Th.ree Middlgweights in Rg.ce
Gibbons, Clabby and Chip Named
. TEW YORK, July 18.—Thes mid
. dleweight championship of the
world, which has been ban
tered around for nigh onto four years
—or ever since Stanley Ketchel was
laid low by a slayer’'s hand at Con
way, Mo., on October 15, 4910—will
shortly be in possession of one who
will be -universally recognized as
THE champion of 158 pounders. The
fleld of contenders i=s simmering
down and the number of eligibles for
the title can now be counted on the
digits of Mordecai Brown's fingers
on that mitt.
So it s with the middleweight sit
uation. There are just three men in
that division who are so far superior
to ‘the rest of the crop of pretenders
that the only way to clamp the mid
dleweight crown down on the head
of the "rightful owner would be to
hold-an elimination affair, the ulti
mate: victor. to be proclaimed the
world o’er as the middleweight cham
pion.
. . .
‘&NYWAY. the middleweight prob
= lem, which has disturbed the
fighting element for cver three vears,
is nearer to solution than it has been
in all that time.
There are any number of fair
“middles,” but the trio who should be
fighting it out for final honors are
Mike Gibbons, Jimmy Clabby and
George Chip. If Gibbons will only
enter the controversy we are likely
to have an undisputed champion in
the 158-pound division before the
current year rolls by. If Gibbons
could only be induced to tamper with
the men whose displacement is 153
pounds, he would have no dificulty
in showing to the world {n convincing
fashlon that he is the only and legi
timate successor to the title vacated
by &e late lamented Stanley Ketchel.
. . .
GIBBONS has done nothing of late
to startle ‘the' pugilistic realm,
but his record substantially bears out
his class. Chip and Clabby demon
strated- just a fortnight ago that their
pretensicns to the title must be giv
en due and serious consideration. In
far-away Australia, Clabby took it
upon’ himself to eliminate the most
dangerous man of his weight in the
world. He beat up Edfie McGoorty
so handily for a few rounds that Mc-
Goorty deliberatelv fouled him in the
eighth.: The defeat puts McGoorty
out of the running for the title he
once imposed upon himself, and of
which he made Australians believe he
was the rightful owner.
At about the time Clabby was
showing up McGoorty, George Chip
knocked all the championship aspira
New York's Great Fight Manager
Gathers in Coin With Boxers
of Ordinary Ability.
sW YORK, July 18.—The cloth-
N ing business lost a good sales
man when Charlle Griffin per
suaded Dan Morgan to try to get him
a couple of matches. For Morgan
found the ring game so remunerative
that he.sold his interest in a New
York dress goods business and de
cided to devote all his time to “sell
ing boxing ability.”
it was seven years. ago that Grif
fin, after a quarrel with Harry Pol
lok, hooked up with Morgan. And in
those ' seven years Morgan has de
veloped into the very best fight man
ager in the game to-day. And this
in spite of the fact that he has never
vet managed a champion.
Dan, however, doesn’t care to han
dle champions. He has proved his
ability to go out and get the coin with
fighters of only ordinary abllity. As
Danny explains it, “Champions ex
pect too much money for their serv
ices, and they like to pick the soft
ones. I can do better without them."”
Morgan is doing better without a
champion on his string thanany man
ager of a title holder. Danny is the
real “money-getter’ among the fight
handlers. For instance, he press
agented the third-rate, inefficlent, but
likable Knockout Brown into $136,-
000 in three and one-half years. That
trick of christening Brown “Knock
out” did much to turn the trick.
Then Morgan was wise In making
matches, and he saw to it that the
Kayo -boy's original personality was
well exploited.
Though he had real abllity to work
with in managing Jack Britton, the
astute Danny hag not been so fortu
nate with the Chicagoan. That's be
cause Britton hasn't the personality
of Brown. Just the same Jack has
made $60,000 since Jjoining forces
with Morgan two and one-half years
ago. In seven years preceding this
partnership Jack had not averaged
$2,500 a year from his ring efforts.
Al McCoy is the latest to hitch up
with Morgan, but Danny hasn’t had
the Brooklyn middleweight long
enough to show what he can do.
