CLABBY-M'GOORTY MILL
Wlwn that Butte (Mont.) referee declared Jimmy Clabby winner over Eddie McGoorty the other night at the close of a twelve-round session he did something toward the straightening out of the middleweight muddle. The verdict wasn't altogether a popular, on, as the McGoorty adherents assert 'that the two clean knockdowns scored , by the Wisconsin man in the initial 1 ound more than evened up whatever j advantage Clabby gained on points : later on. says the Chicago Inter-Ooeaa. ! But there can-be no appeal from the'
decision. Clabby won, and on his merits, according to the records as they now stand. McGoorty can only redeem himself by taking on James in another trial and beating him decisively. Also It must be remembered that Clabby, like that other speed marvel Mike Gibbons of St. Paul is capable of scaling several pounds below the 158pond limit now recognised as the correct mark for our zolddlewelgbts. Both Gibbons and Clabby are slightly handicapped in the weight question, as none of the other leading lights of the middle brigade can get below 16S ringside and remain strong enough to do themselves justice. Clabby, bowever, has never shown any signs of timidity, when it came to a question of stacking up against heavier men. During his Australian tour it was customary for him to tackle the bigger chaps without a moment's hesitation. There is Dave Smith, for instance. According to our standards. Smith was really a light heavyweight, yet on two occasions Clabby held him to draws, each bout being of twenty rounds duration. Of course, McGoorty discounted these performances by knocking out Mr. Smith in less than a round. But McGoorty, with his extra weight, could afford to take more chances than the lighter Clabby, and also Smith was
whipped before he had a chanoe to get started. Anybody unfortunate enough to run a projecting Jaw point against that McGoorty left hook in the early stages of a fistic argument is more than apt to lose all interest in the surrounding scenery for a period of time extending well over the fateful ten count. It almost happened that way in the Clabby engagement with McGoorty. The fact that the smaller man, half-stunned and groggy, was able to pull through the danger one, regain his head and turn the tables on his opponent, speaks volumes for Clabby's fighting ability. Surely the general who extricates himself from a perilous " position and thereafter marches on to victory is worthy of higher praise than he whom fortune favors right from the start, enabling him to crush his foe without trouble. It Is to be hoped that McGoorty and Clabby will soon be seen in action again. The Wisconsin man Is naturally none too well pleased with the result of the Butte battle and expresses himself as ready to meet his conqueror at any time or place for as large a side bet as Clabby cares to make. But It Is probable that Eddie will have to wait a bit. With a victory over McGoorty to his credit 'Jimmy sees opportunity beckoning him to clear some of the aspirants for championship honors out of his path. As matters now stand Frank Klaus Is credited with ha-Ing shaded McGoorty In six rounds at Pittsburgh, while Jack Dillon was declared winner over Klaus by a big margin at Indianapolis. This makes Dillon look pretty good, but we have yet to see how he will fare against Tony Caponl. the Chicago middleweight, at Winnipeg tonight. Caponl at his best is a tough morsel to masticate, as many of the star " middleweight found to their cost in the past. Ue is in perfect shape for the tussle
with Dillon and ought to give a good account of himself. If Clabby could get the winner of the Dillon-Caponi battle and beat him decisively, there could no longer be any reason for denying Jimmy's claim to the title of middleweight champion. Had there not been a decision rendered In "the Clabby-McGoorty bout both sides would have claimed victory, but the delivery and recording of a verdict effectually stopped all that sort or nonsense. If the "no decision" clause
could only be done away with entirely we would be rid of a hypocritical absurdity which has never accomplished the one thing it was put into operation for the supposed stopping of bets on contests. A rank failure In that particular, the "no decision" contest has proved to be a veritable curse to the boxing game by enabling crooked boxers to hide their deficiencies under the non-committal initials "N. D." that appear with such distressing frequency in the record books. The "no de
cision" rule is unfair to the winner of
a glove battle because it deprives him of a clean-cut verdict in his favor, un
fair to the boxing patrons because It
is impossible for them to keep inform
ed as to the exact status of the ring
performers, an dan unadulterated blessing to a host of scheming man
agers and inferior sluggers who are enabled by its aid to gull the sporting
public to their heart's content.

Cheney Lasts One Round,
and Reulbach Yields Six Runs in the Fifth.
By copping yesterday's final game of the series of six with St. Louis the
White Sox emerged with an even break against the Browns and saved
what remnant of their honor that split
entitles them to retain.
The count would have been at least one more in Chicago's favor but for
another oversight by Umpire Hilde
brand, who had two close decisions to
make at the plate and hung up a
I guessing average of .600. His muff
was due to overlooking the fact Sam
Agnew dropped the ball after tagging
Rath out In the second inning. This decision probably would have resulted
In the banishment of Manager Calla ban from the lot once more if Presi
dent Johnson had not beaten the um
pires to It by suspending the Sox pilot
indefinitely for his two battles with the arbitrators in previous games of
the series.

and his gang not only defeated the Cubs yesterday, but they sort of rubbed it In Just to get a bit of revenge for the trimmings the Cubs handed the
Reds early In the season. The score
was: Cincinnati, 12; Chicago, 4.
The big part of the damage was done
while old Doc Reulbach was on the slab making strenuouB efforts to "come back." : Larry Cheney, the west side moose, began the battle, but wasn't In form and permitted three runs In the
first Inning. Larry was taken out
after one round and big Ed sent to display what he possessed.
The former star went along nicely
until the Cubs tied the score by des
perate assaults. This was in the fifth inning. Then when the Trojans had tied things up and were prepared to
go out and do battle for the winning
runs, old Doc collapsed. In the last of the fifth he was slaughtered and dragged through the mire in a help
less condition, the Reds whaling home
six runs, mostly because of many driv
ing base hits.

gordato, a leading English player, by
three straight sets, 2-4. 6-3, 6-2.'

in the first set easily, but then appeared to lose his grip. He lost his
service and Mavrogordato won three

Then McLoughlin braced up and the Oxford man never had another chance, McLoughlin following all his strokes to the net and smashing with terrible effectiveness. James C.

Barry's last shot was a wonder. With the score dormie 2, he holed on the eighth green a 25foot putt around a dead stymie and won the hole. It was one of the most beautiful shots ever seen on the course. The match Itself was very Interesting. Barry won the first hole but lost the second by shooting in the rough, and he took a 7 for the hole. In the third
Smith shot in the bunker and it cost him .the hole. On the fourth Smith stymied the champion and halved the
hole with him. Barry made a pretty 4 on the sixth. The eighth was halved and after a poor drive off 9, Smith made a wonderful brassie which laid him on the green in 2 and his third shot stuck on the rim of the cup. Coming in Barry lost the first with his only dubbed shot. On the third he made a long putt and got a bogey. On the fourth Barry sliced in the rough and Smith took the hole with a 4. On the fifth Smith laid his second on the green, but Barry made a wonderful approach to the cup. On the sixth Barry drove over the fence and Smith took the hole. The score;
