14 T1TE MORNIXG OKEGOXrAX, SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1914. " MIDDLE WEST GAME FASTER -PH1LBR00K Notre Dame, Chicago, Michi gan or Minnesota Could Beat L. Washington, Is View. 30-0 SCORE IS ONE GUESS Noted Football Tackle and Olympic Athlete Says Pacific Northwest , Gridiron Men Not Yet on Par With. "Big Nine." BT ROSCOE FAWCETT. While football Is on the Jump in the Pacific Northwest. George Phllbrook. famous Whitman and Notre . Dame tackle, believes that It still has a few hurdles to take before it ranks on a par with that of the Middle West. Take this for a knock or for plain (acts, but Phllbrook says Notre Dame, Chicago, Minnesota or Michigan could wallop the champion University of Washington quad at least 30 to 0 were the teams to meet under the ordinary conditions of a Fall campaign. Now, all together, boys "Whang". "I find, after playing tackle for four years in the Middle West, and then returning for a year against these Northwestern colleges, with the Mult nomah Club, that your linemen do not know how to use their hands," ex plained Phllbrook In a fanning bee after the Multnomah-Idaho game on Jan uary 1. "Perhaps the boys h re aren't trained so well when they enter school, thus forcing the coaches to concentrate on the fundamentals. Or perhaps the fact that the Middle Western coaches have larger squads to choose from accounts for the difference in st-3ngth. "At any rate," added the famous Olympic athlete, "any one of the four top-notch teams of the Big Nine could smother Washington, Oregon and these other varsity squads in this neck of the woods. Thirty to nothing would be a fair estimate of the difference between Chicago, Minnesota, Notre Dame or Michigan and the University of Wash ington." Phllbrook says ae wouldn't have last ed a full game back East In the physi cal condition in which he played for the Multnomah Club during the Fall schedule Just concluded. George Is perhaps one of the oldest heads actively participating on the irridlron. Prior to entering Notre Dame lie wore a suit at Whitman College, Walla Walla, for three seasons. Then followed four years at Notre Dame, where he performed like a Trojan. In 1912 he remained r. Notre Dame as coach of the linemen, coming to Port land for the 1913 season. He has done gallant service for the Multnomah Club both in field and track events and in football. Phil was on the American track team that captured the honor at the world's Olympic meet at Stockholm in 1912. Wheelock, the great Carlisle Indian center, will not be Been In Northwestern Conference football circles next Fall after all. The sinewy buck has folded his tepee at the University of Idaho and has stolen out into the hills and dells of the Coeur d'Alene district. Coach Griffith imparted this sad news when here with his football squad on New Year's day. "I'm sorry to lose Wheelock, for he appeared to be a fine fellow," remarked Griff. "He attended classes regularly and was a good student. I don't know why he left." While at Idaho Wheelock tipped off one of the reasons for Glenn Warner s success as coach of the remarkable Carlisle teams of every Fall campaign "Warner has plenty of husky bucks to choose from," said Coach Griffith, "and he locates two fast and beefy reds at the guard position. Then, when the Indians form for an end run Warner delegates the guard on that Bide to "get" the defensive end and put him out of business. "A defensive end is not looking for attack from that source and is much more easily handled. Furthermore, ai an extra benefit, the backtleld Inter ierenee has only the smashing half and the secondary defense to deal with. Thus the Reds excel in the open game. Coach Griffith now utilizes this same system In so far as possible, but he says he finds It Impossible to get guards fast or shifty enough to do the work with the Carlisle finesse. 2 HOT MILLS PROMISED ARMORY ATHLETIC CLUB'S SMOKER FOR MONDAY BEING ARRANGED, la Schald-Groat and Cronqofet-Stock- dale Battles Fans Predict 1., Exciting; sport. The Armory Athletlo Club's smoker at the Armory on the night of January promises to be one of the most excit ing of the Winter. While the entire programme is not settled yet, two star bouts are promised in the go at 158 pounds between Schuld, of the Armory, and Groat, of the Beaver Club, and the battle between Cronqulst, of the Bea ver Club, and Stockdale, unattached. Groat has been out of the game for tome little while, being interested in xnotorboatlng. He was the pilot of the Oregon Kid In its victorious cruise of the East. This respite benefited him and he Is prepared to give Schuld a strenuous time. Stockdale and Cronquist are on at catchweights. Cronquist makes about 145 and Stockdale Is a middleweight. This match will be of more than usual interest, due to the decision which Cronquist got over Madden, of the Multnomah Club. Stockdale and tad ien fought a rather odd fight a. month ago at the smoker of the Beaver Club. Madden got the decision, but Stockdale had an awful comeback in the la3t round, on the score of which some would have liked a longer