HARRY MOORE CONVICTED
FDOLINC OUTWHlSKEY

Convincing evidence was given
against Harry Moore by two witness
es. Nothing that George Elmer, coun-
sci for Moore, could do, had the effect
of weakening the direct testimony of
John Brown and Harry Cline who
stated that they had frequently pur-
chased liquor of Moore in small guam
titles and paid for it regulation
price.
Both Brown and Cline we're evil
IDENTIFY unwilling witnesses. but en-
tirely truthful. Each testified that
until a few weeks ago they had been
constant customers of Moore for sew
eral months and had purchased liquor
in pint and half pint quantities for so
and % cents, according to the quanti-
ty Their testimony was given in de-
tail and bore the impress Of truth.
Both Brown and Cline declared they
were friendly to Moore, but doggedly
kept to the truth.
Neal Hitchner, Allie Ford, Harry
Martin, John Beck and Robert Corson
all declared they had frequently been
at Moore's house, but never had made
| liquor purchases of Moore. Martin
admitted that he had bought liquor of
Moore before he was convicted two
years ago, but not since. Martin and
Ford both admitted that they had
drank at Moore's house, but were al
ways treated.
| Mayor Whitaker told Moore that he
did not have any doubt but that he
had been selling liquor for profit,
but he did not know how much. He
told Moore that his previous convic-
ton should have been a warning to
him. THE people of Bridgeton", said
he Mayor, "have said they don't want
liquor sold in Bridgeton, and the au-
thorities will enforce the law"
1t being the first time Moore had
been before Mayor Whitaker, the sen
tence imposed was a fine of s100 or
60 days in Jail. He emphatically de-
clared that if Moore came before him
again he would get the full extent OF
the penalty fixed by the ordinance.
Moore went to Jail for sixty days.

guilty. In doing so he stated that so

Smith Gets Boost 81 His
Victory Over Langford
coast Fans Change Minds About Gunner Being Tirnid
and Will Welcome Him When He Meets PeIkey.
Fight Followers Are Eager for the "Gun-
boat" to Meet Morris
By Hop
BY W. w. NAUGHTON.

TO do so ne will receive many an IN
pleasant reminder Of his rem1sSness as
he makes his triumphal tour around
the fOOtlights circuit
"GunbOat" Smiths success is quite
tribute to the powers Of dtscernment Of
one Jim Buckley The latter saw smith
perform few times in san francisco
and could not very well shut his eyes
to the fact that "GUnbOat' was any
thing but a popular ringman herea-
bouts at that time.
Among other things Smith was &C
cused of showing the white feather
when the going was rough, although
in this connection the writer feels like
saving in fairness that he has never
seen anything in Smiths case which
could be called pronounced cOWardlce-
True the Gunner has backed away at
times when the other fellow went at
him pell-meu, but I have seen num-
bers Of the stOutest hearted ringsters
do that The courage that isn't quail
fled with a little caution is more hin
drance than a help to a fighting man.
And as George Dawson once said, We cry
few boxers become champions through
getting in front OF every blow aimed
a them"
Buckley heard all that was TO be said
about Gun boats yellow streak and
think he viii get along alright there
and maybe you fellows won't know him
when he comes back
Gunner Makes Good.
under Buckley's direction and many
discussions have arisen as to how il
was that Buckley saw so much prom
Use in Smith, when the supposedly wise
men of the west had pronounced him
a dub.
Tt was. no doubt, Gunboats ability to
punch that impressed Buckley 1t
stands to reason. of course, that the
sports at this end knew Smith for a
hard hitter. but they probably figured
that Smiths timid style of fighting
would prevent him from developing his
knockout blow into a reliable asset
Buckley thought otherwise He knows
that experience is of infinitely more
benefit to a fighter than sOcalled cOur-
age and he figured that If he took
Smith back east and kept sending him
into the ring at every opportunity he
would beget confidence, which. after
all is courage in its most useful form
Buckley's judgmen was good Smith
has not only improved both in knOwl-
edge of boxing, but IN the weight Of

