USTRALIA has a new flyweight champion George and tho sporting writers there tout him as an opponent for Buff and dimy Wilde, and u coming world’s | champion. Mendtes has whipped overything of Wis weight in Australia and ts be- @inning to reach out for world hon- oe by going to the Philippines for Sights. The iden of going to the ‘Philippines may sound funny in America, but as 4 matter of fact tony first class little fighters have been turned ou. in the isiands during the last two or three years. The Philipinos take naturally to boxing. After cleaning up in the Philippines, if he can-do it, Mendies ig going tc England to fight Wilde. ‘The Australians say that he has been boxing since he was fifteen years old, ‘Nas a terrific puuch and is the fastest boy on bis feat that Australians have ever seen.

Boxing is booming in Australia, and at Sydney they are bullding a $250,000 stadium fa apenetd for boxing con- ‘tests. It seat 10,000 perple. That's for a place so far from New Jersey. “@ngland is waking up to the tm- ohampions. So one, Tommy Harrison, 4s about to invade America to get a dettle with Johnny Buff. Harrison is twenty-eight years old, sell scasoned and experienced, and has fought his : Ae the top slowly. recently defeated Charles Le- @oux of France, one decision in ten rounds. Ledoux was reccgnized ban- tam champfn of Europe. According to the English critics, Harrison is “the best turned out in England since eon of Billy Bimmer.” a0, he’s good. WE'D LIKE TO SEE THIB. If any ove. has a doubt that Carpen- ter come to Amyrica to fight Tom Gibbons with the world's light-heavy- weight title at stake, it isn't Carpen- tier. Georges writes that he intends vo leave France in I‘ebruary, already ‘g training and jn fair fighting cond!- “on, and that two ur three weeks %f work in this country will ut him for the Gibbons match. If Carpentier comes uver on time it will be up to Gibbons. Tom has leaned up with about twenty knock- ute in the last few months. This 1s one match in which there won't be any “soft picking” fur either man. (Copyright 1921 >+ Robert Eiges.) N. C. A. A.

Unless the mag- nates get busy between mow and March it looks as if most of the major! league clubs will start the 1923 pen- nant race with the same outfits. Only the New York Giants and the &t. Louis Browns have really done anything io bolster up for the coming drive. Wise baseball men differ as to whether McGraw strengthened or weakened his club when he sacrificed rt Burns to get Heinle Grob. However, it is agreed that the Brown4 gained strength with the addition of Dave Danforth, the star ptcher of Columbus, considering of | course that lives up to promise. Doubts as to this were expressed in some quarters, where it was said that the former Columbus star has a semi-baik motion that will not get yy Ame: League umpires. ‘The Cincinnati Reds with any uind of iuck will not miss the services of Heinie Groh as much as it might seem.
