CLABBY GREATLY RESPECTED

!Y PACIFIC COAST

FAS

During his recent invasion of the west, where he eliminated Freddie Hicks, Eddie McOoorty. Sailor Grande and last, but not least, Kddie Petroskey. from the ranks of the middleweight division. Jimmy Clabby, today Hammond's hero, cinched his army of admirers, who crown him the king of the middleweight class and the- cleverest fiahter In the world today. Before leaving San Francisco last Saturday Clabby wr.s given a rousing send off. They hated to s-f him ko away and will welcome him back with open arms just like Hammond welcomed him home. Inside of several weeks Clabby will be westward bound and on ThanUssiving day will ro twenty rounds with Jimmy Crawford at San Francisco. Soldier Frank Logan, another western middleweight, who made a side bet of $2,000 to lace the winner of the Clabby-Petroskey mill, will also be an opponent, as he has made good his offer. Clabby is In fighting trim at present and will need but little gym work to get himself in shape. Fans of the region have asked for some official dope on the Fetroskey fight and following is but a brief account that was published in one of the San Francisco papers:

"Jimmy Ciabby of Hammond, Ind.. won a home for himself in San Francisco last night by decisively whipping Sailor Ed Petroskey in a twentyround go at Coftroth's Eighth street arena. The Jack Tar was not knocked out. But he was so thoroughly battered at the end that not a protesting voice was heard when Referee Ken Selig raised the arm of the easterner and proclaimed him winner. "To say that Clabby won an easy victory is stretching the truth. The fact is that the easterner, despite his long lead, was a very tired young man

in the last few rounds as a result of the rough usage given him - by the sailor in the clinches. The one thing which kept Clabby going at full speed to the end wa the oft-repeated advice given him by Spider Kelly between rounds that Petroskey was worse tired and that all Clabby would have to do would be to land one or more solid punches and his opponent would topple over. "Hut the sailor refused to topple. Solid punches without number bounced

oft his jaw and stomach as the bout drew to a close. At times these I punches shook the sailor from head to j foot. Hut he refused to desert his : guns. The tap of the gong signifying the end of the contest found Petroskey j boring in and the clever Clabby work- ' Ing upon him like an automatic rivet- I ing machine upon a bolt. The bell was welcomed by the durable Tar with a I

gory smile. "It would be. dry, monotonous reading to try and give a full description of the rounds. One round was as closely akin to another as a pair of bullets run In the same mold. "Petroskey was first in the ring, and he was wildly cheered. It was well for the sailor that his friends remem- . bered to cheer at the outset, for after the men started boxing, Petroskey's friends had very few chances to cheer

him. ; "Clabby followed closely on the heels of Petroskey, and while he did not get a wild reception. It did not take the fans long to warm up to the Hammond man. As soon as Hammond Jimmy started to display his class, he forced

the crowd to cheer him, and before i the fifth round was reached the house l was all for Clabby. Thus will genius, even rln genius, force its way. "From the moment the men put their hands up. Clabby went out in front.

and there was not a round during the contest that he did not win. "More than once It looked as though Petroskey would go under from the hailstorm of blows that Clabby rained on him. The sixth and seventh were

, bad periods for the sailor, and he was

wabbly as he sought his corner alter the close of the seven periods of active milling. "In these periods of milling Clabby handed Petroskey a sample of every blow known to the ring game. He prodded Petroskey with Jabs, he hooked and cuffed and batted him, and In close he would bring up nasty little rising punches that tilted the sailor's head and kept it moving up and down

like a bobbin on a sewing machine. "The eighth was another perilous session for the sailor, and when things looked squally for Petroskey !n this period some of the fans began to whls-

1 per, "Sailor, Keware, sailor, lane care. I The sailor got through this round by sheer gameness. "In the Twelfth round the sailor ! landed a wild right that sent Clabby's head back, birt Jimmy recovered quickly. Clabby rested in the thirteenth land fourteenth. He realized that he

had enough of a lead to win by a mile. ) "Clabby did not exert himself again

until the nineteenth and twentieth and in both of these rounds he had the sailor In a wabbly condition. "Clabby revived the boxing game in this city last night. He made a friend out of every fan in the crowd, and the chances are that if Coffroth can secure Mike Gibbons or Eddie McGoorty to oppose Clabby in his next ring appearance here that the house will be packed. "As a rule We export regular lemons

J to the east and import lemons In the

guise of boxers from the east. However, Clabby is a peach, and the big

gest peach that has been sent to us

from the east in many a year.

