SECOND SECTION GLOVES TEAM HANDLERS SELECTED THE HONOLULU ADVERTISER, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 4. 1947. L- it? Chinen To Be Coach; RUcCahan In (Same i ii i Kenji Horie Trainer Immediately after the heavyweight championship fight of the Golden Gloves tournament was over last Monday night, Richard Chinen, trainer-coach of the Veterans, leaped through the ropes and attempted to carry Harry Kahuanui, a 195-poundcr to his corner. Chinen was happy and proud of the way Kahuanui had fought against Johnny Contrades of the Cohots.

He was demonstrating his elation even before the decision was rendered. (It is now a matter of history that the verdict of the judges and referee favored Kahuanui). "I was happy because Harry had followed instructions to the very last detail," Chinen said. Frank Gomes Named Manager Red McQueen Will Accompany On Trip Will Be Made Later By ANDREW MITSUKADO Advertiser Sports Writer Handlers of the Golden Gloves boxing team that will be sent to the Mainland for ah inter-citv smoker were selected yesterday at a A meeting of the committee in charge of the tournament which was concluded last Monday night at the Civic Auditorium. I I 1 I Is 1 -A WILL HEAD GOLDEN GLOVES TEAM: Here are the handlers of the Golden Gloves team that will fight on the Mainland.

Left to right: Frankie Gomes, manager, Kenji Horie, trainer, and Rich-ard Chinen, coach. Details on the trip will be announced in a few days. (Advertiser photo). "We laid our plan of battle before Harry stepped into the He was to box Contrades and under no circumstances to slug it out with him. As you know, Contrades is a terrific belter and had knocked out Kahuanui in two rounds earlier in the tournament.

But we figured Harry could outbox him because of his advantage in reach and height. "Even when the going was tough, Harry was mindful of his instructions. Remember the time in third round when Contrades had him in a corner and planted a couple of hard tights on the head? Harry continued to box skillfully and worked his way out of danger. "It certainly made me happy to see him fight according to prearranged plans." Just before he stepped forth for each round, Kahuanui whispered something to Chinen. We asked the war hero "who served with the 100th Infantry Battalion in the Italian and French campaigns about it.

Chinen smiled and said: "Harry was telling me 'This is for Paul. Paul, incidentally, is Paul Devon, a team-mate, who was stricken with fever last week and lay on a hospital bed, pulling for him to win. Earlier in the day, Chinen had visited Devon and the latter had asked him to tell Kahuanui that he had all the confidence in the world that Harry could beat Contrades. Chinen delivered the message. "I can't let Paul down." Kahuanui stated.

So it was that Kahuanui stepped through the ropes with the greatest of determination and resolution to win for Paul. Until he was laid low, Devon was a contender for the light heavyweight championship. He had worked his way into the titular bracket, but illness forced him to default to Joe Cambra of CYO in the semifinals. Devon and Kahuanui took up boxing practically the same time last spring at the University of Hawaii under Chinen and since then they have been fast friends. Although he did not know anything about boxing, Kahuanui impressed Chinen the first day he turned out.

"I liked the way he moved around," Chinen said. "So I asked him tq join the Veterans team after school closed. He has proved a very apt pupil and his development has been amazing to say the of all, he can carry out instructions." Kahuanui who is quite an athlete, being a football and basketball star is considered by Chinen as an excellent prospect for the United States Olympic boxing team. He has made great progress in his first year In the game and Chinen figures that he will be ready for the best amateur heavyweights with six or seven more bouts under his belt. "Kahuanui can -punch and he can take it, too," Chinen said.

"Futhermore, he has the height and reach for a good heavyweight. All he needs right now is more experience." Yono Kitagawa, trainer-coach of the Kakaako YMA team was another happy man on the night of the Golden Gloves finals. Three of his proteges boys he had trained since the very first time they put on the gloves came through victorious as champions of their divisions. Yoshi Miyamura annexed the flyweight crown while the Kikuyama brothers Richard and Frank won the featherweight and welterweight titles. Frank represented Ft.

Shafter as he is in the army, but he got his start under Kitagawa and frequently trained at the Kakaako gymnasium during the tournament with Kitagawa supervising his workout. And to top it all, the Kakaakos won the team championship.

