Young rifo, the Feather Weight,
a Mystery to Sporting Men.
Columbia Athletic Clubs Finals
This Evening.

IA To sporting men who nave seen him,
Kyoung Critic, the Australian feather
weight, who arrived in this country ten
4. opths ago, is regarded as something of
HWmystery. Critic in some of his con-
rssts in America has shown high-class
orm, and at other times has acted like
novice. Chicagoans do not know just
hat to make of him. In his bouts with
Solly Smith and Johnny Van Heest he
ihowed up %splendidly, yet his work with
Tommy White. who Is not in the top
notch class, did not show him to be any
thing above the ordinary. those who
have seen him show his best form in
Australia say he has never let himself
out fully In this country.
Critic Is ordinarily fat and overgrown-
looking, and there Is considerable doubt
Of his, ability to train down to George
Dixon class. He Is said to weigh about
1856 pounds in his clothing. and It Is
J thought nothing but the hardest kind of
1 work can bring him down to 100 pounds.
J Critic, according to accounts, is not fond
Of work. This is not regarded as u good
| shodld be a willing worker-witness Cor
bett, Fitzsimmons and Dixon. who have
30 far shown themselves world heaters
In their respective classes.
Jimmy Carroll, who has trained Critic,
describes him as quick. a clever boxer,
and a fair hitter. Carroll says he
hare hnish fight before he Gould Judge Of
khis ability. This is rather a non-com-
initial opinion. Anybody who Knows any
fnIns about fighting could d form "a an s op,ins,
Fight. But II Carroll. who has seen more
the man than any other person In this
COUNTRY. does not know just what there
" in the man, no one else is likely to.
I With all the uncertainty about Critic, 1t
Is the general opinion that should he
meet Dixon he will be fully tried out.
