Grover Hayes Will Make Attempt
To Land the Lightweight Title
Many Fighters Are Planning Participate
Papke VIII Capitol

ROVER HAYES. the clever Chi
cago lightweight, has decided
to pake the trip to Australia
with his manager Willard Stuart of
Columbus, O., and make play for the
lightweight tournament which Hugh
D. Mcintosh will stage during the com
ing winter season in Sydney, or rather
summer season for Australia There
are several good lightweights in the
Antipodes now, even without the cham
pion, Hughey Michigan, and besides
there will be a few French and English
boys there by the time Grover arrives.
One Of the important battles Hayes
will probably have will be with Paul
Til the French lightweight, who was
formerly a star featherweight- Til has
developed into a good boy and will be
hard to beat, it may be, too, that
Freddy Welsh will find his way to Aus
tralia and Battling Nelson is now con-
sidering an offer to go. Jack BrittOn
is another American lightweight who
may go over and Willie Richie has
stated that he might go over a little
later. Hayes has made a remarkably
good showing the last year and a half
and is Just as much entitled to a go
with Wolgast for the championship as
any Of them. Grover has held his own
with all the stars of the east and has
beaten most of them. His last battle
with Freddy Walsh, the former British
champion. was a fast one, and showed
Hayes to be at his best Ie is expected
that Michigan will return home before
the season ends so that Hayes will get
a crack at the Australian title. Grover
is due to sail from San Francisco, Au-
gust q.

weight. who has fought sam Langford

heavyweights in the east may travel

Dime, but wants to go over badly and
meet both Langford and McVea as he
feels he can hold his own and get
more money there than in the states.

Flynn will have to divest his mind Of

gained in confidence if he has not

And he has developed a Fortnight

invention
He thought it likely to be used to great advantage
in naval and coast work, including the life saving
service, for mail and light express; to put belated
passengers aboard ship and take off those in hurry
to land.
He suggested it will soon be common enough for
the tired business to pull his desk step into his
hydro-aeroplane and skim the blue waters or
through the air to his summer home in the noun
