Show AUSTRALIA NOT UTOPIA OF BOXERS San Francisco, Nov S. Grover Hayes, the Columbus, Ohio, lightweight, light-weight, returning from Australia with his manager, Willard Stuart, reports that the supposed prosperous field there for American boxers is entirely over rated. Stuart also alleges that Hugh Mcintosh, the principal Australian Aus-tralian promoter, broke the contract which Mcintosh's repreBentatho. Tom 1 Andrews had given Hayes before they left this country. "Rather than 'suffer this injustice," said Stuart, "we paid our own way j home when Mcintosh had guaranteed . us round trip tickets." I "Sam Langford received only ?325 for defeating McVcy in Melbourne re-' re-' ' centlv. The Svdnev stadium, which ' ! ' i8 said to seat 20,000. holds but 9,000 I i ' at the most. The prices range from I 50 cents to $2 50. I "Australian fight rules prevail, forc- f Ing boxers to separate as soon as i r one's hand touches another's shoul- i der." ' i nn |
