours later in the air mail
for New York. The next morning
the National Pathological labora-
tories had it under microscope,
and they wired him complete
Identification before noon. That was
just routine piece of work with us

so on. The oyster-fiying business is
brisk in winter. Our man figured
we've flown 1858 oyster-quart
miles!
Il suppose the smallest piece of
freight we ever carried or maybe
ever will was two-ounce package.
That happened last winter. Some
New York man went over to Nassau
on vacation and when he came
back to Miami he suddenly discov.
cred he'd left one false tooth in 81
glass of water in his Nassau hotel
room. Why he hadn't missed it be

wouldn't go back to New York with

spare time he taught some Of the
laborers to play baseball, and organ
lied games between the different
gangs. American visiting professors
did likewise for their pupils, and 1t
was not. long before most of the col
leges had teams. Games frequently
were played against the crews of
American ships locked in Japanese
ports, and against teams made up of
American residents.
Then, in 1905, the Waseda univer-
sity team made trip to the west
coast, playing against Stanford and
other of the coast colleges. Incl
dentally. it was the first time that
Japanese players used spikes. When
they arrived in Palo Alto, it was dis
covered that the spikes had all been
put on backward. Every cobbler in
the town had to be rounded up to
make the necessary changes before
the game the following day. From
1905 on, trips back and forth be-
tween American and Japanese COL
leges have been frequent. Some OF
the other American college teams
that have visited Japan are: STAN
ford, California, Washington, Wis
consin, Michigan, and Illinois.
A group of big league and coast
league players went to Japan in
1908, playing games against Keio,
Waseda and an all-star team. Though
the professionals won all their games
many of them were close. Five wears
later McGraw and Comiskey brought
their all-star National and American
league teams to the Orient. Their
games were watched with eager eyes
by the Japanese, who are ever anx-
ious to learn all there is to know
about the game.
Perhaps even more important in
the development of baseball in ia
pan was Keio's hiring, in 1911. two
young players of the New York
Giants, Arthur Joseph Schaefer and
Fuller w. Thompson, to coach them
for month in a winter training
camp at Kobe.
1t was then, for the first time. that
Japanese teams learned to play base
ball scientifically. Since the univer-
sity players coach the middle schools
| corresponding to our high schools)
during the summer, the knowledge
thus acquired was quickly and wide
ly disseminated.
AS far back as twenty three years
ago, therefore, the Japanese knew
how to play baseball. and played
with reasonable success against
American colleges. In the summer
of the same year, 1911. Keio toured
the United States. playing against
forty college and professional teams
i winning 60 per cent of their games
The Japanese take baseball very
seriously, even more so than Ameri
