 Gleason a. Phi1ade1phian. and who disdained the OsIer theory for a long CT period than any active pasttmer alive, was assistant manager of Com iskey's team. Gleason, possessed of one of the keenest minds in the game, saw the handwriting on the wall, and when it spelled release had nothing to say except a few observations on the game the principal of which was: !

The battle was staged on the afternoon of New Year's Day, and was to go 25 rounds, fozS purse of $20,O00. The tip had been passed around among the New York sports that the fight was to be a fake; and that the Hoosier was to quit. As a result, heavy odds were offered in Maherss favor Pittsburgh Phi1'' a. noted plunger, wagered a fortune on Maher, and hundreds of other wise ones put their coin on Peter. expecting to reap a rich harvest Before the fight began Maherss admirers present ed him with a floral horseshoe but a hundred horseshoes wouldn't have helped Peter that day.

JOHNNY GRTFFITHS SAYS
 WAR HAS QUEERED
 BOXING IN AUSTRAEIA


 With the return of Johnny Grifffths of, Akron, O.. from Australia there should be something doing among the IightweiEhts who have boxed in the land of the kangaroo the past year. Kid Lewis, Young shusrue, 1Iilburn Savior. Pal Brown and Crtffiths have all fought in Snowy Bakers Stadium
 in Sydney and 1t might be Q. good tdea for some promoter to arrange an. elina- ination tournament between the five
 lads. Aside from Charles White lr
 would be hard to select a better quin- tette of fighter among the light weights. Gilbert Gallant, Sam RObi- deau and Jimmy Duffy might be ad- ed to the list. Griffiths went over to Australia last July and was on the Pacific ocean when the war broke out. With the Australians sending men away from that country, the boxing game suffered and Johnny did not
 rean the benefits of the trip, from a financial stanpoint, that some of his
 boxing friends did ahead of him, John my who returned with Gus Cshrlstles the middIeweight of Milwaukee who
 went with him, states that the effect fof the war will be felt for some time and that it will be useless for Aneri- canboxers to go there until things are more settled. The work of Griffiths was highly appreciated by the Austra- Han fans and critics, the latter claim ing that he is one of the most boxers that ever visited that country, His
 work was somewhat of a revelation to i4the fans there and it is safe to say
 that Johnny can make 8 trip there some future time and get the coin Willie Ritchie ex-champion Itght- weight. stin has the idea that he is just as big drawing card as Freddy 1 Welsh who holds the title. Tom Me- Carey, the Los Angles -romoter who has annouced his intentions of going to New Orleansto open a new boxing
 club in opposition to the big one run thy the home prv9noter-Domi J. ETortorich, wants to get Ritchie to meet Johnny Dundee. There is some
 question about willie being able to | make sweight for Dundee. The ezr-
 champion has also been offered a.
 match with Welsh at Madison Square Garden in New York, but he declines to hand over all -he coin to the cham
 pion. He demands his guarantee with
 a privilege. Another match pending is at Havana, I Cuba. with some good
 lightweight whom the promoters have mot made known to Willie. The Cali fornta boy is anxious to know why Charlie White will not meet him again
 It might be well to state that White 8 manager, Nate Lewis, announced some time ago that Charlie would not fight Fatchte unless he made weight, that is 166 at five o'clock, but Willie has not expressed a desire to make that Ipoundage.
