WHO WILL SUCCEED kETcHEL


 CHICAGO. - It is beginning t look as if the boxing game will soon have d legi innate middleweight cham pion. which it has not had since the death of Stanley ketchel. Mike Gib- bons, who aStonished the followers Of he sport by unexpectedly oppins Bob McAllister in New Y TX in seven rounds recently, is the fighter who Rill probably be the next wearer of the middleweight crown. His surpris- ing vic ory over the Coast boxer has opened a new road for the pro noters toward settling. once and f r all time. the much disputed ques ion who is the leader of the 15S pound CTS.
 With the elimination of McAlliste' there seems 10 be only three men among whom ;he tit'e hangs. They are Gibbons, Jimmy Clabby and Ge-rge Chip. A champion ought to be taken out of that group. They have practically beaten all the oth- CT contenders and are entitled to be given the right to battle it ou am0ng themselves.
 Probably it will be questioned why Eddie McG orty is not coun ed in his group. The answer for that is easy. Clabby met McG corty last year at Butte. Mont. and gave him a 'ecisive trimming in F rounds This contest alone eliminates McGoorty. It may be said that Gibbons also was defeated by Clabby. This is true, but hat took place in 1910, when Gib- bons was practically a newcomer in the game. He has developed and improved so much since then he should be given another trial against Clabby The St. Paul b7Xers las two contests, in which he stopped Wildcat Ferns and McAllister, mark him as one of the leaders and entitle him to a vast amount of recognition.

NEW LEAGUE EXPENSIVE.

NEW YORK. Organized base ball men, who have been investigat ing the financial status of the Fed eral league promoters. figure that it will require at least $2000,000 to put the new circuit in working order-to sign players, buy or lease property, build grounds and pay travelling ex- penses.
 Each of the eight clubs must have s25O,000 to cover liabilities before the ga es are opened in the spring. As all but Chicago, Pittsburg and St. louis are minor league cities, and IS the Federal promoters have an- rounced that 25-cent ball will be olayed, the big league magna'es can see nothing but failure for the new venture.
