VANDY- AUBURN DATE
SURE TO BE CHANGED

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Dec. st is
Practically a sure thing that Auburn
and Vanderbilt will meet again next
year in football, but hardly on the Sat
urday before Thanksgiving day. It is
doubtful if Auburn can ever be per
suaded to play a game on this date
again. after what Georgia did to them
this Thanksgiving.
The second Saturday before Thanks
giving is suggested for the Auburn
vanderbilt game. This will give both
colleges chance to recuperate in time
for their Thanksgiving games with
their old rivals.
Birmingham fans believe their town
is the logical place for the playing of
the game
They say that the Auburn students
came up on special train, and that it
would have been no more expensive for
the Vanderbilt students to have done
likewise. To play the game in Nash
ville they say, would prevent the Au-
burnites from attending. and in playing
the game in Birmingham nothing more
is asked of Vanderbilt than of Auburn
students

CALF ORN|A FOR
YEARS TRIES To
WIN TITLE
BY Ed. w. Smith.

%ALIFORNIA's dream of one day
u having the lightweight boxing
crown worn by real native son
has been realized to the fullest. True,
it was foul punch that caused the
shift in ownership, but the shift is there
just the same, and everybody on the
coast is happy-that is, everybody who
believes in California.
1t has taken years of trying for the
Golden State to attain its end-years
of developing and scheming. And Call
ifornia has produced some of the great
est of the worlds lightweights.
| The nearest previous effort toward
dragging down the lightweight title
came when Jimmy Britt, once amateur
| champion, became a star professional
and fought Battling Nelson for what
was then termed the white lightweight
championship" a mongre title that
carried little prestige, since Joe Cans
! then was in the heyday of his success,
and it was generally conceded that the
"old MASTER was easily the daddy of
them all in the division.
List Is Long One.
| Britt licked Nelson once, or rather
got a decision over him, and seemed
then to be the best of the white men.
But he tackled Cans and lost in the
fourth round when his ulna bone was
cracked-or so they said. That was
CALIFORNIA; best previous effort.
But Just glance through the list of
good lightweights that the Pacific coast
has produced and you will wonder that
the state never came closer to annexing
the honors of the division. Just hasty
mental resume of the last few years
calls to mind such names Ct sterling
young battlers as Toby Irwin, Frank
Picato, Johnny Murphy Johnny and
| Tommy Mccarthy, Lew Powell, Aurelia
| Herrera. Eddie Hanlon. Spider Kelly,
Anton Legrave, Dick Hyland, frankie
Burns, Johnny Frayne, One Round
Hogan, and last but by no means least.
the little Mexican, Jose Rivers.
Richie the Lucky One.
This doesn't take into account the
one man of all. who, springing up like
a fungus growth just a year ago, came
through in a single year and won the
title. His name is Willie Richie, and,
while at glance one wouldn't say that
he is better than some Of the other Cal
| lLOI mans NuO dSpII GU " IlC t4liC' ~
must be admitted that he has it on all
of the others in one single point. He
delivered.
AS we expected, Willie is going to
lower the bars a trif1e and not be so
COMPOUNDED Compunctious about the
weight as the two previous holders of
the title were. Willie doesn't say so
actually, but it is likely that he will let
the lightweights in hereafter at 1873
pounds, the weight to be made several
hours before ighing time.

McGoorty- Gibbons Go So Bad
An Investigation Is Demanded
TEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Disap-

NEW YORK, Dec. 5-Disap-
" pointed fight fans today de-
manded that the state box
ing commission make an investiga-
ton into the McGoorty- Gibbons
fiasco staged in Madkon Square
Garden last night.
The ten-round bout with the
middleweight championship at
stake. billed as the great fistic
battle of a decade" was about as
thrilling as a game of chess, and
many Of the spectators, disguised
with the stalling exhibition in the
early rounds, left the Garden, while
most of those who stayed jeered
and hooted the fighters.
Some critics declared the bout a
draw. others claimed a shade in ia
vor of McGoorty, because of his
flashy work in the last four rounds
and because he was the aggressor
throughout the fight.
During the early rounds the bout
resolved itself into little game of
tag. with McGoorty being "it" most
of the time and chasing the St
Paul fighter around the ring.
1t wasn't a fight that carried
much satisfaction to anybody. Nc
Goorty was looked on as the like
ly winner, but it was believed he
would win by knockout. He
didn't. The Gibbons delegation
thought their man could hold his
own and win draw verdict. He
didn't.
There was a tremendous crowd
out-the largest in years-and they
got a bum run for their money. They
saw McGoorty punish Gibbons
steadily but they marveled at the
clever blocking of the st. Paul
scrapper. Gibbons opened the fight
with right and left to neck, but
McGoorty returned a hard left to
body. The St. Paul man ducked a
straight left to face and body at the
bell
During the second round Gibbons
seemed frightened, but managed to
get left to the chin and two
straight lefts to the face. McGoor-
ty followed with left and rights to
the head, a left uppercut to the

