Gibson Calls Off Big
Heavyweight Bout

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-There will be
no battle between Sam Langford and
Gunboat Smith in Madison Square Gar
den tomorrow night. This announce
ment was made by Billy Gibson, match
maker for the club. shortly after the
New York State Athletic Compassion
had decided unanimously to retain the
rule prohibiting bouts between negroes
and white pugilists in this State. The
commissioners declare they are not
discriminating against the race or color
They have power under the Frawley
law to make any rules they conside r
necessary for the preservation and good
conduct of the sport

gets into the same ring with the
Hegewisch idol.
Reich Still Has Chance.
Al Reich, the former amateur
heavyweight champion. should not be
discouraged because he was bested
by Carl Morris in New York the other
night. Reich is young man yet
and II handled properly may develop
into a good professional boxer.
Reich should never have been pitted
against Morris. The match was too
one sided. Morris is not a worlds
champion, but he has gained a wealth
of experience during the past two
years and a half. The Oklahoma giant
is a big, powerful fellow and can give
and take a great deal of punishment.
A thousand dollars or so, however,
probably looked like a small-s sized
fortune to Reich and so he consented
to clash with Morris. The careers OF
hundreds Of promising boxers are
ruined each year by their desire to
battle with experienced men before
they have mastered the rudiments of
the glove game.

Is Umpire Batting Worth While?
Evers Says Yes; Zimmerman, No

play had a perfect right to throw
it anywhere l cared to. but the UNI
pire ordered me to the clubhouse just
the same. Then is when l had an
argument coming, but not a chance
in the world"
Then, why argue?" / asked.
Well" replied Jawn. there are
times when a man loses his head. SO
far as calling an umpire Catfish or
such stuff as that, no player does
that with mean intention. It's sim
ply matter of losing ones equilib-
rum for the moment.
"If players never disputed an UNI
pires work It would be rather safe
for the umpire and tough shedding
for the PLAYERS.
81 intend To let out a yelp when
ever l think a yelp is due and take
the consequences.
There are two umpires who always
have their ears to the ground laying
for yours truly. Rigler and KLEIN
seem to have ii in for me. If a de-
cison is questioned at third base, and
| happen to run in to see what's
doing, ] am afraid to blow my nose
or put my hand to my head for fear
one of these umpires will think
am LOOKING for trouble"
ConsuIts Zimmerman.
Having failed to convince the man
ager of the Cubs that he hasn't a
thing on the umpires, I approached
the mighty Zimmerman on the same
mission.
Heine grinned a slcklv grin when
put the question up to him.
We'll. kid" he said, at does seem
foolish for a common, ordinary dub of
a ball player to try to argue with an
umpire. doesn't it?"
assented and Heine continued.
Never again for mine"
That's what they all say and you
probably say it in your sleep" l re-
torted.
But Heine said: Nope. have
made IN my mind that l will cut that
stuff The jumps have it on a fellow
from the word go and he's a blamed
fool when he tries to put anything
on an umpire. Take it from muh.
"When l play baseball my heart is
in the game every minute and when
the umpire hands me a bum deal
lose my head. I try not to get in bad
and have to fight myself all the time,
but It's a tough job 20 take the tough
end and say nothing.
81 fatter myself that I am almost
as good a Judge OF balls and strikes
as Is the umpire who judges them for
me. Well, there YOU are two men on,
and two strikes on you. The umpire
calls third one that you couldn't
have reached with the center pole of
a circus tent
No Chance for Player
Would you lose your head? You're
human, and you'd probably lose three
days salary at the same time.
However, a player knows he hasn't
a chance and he is making a chump
Of himself when he begins barking
at an umpire.
81 hereby take a solemn oath that
I shall try to be good next season
and get back at the umpire by ham
mering the ban all over the lot and
stopping everything that some one
else tries to lose. That's me-"

n ATTLING NELSON is going to
n fight again. provided that he
can induce some kind hearted
promoter to sign him for bout with
one of the members OF the light
weight brigade. Il is reported that a
Milwaukee boxing club is eager to
match the Durable Dane" with Ad
Wolgast for a ten-round whirl to take
place next month.
Since losing the lightweight cham
pionship to Wolgast at Point Rich
mond on February %, 1910 Nelson
has retired from the ring scores Of
times only to don the padded gloves
again whenever a promoter APP
preached him and made a noise like
the rustlng Of hundred dollar bills.
Nelson Should Retire.
Nelson's friends have tried In vain
to persuade him to retire TO private
life They realize that he is injurlng
his health by boxing. DR.. Reese, the
| famous bonesetter, declared recently
after examining the former prince OF
the 133- Founders, that he should be
called Battered" instead of Battling.
When Nelson was in his prime he

and wonderful gameness. Bat" was
| never a classy boxer and could not
punch hard, but, nevertheless, defeat
ed some OF the Craftiest glove wielders
and some Of the hardest punChers the
lightweight division has produced. He
wore down his opponents by his ag-
Rressive tactics and bulldog-like
fighting spirit.
No matter how hard and how often
Nelson was hit. he always kept boring
in. He would never falter for a sin
gle minute. Consequently. he tired
out his opponents and caused them to
become discouraged. The result was
that the Dane ultimately landed a
dream wallop.
"Rat" Worth 100000.
Nelson is well fixed financially and
is not obliged to fight in order to
gain a livelihood. He is worth in the
neighborhood OF 5000 600 which he has
got safely invested in real estate. Il
fight because I like the ring game"
is the way Nelson explains his refusal
to retire.
IF Wolgast and Nelson meet in
Milwaukee it will be a "grudge" bat
tie pure and simple. There will he lit
tie interest in the bout from a cham
pionship standpoint A large num-
her of fans" however. are sure to
turn out If these former title holders
meet
Nelson has said many harsh things
about NVolgast since the latter re-
lieved him Of the lightweight title.
He has termed him a cheese cham
pion" and has regarded him as a
joke as a real "headliner." AID will
probably recall these things if he ever
