The San Francisco call., 1913-11-28

Clabby was right after him. Grifhn
so he took it upon himself to step
claiming him the winner of the battle.
sisted upon lighting and went after
Clabby in a half hearted sort OF way.
eCiabby was right back at him with
another left to the jaw. Griffin
watched the mixup for few sec-
onds and then he again grabbed hold
of Clabby, and this time he made his
verdict stick.
1t was very evident that the ref
cree was either ratified or else Logan
was trying TO make some sort of a
grandstand play. Anyhow. the fans
were well satisfied with the verdict,
even the stanchest admirers of the
former soldier admitting that he did
not have the slightest chance.
CLABBY A PAST MASTER
Not a round was in Logan's favor.
He was absolutely helpless before the
attack of the Hoosier whirlwind. he
showed his gameness and his stamina
by taking all that Clabby had to offer,
but when it came to returning the
compliment Logan did not figure.
When one of his stray punches did
land they only served to arouse the
fighting blood of his opponent
Clabby displayed a varied assort-
ment of wallops. In fact, there was
nothing on the list from the loop-the-
loop left TO the full right swing that
he did not try out on the former SOL
dier. He landed whenever and wher-
ever he pleased. He steered his op-
ponnt around the ring like the man
at the wheel would steer a ship, and
Logan was helpless to prevent 1t.
Although the work of the Indiana
man was clean cut and businesslike.
1t was not quite so wonderful as the
display of science which he showed us
that night six weeks ago when he
gave Sailor Petroskey a 20 round box
ing lesson. In fact, many of the fans
were a bit disappointed In Clabby.
They expected more of him. but, ap-
parently, he did not care much.
There is no doubt that clever
Jimmy is a bit shy on the wallop.
Had his blows carried the necessary
sting to them Logan never would have
lasted six rounds. Up to that time
Clabby landed everything he had doz-
ems of times over. They shook Logan
ND and at times made him groggy,
but he was always there to come back
for a few more of them.
REMOVES FALSE TEETH
' One round was very much the same
as another. Clabby was the aggres-
eor at all times. save when he de-
cided to take a little rest. Then he
would either stall around or run
away and permit Logan to chase him
q bit. He had his opponent sized up
exactly to his liking. He knew just
what he could do with him and he
also knew that Logan was at his beck
and call.
one one occasion Clabby's false
teeth gave him some trouble. They
were partly dislodged by one of Lo-
gan's glaacing blows. The clever
Hoosier held Logan away from him
while he removed the teeth and tossed
them over to his seconds to look after
for him. This just goes to, show how
much worried Jimmy was. and Logan
seemed TO realize it, too.
The punches which Clabby landed
on Logan's jaw did not appear to dis
1ress the former soldier to any
marked degree, so Clabby at once
directed his attention to the stomach,
planting both hands there at will.
The constant hammering to the
lower extremities had the desired eff
feet although the process was slow
and a tedious one. After the tenth

but still Clabby could not finish him.
The Hoosier apparently was very
careless In directing his attack upon
the body of Logan. Time after time
the blows seemed suspiciously low.
Spider Kelly and the other seconds in
Logan's corner protested time after
time TO the referee, but the claims of
foul were not allowed.
LOGAN Is HELPLESS
Logan failed to land a single dam
aging blow on Clabby. Now and then
he would shoot in a clumsy right or
left to the jaw, but, instead of doing
the blood of the Hoosier to boil over.
and, as a result. he would renew his
attack upon Logan.
The former servant of Uncle Sam
had much the better of 1t in height,
weight and reach, but he was unable
TO make these physical edges count.
He simply does not know the game,
and he is a very slow thinker.
When he had a chance to use his
weight in the clinches Logan just
stood there and allowed Clabby to
back him at win. He might have
caused Jimmy much trouble had he
been little more wise to the game.
When the men stepped on the scales
ct Corbetts at noon Logan was a
pound over the required weight, 15S
pounds. Clabby insisted that he make
the weight. so he ran around the block
couple Of times and barely made it.
Logan may have been weak when
he entered the ring, but his weakness
appeared more mental than physical.
Perhaps he may be a regular fighter
some day in the future. but he GER
tainly will have to learn very fast
The first preliminary, a six round
affair between Stockyards Murphy Of
Chicago and Norman Stone Of Los An
geles. was called a draw, although
Stone really won by a couple of city
blocks Bubbles Robinson, the Los
Angeles colored lightweight, and Will
lie Robinson of this city stepped 10
rounds TO a draw in the second ring
warmer
Although the sun shone brightly
and upheld Sunshine Jim Coffroth's s
prediction, 1t was cold, crisp day,
and, as a result, the arena was but a
little more than half filled.
