Australian Promoter Is Aroused
Baker Answers Moran's Charges

Moran expressed himself pleased
with the contest and was very
confident OF handing a dream
punch to the American boy.
Well, on opening this mornings
papers you can imagine my sur
prise to see that he and his wife
had left for San Francisco by the
Sonoma. Evidently one Of the
press men down at the boat saw
him and asked what he was do
ing. Moran said he did not think
there was enough money for him
in Australia, and also that he was
dissatisfied with the decision in
his contest with Wells. His eX-
cuse about the money had abso-
lutely no ground, as in his three
contests it is practically certain
that he would at least have dou-
bled his guaranty that he had
asked for himself and which | had
consented to.
The house at the Moran Wells
contest was not good one, and
the reason was this: | had fixed
and advertised the prices at s. to
10 cents. A day or so after these
prices had been advertised Moran
held me up and said that unless
the prices We're raised to $40 and
sl.25 he would not fight
Pal Brown Popular Hero.
And what was the result? PeO-
pie who had an idea that Moran
was all in and would not con-
slider the high prices just kept
away. Moran. however made
good impression, and, while a few
OF the papers thought that the de-
Cision was correct, others held
that Moran should have got il.
But | do not think that his excuse
of decision against him was at all
the reason for his sudden unher-
aided and totally unexpected de
parture. He would have been in
for heap Of money in his contest

Coombs, one of the star pitchers of
the Philadelphia American League
club. will be one sixteenth of an inch
shorter in stature by reason of the
illness that kept him out of the game

By w. w. Naughton.

~ AN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24.-In the
past good many American
pugilists who visited Australia
returned with narrowing tales of the
unfair treatment they received at tho
hands of Hugh d. Mcintosh. Natur-
ally these stories, whether true, false
or merely highly colored, had to go
uncontradicted for a long time. 1t
took a couple of months sometimes
for the newspapers containing the
complaints to reach Australia and as
long for McIntosh's side of the case
to reach here.
This placed Mcintosh in an unen-
viable position, as by the time he was
heard from the charges made against
him had had the effect 1t was intend
ed they should have.
An Australian sporting man known
as Snowy" Baker took over Mcln-
tosh's business and for a while no
rumors Of unjust treatment of visit
ing boxers were sent broadcast, Re
Gently, however Baker was placed in
the same light as Mcintosh by owen
Moran, who arrived in San Francisco
from sydney about week ago.
Moran said he had been misled in
regard to the financial terms and had
been compelled to box at weight
much bigger than he had agreed to
before he left England for Australia.
What stuck in Moran's Craw more
than his other wrongs was the feeling
that he had got the worst of it, when
the referee gave the decision against
him in his fight with Matt Wells at
Bakers arena near sydney.
Baker Tells of Flight
Moran left sydney without bidding
Baker good bye, and when Baker
heard of Owens going he sat down
and wrote a letter to the writer. II
will be noticed that Baker does not
touch upon some Of the points mem
toned by owen Moran in his COM
plant, but this is eNplainable on the
basis that Baker did not know just
what Moran could have to say when
he reached this side Here is Bakers
side OF II;

Looks like a fairly easy problem.
Virginia doesn't beat Georgetown by
