Gibbons together in a 10 round battle.
Here are two boxers of the same
weight, about equal in the scientific
points of the game and hitting, with
the shade in Clabby's favor, and who
have met three times with honors
about even, the odd win being in favor
of Clabby, and both after the middle
weight crown. Clabby has had a won
derful record in Australia, meeting
good men above his weight, among
them Dave Smith, and he is back here
now with the express purpose Of meet
ing Gibbons again There is no chance
for Mike to tell Jimmy to first get a
reputation, for he has made his mark
and has given Mike the only fights OF
his recent career, and they are on even
terms as far as that is concerned
Clabby has met Knockout Brown, q
middleweight, and Outpointed him, and
is now after middleweights Of class.
but he says he will meet Gibbons at
any weight he names, from $50 pounds
uD- Jimmy IS now matched to meet
Leo Houck, a full fledged middle, at
Boston. October 1, and has offered to
meet Eddie McGoorty at 15S D0unds
at three o'clock on the day of the
fight. 1t is Jimmy's intention, through
his manager, Frank Mulhern, to post
$1,000 forfeit to go as side bet II nee
eSSary, to meet Gibbons over the 20
round route at New Orleans OF any
place Mike will agree to. He says il
IS no use posting a forfeit for a shorter
bout, as no decisions are given in New
York and it would be useless.
Charlie White. the clever Chicago

match with Johnny Kilbane for the 122
pound title, but he has offered to take
on bout with Joe. Mandot at New Or

city have been endeaTOring to match

nave been unsuccessful, although Tom
Jones, manager of the champion, has
gone south to talk matters over with
D. J. Tortorich, promoter, and it is
possible that they viii reach an agree
ment as to terms etc New Orleans
would be an ideal place for such a
match, for it would give the followers
of the game in the middle west a
chance to see it. Practically all the
championship matches have been ont
west but New Orleans would afford a
splendid opportunity to all the enthu-
slaSts- MandOt is anxious for the
match, but says that should it fall
through he will be glad to take on
White. The latter will be wise to
keep in his class and let nghtweights
alone 1t is hard matter for good
little man to beat good big man.
Jimmy Dime. the New Castle. Pa.
manager and boxing promoter, may
Irst OF the year and take a trip to
Australia Jimmy has been anxious to
make the trip, but things do not
break right when he intended going a
month ago and he had to give it up
Tor the time being. Now he has Tony
Ross, Tom Mcmahon and George Chip
travelling along at good pace and
they may all decide to take a boat

fighter" writes Jimmy, "an he viii

Jim Flynn for October 10, but Billy

some one said Tim O'Neil beat George

being stopped Chip won fairly and is
now after Jack Dillon and all the mid
We hope to make that
