Snm M'Yca, tho coloured heavy-weight boxer, who is visiting Australia under contract to Mr. Hugh D. M'lntosh, arrived in Sydney last Friday. So genial is his smile, and so quiet ft ml unassuming is his manner, tliat ho h:>s already established himself in tho good graces of tho sporting public (says the "Sydney Morning Herald"). Regarding himself lie has little to say, save that lie is out hero to meet Johnson on Boxing Bay. Regarding his prospects with the r champion, he said, "I don't want to brag, j but I think that I'll have a real good ; chance of defeating him. I have fought Jack three times now, and have carefully 1 studied his tactics. I think I know all • his dangerous punches, and by exercising ° a little caution and taking raro not to ® get in the road I will give him a good tiisslo for the championship. When I ' met him before I was comparatively in- ° experienced, but even then managed to stay 21) rounds with him. Sinco then ' he has always maintained that I gave , him tho shrewdest handling he has ever experienced." Asked his opinion of the • prescnt-da.v Australian boxers, tho visi- ® tor replied that lie lwd seen Lang, Squires, the late "Sid" Russell, "Ted" Nelson,- "Tibby" Watson, and a number i of other lesser-known Australians in ac- , Hon, but had not been favourably im- , pressed with them:: "Your boxers," ho smiled reflectively, "seem to have deteri- ' orated of late years. But a few years 3 back and tlio very name Australian was x sufficient to ensure its proud possessor being considered in tho champion class. But. now things .seem to have changed. You have not got nnv more representatives of the Peter Jacfcou's, "Joe" Godis dard's, Griffo's, or 'Bob' I'it7,simmons's r class. Do I think Lang is to be eon:i sidered' in tho light of the best of tho '. wliito hopes? "Well, not seriously. Ho ■. is undoubtedly a good game lighter, but l: to my mind he still has a lot to learn, r and at his age and with his long ring ex- ;. perionce it scarcely seems reasonable to expect any great improvement in his methods. The man who, to my mind, shows tlio most' promise is Mini' Flynn, tho . Pueblo fireman. Sinco he defeated 1 Kaufmanii so handily ho must bo taken 9 into consideration." : WniCH? II ANN AN 01! TRACY? Tho meeting between Tracy and Ilan- - nan for tho light-weight championship of - the Dominion, which takes place to-rnor- - row evening at tho Town Hall, is naturs ally being lo,oked forward to with interest. :, This will' be Tracy's first engagement , since the accident to his arm, received when he met Murphy, 110 is reported to be in excellent trim, and confident of holding the title against the Sydney man. The visitor, by his display against Kelly, ■whom ho defeated last month, has come rapidly to tho front, his strong point 1; being a clean forceful style which is ai- . ways appreciated. His present weight is - about Ost. Gib., while his opponent will 2 weigh in tho neighbourhood of 10st. „ The two preliminaries set down are - expected to prove interesting. Rogers was T last seen in a bout against t Gosling, when , his showing was very favourably com- ,. mented on, whilo his opponent, Hardy, 0 is said to 1)3 a clover exponent. Ellis, 1 tho feather-weight champion, will bo op--1 posed to Ireland,.- from Waipawa. The 1 latter has a good local reputation, not :. yet having suffered a defeat. :l Sinco tho box plan was opened at I Armit's on Monday last there has been i brisk booking. There are, however, still :1 some excellent seats left, and patrons will - do well to book at once. - . f CYCLING. 1 MELBOTJRNE-WAERNAMBOOL RACE. i The Dunlop Company forward a list of f handicaps for the New Zealanders who have entered for the Warrnnmbool to 1 .Melbourne road race (IGS miles), to bo run , on October 11.

"While going upstairs I knocked my right shin bone, grazing the skin off," says Mrs. Annie Ryan, of 4S Barry St., C'arlton,. Melbourne. "The dye off my stocking got into the abrasion, causing it to itch. I neglected this and it soon developed into a poisonous, ulcerous sore My leg started to swell, and 1 suffered excruciating agonies. I could not get to sleep at night, and I used to scream with the pain, especially when from excess of discharge, the bandage or bedclothes would stick to my leg. At last I became so bad that I was unable to walk, and had to lav up. "All ointments, lotions, oils and other remedies I used failed to do any good, so after reading about Zam-Buk I obtained a supply and commenced using it. This excellent balm Iwgan at once to cool tho burning,- throbbing pains, and in a few lays my leg was fast on the road to recovery. As I persevered with Zam-Buk the wound healed up quickly, and scon my leg was absolutely better, and twelvo months of misery and pain v;crc ended. New skin formed on my leg where once a hole had been." Zam-Btik is a wonderful healing balm for piles, eczema, blood-poisoning, ulcers, bad legs, festering wounds, ringworm, scalp sores, poisoned wounds, cuts, bums, scratches, bites and all skin injuries and disease.
