SMITHS ACT IS ROUNDLY COiEHED BY CLABBYITES

(BY SPIKin. , Ed W. Smith, -a sporting writer in a' Chicago paper, may be prejudiced against Jimmy Clabby and may tout ; his Idol, Eddie McGoorty. sky high, j but that ia as far as it will go in the j eyes of the fair-minded sporting pub11c. Hammond and Lake county fight fans were indignant when Smith came j out with an unwarranted statement this morning charging that the referee

in the Clabby-McGoorty fight a week ago raised the wrong hand when he hailed- Clabby the new middleweight

Champion. This is what Smith says: i

"They say out in Butte, Mont., that the referee there raised the wrong hand in token of victory. He thought he was grabbing the mitt of Eddie McGoorty, but instead of that Jimmy Clabby, in a neat little manner, inserted his paw In that of the referee and was declared the victor. The ref

eree, flushed with excitement and anx-

ious to make a quick decision, did not notice what had happened until several minutes after the thing was over. Then he didn't have the supreme nerve to tell the truth about it. He Just let it go at tJ. "At least that is he way Rudy Unholz, McGoorty's manager, and several others explain the manner of McGoorty's defeat in the Butte contest. McGoorty, It appears, from their talk, was a winner all the way through and Clabby, after suffering two stunning knockdowns in the opening round, either of which would have Jtjeen a

knew how to count, went through the j remainder of the battJe and got the decision because of a neat little trick at

thje finish." Clabby's followers, who are scattered from coast to coast and as far as the antipodes, do not have to ponder why Smith came out with such a biased article, as it is easy for them

to read between the lines. They know only too well that Smith is the only sporting writer who never did show the least bit of friendliness towards Clabby, and now after the Hammond boy has battled and climbed to the top of the ladder. Smith tries to hurl him back Into oblivion. Fans also ask why did Smith take Rudy Unholi's explanation of the fight and decision. And why did not Clabby hear something of this before he left Butte, Mont., Where the press came out and crowned Clabby the greatest middleweight in the game today. They could not say enough to praise him, and not one word was published that would give McGoorty a chance to say anything but what he was decisively eliminated from the middleweight division.

ALEXANDER STOPS TROJANS Hi FINAL: QUAKERSJLVIil. 2-1 Cubs Helpless Before Philly Star, While Lavender Weakens Twice.

The aspiring Cubs failed to make it four straight from the rhillies when they dropped the final game of the series at the west side yesterday by the close count of 2 to 1. All one can say for the Cubs is that they lost a tough one. Grover .Cleveland Alexander, star hurler of the visitors, displayed his regular form this time. It was quite in contrast to what he showed in the first game, when he was clouted off the slab. Steady pitching in the pinches with splendid support let him squeeze through this time. .Mm Lavender opposed the great one, ani Jim was excellent in all but two spots. He allowed only five hits all told, two. less than his rival, but Jim permitted a double and a single to be bunched in the first inning, producing one run. Tha. same combination, a double and a single, came in the eighth, whiA brpught in the other run. The rest of the time Jim was master"of the top liners.

Philadelphia . Fa , . June 20. The Whitd So"X submitted to a whitewash at the hands of Carroll Brown yesterday and wound up their first eastern trip with a 2 n 0 defeat. Callahan's men outhit the tribe of Mack In an airtight slab battle, but the home boys had all the breaks.

Eddie Murphy made all the rest of the safe hits off Russell. Murphy's first bingle came in the opener and was hooked off by a double play. Th

CLABBY TO BET $1,000 ON BROTHERS CHANCES Middleweight Declares Eddie Can Whip Any Living Lightweight.

Jimmy Clabby, claimant for the mid

dlewelght championship, lias deposited,

a certified check for 11,000 with- Nate Lewis as a side bet that his brother Eddie can defeat any lightweight in the world. The specific stipulation is that the distance for the contest is to be twenty rounds, and that regulation five-ounce gloves be used. In part, Jimmy says: "For the past year I have been preparing my 'kid' brother for a thorough trial against some of the top-notch lightweights, and in doing so I never boxed faster or roughed it more thoroughly than I did in these tryouts.. One might as well try to stop an enraged bull as to prevent Eddie from

mixing matters when in action, and there were many days when I was glad to pull off the gloves. - "While it is true that both he and I are in the fight game for the coin, I would be the first one to discourage Eddie and insist that he retire if I was not of the opinion that he is the equal of any boy in the lightweight division." YALE ANOARVARD READYFOR RACES

Three Contests to Be Decided on Thames; Last This Afternoon.

New London, Conn., June 20. With months of training at their backs and with their backs, the rival rowing

squads of Yale and Harvard rested yesterday for the final tests today, when three crews from each university will meet in the annual regatta on the Thames river course. 1 In honor of the oarsmen the mercahnts and townfolk have decorated with more than the usual elaborateness. The crimson of Harvard and the tlue of Yale are seen in many forms from the simple flag or pennant to the carefully conceived store window dressing, which welcomes alike crews and spectators with a blaze of varsity colors Evidently the preparations were made with the idea of a gathering of rowing enthusiasts of more than usual proportions and in this the citizens of

New London are not likely to be dis- I appointed. Interest in the races from a Yale standpoint is intensified by the adopting of an English stroke this year and the presence of two Oxford university coaches on the Yale staff. But for the eleventh hour shift of Dengre to bow in the varsity eight in place of Gore, the Eli crew might have gone to the starting line a favorite. Under present conditions Harvard is a 7 to 4 favorite Xor the varsity races, while similar odds prevail on the Yale freshman in the youngsters' race. Perfect weather conditions prevailed yesterday. Since the first race was rowed on Lake Winnipiseogee on August 3, 1852, the oarsmen of Yale and Harvard have matched speed and strength forty-six times, and the total number of wins for each university is twenty-three, showing how evenly matched the two universities have proved during this period of sixty-one years.

JACK DILLON SEEKING BATTLE

WITH CLABBY

Indianapolis, Ind., June 20.- Jack

Dillon, who, because of his win over Frank Klaus last month, contends he has clinched not only the American

middleweight championship, but the

championship of the world, does not

intend to rest during the heated summer. Dillon will meet Tony Caponi In a twelve-round bout at Winnipeg next week, and on July 3 he will box Bill McKinnon, the eastern middleweight, for ten rounds at Indianapolis. Dillon, who always keeps In good shape, and never has to take off more than two or three pounda to make the middleweight limit, doesn't need a longsiege of training to get in condition. He is on edge now for his bout with Caponi. and he and his manager, Sam Murbarger, are more than willing to take on Jimmy Clabby at some later date.

Decorah, la., June 20. Al Palier, tha heavyweight pugilist, is at Perham, Minn., doing light work and spending a vacation fishing. He writes Decorah friends that he is once more in the best of health, feeling fine and fit. He expects to return to New Tork late in July or early in August and then go into training in earnest for some prospective bouts later In the year.
