"Jeems" Wants to Step With Bob M'Allister, San Fracisco's Rising Middleweight
S'1
S
San Francisco, Aug. IS. Jimmy Clabby of Hammond, one of the foremoat of American middle weights, dropped into town yesterday, accompanied by Jimmy Regan, a promoter, who dabbles in pugilism up at Butte, Mont. Clabby has received tempting offers to take his Queenaberry wares to Australia, but would prefer to linger in San Francisco a while if he receives the right kind of encouragement. Prior to the McAllister-Petroskey bout Clabby expressed a desire to meet the winner. Of course there was no winner, but Clabby was equal to the emergency. He said he would not mind boxing both McAllister and Petroskey, but would prefer to tackle the Olympla club graduate first. It is understood that Promoter Jim Coffroth has taken up the matter and will endeavor to bring about a meeting between Jimmy and Bob. And for the sake of those who admire really clever glove play it Is to be hoped that Coffroth succeeds in his undertaking. McAllister's handiness with the
gloves is well known to local followers of the Queensberry game, and to those who are unacquainted with Clabby it may be mentioned that the Australian critics pronounce him the finest boxer America had sent to the antipodes. Considering all the American fighters who have made the trip this is more than ordinary praise. Clabby, who bears a striking resemblance to Norman 8elby, who was known to ring fame as "Kid McCoy," is a lathy, clean-cut fellow, who boxes at 180 pounds. Ite has been working steadily up to the front for several years and now looms up as a worthy candidate for the world's middleweight championship. Among his recent achievements was a victory over Eddie McOoorty, who covered himself with glory not so long ago by knocking out Dave Smith, the Australian champion, and Jack Harrison, the champion of England. These fights took place within a couple of weeks of each other. It Is stated that If McAllister declines the Issue with Clabby, Sailor Petroskey will oblige.

Boston, Mass..- Aug. 14. A downpour with a chill in it burst-over Boston yesterday Just before the Cubs and Braves were about to combat, and in a Jiffy the management called the proposed contest ofT and announced a double-header for today. After the .experience of doubling that the Cubs had here Tuesday they are not strong for another such an affair, and fctill it will give them a chanoe to get even all in one day if they should go out and rip through two victories. Bert Humphries was all primed for the hurling Job yeterday, and in his present form Bert is generally a winner. Humphries and Pierce are likely to take care of the slabbing for the double bill. Up to the time the rain struck town no notices of suspension had been deceived In the Cub camp for the messy things that happened here yesterday when Manager Evers and James P.

Robert E. Maypole, local agent for the Stutz Motor Car company, j'esterday entered a. Stutz. to be driven by Gil Anderson In the Elgin road races on August 29 and 30. He will have one of the cars built for the last 500mile race at Indianapolis. The entry of Anderson will permit a continuance of the warfare between the Stutz and Mercer companies. Both have been contenders on speedway, track and road for several years and the balance now favors the Stutz. With Ralph De Palma and Spencer Wish art handling Mercers the battle should be sensational, especially In
the light car race on the first day. . An attempt will be made to get Earl Cooper, another Stutz driver, here for the races. If Cooper should come and win either of the two events he undoubtedly would be selected at the end of the season as champion road driver of the world. He already has three victories to his credit this year. He won two events at Tacoma and last Saturday was first in the Santa Monica road race. Chairman C. G. Sinsabaugh of the Automobile club contest committee is making an effort to land Cooper's entry. Indications are that drivers In the coming races will start practice earlier than ever before in the history of the classics. Harry Grant is expected today with the Italian Isotta, while
Ralph De Palma and Spencer WIshart should be here on Saturday with the four Mercers. Charles Erbsteln, who entered a Marmon, .yesterday obtained Joe Dawson's signature on a contract to drive at Elgin. Dawson Is at work in Indianapolis putting new cylinders on his racer and expects to get on the Elgin course next week. He has training quarters at Jenck's garage. Grant has the same quarters he used in the 1911 races when he drove one of the Alcos. Efforts are being made by the management of the Libertyville races to Induce Harry Grant, De Palma and Wishart to compete in" next Sunday's races, which were postponed from last
week on account of the rain. Grant, with his Isotta, and De Palma and Wishart, who will pilot Mercers In the Elgin races, now are en route to the Elgin course, and they will be asked to take part in Sunday's races.
If SHE won't go, GO anyway to the Whiting Elks' picnic at Spring Hill Grove (St. John). August 16.
