He curtailed his .stay In Australia upon learning of his .brother1 auddan death. Just before em barking for the long ssll, Corbett wrote rtha author of thla (creed In the following train t "1 her tha making of a rhamplon In thla fellow (Tom Cowler) and I am ure he la tha fastest big man In the world today. Py the time he land In New York I wilt have him ready to meet any whit man in the world. "Of course, he ha a lot to learn, but la picking up faat He will be In New York aoma time In August, ready to meet WIN lard, or anybody else." Aa Idol of Aastralla. Australia's boxing populace wai Just getting warmed up to Cowler when he was taken away by Corbett. He was 'rapidly becoming an idol on the southern continent when Corbett became home arlck, and resolved to return to tha states. During our short stay In the antlpodra Cowler engaged In three combats, and In each ha emerged victorious by the knockout route. It took lilm only seven rounds to dispose of the trio. After tha third trlui.iph over Ben Doyld In two rounds for the heavyweight champion ship of Australia, tha Islanders were frank to admit that there waa not a man In Australia that could cope with the hard-hitting and clever Cowler. Corbett declare the Australians were clamoring for a match between Cowlor and WIN lard, and Jim told them he would strive to attain that end and bring tha match to Australia If possible. Two Americans la Disfavor. Whilo on the subject of Australia, we are In receipt of aome very Interesting data, from "Snowy" Dakar, the chief boxing promoter of tha antipodes. Baker is kind enough to Inform us that two American boxers have been barred from the Australian ring for life. That Is, they will never again be per mitted to fight at the Stadiums, Limi ted, baker's boxing emporium. Jeff Smith of llayonee, N. J., and Toung At wcll. the American lightweight, aie tha victim of this edict. Smith came Into disfavor for twice fouling Lea Darcjr In Sydney May XS, the referee being compelled to stop tha contest In tho second round. Atwell's offense waa his refusal to try In hla bout with Jack Clune, which resulted In hla disqualification In the nineteenth round. Baker aaw to It that At well got his transportation home, and tha Ptadltim people paid off the liabilities Atwell had Incurred during his stay In Australia. If such strlnpent measure prevailed In this country American fight fan might be treated to better bouts; surely there would be mora action than the Principals condescend to put Into their work at present. riads a New TVowder.

'It looked good right there. He was oung, he had the Irish blue eyes, came Irom the right sort of stock, and I knew that If he would only llten to me I d have him going. "I took the old bov up to Tommy Tracy's club In Tortland and put thj cloves on with him. Not being In shape, I told him that I'd try him out for jthreo rounds, and I did. I pulled every aort of trick I knew, but didn't feaxe him at all and In the third round when lie flouted me on the side of the head I almost figured my Australian trip off. I knew then that he was no boob at the game, was fast and could hit. "I wasn't aatlnfled yet, ao had Tracy get a big fellow to box with him. Ha got one and Cowler handled him Ilka an old timer. He was cool at all times and had tha fellow in hand every atep of tho way. Well, we went to 'Frisco and they gave ma the ha ha.

"Oeorge grabbed a Mg sailor and brought him around. We took Wm to a club and Tom nearlv killed the sailor In the third round. The first two rounds were slow, aa the sailor crouched and covered Ms head, then darted out with a swing as wild aa a propeller out of water. "Cowler wasted a bunch of blows on the fellow's back and head at flint, but when I ahowed him tho folly of such stuff he stepped back and waited, and aa the vilor let fly again ao did Tom. and off went tha tar to the other side of the room and we stopped It.

Hugh Mcintosh had him figured a flivver, too. Snowy Baker laughed at me when I told him that I wanted Tom to get a fight. They Informed me that Frank Moran had won from him on a foul over In England. "Well, I knew that Tom was 13 years old then, and Just breaking in. Cowler came to my dressing room that night with tear In his eyes. He said they wouldn't give him a fight, and that he waa ready to go back on tha next boat. I said: 'Tom, you stay right here. They laughed at Jeffries when he came to New Tork, and they howled at me when I went to New Orleans to fight Butllvan. I'll get you a fight, and I'll bet that they will be hanging around my room here begging me to let you go again after that.' "Well, we did get a match with Lea O'Donnell, the clever big fellow. They wanted to show Tom up with a apeed king, get me? I'm going ahead of my story, hut here's the big laugh of tho whole thing to me. Hugh Motntoah had me sign up to tour Australia, aaa, and I was one of his big earda. (When I got Cowler matched Mcintosh sent ma to shother town sb that I couldn't oven see Cowler go. "He said: 'This fellow will be beaten and you'll be the biggest Joke In Aus tralia, so. Jim. if you Insist upon this man fighting you go to another town tor a week every time ha fights. On the level, I didn't see any of tha three tights he had there, and he won them alt. I haven't seen him In a regular fight yet. "Well, this clever O'Donnell went eight rounds before the ' police stopped it. 2 told Cowler before tha fight to box O'Don nell and not to slug, because If you start slugging with a clever man the chances are that you'll look like the biggest boob alive. Ha makes you look stupid. Cow ler told me after - that ha could hav topped Lea in three rounds, but he fol lowed ordera and cut tha fellow to rlb bona boxing him. "After that fight the critics told me that Tom waa all right, but that he had no punch. I told them to get me a. hitter, and they got Coghtll. Tom went after him and put him away In three rounds. They began to wake up then, and got Ned Doyle, the Sharkey of Australia, a man who never had been knocked off hla feet. Tom met him and knocked hint cold in two rounds. "They went erasy then and offered us all kinds of things to stay, but my en gagements were up, and I decided to come over her and let tha wise guys of America have a laugh or two. "I don't want Willard or Coffey right away for Cowler. I would let him fight them If the publlo waa willing, but right now, if Gibson or Tom Jones haa any man they think can beat Cowler, trot htm out. Tom 1 training now at Doug laston, L. I., and in a week or so wo will be ready to throw the old Kelly Into the ring and dare them to step up. "I know a fighter when I see one, mind you, and if I'm wrong about Cowler I'm ready to drop tho boxing game entirely and go back to bookkeeping."

