dreds Of hard fought battles in Australia
England, and America. Boxing is a greai
business, II you can think, see, and hii
straight.
Rocky Kansas" knocked out. Tommy
Bresnahan in the second of a scheduled
ten-round bout at Buffalo. Kansas
recently defeated Johnny Dundee in ter
rounds before the Queensbury Club OF
Buffalo. The winning OF these two
matches stamp the mysterious youngsteI
as being a boxer of the highest class
French boxing promoters have offered
purse OF $4,000 for a match between
Georges Carpenter and Gunboat Smith
II is wonderful the way these French
sportmen stick to Carpenter, whose
blood is composed Of ice water and yell
low ochre.
Poor little Owen Moran. who was, in
his palmy days, one OF the best figntets
in the world. Is booked for the long
journey. Four years ago Moran knocked
out Battling Nelson In the eleventh Of a
scheduled twenty-round contest at San
Francisco, IT being the only time that
the great Nelson was ever rocked to
sleep.
Moran was a worshiper at the shrine
OF Bacchus. and II is indeed wonderfJ!
how he has retained his marvellous form
fOr'so many years.

George Chip, who lost to Al Mccoy, de-
serves a Carnegie medal. He Is real
hero. inasmuch as he gives Mccoy, whose
family name is Warner. fun credit for his
victory.
While unsatisfactory endings to impor-
tant matches frequently happens, the
winners are at least entitled to considets-
ton for seeing and taking advantage Of
openings such as Chip gave Mccoy. The
great trouble with most of US is, we are
too often looking into space" when op-
portunity presents It's card Mccoy had
his eyes on the main chance and deaiv-
cred the wallop which was heard around
the world, and carried a mitch for him
self in the pugilistic hall OF fame.
The match between George Chip and
Bob Moha. which was scheduled for Bos-
ton, will probably be declared OF. on ac-
count of Chip having lost to Mccoy, who
has been offered the match with Moha,
which he will probably accept. Moha
should win the decision.
Billy Murray, Of Sacramento. whose
family name is William Marque. is an
other youngster whose eyes were wide

four miscues all of which were costly.
Bentley on Hill.
Jack Bentley was OF the firing line
for the Farmers and was nicked for
seven hits several of which would have
been easy outs had he received big
league support
In the first round the Aggies started on
in great shape and as result Of a
pass a hit. and a trio of errors by the
Grinfmen were away to a three-run lead.
Bentley held his pals scoreless in the
first round but two errors. Ainsmith's
hit and an out allowed the Grinmen to
count twice in inning two.
Bunching three hits in the third scored
two more for the clan of Griffith in the
fourth and in the next frame the big
blow-off arrived. Three hits, three err
rors, a base on balls and an out brought
over five more, making the count nine.

were responsible for the six runs which
were scored while he oficiated.
Henry a Hitter.
That the Aggies scored again was due
to John Henry who tripled in the fifth
and counted when Foster dropped Aim

bases.

Griff trotted out Collier and Henry de-
serted the Farmers to catch for the
