Shea, and he never felt the same

the same conscientious ball.

| Walter Johnson is off on another
| long string of victories, He has wor
eleven straight so far, which equals
the seasons mark made by his team
mate, Joe Boehling, who, by the way
since he lost his first game, also fol-
lowed up his tough luck with tive
more defeats.
Jim Flynn is SO serious in his
training methods for his fight with
Gunboat Smith tomorrow night at
Madison Square Garden that he has
won over a large following to his
side of the house. Smith, however,
is sure to be the favorite, for the
simple reason that he has displayed
the better form. Flynn, no doubt,
will get his usual licking and dis
play his notorious gameness, but that
he will beat the Gunboat is not like
w. The fight should be a fierce and
interesting one, and all the talk
would seem to indicate a large crowd.
Australia and Australians are gain
ing a big name for themselves in a
sporting way the world over. Not
long ago McVilly, an amateur oars
man. captured the Diamond Souls
in England, and for years the pro-
fessional rowing championship was
held by Arnst, who is also an Aus
tralian. In the sporting news of the
day. every now and then, Austria
lians loom up as foremost foemen.
Right here in Newark there is evil
denoe that from the Antipodes come
bicycle riders of sterling quality. In
our town at present there are some
thing like ten men who can hold
their own the world over In any
thing from a short sprint to long,
six-day grind. In fact, the number
of speedy Australians is so amazing
that 1t Is almost a certainty that the
next American champion, and worlds
champion, too, perhaps, will be an
Australian.
AS patnonizers of sporting affairs,
Australians, 1t Is claimed, can't be
beat. over in Sydney and in Mel
bourne, crowds of from 10000 to $4,000
persons will turn out to witness big
sporting event. One Of the most en-
thusiastic boosters for the Antipodes
Ia Joe Woodman, manager of Sam
Langford. the colored fighter, both
of whom spent two<years In the land
of the kangaroo. Woodnan Is
quoted as saying that the boxing
game Is good over there. but that
Hugh Mcintosh, the promoter, Is
running 1t into the ground. He de-
clares that although Langford and
Sam McVey fought seven times, the
last bout drew $4,000. The small
fights, Woodman says, draw from
$4,000 to $4,000. These are held on
Wednesday nights. The big bouts
are hAd on Saturday nights and
attract from $4,000 to $4,000. "Of
course" Woodman declares, accord
ing to dispatch. Contests between
the very best men drew tremendous
crowds and big money. There isn't
any boxing talent over there. either"
Woodman goes on to say. Their
best man is Jack Read, who is now in
this country He can fight some. He
beat Hook Keys, Frank Picato and
Grover Hayes, and should do well
over here"
G
Woodman, of course, feels as if
Langford is a much-abused boxer,
and he is going to make a big play
to get Sam match with Jack John
son. First, though, he is willing to
have Langford fight Joe Jeanette or
any of the good white men. AS soon
as Langford gets through with jean
nette, Woodman plans to take him
over to Europe and there drive
Johnson to cover or force him into
match. That is the way Manager
Woodman is talking, and this same
Woodman is some hustler at that.
