J EFFORT TO REDEEM HIMSELF

Middleweights Slated for Six Rounds in Pittsburg, But Route Is Too Short to Expect a Decisive Result.

Frank Klaus won't be grinning and sneering at his foe tonight when he squares oft with George Chip for a scheduled six rounds In Pittsburg's biggest arena. The last time they met over the same route he did grin and sneer. Before that encounter Klaus was rated aa the middleweight with the best claim to international honors. The French boxing federation recognized him as the world's champion because he won from Billy Papke on a foul In Paris on March 5 last. But after the fight he was a bloomer. He started It as a top-notcher and Chip a second-rater. When It was over Klaus was stretched full length on the canvas and Chip was the latest sensation among the middleweights. He had furnished almost as big a surprise as did Young Corbett the night he first knocked out Terry McGovern. It all happened this way: Both men are swingers and right hand punchers. They had been trading rights for five and a half rounds without great damage. Klaus was still grinning and sneering, so evidently was not hurt

much. He was a confident man, the Klaus fellow, and believed that no middleweight had steam enough in his wallop to knock him out. With all hi experience, Klaus did not appear to know that when a stiff puncher hits a tough man on the peak of the chin. In exactly the right spot, the tough fellow is sure to tumble. They all do, no matter how tough. Well, Chip finally got over a right on the point of the Jaw that knocked Frank kicking. He took the nine count, staggered to his feet and received another chin smash that put him down and out. It was a clean-cut victory for Chip, and a sad blow to Klaus. We rather imagine Frank will be in a serious frame of mind and will put up a cautious scrap tonight. The Lithuanian handled by Jimmy Dime no doubt has won the respect of the Pittsburger. Klaus said after the fight, naturally, that Chip won In a chance blow. Perhaps George was fortunate to get it over. But he showed he had a wallop,

and he'll be mighty dangerous any

time he starts against Klaus.

GUNBOAT SiTH NOT C INSISTENT WITHKIOCK OUT He Possesses a Powerful Kick, But Puts Few to Sleep for Count.

San Francisco, Ca.1., Dec. 23. Is Gunboat Smith entitled to be known as a knockerout?

Of course he has shown many times, that he possesses a punch powerful enough to put an opponent to Bleep, but on the strength of what he ha accomplished in that line has he earned the right to rank with the one blow specialists the game has known? Some think he has and some think he has not. and those who bold the latter view adduce that while he knocked out some of his opponents, a, far greater number .escaped being knocked out. There is no gainsaying the evidence In the case. Smith's work as a finished haa lacked continuity, and about the best that can be claimed for him up to the present is that he is an occasional knocker out. A knockout blow Is about the most valuable asset a boxer can boast. It ma.kes for popularity more than a shipload of cleverness or a trainload of enlurance. It Is the thing that causes a fight crowd to emit Its loudest shrieks. And the men who have this settling smash with them at all times have been as scarce as hens' teeth. Among the heavyweight world champions there were only two, name ly, John L. Sullivan and Bob Fitzsimmons. With Sullivan It was a righthander, with Fitzsimmons it was any one of half a dozen assaults. As a finisher Fitzsimmons was In a class by himself, and it will b many a long years, probably, before the ring will produce such another.

RODEL WHALES JIM FLYM IN ' GOTHAM BATTLE Boer Has a Hot Time of It Before Beating Tough Pueblo Fireman.

New York, Dec. 23. George Rodel

the Boer battler, toyed with Jim Flynn for ten rounds in Madison Square Garden last night. At the end the verdict was that Rodel had the better of It on points, but it could not be denied that Jim Johnston, manager of it Boer, was very much worried at times when Flynn's rushing tactics had Rodel backed away. Rodel was delighted with his victory, because It booms his match with Jess Willard at' New Haven on the th. Toung Fox, who claims the bantamweight championship of England, outpointed Joe Mooney of this city in a fast ten-round bout. Fox showel considerable cleverness and made a hit with the crowd. Battling Levlnsky had things his own way In his ten-round engagement with Jim Coffey of Dublin. The latter had the advantage In height and reach, but could not connect his wallop with the elusive evlnsky often enough to count. ILevinsky was floored in the seventh, but came back with one that started, the claret from Coffey's nose, and from then to the finish kept pecking away at the damaged proboscis until Coffey was very weary.

