,i Will Hate Americans. . .
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.

best of the pugilistic entertainment In
this country for quite a while. And the
better the lightweight, the oftener he
will entertain.
f . Brown Zs Bnsy.
- Knockout Brown's manager. 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. Manager Mor-

Joking aside, it was evident that trie

If K, O. Brown keeps crowding a dozen
fights into a space .of two months, ha
will pot last anything near as long as
Nelson did. Wher Brown' can com

what is in store for champion Ad Wol

Chance Is Disciplinarian.
Frank Chance Is perhaps the greatest
disciplinarian in the game. A player
for the Cubs must play ball and play
all the time for all he is worth. Thl
Is the reason perhaps for the splendid
showing the Cubs always make. . There
is no other manager tn the game who
would put two of his sjar players on
the bsnch. with the race as It Is, like
Chance did1 with Joe Tinker and Heine
Zimmerman.
Buddy Ryan still leads as usual In creased their average last : week, while)
Holland of the Beale came up a num

successful in handling players and In all

a stenographer or two.
When Johnson gets back to the Unit
ed States whloh may not be for a year
or two he will-be a widely traveled man
a he Intends to visit India, China and
Japan.
Johnsoif can very easily afford to,
have two or : three valets If he wants
them, as his contract with Mcintosh
calls for an annual guarantee of $126,
000, a pretty tidy salary for the ex
roundabout. He expects to start for
Australia after his bouts with Wells
and Curran have been fought. He is
Immensely popular here, the color line

take, the people here treat -a colored
man with lots more consideration than
they do at home. I have- been think'