"Gunboat" Smith earned-or at
- any rate received decision over
Sam LangfOrd-
have thought well of the award and
while LangfOrd's manager may have
sent broadcast kilograms denOunclng
the verdict as a Boston ruling and
an outrage a decision is a decision
after all and contributes its share to-
ward building up a reputation
LangfOrd Not In Condition.
To those who saw roly-poly sam
LangfOrd in action with Jack Lester at
Taft. the idea Of LangfOrd calling upon
heaven to witness that he was WrOnged
in his match with Smith is humorous
As the writer pointed out after the
Taft affair. it would require months of
earnest effort to place LangfOrd In
condition to participate in anything IN
the boxing line
as high in flesh at Boston as he was
at Taft and if he really tried his best
and was wOrsted, he worked an MUS
tice to himself
about the best man of any color at
present before the public and he should
not have risked a hard-earned reputa-
ton when he wasn't fit to do himself
justice.
Smith Comes to the Front.
In any case, no matter what was be-
hind the Boston bout, "GunbOat' Smith
IS the gamer and it must be said that
he has gone to the front in a wonder
fui manner during the past year. 1t
may be urged that there are certain
men he should meet and certain men
he is none too DESTROYS of meeting. but
his record as it stands is more impress
sive than that of any other man in his
class.
It is such, in fact. that If question
arose in any foreign country as 10
who was the best heavyweight in
America, eight of every 10 followers
of pugilism would name "GunbOat
Smith
He has victories to his credit over
Jim Flynn, Carl Morris. BOmbardier
Wells. Jess Willard, Charlie Miller,
BOer Rodel, Sam LangfOrd and Frank
Moran. and this practically means that
the only man left for him TO try con-
illusions with is Arthur Pelkey. A

few years ago.
GunbOaty Goes West.
"GunbOat' Smith-whose nom de
guerre is derived not from the artil
lery he boasts, but from the general
size and conformation Of the shoe he
wears-has gone west He will halt
only at the Pacific coast and the fact
that his near-fight put the breadth Of
the continent between himself and Carl
Morris seems to some to be significant.
To these the fact that Gunboat is
matched TO fight Arthur Pelky New
Years afternoon. is not an explanation
Of GunbOats haste to get beyond reach
Of Morris challenge. And the fact that
he will duck from the eastern shores of
this country to England on Jan. Is to
meet Wells makes them only the more
1nsistent that Smith does not want to
risk his "hOpe" reputation in a secOnO
bout with the Sapulpa behemoth.
In short, many Of the New York fans.
believe that the man with the "Occipf-
tai punch" is on the run to safer ter
ritOry.
Making Hay In Season.
Smith is in peculiar position now.
1t may be merely his desire to make
the most of a promising financial out
look, rather than fear of his laurels,
that prevents his hearkening to the
cry Of the hoi pOllOi for an engage
ment with Carl. the engineer For
after all is said and done, Gunboat al
ready owns decision over Morrison
a fOul-and also one over Sam Lang
ford On this bit Of glory Gunboat
can get matches and money for several
months to come by beating up men of
inferior talent.
When the field has been cleaned up
Smith can come back and pick up a big
pot in a long fight against Langford.
After that, if we read the mind Of
manager Buckley correctly, it will be
time to think about taking on the
more dangerous elements. Norris
stands for great risk and by no means
a maximum gain; therefore he's a risk
to be taken last.
Morris, who has had more than his
share of the bad breaks incidental to
climbing to the top is again being put

have a passer who can kick, throw

Notre Dame comes near being ideal,
and I've been told that all the Notre

Eichenlaub as an alternate. Any
how, this pair beat the Army
Whiskers on Eastern Football.
But it's a joke to see Yale, Prince

teams do in the worlds series and
that, to my mind, is another joke eX-

7 think there are any number OF
football teams in the west superior
to any in the east In fact, any team
that has mastered the forward pass
and its kindred open plays can beat
clumsy Harvard with her milliOn-dol-
lar kicker.
This Michigan team is a whale. The
line is a steelriveted affair with a con-
crete base. Talk about your shoulder
to-shoulder stuff You just should see
the Wolverines. They'd charge through
a 12-inch wall without a scratch. I've
got a good line, but We didn't do much
with Michigan. And YOst plays an open
game to boot. He may not make many
passes, but your defence is disinte-
grated half the time because Of his
fake plays run from a passing or
kicking formation. I think Michigan
is one of the best teams in the coun-
try with its nearest competitors to be
found in the west also"

= T LOUIS, No, Dec. after two
consecutive seasons without rad

this sort of play that holds the eye or

Kicking Game Improved.
The scoreless ties that marred com
petition several years ago seem to
have been shunted out Of the game,
the attack having been sufficiently
strengthened to permit a team with
real strength to get within field goal
kicking distance
But the touchdown. the backbone Of
the old game, is still as difficult to
obtain as ever, when straight rushing
methods are employed The three big
gest games Of the year, and many
lesser ones, were decided purely on
field goal scoring, Yale, Harvard and
Princeton being unable to cross each
others line In very lew games, and
then only when the defense Of the los
ing team was palpably weak, were
consistent marches for toUchdowns
made.
