There is quantity galore in the
events which will be run at Ascot this

breaker and fast colt DR.. Crook, to
win. He win probably go to the front
and never he headed. Renraw is also
quick breaker, but hardly can beat
the top one. Pepper and Salt, the gray
baby, should about be third. Other
dangerous ones are Hipoteca and Con

AUSTRALIAN RING
MAN HAS ARRIVED
Bill squires May Be Heard from Soon.
Opinion Is That He Should Meet
Some Other American Boxer
Before Tackling Jeffrles

Jack Cox an Australian middle
weight, arrived in Los Angeles yester-
day for the purpose of securing a
match should Manager McCarey see
fit to pit him against some of the boys
who are clamoring for bouts. Cox is
touted as wonder and comes armed
with many cups emblematic Of VIC
tories won in the Antipodes.
1t is to be hoped that Cox is not a
false alarm, such as was Hook Keyes,
the much talked OF youngster who
had defeated all the lightweight boys
of Australia before coming to America.
keyes was beaten handily by Dick
Cullen. whom Tommy Murphy played
with.
Time wa. when Australia sent many
top notch fighters to this country Such
men as Peter Jackson, Bob Fitzsim-
mons, Creedon. Critic, the incompara-
he, and several others framed for
themselves an everlasting place In the
annals OF pugilism In recent years,
however, no one OF moment has come
forth.
Bill Squlres, whose name has been
proposed az a possible opponent to JEFF
fries, may be seen here shortly, but
there is reason TO believe that Squires
must show the American people some-
thing before he will be given a match
with the mighty jeff. The short end
OF a great purse would undoubtedly
be to Squires' liking. but 1t is doubtful
II he can secure a match with JefI
without first meeting some other prom

better We're he given a trial with the
winner Of the O'Brien-Burns battle be-