WOLGAST CAN'T LOSE AT HOME Cadillac, Mich., Dec. 23. Adolph Wolgast, Cadillac fighter, la back on the farm, where his mail comes via R. F. D. and telegrams the same.

None of them, however, gave him as clean a victory over Charlie White as did the local sheet issued twenty-four hours after the

PITCHER "SUBS"

FOR K. C. PASTOR Kansas City, Mo.; Dec. 23. "Well, boys, I'm not used to pitching out of a box like this." Eugene Packard, left handed pitcher for the Cincinnati National league club, said when he substituted for the pastor of the Oakhurst M. E. church here last night. Packard, who lives in Kansas City, occupied the pulpit at a gathering to interest young men In an anti-saloon campaign. "You boys may have some ideal in baseball," Packard said in his talk. "I know I did. Tou boys may never be major leaguers, but if you have an ideal In life and determination to leave liquor and cigarettes alone you'll be a success in some business."

required to determine the winner in all five events. It was In the struggle for the Accumulation cup that young Spotts did his best work. It was a match at fifty targets. He tied three others with perfect scores of 50. Th boy won the leg shooting oft at "miss and out." He also , won the 125 clay bird handicap contest. In which he tied with the same men, winning finally in the shootoff.

CARLISLE DROPS DARTMOUTH GAME i Carlisle, Pa., Dec 23. Coach Glenn Warner, on his return today from a i shooting trip in the south, said that ! Dartmouth probably will be dropped from the football schedule of the Carlisle Indian school next year. The In- ' dians have been invited to play In ' Hanover next year, but owing to the i long trip and the probability of small financial returns, Warner said Car- ; lile felt compelled to decline. The In- : dians would have liked a Dartmouth game either in New York or Boston, but this Is prevented by Dartmouth faculty restrictions.

YANKEE JOCKEY BADLY INJURED St. Moritz. Switzerland, Dec. 23. J. II. Martin, Henry Payne Whitney's

GOPHERS AND ' HEGEWISCH TIE (Special to Thk Times.) Hegewlsch, 111., Dec. 23. Although outweighed ten pounds to the man, Hegewlsch A. A. held the fast Indiana Harbor Gophers to a 0 to 0 tie Sunday. The nearest the Gophers came to scoring was on the Hegewlsch 35-yard line, while Hegewlsch was on the Gopher 10-yard line twice. There was very little to choose between the two teams, it being first one team held for downs and then the other. The general all around playing of Appel, the Hegewlsch half, was easily the feature of the game, the Gophers being utterly unable to Btop him with any degree of success. Gallagher, end, also proved himself a star, his open field running

being especially worth of comment. O'Malley, E. and J. Hoffman, J. Fuehrmeyer, Moran and Pavlak all did themselves credit. In fact, it would be hard to pick any one player who didn't play first class football all the time. If there had been any the Gophers, aided by their advantage In weight, would surely have scored. But It does look as though Hegewlsch could have scored a drop kick had they tried, as Jimmy Fuehrmeyer la good anywhere Inside the thirty-yard line. But the boys deserve the highest praise. In view of the fact that the Gophers deefated East Chicago and they In turn the Clabbys, the much talked of ease with which the Hammond supporters say the Clabbys would defeat Hegewlsch seems to have faded Into thin air. Hegewlsch will now play any team In this region at 146 to 150 pounds.

New York, Dec 23. It was news in golf circles yesterday that Tom Anderson, a veteran professional golfer, had died yesterday at Montclalr, N. J. He was about 60 year old, a native of Scotland, and was known to thousands of golfers. He was the profesisonal at the Montclalr Golf club.
