'
Gunner Smith Meets Frank Mo
. ' '
ran Tonight, While Jimmy
' .
Wilde Is to Box Zulu Kid.
By Harry Lewis.
UNBOAT SMITH, the only box-
G er before the fistic world to
day who holds twenty-round
decision victories over both Champion
Jess Willard and Frank Moran, is go
ing to get another chance to reach the
top of his division, \
Tonight at the Clerguont Rink -in
gay Gotham thé Gunner will b& asked
to peddle his fistic wares in a sched
uled ten-round mill with Frank Mo
ran. Upon the result of this bout,
wccording to Jim Buckley, promoter
of the bout and manager of Smith,
depends whether or not the big Gun
boat will ever get another chance at
Jess Willard.
. . -
HG[‘.\'BOAT SMITH will have tp
show me in his bout with Mo~
an that he is the Pittsburger's mas
er if he hopes to get on with Wil
ard again,” states Buckley to a Goth
im scribe. “The Gunner iN showing
Il his old-time form in his work
outs, but I realize that boxing fans
will have to see for themselves that
Smith is packing his old-time stuff
before they will pay their good money
in the box office to see him meet Wil
lard.
]- - -
fl‘ ' Smith whips Moran decisively,
I am going to send Jess an of—|
fer of $30,000 to box Smith here with
in the near future at my club,” t‘on-I
tinues Buckley. “Should Jess refuse
this purse, I will make a strong bid
to get Georges Carpentier to box
Smith in a return bout, should the lat
ter arrive on our shores. It will be
rememberea that Smith lost to Car
pentiéer on a foul in six rounds on
July 16, 1914, at London. In my opin
ion, Smith was winning by a wide
margin when the bout ended, and I
think a record-breaking crowd would
witness another Smith-Carpentier
mill, should the pair be rematched, es
pecially if the Gunner can dispose of
Moran.”
- - .
l'J‘ seems that Buckley has pretty
much confidence in his protege.
We hardly believe that Smith will
gain his old place in the heavyweight
division that he held a few years back,
when he was considered the best
weavyweight in this country., It w:\si
m December 27, 1912, that Smith wnn‘
4 twenty-round decision over Frank
Moran at San Francisco, On May 20
of 1913 he handed Jess Willard mni
same dose. Neither of these glove
wielders has wiped off the sting of
those” defeats, despite the fact that
both of them are considered better
fighters by boxing fans in general at
the present time. ‘
-. . !
Tllli writer would suggest a bout
with the winner of the .\l-‘r;m»‘
Smith set-to and Fred Fulton, the
giant from St. Paul. If Moran or!
Smith could beat the big Westerner, |
then it would be time enough to talk |
of a Willard mateh. We will know
more about the fighting ability of
Messrs. Smith and Moran after to
night’s conflict. |

T\\'H of the greatest boxers of the
“Pee Wee" division are due to
don the.padded mitts tonight in far
off London, where the Zulu Kid, who,
with Jimmy Pappas, shares the fly
weight championship of this country,
will tackle the sensational Jimmy
Wilde, the title holder of that class
‘'n London The Zulu Kid-Jimmy
Wilde match is a scheduled twenty -
round affair, and boxing fans on this
side of the water will anxiously await
the result of tonight's mill,
-- - <
JIMM\' WILDE has heen touted to
the sky by all those whe have
seen him battle. As the Zulu Kid is
2 great little ringman, he should be
able to make the English wonder step
at his best. He will also know more
about this Wilde glove-wielder after he
finishes with the American battler, If
the winner of the Wilde-Zulu Kid go
could be prevailed upon to meet Jim
my Pappas, the winner of such a bout
would then be entitled to a clear
claim on the flyweight championship
of the world,

Red Sox Manager May Recon
' '
sider Retirement to Help New
Owners on Winning Way.i
. |
By Innis Brown. |
EW YORK, Dec. 18.—Arbitious
/American League managers
who haye begun to gather a bit
of hepe for the 1917 season in the re
port that Manager Bill Carrigan, of
the Red Sox, is all through with the
game, can take a hitch in the belt and
brace for a shock. Already it is be
ginning to look very mucn as though
‘Big Bill, of Lewiston, was only in
dulging in a little joke.
Not that Bill was just spoofing the
‘boys when he emitted certain sounds
to the general effect of a retirement.
No doubt Bill was entirely and grimly
sincere in his speech, But spreading
conversation about quitting with the
next starting time still several months
away and actually stepping out for
'goood are horses of a different color.
Oh, yes, quite different.
Already it would appear, Bill is be
ginning to mellow up a bit on the res
vwlution to retire. Bill has taken the
midst of his business activities up in
Lewiston, Maine, Bill has taken the
time to speak a little plece concerning
his attitude. Said piece I 8 no positive
commitment. In fact, Bill was very
careful, indeed, to have it stated that
thus far there is positively no re
traction.
. . &
HU\\'E\'BR, the well-known art of
| picking between turns, or taking
pointers from the general context,
‘la_vs the foundation for quite a heal
thy surmise that Willlam is some
what doubtful even in his own mind
about his resolution of retirement.
Hear what Carrigan has to say to a
Boston scribe, who has but lately
sounded him out:
~ “The new owners of the Red Sox
are starting in on a hard job, and I
'might be able to help them if I re
\turnm] to the Sox as manager; but
this is only an idea of mine and may
[no\'m- be carried out.
. “If T thought I could do them a fa
vor 1 might consent to return to the
game; but even after I consider that
‘thought I don’t know that when it
came right down to business 1 would
actually dip into the game again.”
1 “Have you changed your mind any
Lsill('l' a few weeks ago when vou were
80 certain you wouldn't return?”’ Car
‘rigan was asked.
| “I don't know that I have,” he re
i‘.liml, “but I'd like to help out the new
owners if 1 could.”
. - .
IHA\'E you received any offers from
the new owners?”
“No, T haven’'t heard a word from
}rhmn, I suppose they don't want to
start talking business until ‘hey get
everything settled regarding the
ownership, but whatever their delay
is I haven't received any communica
tion from them. I've been doing some
little thinking on the problems of the
’Rmi Sox, and if I did do anything in
the way of getting back into the game
Ilt would only be for one/yvear, until
the new owners learned the ropes.
“l 1 wouldn’t consider any long term
contract, should I do any business
with the new owners, for, as I said, it
would emly be in the nature of helping
out with my experience for a vear un
til Ward and Frazee learned the art
of successfuily owning a big league
ball ciub.” ?
“It's fairly certain, then, that yvou'll
come back?” he was asked,
“Indeed, it is not,” replied Carrigan.
“l say all these things, thinking them
over rather than as definitely decided
'm:utl-m. and it is merely because |
would dislike to see the club upset
that 1 entertain the thoughts at all—
more sympathy than anything else,
You might say.”

