Australian Comes to America

/ his control Maybe. n his reception lacks
cordiality. he win move on TO London,
Paris or some other fight-fostering center
and carry the wandering stars Of the
arena with him.
As rule Mcintosh goes through with
any plans he maps out and now that ne
has declared himself IN connection with
a big season. in New York, he Is not
likely to abandon tho idea He was
deemed foolish for bucking "the fight
trust" as the National Sporting club of
London Is called. but he worked his way
into the big English metropolis and han
died some OF the most important boxing
matches ever held there. Whether he
made money or not is a mooted question.
The point am making is that he is not
easlly thrust aside.
Just how he expects to conduct q 'Tbig
season" in New York does not appear,
and II almost looks as though the Aus
tralian fight handler is not conversant
with conditions In the east. With Mad
ison Square Garden closed to promoters
by order OF the commission, and with
open air boxing and picture taking barred
1t does not seem as though New York
offers much to the Antipodean sports
man, unless II is that he intends to build
a rooted arena Of his own.
Mcintosh, If he cares, win surely bring
some OF the best OF the Australian ring
men with him in addition to any Ameri-
cans that may return with him. Among
the Australians, no doubt, will be Hughis
Michigan and Dave Smith. The first
named is the lightweight champion OF
kangaroo land, and according to all ac-
counts he is the best that country has
produced since the days Of George Daw-
son and Shadow Maber.
Michigan, it is said. can make 1888 pounds
without trouble. so that II he comes he
will be in line for a championship go with
Ad Wolgast OF who ever happens TO be
the custodian Of the lightweight laurels
at that time.
A glance at Mehgan's record, by the
way. reveals the fact that he lost once
to Rude Unhols In two ROUNDS, while ths
latter was doing the best he could for
himself out Sidney way. But. then the
explanation is forthcoming that Michigan
broke his arm and was forced to desist.
the damage to the crack Australians rep
utation does not seem to be so disastrous.
Dave Smith is the middleweight who de-
feated Billy Papke and was defeated in
turn by the Kewanee slugger. He is
well spoken Of by the Australian critics
and he is evidently fighter who could
be depended upon to give a good account
OF himself with such men as Klaus. Nc

OF course, outside the Americans there Is

Sam Langford, Jimmy Clabby, Cyclone

doubt, to hit the out trsil' for Australia.
'Trhe season in Australia closes in
April, when the winter months begin.
Boxing is conducted after that in small
halls and theaters, but there are no bis

Athletics Claim |
Championship Of
Their Class Here

Undefeated in two years by q local
amateur team, the Athletics for the Sec
ond successive season lay claim to the
junior, or 140-pound, foot ball champion
ship Of the city.
Last season this husky bunch of young
sters went through the season without
being scored upon, while they totaled UP
142 points on their opponents.
This season they were not so fortunate.
While still undefeated by a local team,
they were scored on twice, once by the
Sherman Avenue Merchants and once by
the Monmouth Park Reserves. Several
out of town games were played, but in
each of these the Athletics were SO heav
lily outweighed that the showing they
made was credited more as a victory
than as a reverse.
Next season the Athletics viii be In the
field again with stronger lineup than
ever. Under the captainship of John
Haxen they expect to return victors In
their class for the third successive
season.

NEW YORK. Dec. se.--The plans OF
the American olympic committee for the
representation OF this country at Stock
holm next summer by the largest ath-
ietlo and amateur sport team ever as
sembied have evidently made a strong
Impression abroad and not without
reason.
The record made by the American ath-
letes in the olympiads OF the past is too
we'll known to require repetition, Yet
the very excellence OF these performances
requires that the standard be maintained
In 1872, and this task grows harder at
each International meeting. since the
other competing countries are constantly
striving TO equal the record OF tho ath-
letes from this country. thus forcing a
faster and higher standard OF competi-
tion ON track and field.
That the American committee reaaixas
this is proved by the preparations being
made for next summer. According 20 the
latest plans the United States track and
field team will comprise close TO 1T ath-
letes. representing the best performers on
their respective specialtes throughout the
