AT THE BALL GAME
And All Stands—ln Bottles 5c
Mike Gibbons, a Welter Star,
Must Now Go Up to “Middle”
MIKE GIBBONS might start
to worry a little. The St.
Paul man has cleaned up
about everything there is in the
lean welterweight division and .
from the looks of that depleted di
vision lie will get les= than noth
ing from further forages among
tile 145-pounders.
Even though Mike may make
frantic claims that he is nothing
but a welterweight, he isn't so far
from being a real middleweight
and why not take a shot at some
of the pickings in that division?
The middles are not a desper
ately tough lot —most of them, that
is. If Mike is really the wonder
that his friends claim him to be
he could well afford to give away
a little weight to the stars of the
156-160-pound squad and depend
upon his class to carry through.
Why not? Others go out of their
classes and meet with success.
And Mike, they say, is one of the
real stars of the world.
Many Examples to Follow.
Why not emulate the example of
Abe Attell. Ad Wolgast, Tommy
Ryan. Bob Fitzsimmons, Sam
Langford, Joe Choynski and many,
many others that might be named
and take a chance? Class carried
those stars through and Mike
shouldn't be afraid.
We read with considerable sur
prise the statement made by Bom
bardier Wells' manager about Gib
bons. He says that Gibbons Is one
of the wonders of the world as a
boxer and that he could make a
monkey out of Eddie McGoorty.
Putting aside our opinion as to
whether an English manager of a
ather mediocre English heavy
weight should 6e permitted to
voice an idea on the subject, we'll
say that "until Gibbons has shown
that he Is 4n the class with second
rate middleweights we couldn’t
dope him up at all as a fit member
of the middleweight division
If Gibbons can make good as a
middleweight he would indeed be a
welcome addition to the time hon
ored Queensberry class made fa
mous originally by Jack Dempsey.
But he hasn't been proved any
thing but a great welterweight
yet. and that, too, according to his
own statements, so why should the
Englishman make such a wild
statement?
Could Beat All England.
if this statement is true, Gibbons
indeed could whip all of England,
for McGoorty. during his two trips
to the other side, beat everything
they had anywhere near his weight.
Funny, but when the name of
Gibbons is mentioned the middle
THE ATLANTA GEORG LAN AND NEWS. \\ EDN'ESDAI, JI LY 31. 1912.
West fight fans hark back to his
meeting in Milwaukee with Jimmy
t’labby. This was one of the very
worst battles ever perpetrated on
the Cream City fans, many of
whom stalled to leave the building
before the men were half through
with the ten rounds. And Gibbons
was generally blamed for the hor
rible showing that the men made,
and further, many accused Mike
that night of dogging it consider
ably and not standing up manfiill)
to his guns.
Proves a Great Welter.
Be that as it may. Mike has yet
to be proved as a middleweight,
though he doubtless is one of the
world's greatest welters. And fur
ther, he hasn't beaten anything
much so far because of the general
leanness of the welterweight divi
sion.
Personally, I think he would do
well battling among the middle
weights of the present day, but it
is idle to guess.now that he could
whip this man or that one. He’ll
have to show first that, he can whip
some of the second raters before
he aspires to battles with the real
leaders of the class.
GENE PAULET SPRAINS
ANKLE: OUT TWO WEEKS
CHATTANOOGA. TENN July 31.
The pennant aspirations of the Mobile
Gulls received a heavy blow yesterday
afternoon when Gene Paulet sprained
his ankle, falling over first base. His
Injuries, which necessitated Jacobson's
shift to first base, practically cost the
Gulls yesterday’s game.
According to Dr. G. M. Ellis, the loca'
club physician, Paulet will be out tot
two weeks.
Campbell's arm is still sore, to make
matters worse.
MAY RELEASE McCOY.
BRUSSELS, July 31.- It is believed
here that "Kid” McCoy, who was arrest
ed last week in London on a provisional
extradition warrant on the allegation that
he had been implicated in a jewelry rob
bery in Belgium, soon will lie given his
liberty. It is now declared in some quar
ters lie was the victim of a conspiracy
on the part of the real robbers, who In
duced him to go to Ostend on the pretext
of arranging a boxing match, but in real
ity to throw off suspicion from themselves

BOXING
Late News and Views
Johnny Kling, who meets Lee Kelly in
St. Louis this week, has agreed to box
Tommy Cary some time about the last
of August before the club offering the
best inducements
* * •
• Those on the Inside of the movement
to prohibit boxing in the stair of Califor
nia seem confident they will win their
point. Many noted boxers recently ex
pressed their belief that there would be
no more boxing there after January 1.

Harry Coleman. Joe Mandot’s manager,
is negotiating with .Jack I Milon to train
his protege for his fight with Joe Rivers
on the coast Labor Day
♦ * *
Although Mandot cut his little linger
with a cigar dipper in Memphis yester
day it is not likely the match will be de
clared off unless blood poison results.
“Special Delivery” Hirsh ami Joe Phil
lips will make up the semi-wind-up to
the Dannx Goodman-“ Prince” Henry
match, to be staged at a club near Chi
cago tomorrow night.
Charlie White says he is still wailing to
hear from Champion Johnny Kilbane
about the SI,OOO side bet he posted as a
guarantee for a ten-round match with
the featherweight boss.

is now a full-fledged “White Hope.” He
won all the wax from Arthur Pelky. an
old trial horse, in New York recently.
Jack White has signed articles to box
Frankie Russell and Joe Thomas in New
Orleans some time in the near future
If Jack Johnson is in earnest about his
retirement from the ring, as was an
nounced yesterday. it is very likely a
negro pug will still be boss of the heavy
weights, as Joe Jeannette should be able
to take care of any of the so-called
“Hopes.” Jeannette will probably claim
the title. •

PacKey McFarland has signed a con
tract to box Young McCartney in Phila
delphia, .August 30. Lackey defeated Mc-
Cartney some time back, but the pro
moters xvere so impressed with McCart

the two again.

Tom McCarex plans to stage his next
tight in Los Angeles at night instead of
the afternoon in an effort to avoid the
immense heat which affects the fans and
boxers when the bouts are staged in the
afternoon. If Jack White and Harry
Thomas agree to a match they will fur
nish the first night card.
