backed away and covered up turtle
fashion, ntinuously, lasted the ten
rounds. McGoorty won.
McGoorty and Hicks each weighed

McGoorty was trimmed down to 153

nature of a joke and gave him chances

not offer Gibbons.

the run and McGoorty in hot pursuit.
Hicks backed away With the speed of
his face. -McGoorty found it hard work
to keep him within distance. In the
finst round Eddie swung a, left to
Freddie's face and then landed a right
uppercut.
In the second he repeated the dose.
In the third session Hicks took cour--
age and landed two blows to the
stomach and a left jab to the face.

hooked to the portion of the face that
Hicks exposed.
Under the inspiring Influence of jeers

fourth and fifth rounds. McGoorty
pulled him into several leads Two

Eddfe's chin. That gave Freddie con-
fdence and he opened up his defense.
McGoorty took, advantage OF this and
jabbed Fereddie's mouth, shot over left

ROAST WILLARD FOR
NOT GOING TO COAST

Jess willard appears to have made
another mistake in judgment when he
changed his mind about accepting a
match with Gunboat Smith in San
Francisco Willard now refuses to go
to the Pacific coast, and has turned
down Promoter Coffroth's offer, al
though at first he appeared willing.
This sudden change of heart on Will
liard's part has brought discred9t upon
him in California, where he is now be-
ing derided aS a, false alarm. He is
and the sporting writers out there are
digging up alleged instances where he
is said to have shown the white featla-
er before.
As California is about the only place
where the Kansas Giant can hope to
win the championship, it would seem
that he is showing decidedly poor
judgment in allowing himself TO be
placed in a bad light in that section
of the country.
Whether there is anything in the
charges concerning Williardss courage,
1t is certain that on several occasions
he has acted in a manner that has
left the matter open for doubt. AT
present he is in bad standing with the
New York boxing commission for re-
fusing to fulfill a contract to box One
Round Davis before a. Buffalo club.
Until he settles this matter satisfac-
torily he is barred from boxing in the
cIIliar person, and it is possible that
his foolish actions are merely the re-
suit of poor judgment on his part He
has a firm belief in his own superior
wisdom, and will accept advice from
no one
