Goorty gained most Of his fame
with the shamrock, and they told
him to quit 1t, also ordering all
other Americans to cease using

Before a bout, the Australian
referee comes to you and warns
you to cut out the American
fighting, ordering you to stick
stricktly to the Australian style.
That means you can't DO any in
fighting. You have to stand off
and box. They don't fight In
Australia, they box. And II an
American tries any mitigating, he

er for that bout or for the sea-
son.
So far as I know, Red Watson,
one of the boys who went to-
Australia with me. is the only one
to be disqualified for this style
of fighting, however. The others
were more careful. Red was
boxing Quandreaux, a Frenchman,
and had knocked his opponent
down eight or nine times in the
first few rounds.
Then, accidentally, while box-l
ing close, he hit Quandreaux in
the back of the neck, and he was
immediatel y disqualified, the
Frenchman getting decision.
The blow was called foul"
In Australia knockdowns count
for nothing. The fans don't care
for either knockdowns or knock
outs. In counting points, they
give a boxer more points for the
blows that he evades than for
those that he lands on the other
fellow. A good dodger is the
best boxer, and good staller oft.

man down q dozen times In each

though you put up what would
be termed a cheesy exhibition In
this contry, yoW have more than

Australia hates Americans.
This does not only apply to the
fight game, but In a general
sense. The country considers
that America should have enter
ed the world war In aid of Eng
land. For that reason, an Amer
lean boxer hasn't q show, at the
present time.
They hiss and boot Americans
In the ring. They have dis
barred three American blows,
thus effectively preventing the
outsiders from winning. They do
everything they can to make an
American boxer uncomfortable.
at least while he is in the ring.
An Australian audience at a
boxing match IL one of the most
peculiar crowds you ever saw. 1t
Is entirely the reverse of am
American crowd of fight fans.
In this country, they hiss you
for stalling, shout for the under
dog, and go wild over knock
out.
l have seen audiences in Aus
tralia that would merely gaze
alphabetically at a knockout, never
lifting a hand in applause. but
would go frantic with excitement
when one of the boxers would
duck particularly vicious blow,
or would run away from his man.
It's no wonder that all the
matches are for 20 rounds. The
average Australian boxer couldn' t
stand up for half that time If he
boxed the American way.

goes to the Antipodes hoping to
make an instant impression and
quick record for himself, gets
the egotism knocked out of him
In his first fight, because he finds
himself up against system of
rules that are almost the reverse
of those in vogue here.
The rules have been altered to
benefit Australian boxers. Ameri-
cans in the past have won so many
victories from Australians that
they have doped the ring rules.

fore he has a chance OF winning.
And even then, the referee Is so

win a 20-round decision In Aus

with an Australian, either, but a

In America there are six pop-
ular punches-straight rights
and lefts; right uppercut; the
rabbit killer, or punch to back
of the neck; kidney punch; and
shamrock. or inside upward blow

Australia has eliminated the

ARMY,-NAVY
GAME TODAY

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.--Fully
$4,000 spectators are expected at
the Polo grounds this afternoon
for the final game of the season,
the Army and Navy classic. Even
with prospects Of rain, there is
no probability that the crowd will
be reduced.
Each team has won nine games
this season, one ending in a tie,
thus causing even more than
usual keenness in the rivalry
President Wilson was to be the
honored guest, with Mrs. Gait as
a prominent member of his
party.

Well, I hope the capitalist pa
upers are satisfied now that they
have the blood of Joseph Hill
strom, 1. w. W..
His trial was farce from be-
ginning to end. The fact that he
was hated l. w. w. was enough
when once they got him into 9
capitalist court. The daily papers
are using the same compaign OF
his and abuse against the I. w,
w. now that they did against the
socialists 10 years ago. And
why?
It IL because capitalism realizes
that the l. w. w. has the ONLY
scientific solution Of the Indus
trial problem, that Ia to stop ex
ploitation at the point of produc
tion, solidarity of the workers
and the one big union.
That is the dope that sends the
cold shivers down the spinal col.
umn of the bloated bondholder
and capitalist. So they demanded
the blood Of Hillstrom, gentle poe
OF the Industrial revolution. But
the class struggle goes merrily on
and the sacrifice will not have
been in vain.
Yours for justice,
