a AT ILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. 1o.-Thc
WN Australians may have their
lVA special day for big turnouts of
fight fans, but the Yankees can
boast of their New Year s afternoon
as the greatest boxing day of the year
and January /, 1914, was tho banner
New Years day of all time for the
boxing fans and boxers. There was
hardly a city of any note IN the conn'
try that could not boast of a boxing
championship battles, A conservative
estimate places the number of shows
held iu the various big centers at thlr-
tv. eight. In most of these places there
were from three To four and In some
instances FIVE bouts on each card, max
ipg total of more than l25 contests
in the one day.
That is surely going some Tor sport
that is being hammered al the time by
neople who do not understand it. There
were numerous knockouts registered,
the most notable being Arthur Pelkey

McGoorty on Top.
For some time the friends Of Dave
Smith in Australia have been having
quite an argument as to who was heavy
weight champion of the aptlpodes.
Dave claimed the crown because OF nus
defeat of Bill Lang, who held the ttle'
hut who had been beaten by sam Nc
Vey However, under tho new rules
McVey could not hold tire champion

t;ma at least, by Eddie McGoorty, the
Wisconsin middleweight, putting Mr..
Smith TO sleep in one round. OF course,
Eddie can claim the title while he .ls

leaves there the championship will re

Up to the present week / was under

the writer, dated Philadelphia: II no.

viii clear up the matter once and and 'H,S for
all. There have been many fine fight
ers of tho name of Smith and it is
hoped that "Gunboat' will keep mn the
good record Of the house of Smith. His
defeat OF Arthur Pelkey must make his
father feel like getting into the game
himself and the chances are that when
g Gunboat again gets home there will
be some celebration. He was hot after
a match with Georges Carpenticr. bur
as the latter will sail soon for Aus
tralia, the chances are that "Gunboat',
will have considerable length OF time
to wait, as Georges will soon have TO
enter the army of France.

McGraw of the Giants, as wide

and in their managerial methods as the
north and south poles, rank as the
greatest leaders in haseball's history.
But which is the greaterl
1t 8 natural question that Follows
such situation, and it's g question
that at first seems hard TO answer. y et.
after studying the records OF both
men, it seems that the honor OF being
the greatest leader must rightly be
given TO McGraw.
This statement is made in face of
the fact that Mack has won as many
pennants--hve in numher-as has Me
Graw, and that Mack has grabbed three
world series championships in four
starts, while NeGraw has won but once
in four starts.
The success Of the Athletics has been
due mainly TO tho ability of the play
ers; the success of the Giants has
canny power of McGraw to weld
bunch Of mediocre ball players into
pennant-winning combination.
In 1913 Mack won the American
league pemant because bis team as
whole ranked as not only the best in
that league. but also the best In the
world With McGraw it was different.
