Dan McKetrick has a bunch. Zee
gets them ever so often. but this time
the bunch is the regulation, dyed-in-
the-wool, blown-in-the- kind Dan
thinks that Mike Gibbons has run out
of the match with Jake Ahearn. or
course, Dan may imagine a lot OF
things when he closes his eyes and
sees that $4,000 guarantee soaring
away. That is the largest chunk o.
do-re-mi that Dan has flirted with IN
long while and tor expect that DAME.
would exhibit the gentle composure OF
a choir boy just now would be exceed
ing foolish.
The little Legion of Honor man IS
flooding the city Of St. Paul just now
with real crocodile tears. Jake
Ahearn is the bright particular star
of his existence. Dan never tires tell
ing Of John Bulls boy. McKetriek
thinks that Ahearn Is the 81 'diesf
fighter in tho world, so fast, deed
that going up the side of the Metro
politan Life tower on high would be
absolutely nothing In Jake's life. There
came telegram from st. Paul last
night signed by McKetrick. 1t tells its
own tear jerking tale:
Tribune, New York:
Gibbons finished training Tuesday
afternoon, looking in fine condition. We
all met at o'clock 10 select a referee.
Mike was suddenly slapped on the bach
and turned around quickly TO face
Young Ahesrn. Mike took Ahsarn's
hand, az the latter ked:
mike, how are your
Fine answered the Phantom.
$50 am l." said Ahearn. Loci me
over, Mike. Cast your eye on the big
middleweight you are fghtins Friday
, night. You'll gather that I'm not the
skinny little lightweight you fouht sew
eral years ago
mike, much fustered, blushed and
turned away, with a sickly smile on his
face. Ahearn. quick TO see that Glib
bons was fustered. turned to those
present and laughingly remarked.
"'Gibbons is bundle Of nerves. I
wouldn't be az all surprised II he
fiunked out Of fighting
Several hours afterward Gibbons
I notified Promoter Louis How that he
was i'll and in bed.

Jimmy Dime sends a number Of clip
pings from the Boston papers which
tell of the George Chip-Jef Smith
fasco at the opening Of the Armory
A. c., last Tuesday night. All of the
Hub critics declare that Smith was
hopelessly beaten and knockout
seen ed certain when the alleged foul
occurred.
Doc" Almy, in "The Boston Post"
wrote:
AT the time OF the foul, Chip had
Smith bleeding from the mouth and
nose and in distress, and a knockout
appeared TO be close az hand. Smith
evidently felt this way about II him
self, for several about the ring claim
to have heard him say, Let up, will
you? Pm all in
THE request had no effect on Chip,
and ID his eagerness 10 end the fray
he whipped IN left and right 20 the
body. Smith went down, there was
yell Of Foul! FOUL from his corner,
and Referee Powers Young Donohue),
after taking n quick glance at Smith
ruled against Chip. Some said foul
had been committed, while others
didn't see the blow. In the opinion o.
the writer, the blow was low, but at
that Chip had the battle practically
won az the time.
Smith was a bit tired in the seventh
and Chip went out 20 force matters at
a faster clip. About the middle of the
round Smith put left and right 20 the
head, but was countered by a hard left
hand smash that caught him full in
the face and he began 10 wobble. Chip
rushed and Smith closed and hung on.
They broke. and Chip put hard left
swing TO body and a right smash to
the face that did not help the Jerseyite
any. JEFF was bleeding badly and in
bad shape, and Chip in his attempt TO
end II fouled his man and lost the
verdict when victory was within his
grasp
The difference of just one and two
thirds per cent Of the gross receipts
prevented a Moran-C oifey match being
made Wednesday night. Ike Dorgan
and Billy Gibson met by accident at
the six-day race shortly before mid
night. The argument over the amount
OF money to be paid Moran was re
sumed. All that afternoon they had
