 his manager, Farley Reynolds, ar
 rived in port Tuesday night aboard the steamship Ventura, which, by tht way, arrived too late to dock unti
 morning. Local reporters boarded the vessel immediately and found tllt stocky Antipodean willing but mod
 est talker. Squires, mulied in ~ I
 frieze ulster and wearing Il jaunty
 plaid cap, was Il conspicuous figure
 on the promenade deck.
 "Ow the ell are you?' was his greeting. He has pronounced Cock
 ney accent I'm glad to be 'ere,' he
 added. Hand it's q bloomin' pity
 that l cawn't leave this packet till
 morning.
 'Ow do the boys talk about me
 'ereT'
 Squires and Reynolds both appear ed surprised at the interest they have created and the former showed much embarrassment when undergoing tue wholesale snapshotting ordeal.
 At first sight he is not impressive, being built on Sharkey lines, but more 1.-the and agile. Eddie Smith, the referee, saw him stripped and in ac. tion yesterday afternoon at a local gymnasium and pronounced him a marvel of quickness. Not a muscle bound like Sharkey, he is much shorter than our heavyweights, but has remarkably broad, slOping shoul- ders, powerful chest and freaky, long arms and short bowed legs.
 He has clear eyes, broad forehead, regular featuresfthat are clear and ab- solutely unmarked. The sports all greed that he might be bottled-u lighting. Reply to first question Squires denied that he sidestepped Jack Johnson.
 My original object in coming over here was to take on the winner of the Burns-O'Brien fight. If either of these two funk at their coming battle, T am ready to take his place at mo ment's notice. I am always in condi- tion. My weight when boarding the steamer was 175 pounds and I don't think have lost any on the trip over'
 When Squires landed in the morn- ing he immediately posted a $5,OOO forfeit with Eddie Smith, sporting edi- tor of the Oakland Tribune. to meet any of the heavyweights that the pro moters Of the clubs will match him With. Squires, however, very noticc- ably refrained from mentioning Jef Tries name during the day. He seems 10 have changed his mind about talk ing on Burns or O'Brien at a mo. ments notice and wants to look around bit and become accllmated. when Informed that he would be of. lered match with Tommy Burns. the fight to take place at Colma. May 3o, he said he would not be ready to ngnt on that day as he had decided that he required more time to get into condition. z. James Flynn, of Pueblo, CoL. last night knocked out George Gardner. Of Lowell, Mass, in the 18th round in San Diego. Cal. The fight was heavy slugging match throughout with frequent clinches. The knockout blow was a terrible jolt in the stomach.
 Abe Attell, the featherweigbt cham plon, 0utpointed and outfought Tom- my OT0ole, the featherweight cham. plon Of Pennsylvania last night i'm their slx.round fight before the National A c., Philadelphia. Attell did all tbe leading and jabbed O'Toole all over me ring. and tearing rights and lefts 10 the body when the Pennsylyania champion came in to close quarters OToole seemed to be afraid to lead to Attell and did very little lighting at long yange.
