Rude Unholz, the little Boer light
weight who made quite a hit I'm the
United States two years ago when he
fought Battling Nelson a draw at Los
is still in Australia, but intends
returning to the states after Christmas.
Rudie's wife is at Davenport, Iowa, and
he expects to join her soon after the new
year and settle down and become a real
citizen of the states. He has been sue
cessful out here, except in his last fight
with Johnny Summers, the English light
weight, whom he lost to in nine rounds.
1t was unfortunate that Unholz went into
the bout UNIT, for he had just escaped
death by asphy xiation five weeks prefi-
ously, when his brother George and him.
self were overcome by gas in the board
ing house where they stopped. 1t took
the doctors over five hours to bring Rude
back to life, and at one time they prac-
tically gave up all hope. 1t left the Boer
in poor shape and he should not have
gone into the fight with Summers. Now
that the American boys are here Rude
hopes to get on at the stadium with
either Ray Bronson or Cyclone Thomp-
son, and after the contest lie Will leave
for home At present Rude is training
at KatOomba, a resort In the mountains
about sixty miles from here, ana o.Wu
feet above sea level. 1t is beautifui
spot, and was where Tommy BURNS uiu
much of his training.
1t seemed like home for some OF the
bows when they landed here, for the nrst
person to greet them was Unholz. Rudie
was perched on a big box at the emo OIL
the wharf and yelling his lungs out Try
ing to make the Americans take notice;
FINALLY. they caught sight of Rude ana
the exchange of greetings was mutual.

Before leaving Australian shores Johh-
nv Summers was rendered a reception at
Rateman's Hotel, and all the Americans
were there to wish him a safe trip home
He was presented with a beautiful IN
scribed memento with the words Light

and the Americans.
Jimmy Clabby, the Milwaukee welter-
weight champion, is a pretty smart
young man at home and up to all the
tricks of the trade. but 1t remained Tor
a Sydney youth to show him new one.
Jeems was standing in front of the Bate
man Hotel the other afternoon when a
sporty looking young man approached
and whispered:
Want to buy a diamond cheap. pard?'
Sure" said Jimmy. "Wot you got?'
Its in pawn" said the youth but
il you come over to the pawn shop you
can see it,
Jimmy has a liking for the brilliants
and followed the youth to the pawn shop,
where he asked to see the precious stones.
Nothing doing unless you pay the in
terest which is $50, said the sales
man, whose countenance reminded one
of State street jeweler in Chicago.
Jimmy dug down and forked over SOD
and the man brought forth the diamond
pin How much?" said the Milwaukee
boy

the youth.
Jimmy looked wise and said, Nothing
