Hugh Mcintosh firmly believed
that Bill Lang of Australia was ties
tined to become the champion
of
the world. There is no doubt of
this, for prior to Lang's contest in
London with Sam Langford, Mc
intosh did not hesitate to placo
himself on record as to how he felt
regarding Lang. It was thought
after the way the bout ended that
Mcintosh would admit he had over
rated Lang. On the contrary, Mc
intosh is busy explaining away
Lang's "fatal error'' in fouling his
opponent. A letter from Mcintosh
is full of apologies for Lang. He
says that tlio aftermath of the big
contest bristles with discussions as
to what might have been "had not
Lang, in a moment of impulse,
brought about his own disqualifica-
tion." According to Mac, the Aus
tralian heavyweight received a trem
endous ovation when ho entered the
ring. "This," says Mcintosh, "ap
peared to unnerve him. It.influ-
fenced his movements during the
?'f early part of the contest. On the
'r other hand, Langford, cool, smiling
away under the instruction of his
'experienced adviser." It seems that

flin t no mm rounu iMun was umi
t-'tffi change his taitics. He went
right at Langford, and, according
to Mcintosh, had the better of the
exchanges. "When weighing the
decision against Lang," writes Mc
intosh, "it should be borne in
mind that when he lost the fight he
was on' his feet and Langford on
the floor.' Most of the papers attri
bute Langford's fall to a slip, but
the photographs vividly demonstrate
that it was the result of a clean,
knockdown blow. It is the opinion
of some of the best judges men
who arc eminently impartial that
Lang had a really good winning
chance if "he had not impulsively
fouled his opponent. Lang was
just about realizing that Langford
liad done his best. Bill remarked
afterwards that Lawzford's blows
were getting lighter, sure pr6of that
Langford was tiring, whilst Lang
was settling down to fight in his
old stvlo. Tho foul was a most
unfortunate occurrence, but the ref
eree had no option but to disqualify
him."
Concerning Catcher Jacklitoh and
his shyness for work Manager Dooin
says: "The most notablo thing
Jacklitch ever did whilo with tho
Phillies was to warm up pitchers
sitting in a chair. Hilly Murray
came across him one day calmy
seated with Moren and Brown lhng
ingtohim." 'What's this! ' shouted
Murrav. 'A rest cure you're- taking?'
" 'No,' sleepily replied Jacklitch.
'When I'm seated the pitchers know
I will not chase any wild throws
and it teaches them accuracy.' "

This Chinaman With an Irish Name

When tho casofigainst "Sam Ma-
honey, cruelty to animals," was call
ed in a San Francisco Police court
recently there stepped forth from
the prisoners' dock a Chinese clad
in blouse, pantaloons and sandals.
His long queue was tied up in a nea,t
knot.
For a moment or two there was
an ominous silendo in the courtroom.
The detectives blinked their eyes
several times in rapid 'succession.
"That uni my name," said the
Oriental. "All sameo Sam Mahoney,.
That urn good name. Bling good
washce to laundly."
Tho judge held a whispered con
sultation with tho Policeman who
had arrested the Chinese.
"The officer tells me,'' said the
court finally, that you have been
driving a horse with lame feet to
your wagon and that it was caused
by shoes that were too small. What
havo you got to say to that?"
"Him small shoes. Feet him
grow, ilnn no good."
"I gather," said the court, "that
you don't -want a horse with big
feet. That a horse's feet ought to
bo bandaged like a Chinese woman?''
Sam Mahoney nodded his head in
approval.-
"The policeman tells me," said
the court, that you adopted the
name of Sam Mahoney beciiuso it
helps your business."
Here Mahoney asked for an inter
preter. Ono was produced. After
some conversation in Chinese the
interpreter explained the situation
thus:
"Ho says that when ho started
the laundry ho ca'mo to tho conclu
sion that ho would get all tho white
trade of tho neighborhood if ho took
the name Mahoney. He says ho
hung out a sign and the trade came
When any of tho patrons asked to
see Mahoney ho told them that Ma
honey had just stepped out and
would, bo back in a few minutes
Ho says that ho has run the place
for ten months and has made lots
of money. He wants to know if it
is all right for him to keep up the
sign bearing the name Sam Ma
honey."
Him good name. Sam Mahoney
him mighteo good bustney man,"
put in Sam Mahoney smiling.
"Tell him yes" said tho court.
"But he has got to have that horse's
feet fixed up.''
Sam Mahoney agreed and tho case
was dismissed.

