Looking for Easy Money.

ENGLAND Is bubhliug WITH onthusi-
ssm over BombarIipr Wells. an
Ensiisis heavyweight. and all be-
cause Wells won a decision aver
'purky' Flynn. Tho London papers
mn column after column about the
great battle" and magnificent VIE
,o,v England Is very. WHY proud. In
fact, some OF the writer's intimate that
having beaten che great American
he, vyweight'' Wells Is nov next in llnc
ypr A fight with lack Johnson.
.porky" Flynn. ! believe. Is n local
heavyweight who did some fShting M
around Boston before going 20 England
With Sam Langfprd.
ENGLAND u unfortunate enough 10
be forced 10 judge our boxers by
- a score OF second-raters who take
the trip across to look for easier marks
than they can find In this country
There are only two or three exceptions.
Harry Lewis and bangford are top
notchers in their classes. Jack Burns
,"Salinas Jack) was introduced TO the
Tnglshmen as q wondcr-one of the
best fshteys IN America. He kept up
the losing Streak that always followed
hIm in this country and was knocked
GU, twice in two nights. Bill Lang OF
Australia was advertised extensively
in England. and the promoters claimed
for Bin that only q broken arm pre-
vented him from knocking out Al kani-
man. That was a Joke. OF course. 20
any one who saw that hght in Phila-
delphia. But It went in England. And
BUu lost two lights. No wonder the
English are beginning 20 grow enthusi-
astic over even Bombardier Wells.

md Moran in July. Is cutting out a
bu,v sea son. Frankie Burns Is a
dangerous lightweight. Also. 1t must
he remembered. the lightweight
rlon has made an engagement with one
Round Hogan for April, here In New
York.
II wouldn't he overwhelmingly sur
prlsing II Wolgast dropped that tue
Of his somewhere along the line. iio-
gan might easily drop over one or
his famous "~one-round" punches, and
thered be a new champion right then
and there. Frankie Burns OF Oak
land is another possible winner OF the
honor. Perhaps Moran Will never get
a chance to night Wolgast for the cham
pionship at all.
ON the other hand. II Wolgast does
manage 10 clean up this bunch every
body will have TO admit that he isn't
really a cheese champion in spite of
bat eNlson's 1Yy-so.
r OGAN says that he has grown ac-
customed TO the cold weather
here now. n that he rather
likes Il. III thinks New York isn't such
a bad place TO train in after all.
Wait until the first not day strikes
this part OF the country. Hogan will
ind out something new about our
climate. In San Francisco, where he
comes from. they never see snow in
the winter. and there are no hot days
tn summer. Because OF the Ice cold
Japan Current that turns IN the Arctic
and sweeps down along the Pacific
Coast, and the trade winds. II Sc al
ways cool IN san Francisco, "A heavy
overcoat can be worn with comfort
after shutdown any night IN the sum
mcr. When July comes along Hogan,
81 ne stays here, will thinks he's in an
oven. He won't have any trouble maxi
