JIMMY CLABBY'S RECORD

the remarkable Judgment of distance
shown by Jimmy Clabby
Jimmy was just getting his head
above water year ago. He was tall,
thin. rangy lad with a long reach and
a wicked left jab. The old veteran
fans who attended fights for the past
forty years scratched their bare pates
and raked their memories for the
past great master of jabbing and
punching of whom Clabby reminded
them. Finally after Jim had paved
Steves chin with his left and then
slipped over that right as straight and
as true as an arrow from a culver
an old fight follower remarked. There's
Kid Mccoy the second. And he was
right.
1T is only lately that the fans have
been attracted by Clabby's work. He
always had a good jab. but no one ever
accused him of having a money-getting
punch in either hand. Jim has been
coming to the front lately in rapid
strides and now looks to be the best
among the local colony of mitt WELD
ers. He has been biding his time tack
ling the second and third-raters, but
learning something new in every. bat
tie. Jimmy is in line for windups
now and will be seen here this winter"
1t is understood that as soon as
Clabby has his bout in Milwaukee he
will be exhibited to the fans on the
coast and he is also scheduled for a
fight in New Orleans. Minneapolis is
another city in which he will appear
and before he is through with his
trip he will be well known all over the
country, as he expects to go up against
the best that each locality produces.
The following is Clabby's record to
date:
Born July IA, 1890, Norwich, Conn;
height, 5 feet So inches; weight, 1913
pounds; color, white; nationality, Irish.
