By Ed W. Smith.
VEN if the doubling ones do

VEN if the doubling ones do
lot accept Gunboat Smith
as the real thing among the
white heavyWeights of the day,
the Gunner can claim the honors
for a little while at least. Luther
McCarty was the last man to hold
a clear deed to the title, and as
Pellly was the last man to bat
tie him, he had as good a claim
to the title as anybody. Now
that Smith has disposed of Pelky,
his path is clear About the only
man thought to stand in the Gun
boats way in the least is Jess
Willard, and only last August
Smith defeated him in a twenty
round battle out on the Pacific
coast.
THERE'S one admirable thing
L about Smith that should en-
dear him to the fight fans. He
has the punch and isn't afraid to
use it. He is aggressive and
fights all the time, although the
accounts of his battle with Pelky
would indicate that he used more
than his usual amount of caution.
He simply wanted to make sure
of it-thats all.
CHANGING over the field. there
~ isn't much in sight in this
country right now for Smith, and
we wouldn't blame Jim Buckley,
his manager, much if he sought
foreign shores for game There
is a nice purse awaiting Smith on
the other side with Georges Car
pentier as the opposition. Inas
much as both Frank Klaus and
Billy Papke, beaten middleweigh
of this side, have trimmed the
French star, he shouldn't be much
more chan an ordinary handful for
the Gunboat.
TT is impossible to take Tommy
i Burns seriously in his report
ed wish to be a come back. The
roly-poly Tommy would require
weeks to get into shape, and we
doubt if he ever could be fitted
for a hard battle. It's hard to fig
ure out how a man of Toms
means-for he must be worth
close to a quarter of million
dollars-can wish to take up the
narrowing grind again. But there
surely is a glamour about the spot
light of the ring that doesn't at
tach TO any other game. This is
the only way we can figure out
the Burns desire to try and re-
gain his title.
THE white hope situation is

turned from England absolutely

the party that returned were
Young Kid Broad Benny Kauf-
man and Johnny Mayo. Accord
ing to one of the Philadelphia
papers, they went to Europe at
the behest of gambler who saw
some profit in the iaunt for him
self only
A ND that's exactly tho way the
"A trip turned out. The boys
found that there was no more
money in Europe for the fighter
than there is in America, and in
many places not nearly as much.
In addition, they were eaten alive
with training expenses, and in
country where they did not speak
nor understand the language of
the native it was mighty poor
pickings for them.
EVEN the better grade of fight
IL err finds that there is little in
a European trip. Frank Moran,
who is one of the best of the
American white heavyweights,
has gone broke several times try
ing to scare up a match on the
other side, and even the negro
heavies, who have been battling
in Paris and England, find that
there isn't much fat picking.
CCORDiNG to the story of one
- of the returning party, if it
hadn't been for the kindness of
Joe Woodman, they never would
have been able to get out of
France, and would still be there,
with some huge bills for board
staring them in the face. And
now they are telling all other
American fighters to let well
enough alone and stick to their
own firesides.

AN AERIAL DUEL

Paris, Nov. 1S.-A thrilling encoun-

German, two French and two British,
occurred in the vicinity of Ypres.
The German machines were destroyed
finally by artillery and the officers
they carried were killed.
The Germans were seen approaching
to reconnoiter the lines Of the allies.
The French and British airships imme-
diately ascended to meet them For
some time the air craft circled about
each other, rising and descending
while machine guns spattered bullets
among them.
Suddenly the four allied aeroplanes
made a swift dash toward their tren-
ches and were followed BY the Ger
mans, who too late discovered the
feint and perceived the perils Of the
situation only when fshrapnel burst
about them. In few minutes the
four German aeroplanes crashed tc