mill. Cronqulst's disposal of Stockdale win e quite interesting as a result. MOTORBOAT CLUB TO MEET Notices of Reorganization Session Are Being Sent Out. Members of the old Portland Motor boat Club are now receiving notices in forming them of the reorganization meeting to be held at the clubhouse, loot or .Ellsworth street, January 12. Papers of incorporation were recent ly sent to Salem and whether these are returned to the committee la time for the meeting then will have no bearing on the reorganization. Most of the old stock has been signed over to Commodore C. W. Boost and before that meeting he probably will have all of the old stock back in. The club will then be ready to start the season In good shape financially. The credit 1b well over all possible ex penses and the club will without a doubt make 1914 one of the most suc cessful years of Its existence. CAIdj BOND IS HOME FIRST E. K. Oppenheimer Carries Off Hon ors In Hunt CInb Paper Chase. After a hard run E. K. Oppenhelmer, on Call Bond, finished first In the an nual New Year's day paper chase under the auspices of the Portland Hunt Club. More than ten riders followed the hares over a course of more than five miles with eight stiff Jumps. Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Cronln acted as ares. Another similar event is being planned for Saturday, January 17, but hares have not been decided upon. In Thursday's run Walter Gruetter, on Lady Myrtle finished second. FIVE BACK FROM VICTORIES Business College Team Defeats S Squads In Washington Towns. After a successful basketball tour the Christian Brothers Business College quintet returned home with three vic tories and no defeats. The hardest game was against the Centralia five New Year's day, when but two points separated the two squads, with the Portland team registering 21 points. At Winlock. wash., the local team UNIQUE HOLIDAY CARD SENT OUT BY FORMER PACTFIO COAST LEAGUE UMPIRE. . FRANK NEWHOISE AS SEEN scored 38 points to the loco'"' 21, while at Castle Rock the Portland boys ran up a score of 32 to 10. Six players made the trip, including Captain rieibcrts and Manager Winters. Wil liams, Powers, Burger and Campbell are the four other members of the traveling squad. SPORT- NEWS ISTIANA'S orbs will be turned to the southward next Wednesday, when Jess Willard, one of the crop of heavyweight hopes, is placed on trial for the killing of "Bull" Young, nrY,r. Hpd in the ring iwpfw w1 after assimilating one of the cow puncher's random blows. This is the second sensational affair of the kind in a year, Arthur Pelkey hav ing been freed of a manslau ghter charge, after hav ing caused the death of Luther McCarty at Calgary, Alt a.. 4 last May. Jess Willard. Oddly enough, "Bull" 'Young acted as Mccarty's sparring partner for that tragic battle. Now both are dead. Pew men hereabouts can figure out any way that Willard can be called guilty on any legal charge, for surely he was not trying to kill Young or even do hm permanent Injury when the fatality occurred. Likewise Young's condition when he entered the ring will be talcnn Into I consideration. From this vantage point it looks to boxing followers as if the same kind of defense that won for Pelkey at Calgary will clear Willard. Dudley Evans, well-known fistic ex pert, who is engaged In the realty business here, takes issue with a re mark in this department crediting George La Banche with the middle weight title. "Dempsey and La Blanche fought at 162 pounds, and as the middleweight limit tnen was laz, the title did not change hands," says Mr. Evans. "I re member it was dlstinctuy understood at the time, but La Blanche did tour the country after his victory claiming the title." The battle took place August 29, 1889, in San Francisco, and was for a purse of $5000 to the winner and $500 to the loser. All during the fight up to the 25th round Dempsey outpointed the Marine by a big margin. In that round La Blanche tried the pivot blow, now barred, but failed to land. In the 30th round Dempsey drove La Blanche into a corner and then stepped back to let him out. Instead of stepping straight out, as expected, La Banche spun around and his left glove landed fairly on the Nonpareil's Jaw, putting him out. Although, as Evans remarks, the boys were overweight. La Blanche is re garded in many circles as having gained the title at that time. Demp sey, however, still laid claim to the championship, as attested by the fact that when he fought Bob ltzsimmons at New Orleans, January 4, 1891, the contest carried with It the advertised title to the world's championship. The weight then,- we believe, was 154 pounds, not 153. There is a beautiful little prospect confronting Charley Morln, of Chicago, who battles Alfredo DeOro, the cham pion, for the three-cushion billiard title In Chicago Monday, Tuesday and Wed nesday nights. Whichever- one wins will have to meet Willie Hoppe later on, the balkline king having made up his mind to go out alter tne new hon ors. That is our idea of nothing to cheer about, having to meet DeOro, and the reward offered a chance to meet youthful William.

