LONDON, July 28.—Three Austra- Man boxers—Aibert Lloyd, George Cook and Frank Burns—came to Eng land, saw, and have been conquered, im fact so much so that they are ready to pack up for the long journey home. Fitted with high expectations on the basis of what they had hard about th lack of real boxers in the British Isles, the trio of Australians came here and found they were not near! ae proficient as they believed they were. Then they met some English boxers and the facts were demon- strated. Most English critics say Frank Burns is the best of the trio. He was defeated by Kid Lewis but he ex- hibited real pluck and undeveloped ability that won him admirers. He is being urged to remain in England or to go to the United States, where, as- sert the critics, every boxer should acquire the finishing touches to his pugilistic education. The most recent defeat of Lloyd, cruser-weight champion of the Anti- powdes, was administered by Arthur Townley, who won on points. BRITISH LACK RING TALENT. LONDON, July 28.—The English boxing season is usually considered ‘ended by Derby Day.

Brass bands played martial airs, the crowd shouted and hats, caps and handkerchiefs waved in frenzied _greet-| ing. Governor J. A. O. Preus was in ths --elcoming throng. It was more “han a mere triumphal homecoming for Hoover—it was his most successful birthday party, for today marked the 27th anniversary of his birth. Two months ago, he went away, quietly and alone, first to capture the North American rowing tile at Phila- Geiphia then to England, where his sensational sculling brought him tn- ternational fame. “Conditions, not the man, won the title,” he says. But ask the home folks—the Duluth Boat club boys— and. they will tell you it was the*in- dominably spirit of Walter Hoover that wrote rowing history on the Thames. To that spirit Duluth paid tribute today. Promptly at 8 o'clock, the shriek of factory whistles caused the cessation of all activity; business houses closed, masons and carpenters dropped their tools and over in the telephone ex- changes “hello girls” left their switch- boards to join in the welcome to the sculling champion. An impromptu parade was held Gown Superior street to the chamber of commerce, where the crack oarsman spoke a brief word of thanks for the welgome he had recbived. In accordance with advance plans, Hoover was given the rest of the fore- noon to spend with his wife and wid- owed mother, but for the afternoon, he was faced with a busy program that runs into the carnival activity of to- right. The English Henly will be rowed late today, when: more than 30 boys will compete in a “pushmobite” race down Superior street, with their ve- hicles constructed to represent sculls. Tonight an illuminated parade is planned, with Hoover riding in his own. scull atop a float leading the pro- cession, and street dancing will fol- low. “Hoover” buttons continued on sale today and it was declared the fund raised through their sale and volun tary subscriptions would exceed $15,- 000 with which a “substantial gift” will be purchased for Hoover, as a gift of money would make him a profes- sional. A completely furnished home was the most generally suggested gift. Julius H, Barnes, “discoverer” of Hoover, sponsor of the Duluth Boat club and president of the United States chamber of commerce. was un able to participate in the home-com- ing celebration as Mrs. Barnes is ill in New York. In a telegram he urged that Hoover go to Philadelphia races in August.

Yet Leonard's defense had much to do with thia: Tendler found that he could not pump both hands indis- criminately into the champion’s torso. Leonard's big failure was in his legs. Not until near the finish did he prance about, as is his wont, striking and Garting away. He could no more do this than Tendler could pound his body, for the challenger was crowding him—almost stepping upon him—fore- ing the fight.
