Little Interest Evidenced

Weight Fighters
CIV w. w. Naugbfon)


weight pugilists are out of style, at
least for the time being. Possibly the
fact that Jack Johnson and a few
other dusky-skinned men are on top of
the heap, has something TO do with
the public,s indifference toward the
big fellows. But whether such is the
case or not, it is noticed that the pro-
moters are not reaching out fer heavy
weight cards, and the promoters are
supposed to keep finger on the pub
lie pulse.
Some idea of the manner in which
heavyweight talent is being sighted
can be CLEANED from the experiences Of
Jim Flynn and Carl Morris This pair
have been hunting a battle ground for
months and there is grave doubt even
now as to whether they have found
one.
Australia Likes Them.
Hugh Mcintosh, the Australian pro-

have a whole herd of American heavies
in sydney before Christmas. Possibly

Brown Has Many Matches.
Knockout Browns manager, Dan
Morgan. in declining a Los Angeles
offer to match his man against Freddie
WEIGH, said that Brown had a dozen
contests to look forward to in the next
two months. and that he would box
WEIGH later. In the slang Of yester-
years. that's going some The ques-
