But Bailey received an excellent re

the night was cold, and the en-
thusiasm was not very strong at an,
time. If he makes good he'll be &C

all he is worth. That is the American
way of doing things.

the day, but it was also admitted
that he didn't have much to spare
As to McGoorty, it must be added

Mr.. Eddie McGoorty doesn't look any
better than the next one. In fact
when McGoorty is unable to do just
about as he likes he does what is
known as dogs it." This slang IN
depreciation of an inferior perform
ance was very much in evidence
when Eddie fought the elusive Mike
Gibbons. Yet to be strictly fair about
the matter. there was a pair of NUTS
in the ring that night. One was nc
better than the other, but we blamed
McGoorty most because all the ad-
vantages were on his side. The fight
was about the worst in prizering his
tory, and Gibbons hasn't been any
good since then.

sion refused to put its stamp OF
approval on bouts between whites
and blacks. This, too, in view Of the
fact that all three commissioners
were believed to have been In favor
of such contests. Everything was

boat Smith and Sam Langfort

1t was believed, would go a con.
siderable way toward settling the
white hope question and bring
back the heavyweight championship
to the white race. That, of course
is the way the situation is being
presented by those most concerned
in the colored boxers. However, tn,
commissioners couldn't see it, Of

While 1.-The i'll wind is sure to b,
tough shedding on the coloret
brigade, white boxers will hail tn,
commissions decision with delight
! Right off the reel, Frank Moran will
come in for a big piece of chang,
that he might never have been giveI
the chance to earn If Langford haC
been allowed to box Smith at Madi
son Square Garden. With such j.;
match out of the question, Mr.
Moran, whose fame has spread sine
his victory over Al Palzer, will hav
an opportunity to display his talent
against the Gunboat. This bout
which has been talked of ever sine
the night of the Moran-Palzer bat
tie, is practically settled on for Sep
TENDER 49, In the absence of bette
things, the fans are sure to appre
ciate a Smith Moran bout.

Although Moran gave Palzer abou
the most artistic whipping that on
man ever handed to another mar
there is something about Manage
Dan McKetriclx's boxer that doesn'
seem to fit. He has been in tn
game some time and his career, Will
not sensational, has been more tina
passable. His fight with Smith o
the coast was good enough to brin
him through twenty rounds of millin
and he didn't do badly at all in hi
contest with the late Luther Nc
Carly in New York. When he wa
matched against Palzer he was i'm
mediately set down for trimming
vet he came through with flynn
colors and surely deserves niue
merited praise.
