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 Clermont Rink in
gay Gotham the Gunner will be asked
to peddle his fistic wares in a sched
uled ten-round mill with Frank Mo
ran. Upon the result of this bout,
according to Jim Buckley, promoter
of the bout and manager of Smith,
depends whether or not the big Gun
hoat will ever get another chance at
Jess Willard.
* - -
MGL'NBOAT SMITH will have to
show me in his hout with Mo
ran that he is the Pittsburger's mas
ter if he hopes to get on with Wil-
Jard again,” states Buckley to a Goth
am scribe. “The Gunner is showing
ell 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-
Jard.
.» - ‘
NIF‘ 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. “SBhould Jess refuse
this purse, I will make a strong bid
o get Georges Carpentier to box
‘b‘mlm In a return bout, should the lat
ter arrive on our shores. It will be
remembered that, Smith lost to Car
genno-r on a foul in six rounds on
uly 16, 1914, at London. In my opin
fon, 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
{\eda!l,\' if the Gunner can dispose of
Moran.”

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 best
cavyweight in this country, It was
n December 27, 1912, that Smith won
& twenty-round decision over Frank
Moran at San Francisco. On May 20
f 1913 he handed Jess Willard the
¢ dose. Neither of these glove
" rs has wiped off the sting of
s defeats, despite the fact that
f them are considered better
iters by boxing: fans in general at
he present time,
. - -
THH writer would suggest a bout
with the winner of the Moran-
Smith set-to and Fred Fulton, the
glant from St. Paul. If Moran or
Emith could beat the big Westerner,
then it would be tim\-\ enough to talk
of a Willard match. ~We will know
more about the fighting ability of
~ Messrs. Smith and Moran after to
night's conflict.
- - -
T\\‘fl of the greatest hoxers of the
4 “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,
:\1!1 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 awalt
the result of tonight's mill.
- . *
JHTMY WILDE has been touted to
/ the sky by all those who have
fen him battle. As the Zulu Kid is
8 great little ringman, he should he
able to make the English wonder step
at his best. He will also know more
é;-’mu{ this Wilde glove-wielder after he
nishes with the American battler, If
the winner of the Wilde-Zulu Kid go
could be prevalled upon to meet Jim
my Pappas, the winner of such a bout
would then be entitled to a clear
laim on the flyweight vhnm;-lonshlp'
of the world,

Red Sox Manager May Recon
sider Retirement to Help New
Owners on Winning Way.
.
By Innis Brown.
EW YORK, Dec, 18.—Ambitious
American League managers
who have beguh 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 hiteh 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 Bfll 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, ves, 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 activities up in
Lewiston, Maine, Bill has taken the
time to speak a little piece concerning
his attitude. Said plece is no positive
commitment. In fact, Bill was very
careful, Indeed, to have it stated that
thus far there is positively no re
traction,
- - *
HOWEVER, 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 William is some
what doubtful even in his own mind
about his resolutlon 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 I 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 4o them a fa
vor I might consent to return to the
game; but even after I consider that
thought 1 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
since a few weeks ago when you were
so certain you wouldn't return?”’ Car
rigan was asked.
“I dor't know that I have,” he re
plied, “but I'd like to help out the new
owners if I could,”
. . -
H‘\VE you received any offers from
the new owners?"”
“No, I haven't heard a word from
them. I suppose they don't want to
start talking business until they get
everything settled regarding the
ownership, but whatever thelr delay
is 1 haven’t received any communica
tion from them. I've been doing some
little thinking on the problems of the
Red Sox, and if I did do anything in
the way of getting back into the game
it would only be for one year, until
the new owners learned the ropes. |
“I wouldr'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 ownlng 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 bhecause Il
would dislike to see the club u[rlo’t‘
that I entertain the thoughts at all—
more sympathy than anything else,
you might say.”

WILLARD-CARPENTIER A POOR MATCH.
NHE PROPOSED WILLARD-CARPENTIER match is not such a
rI 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
& champion is the card, but then much better matches could be made.
Les Darcy, for instance, would mnake a much more interesting fight.
with Carpentier than the big, awkward Willard would.
%rcy and Carpentier are both middleweights. Both are wonder
ful fighters, and, ag 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
the mammoth Willard seems to be more of a joke than anything else.

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 heavywelght champion,” which
took place at Rochester, N. Y. To begin with, inclosed you will find
clippings where Brennan won, and, at that, “The Blg 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 Cowler beat Brennan, that animal would kick
his brains out. In the first place, Cowler's dome, which 1s of solld ma
hogany. is as free from brains as an “elephant’s back s from feathers,”
and 1t would be fmpossible for a thought, no matter how small it was,
to penetrate such a thick sknll. He therefore, wonld have to depend on
brawn alone to beat a heady fighter llke 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
Atlanta Athletic Club basketball
team today. The champlions 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 lpom up very
bright,
True, “Ple” Weaver and Forbes, twa
of last season's great stars, were nog
In the line-up in Saturday night's
fray against the Spartanburg crew,
but despite the loss of these two stara
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.
i
T HE Spartanburg quintet gave the
club boys a stiff workout, but
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 champlons, and the ‘locals
are sure to be in much better shape
fdr next Saturday night's contest than
they were for the Soutih Carolinans.
In the game ‘against the Spartan
burg squad, Westmoreland and Du
bard starred for the locals. Thesq
lads were all over the floor, and thelr
!\\nrk drew round after round of ap
| plause from the fana. 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 aggTen~
sive tactics,
.- - .
!_IT Is sald 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
!nnv' their third champlonship. Joe
| Bean 1 slowly grooming his young