UNIVERSITY TEAM COMERS Big Leaguers Surprised at Prowess Shown by Mikado's Boys, Who May Become Strong Batters. Scott Twirls Great Game. BTO.W. AXELSON. TOKIO, Dec 9. Japan has seen America's National game, and is satis fled. Ten thousand brown men made BY THE CARICATURIST. the hills at Keio rock trying to rattle a Yankee pitcher, only to see its crack team go down to defeat by the decisive score of 16 to 3. They do not grow big In this country, but they are long on nerve and have a supreme confidence in themselves. Before the White Sox and Giants POT POURRI agreement that, if we win, we could play Notre Dame. With thoughts of colleges and bil liards rattling together the question bobs up: Why not an Intercollegiate billiard tournament? Not a college in the land is without several dozen en thusiasts at the cue game. Let anyone who doubts this visit a billiard hall near any big institution of learning and take a look around. Generally there are three or four who outclass all their fellow students In prowess on the green cloth, and who can play good enough billiards, representing their alma mater, to attract a gathering which would fill any auditorium where such an Intercollegiate match could be staged. Some booster of the game in one of the big cities ought to get busy and sound the sentiment on the ques tion. Bet the students would be will ing and eager to go to it. A tip from Ed Barrow, president of the International League, is to the ef fect that Hugh J. Horty will be a big league umpire by the middle of next season, or 1915 at the latest. Horty officiated In the New England League last Summer and now is signed to work in the International during the coming campaign. Horty is unusually well recommended, and Barrow is giving him the International League Job to school him a little more in the duties of an umpire until properly primed for serV' ice with the majors. According to re ports from New England way, Horty looks more efficient now than Klem and Evans did when at a. like stage in their careers. A glance over the official averages of the American Association reveals the fact that Jack Powell, the former star of the American League, has not lost his speed as a baserunner. Powell, who was with Louisville last year, stole his annual base Just as he had done for many years. His batting eye also was about as good as ever, for he hit .181. Probably one mistake was made in the averages, however, for Jack's name could not be found in the list of the 10 leading sluggers. Still Powell always could pitch some, and is a mighty val uable man to nave hanging around. After being called the Clark Griffith of the Southern League, Otto Jordan has been fired by the Atlantic club, to take hold as manager of the Dallas club of the Texas League the coming seoson Jordan, like Griffith in the big leagues. always has been able to keep his team up near the top, but never could pilot it into a pennant. If you should happen to feel the earth trembling, as if the old planet were unbalanced, don't worry about earthquakes or such. It will be only Jim Jenries going around the world. Someone should take Bob Fitzslm mons by the hand and lead him away from temptation. The other night at a local club he watched several pairs of "white hopes- pertorm, and Immediate ly announced that he would start train ing again. Bob was a grea fighter. Everyone knows that. But he would last maybe part of one round against any of the present crop of huskies. Not that they are greater fighters than Bob was spare the thought but simply because Fits is an in. He should hav better sense. One never hears of level headed fellows such as Jim Corbett, talking that kind of nonsense. Yale and the Carlisle Indians offe quite a contrast in a football way. Th Blue will play only one game away from home next season, that with Princeton, whereas the redskins have played and always will play every i v -J game oi any consequence abroad, came Into port the prospective hosts had let it be known that they expected to win or at least keep the score mighty close. Keio University team was picked to do the Job, but the completion,, of it is left to future generations, even though this spunky bunch of collegians played a game which was a revelation to the major leaguers. They have all the motions of the "pro"; know how to use their heads and feet to best advantage, with the chances in their favor of be coming real ballplayers. Keio Lead! Jap Teams. The Keio team is really the best that Japan affords in the baseball line. Of course Waseda University may dispute this, but the fact remains that Ameri can critics here, fans who know the game, award the palm to Keio So Keio must be given the honor of playing the most advanced