RIVAL PROMOTERS
AFTER BOUTS FOR
AUSTRALIAN FANS
Snowy Baker and Billy Howe
Want Local Fighters for
Western BoutS-5Oth Are
Keeping Quiet.
BY W. w. NAUGHToN.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30.-Two
Australian liners blew into port
Thursday morning and two rival Aus
tralian promoters stepped ashore
But there was no undue excitement
over the occurrence.
The two men who have come such
distance in quest OF American pu-
gilistic talent did not tear up tho
street shouting TO unemployed bruiserS
10 gather around and listen 10 the
,.npreced ented offers that IL was de-
sired TO place before them.
Each OF the gentlemen from 'iur-
rim parts" knew that the other was
around and each preserved a calm.
untalkative demeanor. Possibly whel
they get their bearings the words viii
fly.
As between the two men. "Sn1Ty'
Baker and Billy Howe. the former
IS the bigger figure in the worlG or
sports lie has won fame both as a
match handler and as a referee ana
his standing in his home city-Syd-
ney-is attested in more ways than
one.
For instance. the cablegrsm OF
few days ago addressed To the writer
and meant for boxers at large, II was
signed by ringmen OF all nations Z
present congregated in Australia ana
il advised glove -wielders 10 do busl-
ness with friend Snowy il they con
templated a trip to Australia.
Then there was the citizens ban
quet'' TO Baker prior TO his taking the
steamer 10 this end. Like all British
banquets il began with the saying OF
grace and ended with the singing Of
"The National Anthem. but in be-
tween such complimentary things
were said about Our enterprising
fellow citizen" that Snowy's checks
must have burned and his ears must
have tingled. And who do you think
presided? No less dignitaTy than
the lord mayor OF sydney.
Such is fame. But while Mother
Howe may be "Snowyed" under when
it comes to presenting credentials he
may have that at his command which
will place him on an even keel with
Friend Snowy. For this above ages
is an age when money talks
For a few days Howe and Baker
will rest and look over the ground
Then they will begin 20 bid. And the
one who bids the highest Will com
mand the more attention. providing
ne is backed by the right kind OF Sc
Curities and providing further he can
show the fighters he is "A fellow who
| can get them more money 10y going
abroad than they can by remaining at
home.
Baker says he is after the best in
the market Howe says the same.
! Baker says he Will be satisfied if no
signs up a small number OF really
good men. Howe delivers himself OF
/ similar sentiments. Baker says that
when he Unfolds himself TO the men
! he seeks To deal with the men will
! be more than satisfied that the offers

10 the tune of II to 10, while the
freshmen also waIloped the seniors
by count Of ! to TO- in the sixth
round of the interclass series in the
high school gymnasium Thursday aft

The sophs started off at a terrific
clip and had a three point lead before
the third year men got started, when
a foul goal by Wolf put them in the
scoring column. The sOphomores rail-
lied strong and kept a point or two
ahead until the end of the half when
the count stood seven to four, with
the second class in the lead. The sec
ond half was the hardest fought game
yet played. Engdahl of the sopho-
mOres counted a free throw but a min
ute or two afterward Bucher
and Mueller registered goals and tied
the score.
Daily here came to the rescue of his
team with two baskets putting the
sophs four points ahead. Wolf count
ed a goal for the juniors and the score
stood - TO 10 when time was called.
Daily, Anderson ard Whiteman played
good ball.
The freshmen-senior contest was
slower than the other game, as the
freshies completely Outclassed their
opponents and were on the long end
of a 10 to nothing score when time
was called for the first half. The SEN
iors endeavored to rally in the second
half and threw a scare into the fresh
men by registering five field goals.
Berger and Egan starred for the SEN

I'm THE SAME OLD BEARCAT AGAINr'
AD WOLGAST TELLS HUGH FULLERTON

III
Ad Wolgast is back; not only back,
but he declares himself rearrived to
remain indefinitely.
The return of the Michigan Bearcat
is triumph of viii power and harG
work and furnishes the best example
of recent years of the fact that
fighter. beaten and declared down and
out can by conscientious work undo
the effect of careless living and re-
cover form.
Wolgast was perhaps the happiest
man in America when he leaped
through the ropes fter beating Joe
Rivers at Milwaua e. His joy was
not so much that he had defeated
Rivers as it was from the feeling that
ne was himself again and. added 10
that that he was to have another
chance to recover his lost champion
ship from Willie Richie. For. before
WOlgast fought Rivers, he paved the
return road to the championship by
securing an engagement with the
evasive champion. contingent upon
his beating the Mexican. Evidently
the Ritchie camp thought WOlgast
could not punch his return ticket.
so agreed to fight probably at Vernon,
Cal, July 1.
Whether Wolgast succeeds in re-
gaining his laurels or not here is
some interesting dope. Listen TO
what Ad said returning from the Mil
waukee battle.

But you know how 1t is. When q fell

But there is only one way a man can

Is 1t possible that men are going to

go into court to argue cases? Can
it be that the question Of picturesque

If this is to be the case, rest assured
that when the time comes that woman
is given the ballot and allowed to vote,
she viii correct this grave injustice
In all probability she will insist on the
gown and the wig. as worn by English
justices. Powdered wigs would be far
more becoming, anyhow. Think how
lovely one would look, with rosy cheeks
and a pretty white wig!
The supreme court OF the United
States may rest assured Of one thing.
and that Is that when woman is al

some of the evils Of law makers. and
one Of the first OF these win be to give
woman the privilege OF wearing what
