A REAL SCRAPPER
w. w. NaughtOn Says Squires

traIian Is Not a False Alarm.

Comes to America With Money
Behind His Challenges.
Looks Like He Is Quick ON His
Feet as a Cat.

san Francisco. April 29.-w. w.
Naughton says:
This Bill Squires affair has hui
morous side to it The Australian is
in. the full swing of preparation over
at Shannon's resort. near San Rafael
and yet has no particular match or
date in view.
He is in training against time, as it
were. He is trying out the California
climate and if it treats him kindly he
may be able to inform the promoters
within a week or two how soon he will
consider it safe to accept his first ring
engagement
So far as can be judged Squires is
not worrying about public opinion or
percentages or purses or anything in
that line. His first care apparently is
to be sure that Bill Squires is as
formidable in California as in Austria
liza. He does not care how many holt
days and how many chances of big
gates may pass. He wants to feel that
he is all there and then he will be
content to take things as they come.
1t has. been suggested that as
Squires is such a thoroughly unknown
quantity he should submit to a trying
out before asking the public to pur-
chase tickets for his first enga cement.
1t has been instanced that most of the
Australian fighters who came here
ring.
The fact that most of the Australian
fighters came here unheTalded is lost
sight of. They landed here without
any particular recommendation and
they had to submit to the trying out
process to prove that they were worthy
of engagements
Squires is Endorsed by the Australian
sporting press as the undiSputed cham
pion of that far country. He has for
g hacker one of the weathiest sport
ing men at the antipodes, and he has

maker Wren is to receive the benefit of
providing odds. The five thousand
held by the Examiner is a side bet
that Squires will defeat the winner of
the Burns-O'Brien fight. 1t is up to
be bet, dollar against dollar and on
the score that money talks it is con-
elusive proof that the Australians
think they are sending pretty good
ring man.
All things considered it looks as
though Squires can scott at the propo-
sition that he consents to be tried out
at least until his $4,000 are covered.
Squires is as much of a stranger to
the writer as he is to the other Amer
lean sDortsmen who met him on his
arrival and who have seen him at
work since, but I am free to confess
He has the regulation "scrapper's
dial" towit, the square jaw, the de-
termined mouth and the deep set eyes.
I don't believe I ever saw a piece of
there was SO little waste material I'll
be bound that when seen in action he
will show that he is quick, relentless
and hard hitting.
There is just one thing am wonder
ing about, and guess I'll have to see
Bill Squires deep in the actual turmoil
of a scrap before I can CLEAN any in
formation on the point. I'd like to
know who he assimilates. I can see
by his looks that he is game TO the
core and that he has great driving
powers imagine he will be as quick
on his feet as a cat.
But his earmarks are the earmarks
of fellow who jumps close and in
vites trouble, and I'd like to know how
he bears the brunt of brushing ex-
changes.
We have had hard punchers in this
country-men like Peter Maher and
Joe Choynski, for instance-who could
inf1ict terrible punishment, but who
could not bear comparatively light
taps in return. Fighters with glass
jaws, the slang-mongers call them. If
Squires' jaw is as durable as Tom
Sharkey's used to be and he has the
faculty of pulling himself together and
sailing in again after receiving a
numbing smash. I can see all kinds of
trouble ahead for the American heav-
les who stand between the Australian
and the worlds chamniOnShin.

dence in himself. Hughes led the
Southern league last season winning a
percentage Of .833 of his games.
The following regarding Nick Kahl
is from the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
From baseball player to Sunday
school teacher is the most remarka bic
Kahl was last year playing with
Cleveland, when he was struck in the
head by a batted ball and rendered un-
conscious. For weeks after this he was
in a precarious condition, and when
he finally recovered sufficiently to
play, he was unable to remain in the
fast company of the Cleveland team.
Accordingly he was farmed out to
Leavenworth. AT the end of the sea-
son he was signed by Columbus.
After the season of 1905 has closed,
Nick Kahl did most asto unding thing
he became converted, Joined a
church and before the winter was over
had enlisted in the corps of Christian
workers and had become Sunday
school teacher at Coulterville. Ill.
From this time on it was % for base
ball SO far as Nick Kahl was concern
ed.
Kahls new avocation is the more re-
markable when it is taken into con-
sideration that during the balrny days
of the diamond he was one of the
all the vast world of fandom could set
a pace with which Nick Kahl could
not keep up.
If he makes as good a Sunday school
teacher as a ball player, he will be
success.