game in Japan today. There has been much argument In the past whether or not the Japanese will ever become strong batters. The chances are they will. This is Mc Graw and Callahan's opinion after hav ing sized them up before one of the best pitchers in the United States. It is true that Jim Scott, who was pitted against the Nipponese, was a little bit sea sore, but at that his arm was not lame, and toward the close of the bat tle he whizzed them over In his major league form. The fact that he struca out the last three men who faced him should not be counted against the Japs, for up to that time they picked out the good ones and let the bad ones go by, and that was what made a hit with the Sox and Giants and made the players prophesy that Japan will turn out some great ballplayers before many years. There was no question about the col legians being nervous, besides being nervy. They had the confidence, all right, but this did not prevent them from being shaky in their knees wnen Jim Scott got busy with his roundhouse curve. Still, their heads never quit working.- They were on the Job every minute whether at bat or on the bases. Once they caught such a wise head as Tris Speaker off second and completed a double clay that was a corker. They ran bases with the best and stole on such a good catcher as Ivy Wlngo. They did this by taking as long a chance as anybody at first. Infield Plays Barters. Naturally, after watching Lobert, Doyle, Weaver, Merkle and Doolan per form in the infield, and Crawford and Speaker in the outfield, the work of Keio might have looked a little crude to the critics, but even with these stars to set the pace the work of the col legians did not look bad. The infield work was smooth. They played for each batter as much as any advance nformatlon aided them, and for the est they depended on which side of the plate the batter stood and took their chances with that. The outfleld- rs covered more ground than the American college player, although the right fielder had trouble of his own, which was not to be wondered at with morning sun shining in his eyes. Playing this field made Sam Craw ford remark: "And to think that I came 7000 miles to play the sun field.' The players had plenty of assistance from the fans. Don't think that the Jap is not a rooter. When anything out of the ordinary happens in the game he can give cards and spades to the Americans. Thus, when Morri got his three bagger right off the reel off Scott the stand and bleacher crowds Just went stark mad. They howled. Jumped and danced and undoubtedly a few remarks went Scott's way. That which beggars description" followed right afterward, when Myaka's single scored him. Here were the pick of two of the greatest teams in America and Keio was on the road to victory, Togo's hitting against the Muscovites was nothing like this. It looKed nice a walkover and .had it been brought to' a successful conclusion the Americans n Japan might Just as well have taken the first boat home. Sngasl Has Benders. The Japs battled valiantly to the end, but the Americans soon opened up a cannonading on Captain Sugasl, scholarly looking young man witn glasses, which . he carried with him nto -the box. Sugasl had a wide as sortment of benders, especially an un derhand shoot on which Wingo, Doolan and Weaver bit. The crowd, after all, was the real back-ground of the picture. It showed that " baseball is the coming game In this country.

Man Released on Coast Sends Christ- nas Greetings Asking; MBoes to "Pike How I'm Broken Hearted." Perhaps the most unique holiday card in Uncle Sam's avalanche of Christmas and New Year's mail was that sent out by Frank Newhouse, um pire, released by President Baum, of the Pacific Coast League, last season, and now chief of the umpire staff in the new Federal circuit. Newhouse, a former hig league train er and football coach, appearently was not worried by his release. The poem" that accompanied a cartoon of himself follows: "Isch Ga nibble." (I Should Worry.)

EDINBURGH, Scotland. Jan. 2. Hans Holmer, of New York, today won the annual professional modified Marathon race at Power Hall track, $117,592 PAID BY OREGON SPORTSMEN Finley's Report Shows Hunting Licenses in 1913 Netted $48,020. NON-RESIDENT FEES GAIN Fishing Rights Bring In $14,748 and Combination Tags Add $24,- 824 to Total Another Item Is $67 75 for Tines. Hunters and anglers of the State of Oregon paid $117,692 for the privilege of getting game from the woods and fish from the streams of Oregon in 1913, according to the figures Issued yester day by William L. Flnley, state game warden. Of this sum, $48,020 was for hunting licenses alone, $44,748 for angling licenses and $24,824 for the combination licenses