A PUGILIST IN Tt)WNAustralian Champion Will Open* ^Sparring Classes.Martin Denny, the champion lightweight pugilist of Australia, dropped here from the S. S. Moana and will remain in the Islands for some time. Denny was booked for passage from San Francisco to Sydney, but was induced to remain over by his old friend McAullffe, the jockey and trainer. These lights of the sporting world were chums as lads in Australia and their delight on meeting here was mutual. Denny has been urged to open a sparring school here and will likely do so at some place on the beach. He appears to be a quiet, gentlemanly young fellow and has some fine testimonials as an instructor Denny's visit to the Coast was entirely unsatisfactory. He was unfortunate enough to get into business with an Irresponsible club and ac-i aiding to all the San Francisco papers was robbed of two contests and the | purses. As he has a record of twenty-three ring victories In Australia and England. he is quite naturally disgruntled over his sad San Francisco experiences.