scarcely to be expected that the
players and the officials of the club
would remain in hiding that even

cafe on the South Side which has

SoX headquarters. There was a
dinner of course, and the big

Side team were present.

There were many courses. Also
many toasts. The big pitcher sat

the broader became the grin of the
pitcher. Those things will out.
Somebody said something about
the walsh kids" The next mo-
ment it was generally known about
the board that President Comiskey
had presented the walsh kids"
with $4,000. That amount was to
be split between them.
That's the truth of the Comiskey
appreciation of the Walsh spirit,
the Walsh arm and the various at
tributes which made Walsh of al
most inestimable value to the White
Sox team last year.
The story is scarcely as pictur-
esque as the one that has been go
ing the rounds. This is to the eff
feet that before that final game was
played the master Of the Sox
called his star pitcher to the office
and remarked thusIy:
Edward the eyes of the world
are upon you today. Upon that
good right arm Of yours depends
the chances of your team mates in
this, the deciding struggle, of

GO out and pitch as you never

your effort and the lads who wear
the white hose are returned the
conquerors, you may draw upon me
for 1900 simoleons. But if you fail

No, it was the other way. All
Commy said was: ED, here's $4,000
for the kids. It'll pretty near edu-
cate them. And l hope you make

GERMANS BET 8 MILLION
ON PONIES LAST SEASON

BERLIN, Dec. 5.--Local newspapers
point with some exhibition of pride to
the fact that bets on Berlins four race
courses during the season recently
closed totaled roundly 100000, which
is an increase of $250,OO0 over 1911.
The statistics are made possible be-
cause of the fact that all bets on the
race tracks are made through an off,
cial totalizator betting machine The
bookmaker is an unknown parsonage
on the Teuton turf.
Sixteen and two-thir per cent of all
the money which passed through the
totalizator goes to the state. so the
Prussian treasury rakes in the tidy sum
of S1,350,000 as its share of the fruits
of Berlin's gambling passion. Most bets
were placed on the hurdle races. Flat
racing and trotting seem to be losing
favor with the bettors

By Bill Bailey.

NHICAGO, Dec 5.-Charles A.
Comiskey, owner of the
White Sox, did not give Ed
Walsh, his star pitcher, $500 at
the conclusion of the post-season
series between the South Siders
and the Cubs.
Mr.. Comiskey did not give the
big pitcher a cent. You are shock
ed? Be not so. There are mem
bers of the Walsh family aside
from the big pitcher. Oh, l know
you never heard of them. But
Charles A. Comiskey has. And this
isn't a story of what Charles A.
Comiskey did not do but one of
what he did
And he didn't forget the Walsh
family.
Instead of handing Edward, the
pitcher, $1,000, he presented the
two sons of the twirler with $500
each. Making total of $4,000
Now, are you shocked? OF course,
you are not. If the Old Roman
happened to present the Walsh
family with $4,000 you would not
be surprised. But If he had failed
to present said family with some
token of his esteem you would be.
That's because the Old Roman IS
expected to give Which means to
show his appreciation.
Walsh Works often.
1t happened like this:
Edward Walsh pitched about
every other day during the regular
season and when it came to the
series for the championship of Chi

cry three days. That may not be
accurate, but 1t gives you the i'm
preston that Walsh worked fire.
quently. Which is the truth and
the idea at the same time. Well,
when six games in the city series
had been played to a decision and
the seventh was scheduled, Mr..
Walsh was called upon. That was
quite unnecessary. 1t would have
required more than the moral per-
suasion of Manager Callahan and
the physical strength of kid"
Gleason to have kept him off the
mound.
Walsh went to the slab and when
the game was over the White Sox
