LIGHT WEIGHT loses
FIGHT TO GIBBONS
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES.

United Press stan Correspondent.
NEW YORK. Sept. 13.-The Nc.
Farland-Gibbons fight was still the
chief topic of conversation in Gotham
sporting circles today and If anything
was even a more popular theme than
II was Saturday. The concensus OF
opinion was wholeneartedly that the
Chicago man deserved the decision
although there was not much inclina-
tion to give Packey great gobs of
credit because Of his light punching
Few, however. questioned the fact that
Packey landed two blows to Mikes
one, light as they we're.
Just as the concensus Of opinion
was that Packey won, sport writer's
and critics were practically unani-
nous in the belief that Gibbons can
attribute his defeat to making lat
pounds Gibbons looked drawn in the
ring-there wasn't an ounce of fat
on him while Mcfarland was sleek
and smooth.
The fight itself, taking It by and
large, was unsatisfactory to the ma
jority OF the record-breaking crowd.
Lack of (. real solid blow throughout
the entire ten rounds and the frequent
clinching. found little favor with New
York fans who have been educated
up TO the slashing style of mixing.
Opinions of fighters themselves who
witnessed the match we're in favor OF
Mcfarland. Abe Attell. former
featherweight champion. thought Nc
Farland won; as did Jim Coffey, the
Dublin Giant, and others. Willie
Ritchie, American lightweight cham
pion. thought it was about a draw,

Gibbons left for his st. Paul home
Yesterday over $4,000 richer for his
thirty minutes work. His share of the
purse was S15,00O and added to that
was $1,000 for moving picture rights.

Jack McDevitt's New Castle Del
Mars have copped the league gonfalon
and there is great Joy in the river
town. True to fame. the boys won
the first game Of the double bill with
Parkside on Saturday, thereby win
ming the flag and then played an "ex-
hibition game" which Parkside loose
ly won. But II was not the game
that was needed However, It was
some finish. and altogether a fitting
climax to the first season of the new
league. Sixteen hundred fans which.
by the way, was the biggest crowd
that has looked at a Del-Mar League
game this year. saw the grand wind
up, and the glad hand that was given
New Castle after they had the flag
up sounded somewhat like a German
artillery attack on a Russian column.
The jubilation continued in the old
town until late at night. Manager
Jack, Captain Sam Connell, Scout
Murphy. ct al. we're acclaimed the
towns most distinguished citizens,
and not a few admirers as
sured Manager Jack that he could
have Mayor Rodney's job next year
lOl lIE dEhAMEs JAM M1M'fAAH WAAA
be too busy next year to get tied up
in politics. He intends to go after
the 1915 Del-Mar League pennant.
II was New Castles most eventful
day. The old town is rich in his
toric memories, but in years to come
the natives will look back to Satur-
day. September II. 1914 as the great
est of all days in the history Of the
CITY. for they will recall that on
that date the town boys became
famous in baseball.
New Castle won the pennant
through superior pitching. While
other managers in the league depend
ed on two twirlers TO help their clubs
in the running, McDevitt held four
men. any one of whom was the equal
of any other man in the league. That
the club lost seven out Of twenty-four
games is surprising considering the
quality Of its slab work. Every other
man on the team always played with
the pennant in view.
When the curtain went up on the
rubber game, Wise and Cofhn were
doing the heavy work. Parkside got
next to Wise right off the reel, and
without mincing matters, Manager
Jack concluded that Wise was a long
wav from home and hauled him out
sending West to the relief, -. West
turned the trick, although Pete Coffin
pitched a better game. New Castle
got the benefit Of the breaks and took
the lead when Mcguire let Carlin's
single get through him, allowing the
runner to score on Gibbons double
II was that run that prevented
Parkside from tying up the schedule
and forcing a decision for the cham
pionship into the second game OF th'
day
Parkside fell down again in th'
eighth frame, after Duncan had oea'
out a bunt and stole second. On az
infield out Duncan tried to steal third
but overran the bag and was caugh
a mile. Had he stuck to second th'
Wilmingtonians might have had 2
chance to tie up. However. its al
over now except the shouting-in New
Castle.
New Castle and Vandever, the lat
ter champions Of the All-Wilmingtol
League. will now endeavor to get TO
gether in a series for the count
/ championship.
