1 ..v-iiry biia.ii, tne bouin Ahicaa ( hampion, is uiaicned 10 meet x>ni j.\ uau at tlie Sydney iraieiy on Apiui Oil\. . Mr Hugh D. Mclntosh hks added to his boxing- enterprises the Hippodrome in Paris, which he was to have taken over on March Ist. The Hippodrome has the largest seating capacity of any decently-equipped auditorium in Paris, and in it Mr Mclntosh proposes to hold some important championships. t Hugh Mclntosh,. the promoter, has •taken the Paris Hippodrome, and aunounces a fistic carnival with Jack Johnson, Sam Langford, Sam McVey, Clabby, Lewis, and others for his stars. • Alf Morey, of Perth, defeated Dick Cullen, the American boxer, on points last "week at Perth, before the biggest house ever seen in West Australia. The pair meet again shortly at Kalgoorlie. A . wrestling tournament under catch-as-catch-can rules will shortly take place at the Upper Hutt, the first prize being .£lO and a medal. Main, Scott, Sandow, Lenauze, and others have 'been invited to compete, and if these fine wrestlers take the mat the contest should be worth going a long way to see. Louis -Robertson, the well-known Stratford athlete, has proved again and again his remarkable merit as a wrestler under catch-as-catch-can rules. He has. defeated everyone he has met at anything near his own weight, and by his unassuming demeanour he has made hosts of friends even among the men he has beaten. He will shortly leave for lnvercargill, where he is matched to wrestle iß'eatson, of the Bluff, for a stake of ,£SO. Beatson, who turns the beam at list, has a great local reputation, and the 'nrefoting with Robertson is being /eagerly looked forward to by southern lovers of the game. The northerner will weigh 10.5. when he takes the mat. Frank Gotch, the world's champion wrestler, larft^er declaring .ov^r and ovfer. agaiin. /that foe' Ms (definitely retired, has come out again, and by winning two -matches has shown that he is in great form. • ; It is now stated that he as prepared to meet Hackensmi'dt, as the "ißussian Lion-" bias been, (thirsting- for this match for a long time now,' it looks as though these . two great rivals will get together again on the mat. Should tlvis happen, there will be an enor J ifious • attendance to witness what should prove to be the greatest wrestling bout of the age.
