IIMVAUKEE, March 8. There Is a one possibility of Jimmy Wilde, the ""satlonal flyweight champion of Kn-nd, Kn-nd, coming to this country next fall, in though Pal Moore does go across 1 engage him in a 20-round contest at , National Sporting club before that ,e. Wilde has been thinking seriously, rather his manager has, about making ( tour of the United States and then i ng to Australia for a few battles and ng home by way of India. Jack Mun-the Mun-the new manager of the Stadium in tney, has cabled an offer of flO.OOO 1 expenses for one fight in Australia, ich means that he would give him at 3t three contests, netting the little .mpion about S-5,000. He couid also i up another $10,0u) in theater work, he Cream City Athletic club of Mil-jkee Mil-jkee h;is also made an offer of $5000 Wiido for a ten-round bout, and there a half dozen others he could get in t country which would net him $30,000 ily, so that his entire trip could be de a certainty for '$75,000 or better bad for a flyweight title holder! immy has been in the army and will e to get permission to moke a tour hat kind, but the chances are he will mustered out before that time. He i has some big matches in sight in tdon, iwith Char'ie Ledoux and Criqui, French stars, and the Pal Moore :ch. which will bring him in over 000. With good health and a fair ik in the fortunes of the ring, the e champion should clean up $100,000 Ing the next year, which is surely ig some for a 112 pounder. It is sel-i sel-i that the little fellows have had a nee, such as Wilde faces, for pickup pick-up big money. George Dixon and r-TTejy McGovern made big money when m-j were champions, but they were in . featherweight class when they got, tie reaiiy big coin. Goorty Busy Boxer. ddie McGoorty, the Wisconsin mid- i'eght, who has been with Uncle ; i's forces in Europe for some time, : eing kept busy with boxing matches, ! h in Prance and England. It is very 1 rent that the training Eddie received 1 jhe army did him a world of good, for ; has been fighting better than fori e time past. He was in such poor j )e after being beaten by the late Les ; ;y in Australia that he announced his ; Rir rement from the ring. A lay-off for j My l'ral months made Eddie think over; Ki Hers, and he decided to try again, I I li:h he did after coming back to the 1 1 ves. He did fairly, well-, but he was the Eddie of old. His cleverness was tgh to enable him to,- beat most of middles and later when the army or- i Li, icame he Joined and that is where he gilt) t'.ga.ned in condition, without a doubt.

Datue it out for the international titles." Bombardier Unlucky. Bombardier Wells, the British champion cham-pion heavyweight, has been a sort of unlucky un-lucky Individual as far as the boxing game is concerned. The big fellow is a clever boxer and a hard hitter, but he has always possessed a rather weak stomach and several times he has lost battles on that account when it looked like certain victory for him. In 1912 he made a good showing and visited New York, where he easily knocked out George Rod el, the Boer champion, in three rounds. He aiso defeated Tom Kennedy and it looked as though he was about ready for something big when he boxed Al 1'alzer at the big place in New York. After putting the husky Palzer to the floor several times he became be-came a bit careless and Al just swung once to the midsection and it was darkness dark-ness for the Bombardier. It spoiled bis American tour and he returned to Kn-gkind. Kn-gkind. He made a couple of good fights and way matched up with Gunboat Smith. The "Gunner" stopped Wells in two rounds and again put him on the discard. dis-card. After some good alibis he was matched with George Carpentier and the French ma n put him to s-leop in quick order. That was in 1913. Again the Bombardier made a comeback in l'JU and was making good when the war broke out. He joined the colors and was kept busy, but he found time for a few matches between the big drives. He claimed the outdoor life had made a new man of him and it looked that way, for ho scored ten knockouts. He was being groomed for a big match with Carpenter Carpen-ter again, the same to be held in May or June, but took on a young army heavyweight heavy-weight named W. O. W. Beckett. It was darkness for Ihe Bombardier in five rounds, and at the same time It has spoiled a big bout with Carpentier which wimld doubtless have netted him over $S0iMt. ire may come back again, but it luoks now as tliough the "Hornby" person is through as far as big matches are concerned. con-cerned. Azevedo Back Again. i Joe Azevedn, the California lightweight, who retired from the game some lime ago. got the "bee" again when Benny Ivennard visited the coast and decided to make u comeback himself. Joe was ; considered a tough lua-poundar when he was battling around the east f two or t brce years ago. He did not pick easy marks, but met. every lightweight the j promoters selected without a whimper, J :md to his credit he gave the best he had. Joe fought such cood lads as Johnny Pundee. Joe Weliing, Char lie White, i; rover Hayes, Frank ie Callahan, Frankie Kussoll, Milburn Savior. Fhil Bloom, K ich it1 Mitchell and Benny Leonard. Charlie White defeated Azevedo in eighteen hard rounds in the west and In t or scored a knockout over him. Joe is just "i yenrs old and thinks he can givo a good account of himself. If he ma lies good In his first start he will go i i t or bigger game and n gain challenge White, Mitcheil and Leonard, but there ;iro few of t hem who rea by come back ii nd it is hard to believe that Joe will be iin exception to the rule. Strength comes from well-digested and thorough ty assimih) ted food. Hood's Sarsa par ilia tones the digestive organs, and thus builds up the strength. Jf you me getting "run down," begin taking Hood's at once. It gives nerve, mental and digestive strength. (Adv." |
