MINTOSH IS
BRANCHING OUT

1t will not be surprising to hear OF
Hugh d. Mcintosh, the Australian
promoter of the big boxing events,
coming to the states this summer and
getting into the game at New York,
according to advices at hand. Some
well known sporting men of New
York have taken the matter up and
have gone so far as to ask the Aus
tralian promoter to become interested
in the New York end, the supposi-
ton being that Mr.. Mcintosh will
bring over some of the stars from the
Antipodes, so that they could be
shown in the metropolis. The fact
that Mcintosh ha sarranged some Of
the biggest boxing events in the
world and has had a clean record all
through is probably what induced the
Eastern sporting men to extend an
Invitation to him to visit the states
and become financially interested. 1t
is not known how some of the boxing
promoters in New York would take
to the entrance of an outsider, but as
the law there bars no one with good
reputation it would no doubt be all
wight for the Australian, should he de-
eide to come over and enter the field
It was Mr.. Mcintosh who stirred
things up in England when he went
as an outsider and put on shows on
q scale the Britishers did not dream
Of before, He was also wise enough
TO keep his hands off the Wells-John-
son affair, for he felt that it could not
be held there He also has interests
IN Paris, so that A. he should get into
the game in New York he would have
q worldwide circuit, with interests in
London, Paris, New York and Aus
tralia. A boxer being boxed for his
circuit would have some trip ahead
and no mistfk Ike.

JOKE ATHLETIC RECORDS ARE
CREATED BY CHEAP WATCHES

The San Francisco Chronicle has
the following very pertinent article
on "clocking," which should be read
with interest and profit in Honolulu,
where there is, as elsewhere,
marked tendency to magnify every
good athletic performance into a rec
ord-breaking one:
In this wonderful age of record
breaking so forcibly demonstrated
during the recent track and field meets
at Stanford and the University of Cal.
ifornia, comment has been forthcom-
ing in deploring the inability of sprint
ers to lower long established marks in
the 100 and 22O-yard dashes
From some sources this condition is
considered a grand testimonial to the
conservative officials who have guard
ed the athletic reputation o. the COM
munity, while others enthusiastic in
their aspirations charge the poore re-
suits in the sprints to the overzealous
timers.
Whatever may be the true situation
the management of the recent inter.
collegiate meet at Stanford narrowly
missed sending out one of the joke
records which have so often discred.

their result being announced. 1t was
only after a consultation in cooler
moments that the absurdity of 0:09 4-5
was appreciated.
An examination of the watches used
by the five timers revealed an array
of timepieces as widely different as

about three weeks being left in which

There is a lot of work to be done in
