New Year Auspices.

LIS wan
New Year Auspices.
The New Year was begun aus
piciously in pugilism- There were
probably two score of more or less
important bouts held in different sec
tons Of the country, and knockouts
featured the majority of the battles.
It was great day for the lads with
the wallop. The punch triumphed in
many instances over superior skill and
cleverness. Among the more notable
tx. O." victories were Leach Cross
defeat Of Bud Anderson. Eddie Nc
Goorty's quick defeat Of Dave Smith,
champion heavyweight Of Australia,
and the successful comeback of Perky
Flynn, Tom O'Rourie's latest candi-
date for heavyweight honors. Flynn,
while hardly TO be classed as a hope.
for he was fighting some time before
that phrase was coined, is matched to
box the fast-coming light heavy
weight, Battling Levinsl1y, at
O'Rourke's National Sporting Club, IN
New York city, next Tuesday night.
lard One for Levinsky,
This will be the most severe test
Levinsky has been put to since he
has been boxing heavies. While the
Battler has scored a number Of vic
tories in the past few months, his
matches have for the most part been
confined to second and third-rate op-
ponents. a tribute to the manager a,
skill of Danny Morgan, who looks
after Levinsky's business. Flynn at
his best can give a good account Of
himself. He has given Sam Lang
ford one or Two battles. His greatest
failing has been a dislike for the
strenuous work OF training But In
the capable O'Rourke's hauds Perky
viii have to get into shape. And. well
trained, he should be able 70 put Lev
insky to the acid"
Fox Made Big Hit.
Young Fox, an English bantam tne
veteran George Mcdonald brought to
this country in search Of fame and
fortune, has made quite q hit with
New York fans, and critics are touting
him as q worthy opponent for Johnny
Coulon and Kid Williams. Fox has
twice performed in New York rings.
He easily defeated Joe Mooney, a fair
ly clever youngster with corsing good
punch. and KID Herman. the Pekin
(Ill.) bantam. was his second victim.
Fox outpointed both boys in such
mastery style that there was ne
doubt of mis- superiority. Billy Glib
son, matchmaker for the Madison
Square Garden Club, is trying to land
Champion Coulon for the Britlsher.
Experts are praising Fox as one of
the best bantams England has ever
sent 20 this country, and that Is say
ing a whole lot, for the tight little
isle" has shipped US many a clever
little fellow in past years.

FRED HILL AFTER FAME
AS MOTOR-PACED RIDER
Boston Cyclist Declares Intena
ton OF Joining Ranks Of
"ChOOsChOO" Followers.
SURE OF MAKING GOOD
Says Paced Game Is ChiId's
Play, Compared to Nerve
Breaking Spirits.

Freddy Hill. the Boston rider. who
Is now a taxpayer in Newark, is 60
ing to turn his attention to the motor
paced game. After looking over the
flelc OF sprinters who are signed for
the coming season at the Velodrome
and reading Floyd Netherlands Eu-
ropean letter In the Evening Star, in
which big Mac" states that Hour
lier is signed and Rutt and Moretti
are expected to affix their signatures
to contracts to ride at the Velodrome
shortly, Freddy says there is no room
in the sprint game for him, and he is
going to join the ranks OF the "choo-
choo' followers. AS motor-paced
man Hill is sure to be a success. He
has ridden paced races at the Velo-
drome and other tracks on the cir
cult without any preparation and
made good in ever instance. When
opened at Philadelphia this spring
Hill viii join the 'plebes."
II feel certain that / will be able to
hold my own in the paced game" Hill
said, in discussing his plans for 1914.
For the past four years / have raced
continually summer and winter, and
this is the first time / have had q
rest. know it is going to do me q
lot of good, and I am glad that did
not accept any European engage
ments for this winter. The riding of
Kramer last season showed what II
does to a rider to race the year around
and if the champion, with the care
he takes of himself, cannot stand
twelve months of continuous racing
it is a cinch that l can't.
IF Goullet, Clark and Grenda were
not racing with Kramer in Europe
this winter I would predict that
Kramer would not win the title this
year. but as it is all things will be
equal with the four big men Of the
game, and none of them will have any
advantage on the champion when the
season starts" continued Freddy.
THE sprint game is going to be g
tough one this year, harder than ever
before since l have been racing" as
serted the man from Boston, land II
will take near champion or a cham
pion to get in the money with regu-
larity. The motor-paced division
looks like child's play when COM
pared to the sprints, and 1 will take
my chances in the former"