The 190-pounder was signed by the A's while still a pupil in the Langhorne, high school. Only one man reached base and that was no fault of his. McCahan's performance was perfect something that hasn't been done in the majors since Charley Robertson of the Chicago White Sox turned the trick in 1922. But it wasn't a perfect game because of the infield error that put the only man on. Cincinnati's Ewell Blackwell and Cleveland's Don Black have the other two no-hitters in the majors this season.

Early Wynn, Joe Grace and Cecil Travis were rushed in as lefthanded pinch-hitters during the ninth inning, but McCahan ended the game when Travis struck out swinging. It was McCahan's ninth win against four losses this year. McCahan dealt to Rae Scarborough, the losing Washington hurler the same medicine he suffered early this season. Bill was the losing hurler when Black turned in his no-hit, no-run performance against, the Athletics at Cleveland on July 10. The score that day was the same 3-0.

McCahan said after the game that he knew Washington had no hits, but that he "didn con (Continued on Page 16) Mangrimv Walker Win Pro-Ainateur DENVER, Sept. 3 (UP) A high Wind worked havoc on the water pocked Cherry Hills course here today and only six men could crack par by a single stroke as Lloyd Mangrum teamed with Dan Walker for a best ball 62 to cop the Pro-Amateur competition The event preceded the start tomorrow of the $15,000 Denver Open.

One stroke behind was the team of pro Tommy Wright and amateur Chuck Hyatt with a 63.

Mangrum collected $200 and Wright $125. Six pros were able to best the par 71 with 70s.

Sept. 3 (UP)-Burly Bill McCahan of "the Ath letes pitched a no-mt, no-run game against Washington today, losing a perfect game in the second inning when rookie first base man Ferris Fain threw wildly on a slow grounder.

McCahan, a 25-year-old right hander who served as a B-29 test pilot during the war, faced only 28 batters in his 3 to 0 victory, mowing the hepless Nats down easily with a perfectly-controlled curve and a hopping fast ball. McCahan's feat stole attention from the St. Louis Cardinals, who cut Brooklyn's lead to six games with an 11 to 1 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The Dodgers were idle today. Ron Northey's grand slam home run was the most spectacular Cardinal blow, but Stan Musial, the cogwheel of the Redbird attack, chipped in with five hits in six times at bat.

The Yankees came out of a slump with a double victory over the Boston Red Sox, 11 to 2 and 9 to 6, restoring their lead to 12Vfe games and making any combination of 12 Yankee wins and Bos ton losses the pennant-clincher.

The former welterweight champ boxed several fast rounds with Henry Davis, Shangy Tsu- kano and Pua Kahookele while the Mexican battler finished off with several rounds against Robert Rival managers reported their fighters in excellent shape for the bout. Fernandez is making his first start since he lost the welter crown to Frank Moore of Oakland. Llanes has been here for the 'past 10 days, training daily at the 49th State gym.

The bout started evenly, but Hudson piled up points in nearly every round with left jabs and straight lefts to both the head and the body. LaMotta challenged in the fifth when he punched Hudson all over the ring, and he came back briefly in the eighth and ninth when he landed several hard body punches. Hudson weighed 155 for the bout while LaMotta checked in at 165.

The bout drew 6,501 fans who paid a net of $25,390.50 for the Damon Runyon cancer fund. E. B. Peterson Registers Ace E. B.

In a game marred by too-fre quent penalties and the slow dis integration of the collegians under the pounding of the pros, Davis lasted less than eight minutes before he was carried from the field with a recurring knee injury. Without his sidekick, Blanchard showed little. The Giants got off fast when they scored within three minutes by capturing a loose ball in the collegians' end zone.

From there it was no contest with the All-Stars always deep in their own territory as the Giants scored their sixth victory in seven such contests. Davis brought the opening kickoff back 25 yards from the end zone but three tries lost five yards. Then Ed Allen of Penn-dropped back to punt but the pass from center skittered through his legs into the end zone and tackle Jim White, recovered for a Giant touchdown. Ken Strong place-kicked the first of three extra points, although he later was to show poor form by missing four field goal tries.