OUT FROM THE GOLDEN WEST Buoyed Up with Courage and Hav ing Pluck, Stanford Boyi Sur priie Eastern Oarsmen SHORT OF FUNDS, BUT OAMEY By FR4.NK 41. MKKU. NBW TORK. July 10. "They know nothing about oarsmanship. .Tliey laa'aed and they aplaehed In a way that was fearful to see. But when they went Into the stretch they put their amazingly powerful arms to thoea blades and they dipped until it seemed ss If they wjuld lift out the bottom of the river and the almost won." That's the way the rowing experts de scribed what the Leland Stanford ciew did In the Poughkeepslc race of nearly two weeka ago. And tha description is about trus. But one thing the experts left untold, and that was tha real atory of what those Leland Stanford boys had to endure to get their chance) to atlenca tha sneers of tha eastern rowing au thorities who figured that Btanford waa a rowing Joke. Tha game, wonderful fight that thoae Stanford boy a put up, not merely In tha race, but from tha moment they became qualified to participate in tha big river battle, read something Ilka a tala from fiction. And It's a story of tha pluckiest, earnest fight aver made In tha annala of sport How the Chaa.ce Waa Wow. Leland Stanford won Ha cnanc ta compete at Poughkecpsle by winning tha triangular I'sclflo coast race In April. Tho boys were keen to go, but tha Ath letic association of Leland Stanford had no money to fully defray tha expenses. The total expenses of the trip figured around fS.GOO. The Athletto association donated all It could ll.OflO Some towns folk donstrd another tl.COu and tha boys succeeded In collecting about MO from tha alumni. But that wasn't enough. They needed more. But before they could get more the time came for them t leave for the east. It waa a rase of leave at once and gamble on the chance of gelling back or withdrawing from tho race And those gam, plucky klda decided to gamble. They arrived at Poughkeepalo without a dollar in their pockete. They wera out of condition. They had no money for tha hire of men to give them rub down after their workouts on tha river. Bo they rubbed each other. Other trews had training tables and ate only those foods that were designed tu give them strength anj to keep them In condltk.n. The Stanford bos ate t a regular boarding bouae and took a chance on the food. They dldn t have special drinking water, as did the men on th othr crawa. They drank any old kind ef water that waa dished up to them. reward Their Boat. And they hocked their boat for the food they ate. Thay had no money to y tl.elr board bill, but their boat wss worth about fro. The boarding house l:eeper decided that that waa sufficient security (or his !) board bill. The boys told him thst ss so 90 a they got back to .the coast they fait sure they could rata tb board bill money and send It along to hint. Other crew had boat builders and as aistanta to take care of their sheila The oaramen In the other boats did nothing else but row. but the Stanford boys, un able to hire boatmen, acted aa their owns boatmeav They fixed their (hail when ever It needed fixing. They did the var nishing and they made all the necessary shifts In tha rigging. And they did It with borrowed tools. Different with gtonford. The other crews wera on the river nearly a month before the race waa rowed. And all during tha early spring they had almost dally practice sessions. They had the benefit of tha coaching of tha most experienced and most famous rowing coaches In tha world. But It wss different with the Stanford boys. The only training the Stanford boys got was about twice a week on a little lake near their college In California. Some times they didn't get In more than one day of practice a week back In California becauae their midget coach waa a work ing boy and ha couldn't get away from hi Job whenever he wanted to. When they landed at Poughkecpsle tho kids found the weather totally dif ferent than what they had been used to. Tha humidity In the east sapped their strength. But they didn't whine they Western League Averages Cloh Battiaar. O. W. L. T. AB. n. H.
