SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 8. -
That Gunboat Smith is not q
fighter of marked ability, is the
consensus of opinion among sport
ing writers here. While he won
over Pelkey, he was very wild at
times and left openings that a
clever opponent could have util-
lied to great advantage.
Pelkey is regarded as pretty
much of a dub" to put IL In
plain language. After the first
three or four rounds he displayed
little initiative and a propensity
to hang on.
Adverse comment, however,
has left the sailor serene and
smiling, and he is still busy with
the idea of getting a match with
Jack Johnson, of which he has
been talking ever since his vic
tory over Pelkey.

in the numbers of killed and wounded
with the street accidents in this coun-
