A MILWAUKEE PRESSMAN.

MR. T. S. ANDREWS IN WELLINGTON. Mr. T. S. Andrews, commercial editor of the "Evening Wisconsin," published at Milwaukee, Wis., U.S.A., and, proprietor of that useful publication "The World's ' Annual Sporting Records," passed through Wellington •. yesterday on his way to Sydney. Mr. Andrews, who has been visiting relatives in Dunedin, has never been in this part of tho world before. Ho thinks it is quite a nico little corner—quiet and restful, out of the hurly-burly •of the big world on the other side of the Pacific. His coming was an accident. Mr. Hugh M'lntosh, proprietor of the Sydney _ Stadium, who arranged the BurnsSquires and Burns-Johnson fights, was in the States a few weeks ago, and having aa important engagement' in London, could not very well return to Australia with. the ! smprt team of boxers who have been filling tie sporting cyb in Sydney for the past few weeks. Ho called on Mr. Andrews for assistance, and the latter at somo personal inconvenionco decided- to "help Mr. M'lntosh out. So ho'mustered a better team than Mr. M'lntosh thought possiblo at Vancouver, and sailed from the Canadian port for Sydney on September 9 last with sucli stars of the ring as Papke, Cl.ibby, Ray Bronson, and "Cyclone" Thompson, a lot that take a deal of stopping. "This is a new experience for mo, I assure you," said Mr. Andrews, "my work is commercial press-work, aaid' I only took up tho 'Annual Records' as a publication that gavo me an interest in sport of which I am fond, but it has grown and grown until it takes up quite a lot of my time, and is inquired for from all parts of the world:" Mr. Andrews states that ho will move on to London with his team on January 21. Air. M'lntosh has founded a big sporting club in the King's Hall thoro which seats 10,000 peoplo. and ho hopes to find matches for al! the clever boys now in Sydney. After that tho American pressman will return to Milwaukeo. When Mr. Andrews called at The Dominion office yesterday he was accompanied by "Rudie" Unholz, one of'the forefront, light-weights of tho world, who is to have a few weeks' spell in Wellington in company with his old campaigning friend, Mr. Barnes, of Ivilbirnie. TJnhok says that ho is crowing fat on the salubrious air of Kilbiniie, but "will stop it on the slightest provocation," wliich is i intended to convey that ho would like a match or two in New Zealand if any of tlio boxing associations could make tho nccessary arrangements. Ho has written to and had answers from most of thoso bodies,. but nothing definite has developed so far though Auckland seemed the most promising. Later, Unholz will return to America whither his wife has preceded him. His homo w in. Dovonportj lowa™ •
