CHIP MIDDLEWEIGHT LEADER BECAUSE OF iOCKOUT PUNCH A Shifter of the Ketchel Type, His Upsets of Klaus Are Best Performance in That Cl&ss .For Many Years.

THE TIMES.

PAGE THREE

George Chip stands today as the real headllner among the mlddlewelghts, despite the pretensions of James Clabby and Jack Dillon. Clabby no doubt ranks next to Chip in the race for the title, because it is doubtful, indeed, if Dillon can do the recognised weight limit of the class 158 pounds. Chip and Clabby can both scale at that notch without trouble, the Hammond flash1 being able to make as low as 150 if necessary. Tom McCarey, the Los Angeles promoter, who has been angling for a Clabby-Dillon match, will show wisdom If he switches to Jimmy and Chip. That match would be as close to a championsihip fight as possible under the circumstances. Chip ought to rank first at present because of the pair of decisive victories he has scored over Frank Klaus, the toujrh Pittsburg German. The public likes a fighter who finishes his oppo-
