Recent Performances of Smith Appear

pion's Opinion.
is RUGGED INFIGHTER

Shortly after the defeat of Jeffries by
Jack Johnson. wnen the promoters ana
managers were trying desperately to get
hold of heavyweight who looked to
be possessed of championship material,
even in embryo, Bob Fitzsimmons said
to a writer: johnson is great
tighter, and the man who beats him
when he is right must be fairly clever
fellow, rugged enough to stand some
hard punches, and at the same time he
must be able to do some stiff hitting
on his own account. He must also be
strong and bit rough.
In other words, it will take a rip
tearing, slam-bang sort of a fighter
such as Joe Goddard used to be, only
a man of a higher quality of general
ship. Jack Johnson does not like
hard fighting, and I question his ability
or inclination to stand hard blows to
the body or jaw"
Fitzsimmons' Statement.
Fitzsimmons made the foregoing talk
one night in the Gillsy in the presence
of Bob Gill, Col. Murphy, and others.
In a recent talk with a New York sport
critic FItZslInmons EXPRESSED the opinion
that Gunboat Smith can beat Johnson.
F1tZ- believes that Gunboat possesses all
the essentials necessary to vanquish the
champion, and he feels doubly sure Of
this, figuring on the inability of the
colOred giant to train to perfect fighting
condition.
Smiths recent performances appear
to justify the opinion of the former
champion, for he showed in his battles
with Jess Willard and Jim Flynn an
ability to stand hard blows as well as
to deliver them. His work against
Flynn was especially impressive. ac-
cording to the best posted experts in
the East.
Few Americans who have been fol-
towlnS the game closely believe that
johnson means TO take on any oppo-
nents that, look troublesome, for the
Impression prevails that Jack can
never regain his Old-time form. He is
getting some easy money in the music
halls of Europe, and he is, of course,

Philadelphia, Aug. S1-The directors of
the Philadelphia National League Base
ball Club are taking steps to force, II
possible, President Lynch to reverse the
ruling of Umpire Brennan in forfeitinS
yesterdays Phillies-Giants game to the
Giants and to have the game credited
as a win for the Phillies. The action is
to be based upon the fact that there is
nothing in the rules by which Umpire
Brennan could forfeit the game, and that
as five complete innings were played and
the score at the end of the eighth inning
stood PhiIlies, s; Giants, 5, the game
should be credited as a win by the Phil
lies, owing to Brennan's error in judg-
ment.
II President Lynch fails to reverse the
umpire, the matter will be taken to the
National Commission. and IL the high
court of baseball fails to act, it will be
taken to the civil courts. At least, that's
what the directors say now.
The Phillies may ask that the double
headers played August 16 and % at Ma
tional League Park be thrown out OF the
league records. Manager Doom declared
tonight that a protest would be filed
against the victories gained by Chicago
and Pittsburgh on those dates unless
President Lynch erased the 9 to o for
feiture which Umpire Brennan gave New
York here last Saturday.
Doom declared today that in the games
with the Cubs the crowd had filed prae-
tically every seat in the roped OF section
of the bleachers, the Phillies losing both
games.
In the game with Pittsburgh, he says
the bleacherites crowded into forbidden
section. Again the Quakers lost two.
Whats fair for one team is fair for
another" Doom asserted. IF Umpire
Brennan thought Saturdays game was
nterferred with, or his umpiring was not
Ip to the mark, because the fans were IN
seats, why didn't he think the
'ame thing when we lost the game to
he Pirates with his umpiring? Why
lidn't Umpire o'Day discover 1t the day
We dropped a pair to the Cubs?'

UPHOLDS THE UMPIRE

New York, Aug. 3l.-Manager John Nc
Graw, of the Giants, gave out a state
ment today in which he held Manager
Doom. of the PhiIlies, responsible for the
trouble Saturday in the Quaker City
which resulted in the forfeiture of d
game to the Giants with a resultant riot.
The statement reads:
1t is not doing the game any good the
way those fellows acted in Philadelphia
Saturday. l have seen a great many
bonehead plays, but why Doom should
have pulled his is beyond me.
THE Giants might have won the game,
but the chances were against them, for
the trouble started in the ninth with one
down. II Doom had ordered the center
field bleacherS cleared in the ninth We
would have had to continue the contest.
As il was, the stubbornness of somebody
caused Umpire Brennan to declare the
game forfeited.
Il took advantage Of the occasion to
have the crowd removed from the seats
in the center field because the spectators
there were in a direct line with the
batters, waving their hats. coats, and
using glasses to reflect the suns rays
in the eyes of my men.
Umpire Brennan agreed with me and
ordered the crowd from those seats.
Tney refused 10 move. Inc ponce were
unable to get them out. Manager DOOM
didn't appear to make any effort to as
sist the police. Then Umpire Brennan
declared the game forfeited. 1 don't like
TO so on record but l DelIeve President
Lynch will not sustain the protest.
The scenes following the decision
were riotous. To avoid trouble L
brought my team home an hour earlier
than scheduled, and gave up my special

escapes from bricks and other missiles
Mclean saved his head because his
straw hat took away the force Of "a
