SPORTING COMMENT
d oxERs don't appeal to the

- fight fan as much on the
Western Coast as they do on the
Eastern True. the Pacific en-
thusiasts like to see the clever
fellow, but they haven't great
deal of use for him unless he is
capable of swinging the haymaker
of marketable power. The man
who combines the two as Clabby
surely does now. is the ideal man
for the ring out there. Hence
Clabby's great popularity.
ONE of the choicest little bits
- of clever press work comes
from the Clabby camp. 1t is a
story TO the effect that Billy Nc
Carney, manager of the late Lu-
Their McCarty, acting for a Los
Angeles millionaire. has offered
Larney Lichtenstein the juicy
price of $4,000 for Clabby's con-
tract. Both Larney and Jimmy
are said to have Indignantly de-
clined even to discuss the offer
But, knowing both men pretty
well, we also Indignantly decline
TO have anything further to do
with the yarn. But we have Curl
osity enough to want to know
what a Los Angeles millionaire
would want to do with the con-
tract if he got it.
TOMMY WALSH, VIII handled
doe Mandot's affairs, has /
powerful wall against the pres
ent no-decision system in vogue
in different parts of the country.
He cites the strange fact that In
the recent Mandot- Griffith con-
test in Windsor, just across the
river from Detroit. all bets were
paid off on Mandot in Detroit,
but that in Chicago the pa
pers gave the verdict to Griffith.
It's strange, but true. In Detroit
two papers gave Mandot the de-
cision. two declared it a draw
and one gave 1t to the Ohio man.
And that one story giving the
fight to Griffith was the one gen
orally telegra phed into Atlanta
and printed here.