at $2 each. In addition hunters from outside the state paid $1520 as non-resident fees. Another big item was $6775 for fines Imposed by the various courts for vio lations of the game laws. Of the last item, half in each case went to the general fund of the county and the other half was turned over to the Fish and Game Commission. This, in a measure, explains why hunters say that 1913 was the poorest hunting season they ever had, for there were almost 25 per cent more hunters In the field in 1913 than in any previous season. Non-Residents Set Record. The number of non-residents who en Joyed fishing and hunting privileges of Oregon In the year is a new mark and means that Oregon is coming to the front as a tourist resort, for the ma jority of the persons took the non resident licenses out in the Summer, which is taken to indicate that they were transients. An additional item on the credit side was $1236 brought In by trappers' and taxidermists' licenses. Trapping is some thing which the average person con siders a thing of the past in Oregon, but the report of the game warden shows the trapper still to be a part of the life of the state. Multnomah County was the largest individual purchaser of licenses. While the state showed more hunting than fishing tags, the county showed 8191 hunters' rights and 11,152 tags issued to anglers, and in addition, 10 combin ation hunting and fishing, bringing in a total of $21,198. Multnomah's illegal hunters and fishermen paid $1380. S.S07,O0O Fish Liberated. In 1913 the Fish and Game Com mission ' liberated 8,807,000 game fish in different parts of the state. This number probably will be Increased in 1914, as the department's plans call for a much greater supply. The woods and fields also were sup plied with 3500 game birds, of which the majority were pheasant, both OIiItio o nii I? iinirnp t,4 -...-. niA... goo pairs of Hungarian partridges, Many inquiries have been made at the office of the Game Warden re garding the new licenses. These in all cases will be turned over to the County Clerk. The latter will have the privilege of placing them in the gun stores, where they may be pro cured at the regular rates. In the future if the license is lost, it will not be restored unless the loser has the number in mind, so that it may be traced up and confiscated. BOXERS GET IN SHAPE MULTNOMAH PREPARES FOR VAN COUVER INTERCLITB SMOKER. . Clibborn, 135-Pound Wrestler, Probably Will Take On Hatch at Meet Right of January 10. With the holidays safely stowed away, Multnomah's boxers and wres lers will get in and dig for the Van couver interclub smoker to be staged in the Multnomah gymnasium the night of January 16. The Multnomah boxers still are be ing paired, but the wrestlers have been selected. Oliver Clibborn. the 135- pounder, probably will take on Harry Hatch, the clever little brother of Al Hatch. The latter is now a profes sional and has made some good marks, Multnomah s other entry will be Bohosky, who probably will meet Atcheson In the 145-pound wrestling class. Eddie O'Connell's boys are In good shape, and, though Multnomah did not get off well in the last bouts with Vancouver, O'Connell is rather confi dent that the wrestlers, at least, will keep up Multnomah's honors. The names of the boxers which Van couver will send have not been received as yet. but Chairman Frank is hoping that Paul Pederson, the 115-pound Pa ciflc Coast champion, wll come so that Walter Williams will have another chance. Williams has taken up active train ing. Whether Pederson comes or not, he will be In shape and may appear with some local star. MURPHY WARNS CUB PLAYERS Law Will Be InToked on Any Who Jump Contract, He Says. CHICAGO, Jan. 2. Charles W. Murphy, president of the- Chicago National League club, today served notice on the ballplayers under contract with the club that he would take legal steps to prevent them if any players should attempt to desert to the Federal League. Letters were mailed to each man on the club roster notifying him that he was expected to fulfill the con tract hela by the club. "The Chicago club," Murphy wrote. "not only has a moral but a legal right to your services. This is to Inform you that this right will be protected to the fullest extent of the law. "Ono thing is sure and that is that no player who Jumps his contract, and that Includes the legal option to re serve his services and all other parts as well, will be allowed to play else where. "In other words. If the Chicago Na tional League club is raided by per sons having the instinct of pirates, the law of the land will be Invoked for Its protection." f ' Amateur Athletics;' The Sellwood basketball team would like to get some games with out-of-town quintets.

