Dave Smith Is Best Australia
Has Developed Since Fitz’s Day
By Ed. W. Smjth.
Ijjl 4 Dave Smith boxes as well in
this country as some of the
’ advance reports of his skill
-would indicate he will. Eddie Mc-
Goorty and some of the other
' American battlers are in for a
mighty hard time.
Dave Smith is said by many tn be
the best product of Australian rings
Since the day of Bob Fitzsimmons.
He is regarded as even better than
Dan Creedon. who was just behind
Bob Fitz and Jim Hall In class,
and not very far behind either.
We wont have long to wait to
find out about his Smithlets. for he
is going to parade with Eddie Mc-
Goorty in a New York ring next
Monday night. And it should he
some little parade, too.
Lippe Praises Him.
Al Lippe. an excellent judge of
fighters and Who has achieved an
international reputation because of
the frequent trips he takes abroad
with American fighters, says Smith
is one of the fastest men on his feet
he ever has seen and thinks he will
be a hard man to land on.
Dick Klegin, another Internation
al gent, who has been teaching them
American promoting methods on
the other side of the Atlantic for a
number of years now. has charge
of Smith's affairs and naturally is
loud in his praise of the Austra
lian. Dick feels almost certain
that Smith will be able to take the
measure of McGoorty.
Wanted the Best First.
‘.‘There .has been some criticism
of me because I picked out Mc
. Goorty for the first opponent." Kle
; gin writes. "These people figure
that I. ought to get a few of the
soft ones first and thus give Smith
a chance to feel sure of his ground,
in this country. Now, I believe I
have done exactly what is right in
picking out the man many think is
the best of the American fighters at
the weight. lam not looking to put

I To The Citizens of Georgia: I
We invite you to the best and grandest State Fair that has ever been
held in Georgia.
A State Fair is an institution that bids fair to bring good and lasting
results to the state in which it is held.
A State Fair is an educational exhibit of county and state industries.
Year by year those who attend the State Fair are demanding that better
facilities for educational advantages obtain. Fewer people attend the
Georgia State Fair for the simple purpose of an outing, for a day’s excite
ment, and more are gleaning information from the exhibits. Many county
fairs will be held before the date of the Georgia State Fair, October 15-25th,
I and the best from these exhibits will be brought to the State Fair. We ask
you to support your State Fair by attending and bringing the family, and
profit by the great lessons learned by studying each and every exhibit, ask
questions, start discussions and absorb ideas from others; after this is done,
our association has provided you with recreation in the form of the best
“Midway” ever seen at any previous fair. More free acts to amuse you.
Good music. Make your arrangements early to come. Support the State
Fair for what it is doing in the upbuilding of our great State of Georgia.
Yours for Greater Georgia,
W. E. DUNWODY, President
Georgia State Fair

people don't seem to consider. Even
if by great good fortune McGoorty
should be able to outpoint Smith
in this ten-round bout, Smith won't
be any the worse off because of
having been bested in a short con
test by one of the country’s great
est of men. It is never a disgrace
to be beaten by a really great man.
Would Have Good Alibi.
"Smith could always say that it
took America's best to beat him.
"At any rate, if McGoorty gets
away with it he will know he has
been to the races.
"After we get McGoorty s scalp
we will proceed to camp on the
trail of Frank Klaus, of Pittsburg,
and then go after Georges Carpen
ter, the European champion;
"Already Smith is in great shape.
He does his road work in the morn
ings with Johnny Hayes, the Olym
pic Marathon ex-champion, and
works out in the afternoons with
Bob Armstrong and Al Palzer.
Kid McCoy in Charge.
"1 have arranged for Kid McCoy
to come over here and take charge
of Smith's training in the future,
and think the Kid's advice will be
invaluable to him. Bill Naughton
told us a short time back that
Smith was the best man in Austra
lia since Bob Fitz's day and 1 be
lieve it. Fitz himself has predicted
that Smith can not be kept out of
the championship. You know lie
knocked out Jack Lester in four
teen rounds after Lester trimmed
Bill Lang for the Australian title.
"I handled Sam MeYea for five
years and am free to say that Sam
never had anything on Smith as
far as speed and cleverness are
concerned.
"Just wait and hear what they
say about him when he opens his
box of tricks at Madison Square
Garden next Monday night."
But you may note that there isn't
a word said about the weight of
this fellow. We are to.ld that 165
pounds is the best figure he can
make with safety. If that’s so, he
will be something of a misfit in
this country. He is to do 162 ring
side for McGoorty. who doesn’t
have to weigh at all.

CASTRO HANGS OIOS
PORTSMOUTH MANAGER
RICHMOND. VA„ Aug. 31.-Direc
tors of the Portsmouth Baseball and
Athletic Corporation, owners of the
Portsmouth franchise in the Virginia
league, spent three hours and a half in
executive session last night. When
they adjourned at midnight they would
make no announcement as to what they
did in the squabble between Captain
Bland, president of the club, and Man
ager Castro, of the Portsmouth club.
No change of managership of the club
was announced.
Lou Castro, who has been the center
of a rather stormy exchange of corre
spondence with Captain Bland during
the past week, was present at the meet
ing. He was charged with permitting
his men to ioaf on their jobs. Several
days ago ht asked to be released, so
that he could return to Atlanta to look
after his business interests there.
Portsmouth is tail-ender in the Vir
ginia league.

The Soiuh will send to the cham
pionship tournament of the United
States Golf association at Wheaton,
HI., which begins Monday, the strong
est team that ever represented it in a
national event. in years past quite a
few Southern players have entered the
national tourney, but never have any of
them had a chance. In 1910 quite a
delegation of Southerners entered, but
it was largely a joy-playing proposi
tion. as none of Jhem had the least
earthly chance. This year the South is
sending its best players, to wit. the
team of the Audubon club, of New Or
leans.
The Audubon delegation includes W.
P. Stewart, twice Southern champion:
Leigh Carroll, once Southern champion:
A. F. Schwartz, the first Southern
champion and low score man at the
last Southern event, and R. G. Bush, Jr.,
one of the top-notchers. in addition,
two othgr notable Southern playerswill
take part. They are R H. Connerly,
for years the champion of Texas, and

golfer of Louisville. Ky.
Out of this bunch of golfers one or
two at least ought to qualify. Schwartz
and Bush are notable medal players

Connerly. the Texan, plays in weird
form, but he's an old game cock and a
scrapper all the way. He has been
playing golf since the days of gutta
percha balls and he is a whale in Texas,
where they play mighty good golf.
All in all. the field that faces the
starter at the near-Chicago course on
Monday is the greatest that the event
ever knew. It’s a small field. The
class of it has scared off the joy riders.

When the blood becomes infected with any unhealthy humor the ef
fect is shown by boils, pimples, and rashes or eruptions on the skin. Humors
get into the blood usually because of an inactive condition of the elimina
live members. Thus unhealthy matter is left in the system to sour and
ferment and be absorbed into the circulation. Remove these humors and
no skin trouble can exist, because its very source is then removed. Boils,
