BOXERS FOR AUSTRALIA.

—^ I LONDON, Sept. 20.— News comes from j Paris that M. Robert Eudcline has sailed | for Australia with liis formidable team j of boxers. The star, of course, is Arthur Wyns, of Belgium, feather-weight- cham- • pion of Europe.- This unassuming boxer! is a scintillating star. After he knocked out Joe Conn some Americans with- whom I discussed Wyns declared unanimously that ho was,capable of defeatinug. any man of .his weight in the world, . "inclndiiiK ttie" tTnited States." Eudeline's contract for Wyns stipulates that he shall meet Kilbanc and > three other boxers at the Sydney Stad- '. iura. ...Y7 Criqui is another member of the troupe. /This clever bantam should also make t?o'od. Evidence , of his class is to be found in Ledoux's avoidance of him. that j redoubtable fighter preferring- to travel to, America. Francis Charles, welterweight champion of France, just falls short of first-class. We saw him fight Jqhnny Basham; at Olympia, and though he was outpointed he proved beyond a doubt that he possesses one- essential for, cliampionship honors— toughness. In addition, he ,il§o stacks a heavy punch, and should! uo' Avell in "Aussie," where^the class is not canal to Basham's. *7> The remaining member is Zozo. DiipTe, feather-weight champion , of France. This boxer was recently operated on for appendicitis, and in such a bad wav that it was feared he would be unable, to join tho party. Ho has, however, made -a wonderful recovery, which, it ishoped, will" be helped considerably by' the .long, voyage. . .
