MILWAUKEE,, Wis, August 1-Miioufh
Saylor, the indianapolis lightweight VINO
has been so successful in Australia the
past year, received a setback last week
when he was outpointed by Fred Kay.
the Melbourne lightweight. This is the
second time that Kay has outpointed the
Indianapolis boy, and It only goes to
show that the young Australian Is not
false alarm but really clever light
weight. In his first battle with Saylor
Kay DISPLAYED great cleverness and SIM
ply won by a narrow margin of points,
and he repeated last week in similar
manner ne did not seem to be able to
hurt the indianapolis fighter in any way
but merely gained a point decision. Tne
chances are that in longer fight Sayior
would beat him, the same as Wine
Richie would no doubt beat Freooie
Welsh in finish contest. Ray Bronson
manager Of Young Saylor. writes me
from Australia this week and his infor-
nation throws a little light on why say
lo- lost His letter Is as follows:
You will remember that In my last
letter 1 told you that Saylor had gone
STALE and in order to fix him up again
/ sent him to the mountains Tor one
month. The stay up there did MIN 10.
tells me ne is as good as ever. but !
doubt It very much. He seems to be all
right now for another contest, ana we
are matched up to meet Fred Kay again.
I am sorry that 1t is no longer than
twenty rounds for this boy Kay is very
clever and l would rather have a longer
distance for Milburn. as then l know ne
would beat him. / am also trying 70
match SAVIOR with Young Shugrue OF
New Yorn. as feel certain he can beat
him. and then he will be able to force
Richie into a match for the American
title And, believe me, Sayior VIII oe-
for another battle for the worlds title,
although Savior beat him thoroughly at
Winnipeg, when they claimed welsh won
on an alleged foul. ! had ALI Morey, my
welterweight, up to Queen sland last week 81
and he beat a fellow there named Sid
Deering in twenty rounds. Morey looks
very good Kid Lewis. the British light
weight has been showing splendid form
here. and you will be surprised 70 near;
probably, that he has been defeating all
the lightweights. He looks very good:
but am of the opinion that Saylor will
beat him If they meet. and l hope to have
him matched before long. All the Amer
lean boys here are doing fine and making
good money. There is little chance Of
our returning home before next fall. and
It is possible that we may remain even
longer.
For a boxer who was considered nothing
but a dub a year or two ago. George
(Knockout) Brown OF Chicago has GER
tainly shown wonderful improvement the
past few months When Brown fought
in Milwaukee against Jimmy Clabby he
was made to look like the rankest novice
and the bout as result, was very
punk 1t seems that the Chicago Greek
did not lose heart. but kept right on go
ing and also improving with each con-
test. until now he is no longer con-
~sidered a dub. but a real tough prop
obsition for any of the niddleweights to
tackle. His battle with Jack Dillon at
Terre Haute, Ind. last week showed
that he has a lot of class now: in fact.
it takes considerable class for any mid
dleweight to go ten rounds with Jack
Dillon. The papers gave it as a draw,
while some of them said Dillon had a
shade. and others that Brown had a
shade. 1t looks as though it was very
even contest and the indications are that
these boys will have to travel the mara
thon route in order to reach decision.
Brown may not be the cleverest OF the
