Gunner Smith Meets Frank Mo
' ' '
ran Tonight, While Jimmy
Wilde Is to Box Zulu Kid.
A
Bv Harry Lewis.
UNBOAT SMlT‘tho only box-
G er before the¥listic 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 Clermont Rink in
gay Gotham the Gunner will be asked
to peddle his fistic wares in a sched
pled ten-round mill with Frank Mo
ran. Upon the result of this bout,
nccording 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,
- * -
hGITNBOAT SMITH will have to
show me in his bout with Mo
ran that he is the Pittsburger’s mas
ter if he hopes to get on with Wil
lard again,” states Buckley to a Goth
em scribe. “The Gunner is showing
ell his old-time form in his work
puts, 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
jo the box office to see him meet Wil
ar
o “« &
u[ I* 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,” con
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
remembered that Smith lost to Car
pentier 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.” 1
“ - -
IT 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 bosti
heavyweight in this country. It was
on December 27, 1912, that Smith won
a twenty-round decision over Fru.nk‘
Moran at San Francisco. On May 20
of 1913 he handed Jess Willard the
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. |

THE writer would suggest a bout
with the winner of the Moran-
Smith set-to and Fred Fulton, the
giant from St. Paul. If Moran or
Smith could beat the big Westerner,
then it weuld be time enough to talk
of & Willard match. We will know
more about the fighting ability of
Messrs. Smith and Moran after to
night's conflict. |

TWO 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
welght championship of this country,
will tackle the sensational Jimmy
Wilde, the title holder of that class
In 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. |
g 9 ‘
JIMMY WILDE has been touted to
. the sky by all those who have
seen him battle. As the Zulu Kid is
& 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 flywelght champlonship
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.—Ambitious
American League managers
who have begun to gather a bit
of hope 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 much 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
good 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
olution to retire. Bill has taken the
midst of his business activitles up in
Lewiston, Maine, Bill has taken the
‘time to speak a little piece concerning
his attitude., Said piece is no positive
commitment. In fact, Bill was very
careful, indeed, to have it stated that
;thus far there is positively no re
traction,
\ kN .
iHOWEVER, the well-known art of
| picking between ‘turns, or taking
pointers from the general context,
lays the foundation for quite a heal
thy surmise that Willlam lls 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 1
might be able to help them if 1 re
turned to the Sox as manager; but
this is only an idea of mine and may
never be carried out.
“If T thought I could do them a fa
vor I 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 I would
actually dip into the game again.”
“Have you changed your mind any
sXx(‘e a few weeks ago when you were
80 certaln you wouldn't return?”’ Car
rigan was asked.
“I don't know that I have,” he re
plied, “but I'd like to help out the new
owners if I could.”
e e
HAVE you received any offers from
the new owners?”
“No, 1 haven't heard a word from
them. I suppose they don’'t want to
start talk'ng business until they get
everything settled regarding the
ownership, but whatever their delay
is T haven't recelved any communica
tion from them. I've been dolng some
little thinking on the problems of the
Red Sox, and if I did do anything in
the way of gett'ng back into the game
it would only be for one year, until
the new owners learned the ropes.
“lI wouldn’t consider any long term
contract, should I do any business
with the new owners, for, as I said, it
would only be in the nature of helping
out with my experience for a year un
til Ward and Frazee learned the art
of successfully owning a big league
ball club.” '
“It's fairly certain, then, that you'll
come back?”’ he was asked.
“Indeed, it is not,” replied Carrigan.
“I say all these things, thinking them
over rather than as definitely decided
matters, and it is merely because I
‘would dislike to see the club upset
that I entertain the thoughts at all—
more sympathy than anything else,
you might say.”

WILLARD-CARPENTIER A POOR MATCH.
\HE PROPOSED WILLARD-CARPENTIER match is not such a
’I thriller when you stop to think about it.
Willard, with about aqfoot in height and 80 pounds of weight
the best of it, has the battle half won before he starts. Of course
& champion is the card, but then much better matches could be made.
Les Darcy, 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 as Gunboat Smith and Bom
bardier Wells, but the idea of such a little fellow stacking up against
l the mammoth Willard seems to be more of a joke than anything else.

DEAR TAD—DOESN'T 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?”
You know the fellow who thinks that Georgie Cohan just BECAME
a big theatrical man, and that Victor Herbert was LUOKY, and that
Caruso just sang because he COULDN'T HELP 1T?
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 yet whether Dickens was a moviel
actor or is just an imitation swear word.
Shake those fellows up who read your stuff and tell them that no
REALLY SUCCESSFUL man ever got to the front except by HARD
WORK. As ever, THE DOCTOR.

MY DEAR TAD—I SEE WHERE James “Yelping” Johnston Is
trying to “lie down” the defeat of his “big concrete mixer,” Tom Cowler,
at the hands of Bill Brennan, the “Irish heavyweight champlon,” which
took place at Rochester, N. Y. To begin with, inclosed you will find
clippings where Brennan won, and, at that, “The Big Mayo Mauler”
was 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 Cowter beat Brennan, that animal would kick
his braing out. In the first place, Cowler's dome, which is of solid ma
hogahy, 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 like Brennan,
Answer: It ean not be done.
Exit Leo and the Mayo Mauler, Yours truly,
LEO P. FLYNN.

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 te
display thelr wares for the first time
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, “Ple” 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 boys
‘all played together in great shape,
and even Joe Bean is no doubt satis
fled with the team’s chances for this
season.
.4 &
THE Spartanburg quintet gave Qz
club boys a stiff workout, bu
this is just what Bean's warriors
needed for this time of the season,
Next Saturday night the Knoxville
five will come to our midst to clash
with the champions, and the locals
are sure to be in much better shape
for next Saturday night’s contest than
they were for the South Carolinans,
In the game against the Spartane
burg squad, Westmoreland and Due
bard starred for the locals. These
lads were all over the floor, and thels
work drew round after round of ape
plause from the fans, The ot:a
members of the team also did g
work, Johnny Graves, as usual, keep~
ing the home team on their toes
throughout the fray with his aggres
sive tactics,
o& 9 L
IT is mald that this season will probe
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
and their third championship. Joe
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, fog
work during the 1918 campaign,
