A story sent to the United Slates some t ime UK" i hat .lack Fen ley, a local promoter, pro-moter, was endeavoring to bring about a big 1 ourna ment between the best boxers of the world, should be taken with a grain of salt.

Tin- man in charge of allairs here ! is Jack Munro, one of tin; best known managers and promoters in the country. Munro has also had a world of experienee in oi hor parts of the 'world, principally Soinh Africa ami Kin-ope. lie is well lil.cd b- tiie boxers lu re and also the soldier sol-dier hoys, for lie handled many uf their benefits 'during the war. It can a Iso be stated that the offer made by Badlieu of $70, "Hit or $!M.i,nao for Jack J enipsey to box here, as reported in the press, was absolutely unauthorized hv the Stadium management, nor did r.ailheu have ary authority to offer Benny Leonard for two matches here, one wiih Lew Ed w.ii ds, as reported. l'.til Squires, the Australian heavy-w heavy-w eight, w ho went to the ' idled States about twelve years ago to annihilate Tommy Plums and some of the lesser lights among 'the , white hopes at that time, but who was put Into oblivion by Burns in two rounds, -wants to make, another an-other comeback. Bili is now a farmer or station franeh-er franeh-er i keeper, ilea r Xowcaslle, X. S. '., and is quite well to do. Despite liis age for he is now 10 years old ho gets tho fever e v ry once in a while. The other nkht Kill attended a fight at Newcastle bciwein Jim Bailie and Hilly .McXabb, and when it was over Squires issued a challenge to the winner, putting up a deposit de-posit of 2 to make good his challenge, i it is likely that the match wiil be made. j Brandy Causes Defeat. i Squires had bis last match in K)li, when ; he fought Have Smith for the title. Bill ; was going along all right for six rounds, 1 hut began to tire and his second, Chiddy .Myan, hauled out a flask of brandy to ', give him a little bracer. Chiddy was not , careful as to the amount Bill drank, with the result that he erupt ied the flask. ! Being in a rathtr weakened condition the brandy ha"d its effect, and when Squires started from lus corner for the seventh round he did a jazz dance from one side of the ring to the other. Smith thought he was acting up, but. having seon the brandy act, lave let go a swing for the jaw. It just grazed Bill's chin, but he went over as if hit by a. pile-driver. It was a clean knockout all right, bu t from Kid Brandy and not from Smith. 1 |
