Excerpt from The Australian Star (Sydney)....Owen Sullivan seems intent on forcing his way back into title contention though a victory over the aged Jim Hall, however decisive, may prove to be inadequate to impress the championship committee....The unbeaten Pat McIntyre, on the other hand, is poised to assault the pugilistic mountain-top with his string of victories culminating with his dismantling of the once dangerous Joseph Goddard....Jimmy Henry followed his narrow win over Ned Ryan with a boxing seminar over the old defensive wizard Mick Dooley but his failure to again demonstrate any real heavy artillery would seem to place him in the rear of the pack of young contenders....Despite carrying a roll of fat around his middle the one-time Empire champion Bob Fitzsimmons had more than enough speed of hand and fire-power to dispose of one Tom Parks a part-time roof thatcher....Two newcomers to keep an eye on are Bill Lang of Melbourne and George Stirling of Cobar....
