GIBBONS KNOCKS OUT FERNSffl. SECOND Mike floors Wildcat Four Times and Referee Ends Slaughter.

PHY LANDS i NEW YORK: WILL OUTBID ALL FOR TINKER

New Orleans, La.. Dec. 11. It took Mike Gibbons, the St, Paul phantom. Just one round and one minute last night to demonstrate to Glarence Wild

cat Ferns of Kansas City and the box- '

lng tans of New Orleans that the form- i er is in a class all by himself as a, j fighter at his weight. In this brief time Gibbons gave a ' beautiful exhibition of boxing:, blocking and old-fashioned in and out work and then, us though just to show that' he can fight as well as box, he feinted Ferns Into a lead with a left and shot a right to the point of the jaw which 1 put Ferns down for the first of four knockdowns. The first three upsets , lasted nine' seconds each. The last; brought peferee Dick Burke to Ferns' rescue. Burke gave the signal for a cessa- ! tion of hostilities and then raised ' Gibbons' hand in token of victory. They ' led Ferns to a seat in his corner. He ; was In bad shape. ' j

Ferns was stopped effectually really before he got warmed up, and though there is little doubt that Ferns would have made a strenuous effort to get to his feet before the ten could have been counted over him, there is a possibility that the bell might have saved him. Referee Burke's action was commended by every spectator at the ringside. It was a case of a very game fighter being defeated by one of the greatest boxers in the world. The" men fought at 145 pounds at 3. Gibbons' decisive victory gives him almost a clear claim to the welterweight title. HARVARD TO PICK BRICKLEY

Cub' OwnerArrives From x Europe to Bid for Joe's Services.

New Tork. Dec. 11. "You can say for me that I will offer more real money for Tinker than any other man," declared Charles Webb Murphy, owner of the Cubs, who arrived on the Olympic last night, resplendent in a new green hat and brilliant red tie. He was told that Wilbert Robinson had oftsred $25,009 for Tinker and replied: "I will offer more than that in real money. Tinker Is a grand ball player." Regarding the appointment of Governor John Tener as president of the National league, he said: "I think it is the grandest thing that

could happen in baseball. Tener is a clean, all-around sportsman and a square, honest man. He knows more about baseball than any other man in the country and organized baseball will be enrished by his appointment." "I know him very well hecause he tbok my team around the world twenty-five years ago and I have every confidence in his ability." MILLERMAY JOIN THE FEDS "Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 11. Otto

("Dutch") Miller, one of the mainstays'

of the Brooklyn National league catching staff, is seriously considering an

offer from the local Federal league

club for the season of 1914. Miller re

cently returned here from Cuba to spend the winter with his mother. He admitted today that he has received a

Mattering offer and that he is consid ering it favorably.

Cambridge, Mass., Dec 11. The election of a captain for the Harvard football team of 1114 will -be held next week. A-a oyrt'on on the eye of George Ell, Twat'.r substitute half back, and Coaca Isighton's absence from town have cd the delay. Charles Brickley apears certain of carrying off the prize, although he will be given a close contest by Trumbull, the varsity center.

JILL THE NEWS 1 THE TIMES.

(BY THE SQUIiNTER)

GEORGE RODEL, the Boer , heavyweight, has been one of the spectators at the "six-day bicycle races in New Tork and has Attracted no little attention. Rodel is seeking a fight with some of the big American pugilists and says he has a record that entitles him to consideration. He weighs only 1S5 pounds, and the size of the other fellow doesn't bother ( him. There' is no harder hitter than Rodel and he never gets hurt, which is a great deal in hia favor. ACCORDING to word received from the Pacific coast, Matty will come east In a month or two prepared to challenge Jerry Tra vers or Francis Oulmet for the championship of golfdom. The Mg gun has been playing golf ever since McGraw and his team left htm behind in California. He is keeping in condition through Scotia's well known game and expects to report in first class form. THE PRINCIPAL occupation of the Cincinnati directors Is looking for a

new manager. In this connection it might not be straining a point to state that they are the best lookers in the

National league.

THE ST. LOUIS Browns led the

American league in something. They

made 124 double plays. But for this

proficiency in cutting off runs that possibly would have scored, the Browns never would have given the Yankees

such a tussle for last place.

LAWSON ROBERTSON believes that

Billy Kramer, if he had taken to the marathon game, would have made one

of the greatest twenty-six mile run

ners the world has ever seen. Kram

er's close-to-the-ground af--, Robert

son believes, would enable the cros country champion to run marathons as

they have been seldom run by humans,

"KNOCKOUT" BROWN is doing light

work preparatory to a vigorous cam

palgn this winter. Brown insists that he is far from being all In as a first

grade boxer and will beat the best op ponents when he returns to form.

RITCHIE-MURPHY

FIGHHfllLED OFF

Champion's Nose Operated

On, But Rain Is Made Excuse by Coffroth.

San Francisco. Dec 11. The Ritchie-

Murphy fight Is off for the present and

It is a question whether It will come

up again.

In the ordinary course of things the

rain yesterday afternoon and last night was blamed for the postponement,' but other complications developed later. It seems that Ritchie has an abscess In his nose and the ailment is serious

enough to call for an operation today by Dr. C.. F. McCarthy.

Ritchie's nose bothered him when he

awoke yesterday morning and grew

worse as the day wore on. He called

upon the doctor, who told him that an operation was necessary and who per

formed it then and there.

"Xpu can't fight tonight," said the doctor,' according to a statement made by Ritchie.

"I must fight," said Ritchie. "I will

do the best I can under the clrcura stances."

"You had better pray for rain," said the doctor, and sure enough the rain

came. Last night at 7 o'clock Coffroth post

poned the contest on account of rain.

but the men weighed in at 8 o'clock, according to their original agreement.

Jim Buckley, manager for Murphj then wanted the fight Bet for the fol

lowing nignt, in accordance with an

understanding reached at the time of making the match. Ritchie said that

his nose was in such condition that he

would not think of fighting and after

some argument Coffroth announced

that the fight was off. ,

BRESNAHAN WINS

FIGHT JITH H'GDE

Tommy Rallies and Forces

Racine Boy to Hang on at End.

Racine, Wis., Dec . 11. Tom Jones

sent Matty McCue against a tough one last night, and at the end of ten savage rounds the home boy looked the

worse in comparison. Tommy Bresna

ha,n beat him with a whirlwind finish.

After McCue apparently had him near

a knockout in the eighth, the veteran

from Chicago came back and had the

Racine youngster hanging on the ropes

in the final pair of fighting spells.

Matty stacked up a great lead on the

outsider in the first half of the battle.

but in the after part his lead was cut

down by he terrific assault of Bresna

han, who began to , penetrate Matty's

hitherto impregnable guard with

regularity and effectivenes that threw fear Into the hearts of hia admirers at

the ringside and caused Tom Jones to

blink with dismay.

The Racine boy was easy for the vet

eran after Matty began to tire. His brilliant opentng work seemed to have sapped his strength and he missed and clinched frequently in the closing

rounds.

But Matty was not beaten by more

than a shade. The little fellow, slight

ly smaller and not nearly as rugged as

the old timer, held his own valiantly.

However, the issue was never in doubt

after the eighth, and the unbiased home

fans were willing to concede the vie tory to Bresnahan. .