Racy Paragraphs From the Capitol On
Current Topics.
(By Oscar Drcnton.)
Honolulu, March 21, 1911.
Tho College of Hawaii put another
athlete on the pedestal at the track
meet on Alexander Field last Satur
day. Willie Rice smashed one or
two old records, made new ones or
tied the college records for tho is
land, in his work at all distances.

Bill" Rico who had been doped to
win a hammer throw or something
else, but not much. In fact Kamc-
hamcha was to have everything that
was worth whilo and Oahu was to
get most of what was left, according
to the dope sheets. Rice was fit.
Ho had won fivd events and to the
surprise of his admirers entered for
tho 880 yards dash and won. All of
the winnings by Rice go to tho credit
of Hawaii College which scored forty-
two points. Oahu thirty eight and
Kamehameha twenty four. Con
sidering that it was generally be
lieved that Kamehameha would win
tho final count there must havo been

Saturday night. In tho

in 10. 1-5 with

was won by Young, of Oahu, with
Damon, of tho same college, second
and Meinicko, same, third. The
44Q y-ird dash won by Rice in 57

cord, Godfrey of Kamehameha
second and Gibb of Oahu third. 220

events and it was not thought ho
could do much in this against Not
tage who had everything in his favor.
In nearly every event of this char
acter at Oahu, Nottago takes the
lead and holds it to tho end leaving
the field far behind. On Saturday
he had Rice, a tired man, to con
tend with and everything should
havo been easy But Rico camo un

enter in several of tho events which
gave Oahu an advantage and kept
down tho total result.

Aloha Lodge Pays Off Indebtedness
and Plans Celebration.
Aloha Lodge, K. of P., has ac
complished a feat which any order
should reasonably be proud of. A
little less than nino years ago, tho
members of this lodge determined
to build a castle hall. Tho under
taking was a big one, especially so
as ,tho lodge at that timo could not
boast pearly so largo a membership
as it docs at tho present timo. Tho
result of their determination and
peVservcranco is seen in tho present
K. of P. Hall in Wailuku. For
years the struggle was a bitter one
to pay the interqst on tho debt, and
in addition' pay off part of the in
debtedness each year. Gradually
the load began to lighten; now
members joined the order, until to
day the Lodge is in a flourishing
condition, and two weeks ago tho
.ast dollar of indebtedness was lifted
from the building.
In celebration of this happy event
tho Lodge is planning to give a ban
quet and dance, such as they wero
famed for in years past. Tho date 1
set for this affair is Saturday even
ing, April 15th, and there is no
question but that it will at least
equal any entertainment of tho kind
ever given in Wailuku.
Celebration at Puunene.
Last Saturday evening the mem
bers of the Puunene Athletic Club
entertained their friends at tho
club rooms. As usual, this was
made the occasion for a jolly good
timo. Dancing was enjoyed until
eleven o'clock, when tho guests wero
invited to the dining room of the
club, whero they sat down to a
feast of good things. Tho speeches
which followed tho banquet wero
both instructive and entertaining.
They wero instructive in that it
sluwed what a large number of peo
ple there aro on Maui who cannot
make a speech, and entertaining in
their brevity. Taking into consider
ation that this was tho anniversary
of Ireland's patron saint, it is
reniarkablo. Altogether everyone
had an enjoyable timo, and tho
wonder is thero aro not more such
entertainments given.
