CLABBY MASTER
Of GEORGE CHIP
Indiana Middleweight Awarded
Decision After 20 Rounds
of Hard Fighting.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. Jimmy
Clabby, of Hammond, Ind, gave
George Chip, of New Castle. Pa, a
sound beating last night and won
the decision at the end of twenty
rounds of hard fighting. Clabby
fought cautiously but never failed
to take the aggressive when the OPP
portunity offered In the fifth round
he solved Chips awkward but dan
gerous style, and from that time on
began to cut the larger man to pieces
al long range, and smother him with
blows in the clinches, keeping HIM
self well covered.
In the ninth round, while Chip was
going backward, Clabby shot in a
straight left that knocked the Penn
sylvanian to his launches He got
up instantly, somewhat Jared, but
not badly hurt.
Chip did his best to finish with n
rush in the last round, but Clabby
easily battered him down, and when
the referee gave his decision, Chip
walked over and congratulated the
winner.
Promoters hope to slip in another
fight before the anti-priZe fighting
amendment adopted Tuesday goes
into effect, which will be five days
after the vote has been certified.

r. Norris williams "a, the new
American singles tennis champion,
whose sensational defeat of Maurice
Z. Mclaughlin at the national tourna-
ment at Newport recently furnished
one of the most startling upsets of
the present sports season, has had a
most meteoric rise In the court game.
Born at Geneva, Switzerland, on jan
uary 20, 1891, of American parents, he
is yet to celebrate his twenty-fourth
birthday. Williams spent his boyhood
In Europe and began to play tennis
when he was twelve years old under
the tuition of professional coaches. At
twenty he had won several foreign
championships and was noted as a
player of much promise.
In the spring of 1912 he sailed for
the United States for the purpose of
entering Harvard University. In COM
pahy with his father Williams board
ed the Titanic, and when the steamer
sank, following the collision with an
iceberg, his father was drowned and
the son had a narrow escape from the
same fate. When Williams started to
play during the season Of 1912 1t was
seen that he was a player of unusual
calibre and he at once became the
sensation of the year. He was defeat
ed but three times, two Of the defeats
being administered by Mclaughlin
and at the end of the season Williams
was ranked second among American
players. In 1918 he won several Sec
tional titles, was member of the
winning Davis cup team and runner
up to McLoughlin at Newport. This
season his work has been equally brill
liant, although both Wilding and
Brookes defeated him In the Davis
cup matches at Forest Hills.
| Williams's chief fault in tennis, Is
his erratic game. When he Is at the
top of his form he is the equal of any
player in the world, but these exhibi.
lions have been as a rule but flashes
UntA he defeated Mclaughlin he
never gave sustained exhibition OF
his full ability with the racquet eX-
tending beyond one set. Against Nc
Loughlin he showed a game which for

prerogative of the champion to name
the weight for all matches in which
the title has been at stake, Viii g
Battling Nelson was champion he
compelled his opponent to do 1873,
and AID Wolgast, who easily made
the weight, followed in the footsteps
Of his predecessor. Ritchie, however,
has been more liberal in that respect,
not because he is inclined to give an
opponent any the best of it, but be-
cause he finds the higher scale more
to his liking.
Charley White and Johnny Dundee,
two of the most Ifely looking con-
tenders, are smaller boys. In fact,
Dundee can easily do 12S pounds, and
in making matches at 1873 is giving
away considerable poundage. To box
such big fellows as Ritchie and Welsh
where the conditions permit weigh
ing in at 135 pounds six or seven
hours before ringtime. it will be seen
what a tremendous handicap in
poundage he would be up against
With the worlds champion and the
American titleholder eudeavoring to
raise the weight for the lightweight
division 1t would seem that p. Nc
farland's rumored return to the ring
is most opportune. Packey ought to
be able to meet the conditions now
exacted by the two leading opponents
of the division without trouble; but
/ imagine if Mac really determined to
come back he would find that those
conditions only went for the little fell
lows The probability is that both
Welsh and Richie would make inn
possible conditions for the clever
stoekyards boxer.

would have been good man, too, but
his Supreme Court duties eliminate
him from athletics in a big way. Mr.
Ruben stands out as the successor
to Mr.. Sullivan. His modesty is q
handicap at present, but when he
knows the people want him to take
up the task where Mr.. Sullivan left
off he will respond, we feel sure, with
a will.
c.
Banty Lewis has had little hard
luck in that his bout with Young
Jack McAullffe. scheduled for Mo-
svember 16 at Bridgeport. has been
cancelled, and Lewis said this morn
ing that he didn't think he would
make any more matches to box in
the Connecticut town. However,
with November 10 open, Gus Troxler
suggested to Banty that he meet
Jackie Dobbs at the Central Institute
and Lewis accepted Troxler's offer.
So, while the McAuliffe bout. for
which Banty was promised a big
purse, has fallen through, Banty will
be able to pick UP few dollars as
result of his fight with Dobbs on
the night in question.
o
If there is one thing that Lewis
prides himself on more than another.
1t is principle. His word is his bond
and he has made many friends be-
cause he has been on the level, both
in the ring and out Of It. Some time
ago Lewis promised Troxler he would
box for him and that he wouldn't
make another match until he had

FRANK cAVANACH

4 -
one,i and he has promised to prove 1t
to Manager mcfarland before the
New York grind is over. This will
not be Franks first effort In the New
York race-not by a long shot. In
fact, there Is little history attached
to his first appearance in the big race,
three years ago. On that occasion he
was paired with the famous Grassy
Ryan, and the story OF their expert
ence Is one of the most amusing Of all
the funny tales in connection with
six-day grinds. Cavanagh himself
thinks the story funny one, and he
laughs every time IL is mentioned, but
Ryan becomes very much peeved
when reference is made to the yarn.
Both Cavanagh and Ryan showed g.
yellow streak" in that race. and,
after going ten hours, they did the
most wonderful disappearing act on
record. Before they quit both ewore
vengeance on the other and each
called the other yellow" A half
hour after their disappearance they
were found hidden away in one Of the
covered cots at the trackside, snug
gled together in a tight embrace and
chuckling to think that they were
safe from further torture and punish
ment. Charley Turville was their
trainer and it was Charley who dis
covered the two of them in the one
cot. In telling the story, Turville is
very careful on whom he places the
blame, but summing up Of the whole
affair indicates that 1t was six of one
and a half dozen of the other.
o
Despite his propensity to stop sud-
denly in his races, Cavanagh Is q
popular fellow. If he could win con-
sistentIy he would vie with Frank
L. Kramer for the plaudits of the
crowd and he would be q big asset
for the velodrome promoters. Gem
eral MacFarland has coaxed him and
wasted time In turn In the hope of
making something out of him, but
even MAC" has not been able TO
put heart in Frank. He Is on his
last chance, however, in the New
York grind. He will have to show
himself gamester of the rarest type
to remain in form. All mcfarland
asks is for Cavanagh TO do his bit
and not quit. He doesn't have to
win, but he must stick. If he does
finish the race MacFarland believes
It will do him world of good, as 1t
will give him "heart" and confidence
in his races next season. That Is
MacFarlands reason for giving
Cavanagh q chance in the six-day
race. He believes 1t may make a
rider out OF him. Cavanagh has
many friends and he Is the standard
bearer of an association named in
his honor. Every year the Frank
Cavanagh Association hold a ball
and there is always a big time. Last
year 1t so happened that the date
fell on the night of the Kramer
Dinner" This year there is no
counter attraction. The ball will ne
held tonight at the Colosseum on
Springfield avenue. Frank will be
there in all his glory and in his glai
