Il was said in this column last week that
Austin 6ibbonss class was among the light
weights and that Mike Cushing no doubt felt
fully the force OF the old sporting maxim that
. match we'll made is half won." Since then
Gibbons has asserted his willingness to meet
Jack MoAulif1e, and talked OF going 70 Eng
land to fight Bill Reader and perhaps Jem
Carney and Cushing has asserted his desire
TO meet Gibbons again at 126 pounds. to weigh
fve hours before entering the ring. think Glib
hons Ia bluffing when he talks OF lighting Jack
McAullffe. He knows that McAuliffe would
not battle for the sum he names, $1,000, and
that no club whose managers possess common
sense would hang w purse Of $1,000 or even
s2.5o0 for contest between them. 1t would
be too one-sidcd. Barring accident Gibbons
wouldn't bc in IL except rs punching bag and
Jack would go through him double quick. He
might do better with Dill Reader or even Jem
Carney. who is said to be quito stale nova
days. But why cross tho water at all for q
match7 Thsre are Andy Bowen and Billy
Myer both honing for q scrap. Why not
tackle either OF themf A victory over either
would be instantly recognized as putting Glib.
bona among licht-weight championship tim
ber and clubs might then think IL worth their
while to bring MoAullYe and him together.
CushinR's challenge to his conqueror ia q safe
one. for don't think he will ever get Gibbons
again, especially at 126 pounds Austin would
BE- o fool to fight at that weight, and I don't
think he Is a fool.
There was talk OF match between Paddy
German. the Australian, and Brooklyn Jimmy
Carroll. but II is all over now. They spared
together the other night at Germans benefit,
and Jimmy so clearly demonstrated his su-
pcriority that Gorman's most sanRulno nd
mirers saw that he wouldn't have ghost Of .
show with the Brooklyn boy In genuine con-
test There are few men Of his weight who
would. Jack McGee Of Boston would probably
be good match for the ahtipodean. and any
club desiring rattlinR 90 would do we'll to
hang up purse for tho pair. 1t is said that
