MI seems to make little difference
III as to the season of the year for
the boxing game in Australia Winter
or summer, the fans Of that country
turn out in great numbers to witness
the battles, especially between the
Americans and Australians
Harry Stone, the New York weller
weight. who went over several months
ago. writes as follows regarding the
boxing situation there:
Have been hare three or four
months now and during that time 1
have had six contests and won five OF
them. 1t is really wonderful the way
The people here turn out for the box
ing matches. a person would thln lA
that with the war on, every thlHs w. ~
be at a standstill, but II IS just 'iie
reverse here
Several of the American boys arrived
here yesterday, among tneNn D 5rsi,,e5

Charlie for the Australians have Deeh
beating them in most Of the matches

wav he should have, and have Deeh
standing a lot of kidding on that ac-
