Ban Francisco, May ao. flom of s
would like to know If th Australian
critics think any better of Billy Papka
thaa thav did before h downaci tne
rising young antipodean fighter. Dava
Bmith. Fapke's ring worx was riaicuiaa
br the exDerte down "yonder" from th
beginning. ' They pronounced th IU1-
nols thunderbolt" a fala alarm th
first time they saw 'htm; put up; his
hands. ; By th tim Pav. Bmitn naa
won from him on a foul and nara neaa
ed Cvclon Thompson had made a
punching bax of him. th Australians
were puasled ' to imagine bow Papka
had ver made any neaaway wtn nia
flats In his own country.' They consid
ered him the poorest apology for a
world'a champion they aver had laid
eyes on. . r - -
It waa rather humiliating for aome or
ua who bad aeen Papka at hla beat and
who had warned the Australlane to be
on tha lookout for a high elaaa expon
ent of Queensbarry pastimee. But it's
a long lane that haa no , turning, and
now that Papka- haa coma back to his
own, aa It were, all neoeaslty for apolo
gies or explanations is don away with.
Bank Xn and Outer.
Of course, if Papka had kept up his
poor work to the vary laat In Australia
and If It had become neceasary to aay
something in defense of tha good re
ports of him aent thither In the first
place, wa could have fallen back on
th fact that Billy haa been an uncer
tain proposition from ths tim hs first
stepped into a ring. The champion "in
and outer" some call htm, but that car
ries with It a suggestion of chronlo
crookedness and I don't think that Pap
ka Is sinner enough to deserve a repu
tation of that kind. The fact remains,
however, that Bllly'a record Is a hodge
podge of strikingly brilliant perform
ances and th moat wretched ahowlnga.
