AMERICAN BOXING TALENT.-
' FOR AOSTRALIAN INVASION
By Malachy Hogan. |
Denver Sept. 7. —Hugh Mclntosh.
the boxing impresario from the anti-
podes is evidently trying to make a
cleanup on the pugilistic market. This
is the conclusion judging from his per-
formances during the past fortnight in
seeking the services of almost every
prominent fighter in this country that
they may figure in bouts with home j
talent in Australia.
In his prospective list the promoter!
■ flora the antipodes has an array of .pu-
gilistic talent which will surely make
the natives over there sit up and take 1 '
iiotice when they get in action. Of
course whether they go or not remains
to be seen but so far as getting any
of the loose coin around these parts it
might be well that they make the trip
for it is a cinch that money is plenti-
ful over there whenever a good fight
is coming off.
Leading the string and one already
booked for the getaway is none other
than Billy Papke the Illinois Thunder-
bolt one time middleweight champion
and again a possibility for the honors
taken from him by Stanley Ketchel and
still in the latter’s hands. Papke is
assured of a heap of money by making
the trip and it was a wise move tor
b man of his caliber should be a great
drawing card even in a strange land.
.lust who Papke will be forced to
meet is a question but it is reasonably
certain that he will have an easy time.
As far as reports go there are no world
beaters over there just at present and
Yapke is not likely to uncover any in
bis class. Just the same the fans over
there will attend just so long as there
is going to be a bout and that is what
probably convinces Mclntosh that there
is a whole lot of money ia gathering
this host of boxing stars for appear-
ance in his home territory.
The Illinois Thunderbolt is by no
means the least of the bunch to make
the long jourdey for Packey McFar-
land the Chicago lad will hie away
once more probably in company with
Bay Bronson the Indianapolis welter
and in addition. Jimmy Clabby the .
Milwaukee welterweight and most
promising candidate for the champion-
ship and Matty Baldwin of Boston. In
these men Mclntosh has a star bunch
of performers probably too good to be
{cleaned or even outpointed by anything
the antipodes have to offer in the wel
ter and lightweight classes. All of these
men have practically accepted terms
and no donbt will be holding forth in
Australia by the time next Christmas
rolls around.

। Opponents named for McFarland are
Rudy Unholz the Fighting Boer and
Johnny Summers the English light-
weight besides one opponent who has
not been named. These men Packey
should be able to take care of for they
have never accomplished anything bor-
dering on the sensational in ring his-
tory. L’nholz might prove a hard prop-
[osition for he is a tough man and one
I who is not easily put out by the light
• blow McFarland inflicts. In far off
Australia the Fighting Boer is looked
upon as a wonder and even goes to the
itrouble of decorating his stationery
with the short quotation “Lightweight
champion of the world.’’ *
Sumn’crs is a man of medium varie-
ty doing good one day and just the
opposite the next but might be able to
accomplish .tmething against MeFlh-
land seeing the Chic igo lad is so lun-
dicapped by the lack of a sleep produc-
ing punch.
Ad Wolgast lightweight champion is
another who is likely to answer the call
to the other side for the Michigan
Wildcat seems to have a number of of-
fers which look good. Even Mclntosh
is after him but there will probably
be nothing doing on this as the Aus-
tralian would most likely want him to
meet McFarland in a championship bat-
tle and the two can’t see each other on
account of the weight question.
Of course the Chicago lad is exceed-
ingly anxious for a swipe at the title
which he has sought for some time but
he stands little or no chance until he
changes his adopted foreign views on
the legitimate lightweight. It is sim-
ply a case of Packey being somewhat
afraid of going against Wolgast when
compelled to make 133 pounds ringside
or even a couple of hours before.
The offer of the Cardiff Wales club
to Wolgast for a title bout with Fred-
die Welsh must look good to the cham-
pion for it will be a long time before
a club in this country is able to put up
a guarantee of $12500. Besides this
the champion could make a little clean-
up on the moving pictures which would
probably bring his purse up to a big
sum. This amount is assured Wolgast
whether he win lose or draw while
Welsh would have to be content with
the sum of $5OOO.
A Wolgast-Welsh fight will in my
mind be the next big affair in the
pugilistic line for this pair is due to
try out their abilities as McFarland
is out of the question just at present.
It wouldn’t be at all surprising if Wol-
gast eventually accepts the offer of the
Wales club and hikes across the water
for a short term.

OH JOE JEANNETTE
•
Boston Aspirant for Heavy-
weight Title and New
Yorker in Fast Bout.
; Special Dispatch.
Boston Mass. Sept. 7. —Sam Lang-
ford of this city who aspired to the
title of heavyweight champion of the
i world now held by Jack Johnson re-
• ceived a severe test last night at. the
1 Armory A. A. here when he met Joe
Jeannette of New York in a twelve
round contest. The former received
. the decision of the referee but he had
to show plenty of form at all times
. to secure the advantage.
The bout was one of the best that has
been staged mere in many months and
the big crowd certainly received a run
for their money. The ampitheater
was crowded from the ring to the upper-
most tier of seats and the spectators
. cheered as the referee announce.! his
. decision.
| Jeannette had several pounds ad-
i vantage over Sam but the latter made
; up for this by his superior knowledge
lof the game and his hard hitting. He
was the aggressor at all times and
mainly secured the decision through his
। forcing tactics.
Jeannette never faltered and his
i work at long range kept the Boston
I dusky stepping at a lively clip. His
j best work was done at these stages of
the contest but in the clinches Lang-
Ilford worked both hands to the body
■with telling effect. The latter secured
। a slight lead in the first two rounds
l and kept the advantage throughout
Tt -was announced after the bout that
both of the men will meet again in a
I short time in another twelve round con-
| test at the same club.
