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 the squeezer on ant pugilistic lem ons.

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 I GEORGIA STATE FAIR I I MACON, GEORGIA I I OCTOBER 15-25 I I ■ Under the Auspices Georgia State Agricultural Society i I W. E. DUNWODY, President HARRY C. ROBERT, General Manager I 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. fHE ATLANTA GEORGIAN A.NU NEWS. SATURDAY. AUGUST 31. 1912 THE BASEBALL CARD SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Today.

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. MARTIN MAY X?
