YANKEE BOXERS
MAKING MARKS
IN AUSTRALIA
Eddie McGoorty Is Champion OF
Antipodes in Several of the
Heavier Glasses.
BY w. w. Naughton.

OAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 2S.-Ths
fact that Snowy Baker and W,
~ F. Howe are in this country In
quest Of pugilistio talent for the box-
ing organizations they represent in
Australia is the best proof that ths
sports down yonder are steadfast
patrons of the game of the glove. At
that it is to wonder how these travs
cling commissioners can afford to of
fer big money to topnotchers Of this
country.
Just at present Australia is woe,
fully lacking in suitable talent to send
against visiting stars,
Take the lightweight division, for
instance. When Baker arrived here,
intent upon Turing Willie Richie to
the land of the Golden Fleece, he be-
lieVed he had several fairly suitable
matches in sight for the lightweight
champion.
ITO begin WITH said Snowy -TTI
pit him against Hugflie Michigan, tho
recognized champion of Australia
The words were hardly out of Ba-
kers mouth when the cable brought
news that Michigan had been knock
ed out in eleven rounds by Young
Saylor, OF Indianapolis
We'll, still have Herb Mccoy
left" said Snowy" with a brave
show Of philosophical spirit. He is q
rising young lightweight. and IS Me-
hegan's most formidable rival. Many,
in fact, believe him a better boy than
Michigan. I can also promise Ritchis
q. bout with Young Saylor. who ds.
feated Mehegan.|
One defeat, however, does not set q
ringman aside in that country the
way it does here. A man of known
ability does not lose caste on account
of a single reverse-or a couple, for
that matter-and the promoters, be-
ing acquainted with Australian sport
Ing spirit in the direction named, do
not hesitate about signing q defeated
star again without delay.
The bigger classes in Australia ars
in even more of a muddle than the
lightweights. Dave Smith went right
Gown the line from white hopes and
Light heavies to middleweights, and
proved too good for them all. Among
his victims was Bill Lang, a ZOO
FOUNDER. who up to that time was
called heavyweight champion of AUS
tralia.
Then Eddie McGoorty came along
and did for Smith in less than two
minutes of boxing. Accordingly Nc

Coach Atlanta A. c. Quintet


1914 will be remembered by the
fans as one of the most interesting
and exciting that has ever been Wit
messed in and around Atlanta
The mighty Columbus Y. NJ c. y.
quintet started off in the same old
way, making all teams that they
played look like novices and rolling
up scores that had the others scared
before that team tackled them The
prowess of Peddy, Kilcrease, MASSEY,
Dozier and Newman was already
known, and their names were synony-
nous with victory. Shortly after the
season opened word was sent broad
cast that the Mobile Y. NJ c. a. was
disbanded and would not be in the
running This apparently narrowed
the fight for supremacy and the
Southern championship to Columbus,
Birmingham and Atlanta.
The Birmingham A. c. had visions
of again winning the championship,
as they returned four of their vet
erans, and then secured Thomas, who
had seen service under the Blue and
White a few Years before. 1t was the
boast of their supporters that they
had the best team in the history of
the club but their hopes were blasted
when they tackled Columbus and were
beaten, 81 to 10
The Atlanta Athletic Club returned
all the members of its team and was
looking forward to great season, but
accidents played a very important
part in knocking some of the props
out from under the team, for if there
is one thing that will raise havoc
with g basketball team it is accidents.
Nevertheless, it weathered the storm
in real form, and what was beginning
to look like a DISASTROUS season wa
turned into a successful one by de-
feating Columbus, AZ to IS.
Columbus Hits Toboggan.
The Columbus team that had been
putting all teams to rout suddenly nit
the slide in the form of q near-riOt with
Vanderbilt on top of that, Georgia,
who had already defeated the Ath-
letic Club, came along, and in like
manner defeated Columbus. This is
the team that changed the whole as
pect of things, and what was consid-
cred the big three was suddenly
changed to the big four. The Georgia
team played great ball and deserves

the South's foremost teams.

cruiser Hela was destroyed. as told by one
Of the crew of the submarine E-9:
"In the early hours of Sunday morning
two or three British submarines were
stalking the Hela about six miles of the
German coast The wind was freshening
and the sea was beginning to get rougher.
The E-s came to the surface at half past
o'clock and sighted the enemy, which
was seen to be within range
with all possible speed the E-s dived
and at suitable depth launched two
torpedoes at intervals of fifteen seconds
Whether both struck Is not definitely
