Ii is painfully evident that the dem.

things that brings to the farmers OF

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. s. -
Jimmy Clabby, middleweight
champion of America, and pos

Clabby is son of good down.

his birthplace are scanty, for he
was q baby of when his father,
steel rolling mill man, migrated
to Hammond, Indiana.
Some nine years ago. when
Jimmy, then IA years OF age, was
escorted by his daddy to see a
couple of boys don the gloves, he
was introduced to Ole Oieson, the
featherweight, who was well
known In the middle west not
many years ago, and that was
what started Clabby ringward. lie
admits playing hockey from school
on various occasions just to take
some lessons from Oleson--and
Father Clabby had no protests to
offer when the real facts became
known.
Clabby's first bout was at La
Porte, where he put on the gloves
with some unknown In a six-round
affair that was called a draw.
Right there was where turn

the middles. "They took up a
ringside collection and | received
So for my services, the first
money l ever earned"
The years 1906 and OF saw
Clabby a full-fledged performer
in the short-round game around
his home state and finally he in-
creased his prestige until he was
doing nicely In Milwaukee.
Now the champion boasts
proudly that he has taken part in
more 20-round contests than any
pugilist In the ring at the present
time. Twenty-seven is Clabby's
record.
Clabby likes to box. Outside Of
his profession, Jimmy has a dozen
hobbies, most of them of the OPEN
air variety that keep him in good
shape.

What would you do IL you were
one of the worlds greatest mid
dleweight boxers and were blessed
with an older brother who was
onco really the worlds greatest
boxer in the same division?
Tommy Gibbons, younger
brother of the Marvellous Mike of
st. Paul, Mimi, happens to be
face to face with ust such a prob
lem. But Tommy has solved the
problem. He is going to vacate
the middlcweight class and will
step into the lightweight division
with a view of eventually annex
ing the worlds championship
crown among heavyweights.
Tommy Gibbons is going to be
a heavyweight. or that there is
no doubt. He boxed Billy Glover
at New York on Thanksgiving
day, and, although he had trained
right down to the minute, the bat
ting brother of the Marvellous
Mike weighed 166 liz pounds.
Right off the reel Mike shouted
with glee. Tommy is going to
be a heavyweight.
Keep your eye on this second

is, indeed, marvellous boxer. He
has engaged in eighteen bouts

and ten OF that number were won

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-National
league magnates assembled at the
Waldorf today in annual conclave
with President John X. Tener In
the chair. Two important ques-
tons were expected to hold the
spotlight during the best part OF
the sessions. One was the pro-
posed extinction of Charles ".
Murphy and his mentor, Charles
II. Taft, as far as baseball is con-
cerped. The other was the funer-
al arrangements and formal burial
of the Federal league. Both ques-
lions were expected to furnish no

It was realized that Murphy
