What the Wrestlers, Boxers and Base
Ball Artists Arc Doing.
There are so many angles to the
fighting gamo that the fellow who
formulated the saying "You can't
dopo fighters" was entitled to rank
as a wiso fish. This originally was
a warning to such as were inclined
to figure out possible ring results the
way that professional handicappers
figure horses. To those who are
given to propounding questions like
those mentioned above, a good piece
of advice would be Never argue
over anything that cannot be decid
ed by a bet. There are so many
ways of looking at a thing that a
fairly versatile fellow can find a line
of argument that will support or
seem to support any view he may
hold. That Jack McAuliffe at his
very best, with all his ripened know
ledge and experience to draw upon
and all his fighting machinery in
tip-top working order, would , out-
box and probably defeat either
Knockout Brown or Ad Wolgast if
they had flourished in McAuliffe's
time, is entirely probable, hut it
isn't a certainty by any means
The best of ringmerr have always
encountered someone who has proven
a stumbling block. McAuliffe in
his prime had a heart-scalding ex
perience with Jimmy Carney at
Revere Beach, Mass., and there is
no way on earth of deciding whether
either Wolgast or Brown might not
have given McAuliffee. as much
trouble or more than Carney did.
Joe Gans went through his oppon
ents like sunlight through a chink,
yet occassionally he happened across
an awkwardly clever opponent who
held him fairly even. Of such was
George McFadden "Elbows" Mc
Fadden they used to call him.
"Elbows" and the "Old Master"
boxed as great a number of times
nearly as Tommy Ryan and Jack
lieauscholte, and the score ran so
evenly that if they had been gifted
with perpetual youth, they would
have been fighting yet. Will any
one sayoffhand that McFadden was
a better fighter than Wolgast or
Brown? Hardly.
Matt Wells, lightweigh't champion
of England, for New York May 13,
his aim being a 10 round bout with
"Knockout" Brown as a prelimi
nary to a series of fights with the
various American aspirants for the
lightweight title. His manager is
already on this side, negotiating for
the. meetings. The onlyhitch is on
the question of weights. Wells wants
to get in at a slight edge over the
American lightweight limit 135
'ringside. He proposes 133 pounds
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, which
he thinks would be little away from
the English weight 135 pounds
ringside.
Adrian C. Anson, for a score of
years tho greatest ball player and
master of them all, has announced
that he will work out with the tigers
during his stay in Detroit and show
the present generation that ho can
still bat 4UU anu play a good game
at first base. He will not concede
that tho pitching of now a days is
y one bit harder than that of his
prime. I'm going to look up that
man who is giving automobiles to
champion batters," he said, and
guess I've got ono coming if any
body has, for I was champion swat'
ter of all time, and my records

Modern
Warships
England Has Just Turned Out a New
Design fa the Monarch.
There has been a great revolution
in tho design of battleships within
tho last few years, as was shown re
cently at tho launching of tho dread
nought Monarch, the largest war
ship ever built on tho Tyne.
Formerly British naval construc
tors were all for end-on fire in battle
ships and cruisers ; the greater tho
number of guns to firo straight ahead
and astern the better. Further,
alone among tho great nations, they
stood out against tho superimposi
tion of gun turrets. Now their views
have changed. In the newest de
sign, lour guns only can hre straignt
ahead and astern. The one idea at
the moment is broadside fire, and
the latest vessels can fire a salvo of
ten twelve inch guns and thirteen
five-inch guns on either broadside
Thus they are classedas the all big
gun ships. The reduction of the
military masts to onecarries out the
commonsense idea that there should
be as little as possible on the vessel
to create wreckage, tor the same
reason, the superstructure is pruned
down as muchas possible, that every
scrap of unnecessary gear may bo
done away with.
The boats are housed in shelter
screens, as the blast oi the modern
gunB would shatter them if they
wehyinprotected. The United States
navy, embodied all these systems
some years ago, and the nearest ap
proach to the latest British design
is, perhaps, the Delaware (1907),
on which all the big guns are on
the center line.
There are naval experts and con
structors 'who say that the admiralty
will be glad to go back to the power
ful end-on firo and a larger secondary
battery. It is obvious, however,
that such questions will only bo
settled in war.
The Monarch has a displacement
of 22,000 tons, and is of 27,000
horsepower. Its length is 545 feet,
and beam, 88.5 feet. Tho thirteen
five-inch gun throws a 1,250 pound
projectile. The twelve-inch gun
throws an 850 pound projectile.
The Excursion Next Sunday.
Word has been received from
Alexander Hume Ford that they
have found the Noeau too small to
accommodate all those who wish to
take in tho excursion to Maui next
Sunday, the 28th. Tho Likelike

