Australian Promoter Is Aroused
Baker AnsWersM oran'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 1t is practically certain
that he would at least have dou-
bled his guaranty that he had
asked for himself and which l had
consented to.
The house at the Moran Wells
contest was not a good one, and
the reason was this; / had fixed
and advertised the prices at IS to
rs cents. A day or so after these
prices had been advertised Moran
held me up and said that unless
the prices were raised to $40 and
$l.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 it.
But l 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
with Brown and would have, as I
said before, at least doubled his
guaranty
In the past certain boxers who
have not been the goods. and con-
eSQuCHNlN nave not IldQ6 MUCH
money out here, went back to
American soil and said everything
that is bad about Australia. So
in Justice TO the country which
contains some Of the best sports
in the world and where big money
is always waiting for good, honest
and clean boxers, send you along
the above in case there is any
kick" coming from Moran.

~HlCAGo. Nov. 24.--ln spite of

past few weeks there is a feel
ing in the air that prophesies the fact
that the indoor golf season is at hand.
There are golfers who play outdoors
until the ground sports a wide. deep

on the contrary. fly indoors at the
first suggestion OF cold, but whether

Of summer golfers console themselves

us as very peculiar when George
O'Neil and Walter Fovargue started

a school, for its real object was 10

Of his first efforts, The indoor player

Illness of COombs
Affects His Height

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 24.-John
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
all last season. This fact was es-
tablished when an Y ray photograph
OF his spine was taken at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania.
Coombs is not sitting up short
time each day and expects soon to be
taken to his farm in Maine. The
doctors say he will gain strength and
that next year he will be as good as
ever as a pitcher.

By w. w. Naughton.

~ AN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24.-In the
past a good many American
pugilists who visited Australia
returned with narrowing tales OF the
unfair treatment they received at the
hands of Hugh ID. 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 it 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 a 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 1t" 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 letter to the writer. 1t
will be noticed that Baker does not
touch upon some of the points men,
toned by owen Moran in his COM
platnt, but this is explainable 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 it.

You know that owen Moran, un-

How Can You Win if
Your Team Loses?

The sporting editor Of The Georgian
has received the following request for
information concerning a wager:
"A bets B that Virginia will not beat
Georgetown more than 6 points. or one
touchdown Virginia loses by the score
of s to I. Who wins"
Looks like a fairly easy problem.
Virginia doesn't beat Georgetown by
more than 6 points, or by any margin
whatever, because Virginia doesn't beat
Georgetown at all. So "A" wins.
