BIG RING DOINCS
Are DUE THIS YEAR
Three Fights Soon That May
Decide a Few Champion
ships

The early part OF the new year
promises something really big in the
fistic line. This month we have the
Clabby- Gibbons tight at Milwaukee
and the Welsh-White melee at New
York. The principals in both of these
fights are sure TO battle with every
ounce OF energy and strategy they
possess, for the middleweight and
lightweight championships can easily
change hands as results. The Clabby
and Gibbons scrap is expected to rank
with the Attel-Driscoll l0-round go in
New York in strenuousness. Another
interesting bit of milling that is ex-
.pected before many weeks have pass
ed is the proposed Richie Welsh. or
Ritchie.S hugrue clash.
The biggest pugilistic event on the
cards at present. however, is the Jack
Willard fghi al Juarez. next
March. Willard Is not conceded much
of show on that occasion. but there
is always chance for a lucky punch
that will rid the ring game OF It's

Another fond illusion mas been dyna-
mited. For years fight fans have glor-
led in the knowledge that the real
name OF Charlie White, Billy Wagner,
and the rest OF the very pugilistic
family, was Anchoyitz. Now we are
informed that Anchovitz is just an
ether alias. and that the story OF that
cognomen has military angles enough
to make il OF timely interest. We will
slam the first ball pitched this time
and give you Charley Whites
