MCINTOSH WILL PUT THROUGH
HIS DEALS IN ANTIPODES
Fight Promoter Is Not Broke, as Rurnor
Has Had 1t Other Gossip
of the Boxers

IMcVey is here and should prove a big
card I expected Sam Langford and Joe
Woodman over also. could use good
lightweight over here, for there are sew
eral fine matches in sight for one. Al
Kaufman signed contract. but has seen
fit to break IT, which is big mistake.
! for he would have made a great deal of
money here. 1 hope to get over to the
states after the present season ends, and
| will then show some of the detractors
whether l am broke or not. / am glad
to see the game legaliZed. In New YORK
| and hope the promoters will be sensible
and keep the game clean and build 1t up.
The PARKWAY Australian country must
| have made big hit with the American
boxers who were there last season. with
| the possible exception of Billy Papke.
| for every one Of them wants to get back
again. Jimmy Clabby has gone back
under fine contract, and has taken MS
younger brother. who is good 13O-pound-
dianapolis would like to go also: in fact,
If Ray can make the right ind of a
bargain he is ready to start this fall
Now comes Cyclone Johnny Thompson
for the antipodes. When Johnny first
landed in Sydney he said he would count
the days when he could get back to the
L. S. A. but he had not been back mere
three months when he was planning
trip back to Australia. Johnny has signed
a contract to fight six bouts for hugh
d. Mcintosh. and will leave with his wife
and two children from Vancouver NoVem-
Der /, reaching there just before Christ-
mas and in time for the big contests
Milwaukee has turned out many boxers
OF class the past ten years. but now that
the game is stopped for time there may
be let-up in the production of stars
However. the local Iads keep training
away and seem to have plenty of offers.
Freddy Andrews and Eddie Greenwald,
two of the best 126-pOunders. have signed
for half dozen fights each in New Or
leans and have gone south to- try and
make their fortunes. They will be I'M
der the mana cement of Harry Stout
while in the south and will take on all
the boys of their class in the south.
Angel Izzo, another Milwaukee boy. Is
there and still another is expected to
join the colony before long. Bob Moha
may go south for bout later on and
Eddie McGoorty, the Oshkosh boy. will
have a twenty-round battle there before
long.
The English boxers-Billy Marchant and
Sid Smith-who left London this week
for the states under the direction OF
VIII E. Ames. are due to arrive i'll New
York October -. They are being matched
in different parts of the country. but
their principal object in coming over Is
to get after Abe AttelI for Marchant and
Johnny Coulon for Smith. Smith can cas-
lily do H. pounds. but Will give away
three to four pounds to any of them. His
bout in London last week against much
heavier opponent was classed as one of
the best ever seen there. Smith displayed
remarkable cleverness and speed.
Marchant is also being boosted for his
great cleverness, and he will have a
chance to show it against some good
boys here. among them Jimmy Walsh at
Boston, in all probability. and Tommy
Dixon at Kansas City, besides Charlie
White or some of the feathers at New
Orleans. The New Orleans club also
wants Smith to meet frankie Burns and
Johnny Daily. and wind up with a Johnny
Coulon match. which would be for the
worlds championship.
Pal Brown, the Minnesota whirlwind,
who has been making good at New Or
leans by his defeat of Joe Thomas and
Sammy Trott will probably be matched
to meet the winner of the Saylor- Mandot
bout, which takes place early next month
Brown wants to meet his namesake-
Knockout Brown-later on. and will go
to New York for that purpose after fin
ishing his contract down south. He is
fast developing into lightweight. weigh
ing about 1870 pounds now. Sammy Trott.
the Columbus BOY, whom Brown defeat
ed, wants another try at Pal and offers
to meet him on w1nner-taka-an basis
over the twenty-rOund route. That is
where Pal shined up north. for the mara
thon distance was what he liked, so
Sammy had better be careful about the
long route
Bob Moha. who has had more matches
called off the past year than any other
boxer, is about to have a bout at last.
He has been practically matched to meet
Billy Papke in Boston around the first
of November, and. take il from me- the
s1uatty brewery boy will keep Billy busy.