"Clabby will do. The fans cannot see too much of him. If there's any

more at home like Jimmy it is our

earnest hope that they will send them

out this way.

"He's a marvel."

Gibbons' footwork, feinting and side stepping was pretty and at times he made the Chicagoan look like a novice. The Gopher had a decided advantage iu the first seven rounds, but Kelly rallied in the next two sessions and held his opponent on even terms.

"Leslie" does not listen like a real ball player among ball players, his mates have kindly rechristened him Joe. This Joe Hush proved the unknown quantity whlih C. McGllllcuddy bad up his sleeve all the time, for he pitched a magnificent game against the Giants and in spite of his paucity of years and experience was as cool and nervy as any one could expect. Few thought Manager Mack would pick Bush from among his young hurlers for this important battle with so much depending on its result. Bush has shown a tendency to wlldness in critical spots during the season and the general impression is that lack of control usually indicates wnnt of the nerve to put the ball up where it can be hit.

New York. Oct. 10. Again yesterday that potent run making machine piloted by Connie Mack asserted itself, and with such potency that Philadelphia won a hollow run away victoryover the Giants in the third game of the series for the championship of the universe by the eloquent score of 8 to 2. The Mackmen trounced Big Jeff Tesreau so hard that he was removed while yet there were a few pieces left of him in the seventh inning, and it was only an act of mercy to relieve bim, for the Giants had no chance to win the combat at that time. And Tesreau. whose name henceforth is not Big Jeff but the more commonplace one of Charles given him soon after his original birthday, was counted on by

best card in this

series.

While the overthrow of New York's towering spitball pitcher was taking place a youngster of little repute was carving his name high on one of the pillars inside baseball's hall of fame.

In a combat filled with freniy and

thrills of delight and despair, Chicago's aspiring Cubs ground the militant

White Sox into submissive defeat yes

terday at Comlskey park, and now th

two teams are on even terms In tht civil strife for baseball honors. 4 The score was 6 to 5. and a verdlci wasn't reached until thirteen inning of desperate fighting had been finished.A tremendous crowd, lacking onlj a few hundred of 30,000, reveled in th glory of the contest as the two team! struggled on the field for nearly thre hours, the end coming when shades ol night were approaching with threat! of stooping the battle as a tie. One spasmodic inning early in th game wrought havoc on each side. Th Cubs came out of the fray with tht small margin of one tally in their favor. Before the excitement of that melee had subsided, they added another. Then another. Then, with the wesl aiders two runs to the good, the battle settled Into a grind, with the Sox putting every ounce of their strength in their attack to pull up from behind.

By means of a driving assault in the sixth they pushed one man home, and rallying with every remaining atom of their power, they got the tying run in the eighth, and net all south sld rooters frantic with joy. But to all indications the last bit ot energy of the valiant south side athletes had been exhausted in that attack, for they scarcely even threatened again. The game continued with hardly a ripple of excitement until the thirteenth, when Heine Zlm strode to the plate amid the taunts of thousands of south siders who had derided the great clouter In his previous efforts, which had been futile. Heine turned to the throng and snarled something which was drowned by the roars of the fans. There waf one man out at the time and Helnt gripped his bat and glared. All tht batting prowess he has attained In his diamond career was centered In one swing. He walked up on the ball and clouted. There was Just a white streak on the grass from the home plate to the feet of Iarry Chappell In left field, who fortunately knocked the ball down without losing a hand or a foot, and consequently held it t a single. If that ball had started off In the air. It would have cleared the left field bleacher.