WILLARD-CARPENTIER A POOR MATCH. _
AHE PROPOSED WILLARD-CARPENTIER match is not such a
’1 thriller when you stop to think about it.
Willard, with about a foot in height and 80 pounds of weight
the best of it, has the battle half won before he starts. Of course
a champion is the card, but then much better matches could be made.
- Les Darey, for instance, would make a much more interesting fight. .
with Carpentier than the big, awkward Willard would.
| Darcy and Carpentier are both middleweights. Both are wonder
ful fighters, and, as there is no advantage on either side, a fight be
tween them should be a corker.
‘ Carpentier did beat some heavies, such ag Gunboat Smith and Bom
l bardier Wells, but the idea of such a little fellow stacking up against
the mammoth Willard seems to be more of a joke than anything else.

DEAR TAD—DOESNT IT MAKE you sick when you hear a big
healthy galoot about the age of 30 curse his luck because he “never
had a chance?”’
Yon zn-vw the fellow who thinks that Georgle Cohan just BECAME
a big thehitrical man, and that Vietor Herbert was LUCKY, and that
Caruso just sang because he COULDN'T HELRIT?
Doesn’t it give you that malarial feeling?
The sort of fellow I mean is the one who spent his youth playing
pool and the horses and doesn’t know vet whether Dickens was a moviel
actor or is just an imitation swear word,

at the hands of Bill Brennan, the “Irish heavywelight champlon,” which
took place at Rochester, N. Y. To begin with, inclosed yon will find
clippings where Brennan won, and, at that, “The Big Mayo Mauler”
wus not half himself, having had a lot of trouble with his eyes of late,
and laying off since July, with only two other fights, Now, If Johnston
was to tell a mule that Cowler beat Brennan, that animal would kick
hix brains out. In the first place, Cowler's dome, which ix of solld ma
hogany, is as free from brains as an “elephant’'s back is from feathers,”
and it would be impossible for a thought, no matter how small It was,
to penetrate such a thick skull. He therefore, would have to depend on
brawn alone to beat a heady fighter ke Brennan

'
Joe Bean's Champions Put Up
Good Battle Against Spartan
'
burg Y. M. C. A. Quintet
HERE is joy in the camp of the
I Atlanta Athletic Club basketball
team today. The champions on
last Saturday night had a chance to
display their wares for the first t'lmi .
this season, and, according to those
present, prospects for the local team
winning the Southern title for the »
third consecutive time loom up very
bright.
True, “Pie” Weaver and Forbes, twa
of last season's great stars, were not
in the line-up in Saturday night's
fray against the Spartanburg crew,
but despite the loss of these two stars
' the team looked very good. The beys
Lall played together in great shape,
and even Joe Bean is no doubt satis
| fled with the team's chances for this
season. /
‘ ¢ = @
;THI-J Spartanburg quintet gave the
{ club boys a stiff workout, ‘but
,fhls is just what Bean's warriors
heeded for this time of the season.
~\'i-xt Saturday night the Knoxvilla
five will come to our migst to clash
:wlth the champions, and the locals
|are sure to be in much better shapa
| for next Saturday night's contest than
“h--y were for the South Carolinans.
In the game against the Spartan<
Elvurg squad, Westmoreland and Du~
{ bard starred for the locals. Thesae
| lads were all over the floor, and their
work drew round after round of ap+
plause from the fans. The other
| members of the team also did good
| work, Johnny Graves, as usual, keep
ing the home team on their toes
| throughout the fray with his aggres~
sive tactics
- .- -
;I'l' is said that this season will prob«
ably be the last for most of the
| veterans on the team. This means
that the locals will try their best to
end the season's play with a victory
rnnd their third championship. Joea
Bean is slowly grooming his young
stars, among whom are Emory Locke,
ex-Marist and former Georgia player;
W. A. Dodge, another ex-Marist play
| er, and Bill McLaurin, of the club, for
| work during the 1918 campaign,
