Hugh fclntosh, the Australian pro moter) makes It his boast that he will have a whole herd of American heavies Jn Sydney before Christmas. Possibly he will. The heavyweight situation at present resembles a weed patch and If Mac has secured the men he speaks of, It may give those tender plants known as '"whit hopes, - a chance to grow. It is noticed, however, that Mcintosh is not bragging about American light weights he will Introduce to fight lovers of Australia. No sir. The lightweights are having It made worth their while to stay at home and the heavies are being permitted to wander where they listetn, The moral - stands out in this like a wooden peg Jn a cheap shoe. t iv.wrht vivrp win furnish the best of the pugilistic entertainment In this country for quite a while.

Dan Mor gan, In declining a Los Angeles offer to match his man against Freddie Welch, said that Brown had a dosen contests to look forward to In ths next two months, and that he, would box Welch later. In the slaniF of yesteryears, that's going some. The question, is, how long will a youngster like K. O. B. last. If he is sent alonp at such a breakneck clipT He is a youth so new to the game that his name does not appear in the 1910 records, yet we hear of him being committed to a dcxen matches in the next two months. It almost looks ns if Morgan, In addi tion to claiming the lightweight cham pionship for Brown, might claim the record for the irreatest number of matches in the shortest space of time. Burely It must be a record. How Will He Train. Will Knockout train separately for each of those bouts, or will he condi tion himself to begin with and then figure that the first fight will consti tute training for the second and so on until ho lias finished the campaign? Whichever way he fixes, it almost looks as though he will have to sleep In fighting costume and with boxing gloves tied to his wrists. But perhaps, after all.
