Views of the Secretary.

According TO the Secretary's view.
based upon the plans tentatively pre-
pared last year for similar maneuvers
which never came off, even with 10000
soldiers for the defense of New York
it would be necessary in working out
the problem to regard each regiment
az the equivalent of a brigade. Like
wise the naval vessels would have TO
be regarded as carrying shadowy
thousands of troops that did not exist.
These troops We're to be landed at
some weak point in the coast defense
scheme. in the effort 10 capture New
York city, and the general plan of
operations would be based upon the
Inaneuyers SO successfully conducted
at Boston about four years ago.
But that could be done only by means
OF an ample appropriation, and the
Secretary said that he was not at pres
ent inclined to make any recommends
tion to that effect.

PICKINGS IN AUSTRALIA
But Native Son Boxers Try HOldup
Game and Results in Kicks
from Promoters.


SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. March H.
Snowy" Bakers monthly letter from
Australia tells OF the harvest being
reaped by boxers in that part OF the
world. Baker says that boxers are
treated better in Australia than anywhere
else. not II bringing the leaders together

one fight with McGoorty In that con-
test Smith lasted less than two minutes,
never struck an effective blow. and was
knocked out 30 completely that he had
to be carried out OF the ring.
mo man should complain about pay
ment of that kind" says Baker. "Yet
a second contest was arranged between
Smith and McGoorty. and Smith actually
received $500 for getting into the. ring
with the big American. For the third
tlme-thelf first contest was one-imlnute
affair. In New York. for which Smith
received 500. Mcooorty knocked Smith
out. vet the Australian was able to draw
large sums for other contests during tho
year with Jimmy Clabby and Dubourg,
the Frenehman.
Boxing must be sound game in Aus
tralia when men of this type can con-
tinue TO receive money from the public
But the boxers were not satisfied. Smith
in particular held up the Stadium au-
thortties for 70 per cent OF the gross re-
ceipts. Though the Stadium refused Ia
pay II. some Of the Australians against
whom he was matched agreed 10 forfeit
per cent OF their shares in order &c
let Smith have his fun third"
This, according 20 Baker, caused a gen,
erai demand by ordinary boxers that q
per cent be given all OF them. A boxers
union was therefore formed. Every boxel

and they filed n formal demand on Balxel

urally Baker refused.

In history. The Kid whipped Joe Wal

knocked out Jack Everhardt in twenty
four rounds at q New York club. though
Everhardt administered a terrific beating
up to the time he received q powerful

Lavigne won those scraps because of his
remarkable ganeness and stamina He
was not looking-glass boxer, such as
you frequently see nowadays. but a
rugged, willing. persistent slugger, who
never knew the meaning OF fear.
"Lavigne was knocked down half a
dozen times by walcott in that memorable
Maspeth affair. He was literally cut to
pieces in the first twelve rounds and the
betting was four 10 one that he would be
stopped before the end OF the fifteenth

Demon on the chin with fearful upper
cut Down went Walcott in a heap. but
he quickly jumped up and clInched. In

dangerous negro on the verge Of knock
out, and when the fifteenth session ended
the lightweight champion was the win

And a name from sea to sea.
A dream of laurel wreathings,
