BAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April 1. —With four Australian and seventeen State records to their credit, the four athletes composing the all-American track team arrived here yesterday, ready to compete again in ten days. Although the men participated in twenty-one fleld days on a thirteen weeks’ tour of the Antipodes, and did their own training, they said they felt as fresh as when they started. Aside from the individual perform- the Americans won the team championships of Australasia and| New South Wales.

Shortly before the start of the game here yenterday McGraw was put down and out for a count of nearly five minutes. Pat Newman, manager of the Houston team, deliv- red the blow, but in pugilistic circles the punch will go down as @ foul blow. Newman struck McGraw while the latter had his back turned. But we must not forget to relate how Newman also took the count and that Art Fletcher was at the long end of the sleep producing wal- lop. And Fletcher resorted to fair methods, Newman saw the Giants’ shortatop swing his right, but wasn't quick enough to get out of the way. Lang- ford or even Gunboat Smith never did land a cleaner punch than did Fletcher. It caught Newman on the chin and the force of the wallop raised Newman into one of the boxes of the grandstand.

Hej has improved wonderfully since the Sperenton on his spine and may be able to get in a few games toward the end of the season, but it is be- Neved that it would be unsafe to let him exert himself for a while. In addition to the veterans, Plank and Bender, the pitching staff is ma- terlally strengthened by Bush andj Shawkey. They were good last year, but not good enough to be ranked with the best. Bush got a lot of con- fidence from his performance against the Giants in the big series and will do much toward winning another pee nant. There are many who think Shawkey better than Bush, but that is questionable. Then there are Houck and Baldwin and Bowen.
