- UFFALO has come to the front
lately with white hope who ap-
- pears to be above the average.
The new hope is George Davis, known
to some Of them as One Round Davis
and a good boxer like Jack Twin Sui
livan thinks wei OF the Buffalo man.
Jack has boxed Davis and knows
whereof he speaks. Writing Of the
newcomer. Jack Twin says:
This Davis looks very good to me.
He weighs about 100 pounds and is
wei built for a fighter. He is strong,
can take the gaff and knows how to
hit He is lacking in experience, but
you know that all of US have to go
through the same mill before we reach
the top. We are to box again in Bur-
falO and this time expect to make a
better showing against him. but you
can't always tell what viii happen
when you 60 against these fellows who
swing and have the kick in either hand.
I also met this Gunboat Smith. whom
they think is such a wonder, but
found him easier than Davis. Then next
time I meet Smith, II I do, it will be
easier game, as I have his number now
for sure"
The sudden return Of Dave Smith to
Australia rather surprised the fans OF
the east who expected to see the Aus
following his battle with Freddy
Hicks in Boston. Smith left Australia
about eight months ago and his pros
poets at that time seemed very bright
He landed in England at the worst sea-
son of the year for boxing and had to
wait around for some time before the
clubs opened up and, when they did,
Dave could not get busy owing to an
injury to his foot while in swimming
With this misfortune he headed for the
states and landed in New York, but
with little or no press notices. For
man with Smiths reputation. he was
certainly badly handled. He should
have had Battling Nelson as press
agent and there surely would have
been dOings around the vicinity OF
Broadway and 44th in New York.
Instead Of being matched with some
of the lesser lights for an Introduction
to the New York public, he was stacked
I'D against the toughest middleEge1ght
in the country-Eddie McGoorty. It
was a bad match and he met his Water
loo in the very first round, when the
Oshkosh boy bumped him with hard
straight left to the Jaw. Even after
this bad break. there was a chance
for the Australian still to make good,
but instead Of matching up with some
second raters, he left New York and
grabbed off couple Of minor matches
at Boston and Philadelphia From what
I saw Of Smith in Australia, he should
