land, former local middleweight, and
now conducting a boxing school in
Sydney, Australia, is having trouble
there on account of his TeuIonic
name, according to reports received
here.
He managed to get by until rec1nt-
ly, when the feeling became LOO

had to prove that he was not Ger
man, and as a result, he has written
here to his mother for proofs. He
wants his mother to send down the
dope to show to the doubling Aus
tralians that he is a genuine Ameri-
can.
Hollands real name is Creel. The
ring name was given him at the time
that he was acting as boxing instruct
or at the Spokane Athletic Club back
In 1910, and has stuck to him since.
Hollands father is of English orig
in, having been born in West Vir-
ginia. His mother comes of Scotch
Irish stock and is native of Wis

fixed for that product.
The trade commissions steel investi.
cation indicates II will be almost i'm.
possible to fix price for steel. as II was
done with coal. Varying costs in diff.
ferent plants make it impracticable, Il
is said, to establish a fiat rate.
Coal operators throughout the coun-
try have been asked by the National
Coal Operators association to meet in
Pittsburgh Wednesday to discuss the
situation.
II was indicated that the president
also has under consideration the ap.
pcintment Of an administrator to fix

however, that there will be a steel price
administrator.
