Yankee Boxers In Australia
Gain Fame and Plan For Return

(By T. S Andrews. Special Cores
pondent.)
Sydney. Australia. Nov. 20.-The
fourth of the invading American box
ers-Ray Bronson, of indianapolis
made his appearance at the Stadium
last Wednesday night and added an
other victory to the Yankee string,
making four in succession. or rather
five, counting the win Bronson had at
Brisbane over Tommy Jones. Bronson
scored his second win this time de-
feating Sid Sullivan, the local $50
FOUNDER, the bout going the full 20
rounds, although several times Ray
had his man almost out, but did not
seem able to finish him. Sullivan
proved himself glutton for punish
ment and his powers of regeneration
were wonderful. His splendid condi-
ton was responsible for this, as oln-
erwise he would not have been able to
weather the storm in at least six
rounds.
The battle was one of the prettiest
seen here in which an American has
competed and was clean cut all the
way. Bronson was cheered on sew
eral occasions for his manly action in
not taking undue advantage over his
opponent when he had him in distress
There were no dissenting voices when
4
sons hand in token of victory at the
end of the goth round.
The match was at catch weights and
Bronson had a shade in the weights,
scaling at about 134h. and Sullivan
at 13O Sullivan was the shorter OF
the two, but very stocky.
Pleasure to Watch Bronson.
ut is a pleasure to watch splen-
did young athlete like Ray Bronson at
Drf4c
who manages the large hotel at sir
Joseph Banks place at Botany Bay,
while discussing the merits of boxers
and athletes the other day. In fact
I should add" said Mrs. Prizes, that
all the American boys here are thor
ough gentlemen and might better be
taken for young professional men Of
business than boxers. The same COM
pliment can be extended to James Clab-
by and Johnny Thompson, two of Mr..
Bronson's partners. We have had many
athletes of all kinds train here for
various events, but I must say that
none Of them ever made the splendid
impression that these boys have, and I
am proud of every one of them
1t will be interesting to many Ameri-
cans TO know that Mrs. Pries's daugh-
ter, Doreathea, is welded to Frank
Busch, of the Anheuser- Busch Brew
ing Co., or L.. LOUIS, MO.
Australians May Come.
1t is very probable that the United
States will be invaded by two teams
of Australian footballists within year
or So A movement has been on foot
here for some time to send 70 the states
two teams of school boys to demon
strate the practica bility of the Aus
tralian hand and foot game for the
schools over in America The game
here is very popular, both with school
teams and adults, and crowds of from
10000 to $4,000 turn out to see the
big games. The Australian game is
different from the league Rugby or
National Union, which has been in
troduced into the California and Le-
land Stanford colleges. being very free
from mass plays, the players using only
their hands and feet. 1t is very fast,
though, and pleasing.
UnhOiz May Retire.
Rude Unholz, the pleasing and en-
PERTAINING lightweight of the states,
formerly of South Africa, may retire
from the game, but there will still be
q representative of that name in the
fighting game. Rudie has a brother
George who Is just % years of age,
and who is a fairly clever lightweight.
He has been groomed by Rude for the :
past year and was given a good tryout |
some time ago against a tough Gus
toner, whom he defeated in Is rounds. |
Rude says his days in the ring are /
about over and he intends to go into |
business at Davenport, Iowa, or some |
other place when he returns, although |
he may have couple more bouts be- 1
fore bidding the arena goodbye He !
expects to visit New Zealand shortly |
and have a contest there and then leave /
for the stars and stripes.
