KANGAROO PUGILISTS IN WAR

Number Estimated at 1,000 by Snowy Baker, Australian Promoter— Many Stars Lost. Snowy Baker, the famous fistic promoter of Australia, says that there are frrobably 1,000 Kangaroo boxers in the war, and that probably more than half of them have sacrificed their Ilves in battle. The number of boxers-in the service of other allies, while not as high in proportion to population as that of Australia, is great, nevertheless. France, especially, lost many of her most brilliant fistic stars on the bloody battlefield. _ . -