performance, he will give tho soldier

Newsletter
Racy Paragraphs From the Capitol On
Current Topics.
(By Oscar Brenton.)
The sensation of the week past,
second, of course, to the Hilo affair,
is tho evident break between Gov
ernor Frear and Kuhio. From
what I can gather from the friends
of the delegate he had tho kick com
ing and it was just, rather than
grouch. But Frear has the backing
of tho business interests and the
men with the barrel. The opinion
seems to be that Kuhio has been
flattered by the press until his head
has gono abnormally out of shape.
Like the lamented Josh Billings he
swells up among those present and
murmurs "Of whom I am "which."
What with congratulatory resolu
tions, flattery from the press and
glad hands and idolatrous hero
worship from a large number of
politicians ho has come to believe
all he hears. Which is an error.
Ho is willing to sacrifice McClellan,
the real man, and imagine himself
responsible for the many benefits
Congress has showered upon Ha
waii. They tell me that in Wash
ington he is made much of. I'll
wager a yellow dog that there is a
smile wherever he swells up on the
avenue. From my point of view,
and my knowledge of Washington
society, Kuhio is a mighty small
toad in the puddle. As for Frear,
he may not please the politicians.
Neither does Campbell but they do
the best they know how. No one
will doubt the statement that while
Campbell is dictatorial, that he has
been, and perhaps is, a Pooh Bah,
his administration is cleaner than
that of the man to whom he acted
as assistant in the days of the
Republic. Outside a very fow no
one will agree that an administra
tion from the executive building,
with Jvuhio in olhce, as governor.
would bo as satisfactory as one with
Frear at the helm. It is ridiculous
to think about, and it will happen
only because Taft has no use for
Hawaii further than for the use it
may be to tho United States as a
strategic point, and because the
appointment of Kuhio as chief exe
cutive would he about as heavy a
slap at the governor as was tho ap
pointment of Cottrill. With Jonah
at the helm, Jimmy Boyd in tho
department of public works, John
Lane as secretary of the territory,
Tom Cooke as Surveyor and John
Wiso as Treasurer revenge would bo
sWeot indeed.
The arrest of that man Howard
on tho Manchuria seems to bo pro
lific of good results to the customs
service hero for tho latest move is to
call on the Bank of Hawaii and the
First National'Bank, through their
treasurers or cashiers, to produce to
tho jury tho accounts of tho Union-

NUMBER 13
Amateur
Marathon
t is Planned to Hold One oa the
Morning of July Fourth.
Plans aro being laid for a mara
thon race on tho morning of July
Fourth that will add greatly to tho
program for that day. The race is
strictly for amateurs for the County
Maui. Tho race will bo started
from tho Lahaina Court House at
about 5.30 in tho morning, thus
allowing tho winners to finish on
tho race track at Kahului just be
fore tho regular racing program
starts for the day.
The committee having tho race in
liand will make arrangements for '
ample attention to tho men on the
road. Members of tho militia will
be stationed along the road to cive
aid to those who find the going too
strenuous. Also, automobiles will
be provided to carry those who can
not finish, and drop out along the
route. Once a contestant receives
assistance of this kind,' however, he
cannot re-enter tho race.
A subscription has been started
and the way in which the citizens
have responded, the committee will
be in a position to give prizes to tho
value of about $150. This should
prove an incentive for a largo enlry.
As this race is for amateurs, any
man who has stamina, has a show
for a good prize.
An entrance fee of 81.00 will be
charged to cover expenses, and all
entries must be examined by a nhy-
sician before tafting. Dr. Osrriere'
has volunteered to examine all en
trants free of charge, but those en
tries from outlying districts can get
any physicians certificate. The ex
act number of prizes and the value
will bo announced shortly, but they
will be the best prizes ever offered
for any amateur event of this' sort on
the islands.
Entries will bo received from now
untill July 1st at tho Maui News
Office.
