Supposing Johnnie Kilbane. or any
of the other top-notch feathers, was
matched to box eight rounds with Mike
O'Dowd or any other of the best mid
dleweights. who would be the favorite?
Foolish question. the boxing fan will
say. The little fellow would have no
chance. But there was such a battle
and the little fellow won.
Dan Creedon was the middleweight
and Young Critic (Albert Griffiths) was
the feather. Critic was an Australian.
and it is certain that of all the marvel.
GUS boxers that country has sent TO
America, this boy was tho greatest
of them all. Don't take the trouble to
ask any authority on boxing, who was
the greatest fellow with the mitts that
ever lived; just remember it was this
same Young Griffo.
Dan Creedon stood high as a boxer
in the middleweight division; he had
fought and defeated many of the best.
so that he was not a novice at the
game. When an admirer of Young
Critic wanted to wager a considerable
sum of money that the little fellow
could stay eight rounds against Cree
don, it was accepted.
They fought, and all things consid-
cred. it was the most marvellous exhibi-
tion of boxing in tho annals of ring
history. Only once in eight rounds did
Crcedon succeed in getting in n real
wallop; this landed on the ear OF lit
tie Griffo. 1t was a reminder of the con-
test to Griffo. as long as he lived; 1t
was tho familiar caulifiower ear which
is tho mark of distinction among so
many boxers.
Griffo's system of defense was un-
canny. He boxed as much with his
head as he did with his arms: in other
words it was impossible to hit him in
that vulnerable spot. Creedon tried
in every manner no knew to hit Critic.
and found IL irnpossible; he swung
with right and left, and tried short arm
punches and right and left uppcrcuts
but the swiftly bobbing head of his
impudcnt adversary was always in the
clear. Critic grinncd and taunted the
larger man until he was almost mad.
And this chiding, most likely. had the
effect OF making Dan fight wild. which
gave the smaller boy moro chances. 1t

straight go. Mr.. Munro's motto is
Fair play to all' but he insists on

speak for the "on the level" treatment

out Australia is fortunate to have "a
man at the head of affairs who under

Men with unsavory regulations are
dropped out very quickly. and there is
none of the underworld associations
that have marred boxing in other
parts in the Australian boxing world
of today. The boxers of note In Aus
tralia for the most part are business
men, not irresponsibles who live on
the fringe OF boxing and the depths of
the tenderloin. Most of our champions
have businesses of their own and do
not rely on boxing entirely for liv-

to support them entirely IL they chose

Ryan, Green. Fred Kay and several
others are hotel keepers. several others
like Jimmy Hin. Billy Tingle, etc, are
hairdressers and tobacconists. and
others make money in the merchandise
ing and retail trades. Most Of these
lads started their businesses when tho
, war was raging and the lid down on
boxing. and those that were successful
have hung on putting solid bank rolls
away for n rainy day. This type OF
boxer is credit to his country, and
II now seems the ambition OF many
boys who are In the game to stow
away a good sockful and then set up
in business. They all take n pride In
helping Jack Munro keep the game
clean. and deplorc the antics of a few
roughnecks in other parts who make
the law-abiding sections OF the boxing
game suffer for their crimes. In Aus
tralia. as elsewhere, boxing has many
antagonists who would willingly move
TO close down on II forever II they ever
got good opportunity. but the con-
sistently good behavior OF the boxers.
plus excellent management. has kept
the game clean. and overseas boxers
who have visited these shores agree
that boxing in this country is on the
highest plano anywhere.

that the telephone company in July han
died 36,204, 500 calls in Indiana. In June,
the number was approximately 25,000,000
calls. and the total revenue of the com

company per call is less than cents.
The company has 173,400 phones In use

show that the average telephone user
puts in at least three calls per day.

"a, 400 900 calls in the city alone. OF this
total 100000 were manual calls, and
