tralia are held in one OF these
three.
OF course, there are smaller in
dependent stadiums In other parts
of the country, and there Is no
monopoly on the game. But the
boxing people, just like the thea

one big concern as boss of the
boxing business. In the vaude-
Vile business, as parallel ex-
ample, every variety theater In
Australia is handled by one con-
Germ, and every act that soes into
the country is booked through
one office. No one thinks of
trying to start competition in
either line.
It was thought for long time
that Snowy Baker, we'll known
boxing man, was head of the sta
dunn company. He was the act
ing head, and nobody had any
idea but that he was the COM
pany. A recent suit in Australia,
however, brought out the fact
that John Wren, racetrack NAH
and horse owner, was the power
behind the concern-the real

In recent years the. company has
put roofs on its buildings, and
now all the bouts are held In the
evening, as in most other places.
The stadiums are circular in
shape. The ring is square, of
course, and set ON raised plat
form in the center and ucttom of
the rings of seats. The first few
rows of ringside seats are flat,
but the others rise in perfetc
circle, just like they do in the
Tacoma high school stadium. In
this way, everyone gets a seat
with an unobseructed view of the
ring.
Referee Prejudiced.
Harold Baker, brother OF
Snowy, referees In Sydney. Snowy
makes all the matches. Harry
is very strongly prejudiced
against Americans, and through
out a bout he keeps talking to the
American boxer, warning him
against foul blows, and trying to
distract his attention from his OPP
ponent.
