Offer Is on Way for Champion Jack Johnson to 60 to "Big Isle” to Do Battle
AUSTRALIAN PROMOTER HOT AFTER OUR FIOHTERS
By W . \V. Naughton.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. JL
Here is a cablegram which came to
me a feVv days ago:
"Sydney, August 28.—Naughton.
Examiner, San Francisco: Kelly,
Spalding's manager, sailed steam
er Venture today, representing
final adjustment Jack Johnson and
other boxers’ contracts.
(Signed) "HUGH D. M'INTOSH."
Here, then, is one promoter who
does not believe that Johnson will
remain retired if a lucrative offer
is put before hiFn.
What is- more, the Australian
fight handler must feel that he,
of all men, can name terms and
conditions that will induce the
champion to affix his name to arti
cles of agreement. Otherwise, Mac
would scarcely go to the expense of
sending a special envoy from far
Australia.
Mclntosh surely possesses the
temperament sanguine. This man
Johnson has fooled him many
times, but that does not seem to
act as a deterrent.
In the present case, it looks as
though there has been an exchange
of cablegrams and that something
sent from this end has given Mc-
Intosh fresh courage.
Personally, I believe that in due
time it will be announced that
Johnson has decided to go to Aus
tralia, and that Al Tierney, the Chi
cago sporting man. who acts as
Johnson's adviser in business mat
ters, has been made the custodian
of a big wad of confidence money.
"Wowser Element” Quieted.
From the way Mclntosh is keep
ing after Johnson, it is evident that
the “wowser element." as the oppo
nents of boxing are called in Aus
tralia. must have taken a back seat.
Following upon England's refusal
to permit the Johnson-Bombardier
Wells bout, there was agitation
against the introduction of Johnson
into Australia. Quite a controver
sy sprang up over the boxing sit
uation generally, and it is gathered
from recently arrived Australian
papers that the wowsers received a
setback.
Many influential citizens of Aus
tralia. including several members
of parliament, went to bat also for
the Queensberry pastime, and the
opponents of sport ceased opposing
for the time being.
If Johnson accepts Mclntosh’s
terms, it goes without saying that
the champion will be required to
figure in matches with McVey and
Langford. These are the only men
suitable as opponents for Johnson

in Australia, but if Jack managed
to conquer his two colored rivals,
Mclntosh would be sure to scare up
other matches for the champion.
For that matter. Johnson would
act as a bell wether." Joe Jean
nette is averse to going to Aus
tralia and leaving Johnson in this
part of the world, but if Johnson
took steamer, Jeannette would be
sure to follow. It may be that Jim
Flynn, too. would have a touch of
Australian fever and that Bombar
dier Wells and Al Palzer would
join the grand congress of black
and white heavyweights at Sydney.
Seeking Talent Everywhere.
This fellow Mclntosh is surely
going in for fight promotion in a
big way. He has had his Rush
cutters Bay stadium roofed over
so that it is no longer a fine
weather pavilion, but an all-the
year-round affair. He is reaching
out in all directions for talent, it
being doubtful 1 if there is a. ring
man worth his salt either in this
country or England who has not
had a proposal of some kind from
Mclntosh.
On the face of it, it is evident
that Mclntosh is figuring on pull
ing off two world’s championships
within the next year. His course
is plain as far as Johnson is con-

BADEN CAPTURES SIO,OOO
EMPIRE STATE CLASSIC
SYRACUSE. N. Y., Sept. 11.—Baden,
piloted by A. S. Rodney, of Jersey City.
N. J., won the SIO,OOO Empire State
stake for 2; 14 trotters, the feature
event of yesterday’s grand circuit pro
gram at the New York state fair, in
straight heats, Forced to her limit by
a classy field of rivals, Baden trotted
the three fastest heats of the year, in
the second heat being forced by Es
ther \V. to clip iter record to 2:05 3-4.
In every heat Baden led from gong
to gong, though at times only by a
head. In the final test, horse and driver
were tendered a noisy ovation by the
thousands of spectators.
LEACH CROSS LOSES ON
FOUL TO Jt.MMY DUFFY
NEW YORK, Sept. 11—A bright
ring future is predicted for Jimmy
Duffy, the Buffalo lightweight who won
from Leach Cross, the “Bowery Den
tist,” last night at the St. Nicholas
Athletic club on a foul. Cross persisted
in using the Kidney punch, a blow
which has been barred by the state
boxing commission, and in the fourth
round Referee Din Tone stopped the
contest, thus technically gi.ing Duffy a
victory.
cemed, and it looks as though he
is holding Hughie Mehegan in that
country in the expectation that he
will be able to lure Wolgast or
Wolgast's successor to Kangaroo
Land.
It was given out some months
ago that Mehegan. who is the un
disputed lightweight champion of
the Antipodes, was coming to this
country to seek a match witli Wol
gast. But he djd not. come. In
stead, Grov. r Ilnyts left for Aus
tralia a few days ago and will be
sent against Mehegan during the
Christmas holidays out there.
With his newly roofed stadium
to keep going - "the largest boxing
pavilion in the world.” Mclntosh
proudly calls it —the Sydney
matchmaker is not likely to let a
fine card like Mehegan get away
from him. If Mehegan wins from
Grover Hayes in anything like
clean-cut style, an attempt to lure
Wolgast to Australia will surely
be made.
Johnnie Kilbane is another
American fighter Mclntosh would
like to get his hands on. In fact,
the only men Mclntosh is not both
ering about are the middleweights.
Tile reason is that he recognizes
probably there is neither head nor
tail to the middleweight division.
MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT
CAUSED BY PARALYSIS
NEWARK. N. J.. Sept. 11.—That the
motorcycle accident on the Vailsburg
motordrome Sunday, which has thus
far resulted in seven deaths, was due
to a sudden attack of paralysis suf
fered by Rider Hasha is the opinion of
Dr. Thomas Pascall. He declares that
Hash probably became suddenly blind
and helpless from a paralytic condition
resulting from sudden hemorrhage of
the brain.
The physician had been treating
Hasha for an ailment which at times
had seriously affected his eyes. This
was due to pressure of blood upon his
brain during his speed demonstrations.
