captions. Let me inquire if Battling Nelson had a punch or if Ad Vol. East has one now. The answer is no in both cases. Who did Wolgast ever knock out. and he is champion He couldn't even put Nelson to the mat once when they fought. About Nelson. He wasn't pos sesSed of the knockout punch. He had number of knockouts. but one 'slipover' didn't cause them. first before he could flatten them, and the Battler was always wear ing down an opponent"
 They say Moran cant hit" mild. ly yentured the writer Who said he couldn't hit?" snapped Harvey. Why, that's the general impress sion," was the reply. "I didn't know there was such an impression" came back Harvey. owen couldn't have kicked Nelson cold if he weren't able to hit. Neither would he have killed Tommy Mccarthy. Moran can hit good enough for me. Anyway. 10 be a champion it is not compul- Sory that man have a K. o. wal Top. If you cut a man to pieces he is ready for you to put away. isn't he? You wear him down and you've got him. A fair punch will do the business. Of course, some men can stand more punishment than others. But | guess they1l all fall in time if you're fresh yourself. even if you can't hit hard. Very few of those single K. o. jolts in no g1accpc tpday'
 NEW YORK, Feb. 1. = T have seen many prizefghts in my time. '' said man who has just gotten back from London. but the one be- tween Gunner Moir and Bombardier Wells was the funniest in my eXper- cnce.
 Hugh Macintosh. the Australian. and our own Jimmy Britt are run ming a high-Class fighting exhibition business over there, and the big hall back of the skating rink at the Olympia was packed with fully coco people-lords and dukes and coun- tesseS and duChesses, and the big best kinds of swells, who had put Fup at least two guineas (s1O.5O) a seat. al least the most of them. Wells was the undefeated champion. so-called. and a 20-round contest was scheduled. In the first round Wells jabbed the Gunner one with his left and knocked him down, and he was so long getting up that people began to leave the hall. In the second round both men were down. with the referee counting, and neither got up on time. Then, in the first minute of the third, Wells was knocked out The whole battle was over in ten minutes. It would be good thing if lot of our pri2e-fghters who are always knock ing al each other in the newspapers would go over and do some real work
 Indications are that George Gray. the young Australian. will dominate English billiards for years to come as John Roberts did in the past The London Times states that Grays easy victory in his match with F. Diegle, his first contest with an acknowledged frst-rate profes- sional must have convinced most people that he has the championship hl fHSllSn DlllldluS al HIS HltItN '. The final scores were: Gray. 5000; Diggle 3S23; and the winner of this historic match, after setting up new record" by finishing a break of 1900 (S94 and 297 off the red balD. surpassed it by increasing an unfinished break to IBIS 1,314 off the red and 2S7 losing hazards into the middle pockets). The foolish notion that the young Australian. who is the pattern of imperturbabil- ity, would be handicapped by stage fright when opposed to player of the first class was confuted by the logic of circumstances. Stevenson is anxious to meet him in cham piOnship match, and it is much to he hoped that so sporting an af- fair will be eventually arranged when Gray's business engagements are concluded.
