COMMENT
BY Ed w. Smith.
.HlcAGo, March AFTER

giving the local fans just
little taste of his style
and making them wish that he
might remain here and show them
the real thing in the fighting line,
Jimmy Clabby is hiking away.
He's going TO the Pacific Coast,
there to continue what he firmly
believes will be an entirely sue
cessful march straight toward the
championship among the middle
weight boxers of the day. With
his manager, Larry Lichtenstein,
he is going to Los Angeles, there
to prepare for whatever battles
may be offered in the immediate
future.
UST the other day Larney got
) a wire from the coast which
asked him if he cared to match
Claoby with Bob MCAllister, the
San Francisco boy who made a
good and then sorry showing in
New York rings Larney is of the
opinion that the Clabby McAllis-
ter battle is strictly a San Fran
cisco attraction, and has so indi-
Gated to the Los Angeles promo
ter
IN DISCUSSING the peculiar
boxing strength shown by the
Hammond man, Larney advances
the opinion that unless a fighter
grgt iy,,V-y III III
a complete knockout that he
hasn't a chance in the world Of
beating him. He further adj
vances the idea that the Ham
mOnd man is the greatest distance
battler in the world day in any
division, and that he fights
stronger and better after the
tenth round than the ordinarily
good fighter does during the first
ten.
50" HERE never was quite such
a remarkable fellow as this
one, LarneN remarked the other
evening in discussing his new
protege. For a man who has
few If any natural physical quail
fications he is one Of the wonders
of the world But he has some
thing that is a fighters greatest
asset in the ripg-that is, his
well developed fighting instinct.
He has II stronger than any man
l ever handled, and it chiefly
what makes him the great man he
is to-day"
THERE'S one man, at least,
that Jimmy won't get crack
at for some time to come. His
name is George CHIP, and ne lives
in NewCast Pa. Just at the
present time George is merely liv-
ing. His business is that of fight
ing, but his tools are utterly Grip
pie just now, In his recent bat
tie with Joe Borrel, the hardy
Philadelphia middleweight, Chip
broke his right hand just below
the thumb joint He diGn't know
IL was broken, and kept on using
II, still further aggravating the
trouble. Hence he will be laid
up for some time.
I IMMY DIME, Chips MANAGER,
J told the sorrowful news In
Chicago the other night. when
he passed through on his way
home after handling Patsy Bran
nigan against Richie Mitchell in
Milwaukee Monday night He ad-
mits that he wouldn't be averse
at all to matching Chip with Clab-
by or anybody else on the Pacific
Coast out just now it is impossi-

The Hospital fund received a neat
boost yesterday when 1851 in cash was
added to the amount already subscrib-
ed for the erection of the new building
now in course of construction. The
grand total up to date is $3,719.35. This
represents actual cash that has been
donated and does not include several
thousand dollars that has been pledged
for future payment.
The roof of the building has been put
on-and the outside is all but completed.
The workmen are putting the finishing
touches on the exterior and will begin
the interior work shortly. The build
ing will be completed and ready for oc-
cupancy before long and the good la
dies who compose the building com
mittee are anxious to have enough
funds to pay off the entire indebted
ness. The good women are looking o
the men of Americas to help them.
Send your subscription to Mrs R. L.
Maynard or the Times-Recorder either
one, if you want to help this worthy
movement along.
