LOSES 1T
Fight With McGOOrty Goes
Against Western Fighter.
Gibbons Not in Same Glass
With Oshkosh Fighter.

New York, Dec. 5.-Eddie McGoortv
OF oshkosh outpointed Mike Gibbons
OF St Paul in every round of q ten
round bout at Madison Square Garden
last night.
The fight was a disappointment to
many Gibbons followers evidently
expected too much of him, while the
McGoorty adherents looked to their
Iile.la 10 score a Knockout: Both men
were clever, Gibbons particularly. with
a remarkable exhibition of defensive
work. He was so evasive that Nc
Goorty could not get in his deadly left
although he punished Gibbons almost
continuously with short arm hooks
and Uppercuts. Gibbons blocking at
times was perfect.
He led off with a right and left to
neck but McGoorty returned a hard
left to body. The St. Paul man ducked
a straight left but took a left hook
and McGoorty was forcing him with
lefts to face and body at the bell.
During the second round Gibbons
seemed frightened but managed a left
to chin and two straight lefts to face.
McGoorty followed with Iefts and
rights to the head a lead uppercut to
the face, q hard right to the body and
a hard left to the jaw at the bell.
Gibbons jabbed his left to the face
three times in the third but McGoor-
ty was the more effective with body
blows at close quarters. Gibbons de-
pended much on his footwork and was
clever in lodging many blows. There
was a rapid exchange in the fifth, in
which Gibbons got the worst of it, and
in the sixth the st. Paul man was
bleeding.
In the ninth Gibbons sent two lefts
and a right to McGoorty's nose, start
ing blood and McGoorty came back
with left and right hooks to the head
and two straight lefts to the fact.
In the final round after the ex-
change of rights and lefts to the face
McGoorty kept forcing Gibbons till
the bell ended the fight.
The crowd was the largest that has
witnessed a fight in New York since
the repeal of the Horton law twelve
years age

A WORLD OF FUNIA HAS FORTUNE
DepOsed Champion Worth
Over 100000 Today.
Profits Since Whipping Nelson
Are $4,000.

San Francisco, Dec. 5.-Ad Wolgast
has been deprived of his lightweight
crown, but he has enough of earthly
wares to act as somewhat of a balm.
Tom Jones, the eX-champion's mana
ger, made the statement that during
the three years that Wolgast was the
lightweight champion of the world he
made $4,000. Half of this big fortune
was made up in purses and the rest
was accumulated in bets, theatrical
enga gements and outside investment.
'The beauty about it, too,' said
Jones, lis that the German has been
thrifty enough to keep the major part
of it. I venture to say that he is
worth close to $500, 900 today He has
property in Los Angeles valued at
$50, 900, and he has his farm in Michi-
gan. His money has been wisely in
vested and Wolgast has never handled
more than $500 in his life.
''WolgaSt will be one champion who
will not go on the way of his pre-
decessors. He is far from through
with the boxing game, and when he
does retire he can settle down and be
comfortably fixed for the rest of his
life"
