YANKEE BOXERS
FIGHT THIS WEEK
Australians Expected to Show
Quality at Tuesdays Big
Games Abroad
By Associated Press.

Paris, June 23.-Duke Mullins,
who fitted Jack Johnson for his fight
with Tommy Burns, is training the
Australian boxers who have entered
the interallied games, which begin
on June "a. He has some likely
heavyweights with him, among them
being Captain Gordon Coghill, cham
pion officer boxer in the British
army; Harold, the amateur champion
of the National Club of London in
1910. and who fought Eddie Nc
Gority in Australia in 1914 and Les
Darcy. In the bantam weight box
ers' list there are Digger Evans,
Corporal Fred Hallam, winner of the
British military medal for gallantry
in action, and others, and Lieut..
Matty Smith, native of America,
will lead the lightweight division.
The Australian wrestlers are head
ed by Billy Miske, heavyweight
champion of Australia and Alfred
Taylor, British representative at the
Olympic games at Stockholm, will
compete as a lightweight.
In the opinion of the Australian
boxers, the American expeditionary
force boxing rules which will govern
the interallied contests, will do much
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-06-23

to increase the popularity OF the
boxing game. Mullins said to-day:
"Two-minute rounds, having the
referee in the ring, and the elm
ination of the kidney punch.
are forward steps in boxing. We
have done our fighting under straight
Marquis of Queensbury rules and
have long been of the opinion that
they need changing. Three-minute
rounds permit and encourage STALL
ing"
Australian and American training
methods are identical. They include
road work in the morning and gym
exercises, medicine ball, bag punch
ing. rope skipping, shadow boxing
and sparring in the afternoon.
The Belgian entries to the games
will comprise the soccer team which
won the triangular football cham
pionship from France and England.
Belgium will be particularly
strong in the fencing bout with a
team headed by Anspach, winner of
the sword contests in the Olympic
games of 1912; Bennett, amateur
champion of Belgium in 1914 and
Lieut.. Ochs, winner of the famous
match at Barcelona in 1914.

was called into pinch hit, so it appears
the Monarchs certainly bank on this
family to help.

archs came in the fifth. After Levan,

Tom Draak Writes For

follows: "I have just returned

DR.. Roller and it hurts me to think
that Harrisburg feels this way
about it. l certainly am not sat

with Doctor Roller. for he pro-
missed me that very night a return

from him. 1 think l should have
that and appear as a guarantee
to the fans of Harrisburg that 1
am just as clean as Roller. He is
recognized as an American, but
L can prove that 1 am the same,
and could show that 1 have done
my duty during the war more
than Roller. having been pre-

Promises Fat Purse to
Sammy Schif if He
Fights GilIey Tonight

Max Waxman, manager OF
Young Gilly writes to-day on the
eve. of this fighters appearance
at Barrett's Steelton show, from
his home in Baltimore as follows:
To the Telegraph sports editor
please explain to Harrisburg
and Steelton that Young Mahorey
was compelled to break his agree
ment to meet Sammy SchlH De-
cause he was seriouly hurt IN
his bout with Joe Marks. When
this happened 1 Immediately be-
gun action to get Young Gilley to
take his place, and the public
knows now that Schiff refused to
meet him. Why? Had Gilley
been a set-up Schiff would have
taken him on, but he knew that
Gilley had a reputation.
Now if this is not the case l
promise that Gilley, win or lose
with Tim Droney, will take
Sammy Schiff on in the same ring,
Monday night; and if he does not
stop him l will hand Schiff my
part of the original purse.
Young Gilley won the southern
lightweight championship from
Kid Whitten in a twenty round
battle staged in Baltimore two
years ago. Since then he has
met and knocked out Buck Tay-
lor. Jack Kantrow. He also holda

met and held his own with Ben

positively be on hand tonight to
advise Young Gilly, of Baltimore,

York, the One Hundred and Twelfth
Infantry representative of the Twen-
ty-eighth Division, have been in
Steelton' under Barrett's care train
ing since Saturday, and wound up
their training last evening and are
in great condition. Silar is matched
in the other star bout on the card
with frankie Erne, of Lancaster,
who is known by every local sport as
a past master of boxing, but the ag-
gressive Silar, who is touted as a
second Terry McGovern, is confident
that the pace he sets will be too
fast for Erne.
Droney and Erne will motor to
Steelton about noontime o-day with
