MANIFESTLY overlooking the pre-
A'A ponderance of the aforesaid
Johnson in any combination that
might be worked up, the parent Of
this little plan points out that it
would provide a series between the
best players of each league, and would
thus prove a test Of the playing abil-

Additional advantages consisted IN

leagues. The "big cut" also would
be sixteen WAYS, among all the clubs

much the matter with it.
We say mot practicable" because
it isn't. Organized baseball has its
good points, but is not benevolent,

SPORTING COMMENT

that the big fellow met with the
accident in the fifth round, and
showed exceptional gameness to
continue the battle with such a
severe injury.
FURTHER. 6ettinson insists
that Langford is fully as
good as ever he was. and express
ed the belief that Johnson will
have to be at the very top of his
form to whip the smaller man.
NO FOREIGN boxer that we
can recall at this time has
mad harder time in trying to
get the better of American boxers
than Dave Smith, the Australian
nghter who was knocked out in
the first round the other night by
Eddie McGoorty, the Wisconsin
star. 1t was the second time that
Smith suffered complete eclipse
at the hands of the sprightly Nc
Goorty, the end each time COM
ing in the very first round. And
Smith had won the middle, light

as one of the worlds greatest

but he has been singularly I'M
fortunate just the same and al
ways has been mark for the
fast feinting McGoorty and his
deadly left hook. McGoorty
landed II on Smiths Jaw in New
York and then took the long trip
to Australia just to show the
natives there that he could re-
peat, And he did.
THIS was the ninth battle Smith
has had with American
fighters and IL can not be said
that he got as good as an even
break with them. He won four
times, once on a foul, was knock
ed out three times and two Of
the battles were draws. Johnny
Thompson. the Illinois fighter
who used to be a lightweight,
but who grew into a heavy on the
trip across to Australia, lost
twice to Smith on decisions in
twenty-round contests. Jimmy
Clabby, just now an idol on the
Pacific Coast. lost decision to
Smith in twenty rounds and then
fought two long draws with him.
Billy Papke lost to Smith on a
foul in ten rounds and then came
back and knocked Smith out in
seven rounds. the contests being
three months apart. And then

oNOoN is beginning to get

excited over the prospects
there of a real worlds
championship battle 1t will en-
gage none other than the mighty
Jack Johnson and the man who
is regarded by some as even
mightier in a pugilistic sense
Sam Langford. There Is a good
chance, according to the latest
English sporting papers, of the
match being clinched within a
short time for the National Sport

organization of the world.
Doggy 5ETTINSON, manager
of the famous organization,
is anxious to secure the sigma
lures and forfeits of the men.
He went over to Paris to see both
the Jack Johnson Johnson
and the Langford- Jeanette con-
tests, and returned to London
glowing with praise for all of
the colored fighters. His opinion
is in direct contradiction to some
of the views expressed by Pari-

so did numerous fight writers
in this country, but the London

battle was the best he has seen in
years, and that despite the fact
that he had but eleven days in
which to train. L.angford was in
grand shape. but for which he
never could have gone the TWEEN
