HIMSELF A GUTTER
Dublin Giant Makes Virtual Admis-
sion That He Quit in Fight
With Moran.

New York. Oct. 25-The New Jersey
SUITS. like Jim Coffey. appear to be bad
losers. Despite the fact that the SUITS
were overwhelmingly defeated at the
polls in Tuesdays election in New Jer-
sey. they are hollering their heads on
about fraud. bribery. ballot box stuffing,
repeating and other things that have long
been recognized as part and parcel OF
our political ramifcations in this coun-
try.
1t certainly appears to be difficult
matter to make some people realize that
they've been soundly thrashed. There Is
Jim Caffey. for example. Jim doesn't
seem to know. or at least he won't admit
it il he does that Frank Moran walloped
him to a standstill at Madison Square
Garden Tuesday night. Jim, in a signed
statement, accuses the referee Of giving
him the worst OF it by stopping the bout
when he was hanging onto the ropes In a
helpless condition.
Moreover, Jim asserts that he was in
full possession of his senses and ready to
continue the contest when Refskee Bill
Brown interfered We suspect ut IL the
Roscommon gladiator realized how badly
that statement sounded he would never
have made it. The only logical Inference
to be drawn from the statement as We
view it is that it's a virtual admission
on the part of Coffey that he quit.
For If, as he boldly asserts, he was
able to go on with the battle. why didn't
he do it or at least make a motion OF
two of some sort to indicate he still had
a little life left in him. But Jim didn't
do any of these things. On the contrary,
he hung onto the ropes for dear life and
acted as IL he didn't know where he was
or what had happened.
No fighter who was in full possession
of all his senses and able to continue the
struggle would do that unless he was q
downright gutter. And far be 1t from
us to accuse Coffey of being cur In
or out of the ring. We believe. on tht
contrary, that he is a game fellow anc
will fight as long as he is able to. But
Coffey by his own statement brands him
self as a gutter.

SUSPEND FOOTBALL
AT POLY INSTITUTE

New York, Oct Sit was announced
this morning by the authorities at Poly
technic Institute that until further no.
tice all scheduled football games and

KinselIa played the same game that

Feron- He had much of his old-time
speed, and was particularly effective In
taking the ball from the side and back
court. Macklin's game very much re-

lacked the speed of the latter and was
always at a disadvantage in the rallies.
Rinsella after the first two games set
