American boxers may have to pre- pare for another Australian invasion. Australian boxers, according to word from Sydney, are being groom- ed to follow Lés Darcy to the states to try for some of the American title Among the most promising, to be Jimmie Hill, a feather-w who has been doing remarkably well in the Antipodes. Hill, Australian experts declare, is a match for Johnny Kilbane and would make the world champion step lively over any route, Sid Godfrey is another Australian featherweight of promise, and Kid Herman ‘Kewpie Ertle or Kid Wil- liams would have their hands full in a mixup with Vinee Blackburn, the ‘Sydney ‘bantam, if reports of his abil- ities: are to be credited. The possibility of an Australian in- vasion recalls the havoc caused in American boxing circles in the eight- ies or nineties by Australians. Peter Jackson was the first great! fighter to come to America from Kan- gerooland and he was so good that John L. Sullivan drew the color line and wouldn't box hint. A few years later Bob Fitzsimmons came to America and won in swift suc- cession the middleweight, light heavy and heavyweight titles. Among other great Australjans of the period were Young Griffo, Dan Creédon, ‘Jim’ Hall, Joe Goddard, Jim Ryan, George Dawson and George Mul- holland.

Salary Check Will Cat Big Figure When The annual threat at baseball is as- suming grave proportions! The struggle this year may mean dissolution of the ball players’ frater- nity, or a long baseball war between players and magnates, which is cer- tain to have a deleterious effect on baseball as the national game! Whether the fight goes to a finish, or whether it is begun rests entirely with the players, David Fultz, president of the frater- nity, cannot start .a strike, nor can Ban Johnson and his colleagues of the national commission end one by themselves. The last word will come from the players themselves and the eyes of the baseball world are now fixed on John Henry, catcher of the Washing: ton team, and Dick Hoblitzel, Red Sox first baseman, dominant figures in the fraternity. Fultz and Johnson are bitter ene- mies, The recriminations they fling at each other through the © press amount to nothing. Johnson has long considered Fultz an undesirable in baseball,and Fultz has never lost any affection on the American league bos Of course, the talk of a ‘baseball strike preventing the leagues from CLUETT, PEABODY & CO: INC Makers opening in the spring is piffle: There are enough players in the country. to Headquarters for all Kinds ways right.

HOBLITZEL man the 16 clubs for the season’s opening and when it comes to a ques- tion of observing a more or less in- definite promise to the fraternity or missing the salary check twice a month, there are many players who will follow Slim Sallee, who has been dismissed from the fraternity for sign- ing a New York contract without the consent of the fraternity. But should a number of players de- cide to strike the quality of base- ball would be materially affected and the game, already injured by constant Dickerings, would suffer in the eyes of the paying public. A number of players have already sent back their contracts unsigned. Butsthat is not unusual at this season. Usually many players have minor dif- ferences to patch up_befare the sea- son opens and this year is not an ex- ception. If the past is a criterion a baseball war could result only disastrously to the players.

The players, backed by men of great wealth, took up the fight, on- ly to suffer defeat in a few months. Three years ago, when an open break was threatened, organized base- ball made certain concessions to play- ers, but only because of the Federal league. There is no Federal league for the players to turn to today. Organized baseball is powerful and backed by millions. The players’ organization, practically without funds, could scarcely hope to accomplish that which the Brotherhood, with money, failed to realize. In the end it probably will be a question of the salary check. There are few players in baseball who can earn as much money in any other line as they make on the dia- mond and when it comes to a show- down, it is not likely many will sub- mit to a reauced salary at work they do not like, for the sake of a princi- le. ed to be the Vineta, continues the destruction of allied commerce in the Atlantic, in which the Emden, Prinz Bitel Friedrich, U-53 and other Ger- man ships have taken part.