Hogaa and Del Howard Close Deal at Night Session and Other Swaps Are Looked for Soon. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2. (Special.) The "livestock" market was exceed ingly active today. The biggest swap of the season was pulled off, Maler and Hogan slipping Del Howard, man ager of the Seals, "Spider" Baum in ex change for "Cack" Henley the veteran San Francisco pitcher, and Roy Mc Ardle, famous as a handy man about the infield. The papers closing the two-for-one dicker were signed late tonight after an all-day session, during which vari ous trades were suggested and rejected by one or the other of the contracting parties. Finally the Baum-for-McArdle-and-Henley thing was accepted as the only trade possible at this time. Negotia tions, however, are not at an end and it is possible that a second instalment swap may materialize later. Hogan and Howard, of course, right down in their hearts, feel that they threw the hooks into the other fel low. They do not say so right out loud, but In speaking for publica tion. Hogan and Howard each mod estly admits that he made a good trade but make haste to explain that it was a deal calculated to benefit both teams. EXGLAXD SEES HOPE IX BLAKE Heavyweight Looked Upon as Good Man to Beat Carpentler. LONDON, Jan. 2. Bandsman Blake, the champion English middleweight pugilist, who defeated "Dixie Kid," the American negro boxer, on points In a zo-round bout last night, is regarded by followers of pugilism as the fighter most likely to regain England's lost heavyweight honors from the French man, Georges Carpentler, who recently knocked out Bombardier Wells, holder of the title. The fight between Blake and "Dixie Kid" excited great interest and an enormous crowd of spectators wit nessed it. Blake, who has never been defeated, won by a wide margin of points despite Dixie Kids fine dis play of defensive tactics. Blake is 20 years younger than the American fighter and was 20 pounds heavier. The Times, which seldom expresses an opinion on noxing matches, says Klake 's form does not warrant the be lief that he could hold his own with Carpentier or even with Wells, as he still lacks the "punch" and Is not re sourceful. It adds that Blake would be well a-dvised not to tackle Carpentier until he Is more matured. Bandsman Blake, the latest English white hope," was once a soldier in the British army. He first gained recog nition as a fighter while with the army in India, taking part in 40 odd battles and winning tho middleweight and heavyweight championships of the land forces. Since his return to England the most pretentious fight he engaged in before today was when he knocked out Pri vate Harris, a heavyweight ex-soldier. in ten rounds. Blake weighs only about 165 pounds. Carpentier, when he de feated Wells recently, weighed In at 170 pounds. "Dixie Kid" knocked out Carpentler m rive rounds at Trouvllle, in France, In 1911. Carpentier at that time was a welterweight. M'CALLS LIKE PETS' CATTLE, HOGS, CHICKENS, LAMBS AND DOGS SURPRISE. Son - in - Law of Thomas W. Lawson Makes Preparation to Care for Christmas Remembrance. Henry McCall, of Prlneville, who re ceived two carloads of pedigreed live stock as a Christmas present from his father-in-law, Thomas W. Lawson, the well-known financier of Boston, was in Portland yesterday purchasing some supplies with which to equip the sta bles that he is fitting up for the ac commodation of his prize herds. . "Every animal arrived In good con ditlon," said Mr. McCall, "and it won't take long for all of them to become acclimated. "It Is one of the finest collections of cattle, hogs, chickens, lambs and dogs I ever saw, and we, naturally, are proud of our 'pets. The stock came somewhat in the nature of a surprise for Mr. and Mrs. McCall, and they were not quite pre pared to receive it all at once. They recently have completed a new barn on their ranch near Prineville, but had not provided partitions and stalls. These necessary particulars now are being Installed. The herds arrived in charge of Pat Robinson, the veteran herdsman of Mr. Lawson's Dreamwold farm. Mr. Rob inson will stay with the animals for a month or six weeks until they become thoroughly accustomed to the Oregon climate and the Prlneville altitude. Mr. McCall has been asked to exhibit his cattle (the shipment included i Jersey bull, four Jersey cows, a Hoi stein bull and four Holsteln cows) a the World's Fair in San Francisco next year, but he is not considering the plan seriously. It is probable, however, that the stock will be shown at the Pacific In ternational livestock show in Portland next Fall. PELKEY NO-"HOPE" San Francisco Writers Agree Beating Too Decisive. GUNNER BEST IN SIGHT Sport Expert Says Peter Maher or Tom Sharkey Could Have Whipped Smith, Who Was Wild and Fought Wide Open. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2. All five sporting editors of San Francisco agree today that yesterday's fight between Gunboat Smith and Arthur Pelkey was a most disappointing exhibition. The Gunner won in the 15th by knocking Pelkey out with a full arm right band swing, followed by a clubbed right chop to the base of the skull. Pelkey showed considerable clever ness in the first three rounds and looked as if he knew the meaning of the verb attack, but for the remainder of the fight he had absolutely nothing. There is unanimous agreement that a man who is beaten as decisively as was Pelkey by a man 25 pounds lighter can hope for nothing in the heavyweight division. On the other hand, there is loud com plaint that, though the Gunner won. he was wild as a hawk, fought wide open, and would have been a mark for any man who knew how to deliver a straight punch or could tear in at the body in the clinches. Says one writer: "Peter Maher could have whipped the Gunboat in a very few rounds. Tom Sharkey would have mauled him Into tatters. As for Pelkey. he's a better fighter than Mexican Pete Everett. Gunboat Smith is undoubtedly the best of all the present-day white heavy weights, but we feel sorry for the others."