All told, Danny now has sixteen
boxers under his management. “If
a bhoxer really has an interest in his
work and will train faithfully I will
get him the matches and if he has
the ability to go to the front he can
make the coin.”
And there's no manager in the
game to-day who can get as much
coin for a boxer as Danny Morgan,
of New York. -
NEW BIKE TANDEM RECORD.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, July 18.—A new world's
cycle record for tandem team Was
hung up -at Hernville to-day when
H H. Lee and J. Bywaters covered a
mile {n 1 minyte 50 2-3 seconds
tions out of Billy Murray in fifteen
rounds. Murray was being looked
upon as a ‘‘second Stanley Ketcheil,”
when he collided with Chip. He
proved such for a few rounds, and
then the bubble burst. Murray twice
previously had beaten Al McCoy, who
scored a fluke knockout over Chip.
e o B
LOOKING over the fleld,ag'sln, there
is still another middleweight
whose work in the past entitles him
to consideration. Jack Dillon" is the
man in mind. His defeat on Inde
pendence Day of Sailor - Petroskey,
who gave Clabby a great fight for
twenty rounds, stamps Dillon as a
fighter of merit. Dillon is capable
of giving Gibbons, Chip or Clabby
ail they could handle in a fight over
the route. Dillon has fought Chip
about seven times, and came out un,
scathed in his tussles with "McGoor
ty, Moha and Klaus.
Clabby and Gibbons have fought
three times, the verdict going to
Clabby once and the other two bouts
being no-decision affairs. The best
way to determine the championship
would be to stack Clabby against
Gibbons, and the winner of this bout
against Chip.
IF‘ the “law of the ring” were adher
ed to Al McCoy, the Brooklyn
fourth-rater, would be the champion
of middleweights at this writing. The
“law of the ring” lis simply . this:
That when a chamvion dies the title
reverts to the previous holder. Thus,
when Ketchel was murdered, the
crown shifted back to the brow of
Billy Papke Papke lost to Frank
Klaus on a foul in fifteen rounds over
in Paris, making Klaus the champion.
Klaus, in turn, was knocked out
twice by George Chip, who, in his
order, succumbed to Al McCoy in a
punch.
But as long as there was a ques
tion about Papke being the legitimate
champion when Ketchel passed away,
none of his successors was looked
upon as champion. The manager of
each of these men. however, admit
ted that his charge was the real
champion; but who ever took a man
nger's word without some saline
sprinklings?
. - -
THE championship is still in abey
ance, and the only:way to clear
the situation would be to hold a se
ries of elimination bouts. The one
fighting his way through the mess
should then be the recognized cham
pion. The International Boxing Fed
eration would do well to insert a
hand in the sterilization, the welter
weight class being the other.
Coast Promoter Suggests Boxing
Committee to Keep Game Alive
Throughout the Country.
F the boxing commissians in the
I different States where fighting 'is
legal will only hold together un
der “fire,” writes Billy Birch in The
Chicago Herald, Tom McCarey, the
veteran Los Angeles promoter, has a
scheme whereby present champions
will be forced to fight at least three
times a year or lose thelr crowns.
The only hitch in McCarey's idea re
mains with the rulers in charge of the
game, but the plan looks so good on
paper that it would be advisable for
them to think twice before turning it
down.
The coast promoter wants a com
mittee formed, composed of an East
ern, Middle Western and Coast fight
ing authority, whose duty it will be
to look after the champions, or, in
other words, “champion the cham
pions.” It does not necessarily fol
low that the new commission will in
any way interfere with the authori
ties of the different States permitting
bouts, but its purposes will be to keep
the game alive.
This body, 'if it materializes, will get
together once or twice a year and set
aside certain dates for championship
e¢ncounters. The nearest contender
for the title in question will be
awarded the date as the title-holder’s
opponent, and the mill must be pulled
off unless an accident befalls elther
fighter. The club offering the best in
ducements gets the contest, so the
toxer will have no kick coming as
regards a hold-up.
In a few words, this boxing com
mittee will be something on the order
of the national commission governing
baseball and its players. No salary
will be paid the members, but their
expenses will be paid by a general
tax on the different clubs interested
in the plot.
The main object of McCarey in
suggesting this union of clubs is to
do away with the artistic champions
and force them to fight in a ring now
and then instead of through the news.
