Mccain Sails
BILLY McCann sailed for Australia
| last Tuesday according to reports
from Los Angeles. McCann has
| signed a contract to box five bouts
al the sydney Stadium.
Billy had a wonderful chance 70
make good in the West and started
off wei by beating Earl France who
was rated among the best light
weights on the coast. The lure of the
primrose path was too much TOT
Mccain and he slipped fast going
from a main -eventer to the bottom OF
the preliminary card. In his last
| Phoenix appearance he looked PAD
| against Johnny Weber, a boy he
| should have stopped in four or i've
rounds.
II McCann takes good care OF him
self he has several good fignts ISl1
and may stage a come back' 1he
American boxers who went TO Aus
/ tralia found the home boys sort ana
rSfr a.

! ceived by Harry Hegele. WaIlace
