M'CLOSKEY A Conner
SAYS PETE HERMAN
Superior knowledge of Boxing
Enabled Richmond Lad to Win,
Writes Bantam Champ &
JOYCE LOOKS GOOD, TOO
BY PETE HERMAN
bantam Champion Of the World.

Willie McCloskey was an easy win
ner over Sol O'Donnell at the Audi
torium last night. McCloskey knew en-
tirely too much for his opponent. who
did not seem to have the same knowl
edge of the ring game as Willie.
McCloskey,' in my estimation, had
five of the six rounds by margin, the
other, which was the fifth. was even.
In this round only did O'Donpell show
any real form. McCloskey was favored
with good punches in both hands. He
displayed a fine left jab and also. q
good hook. His right cross also landed
with telling effect.
Because of the way McCloskey
punched---short. snappy. and with lots
of steam behind them-he reminded me
a lot of Irish Patsy Cline when he was
boxing in his best form, before he be-
came so sluggish, fat and slow. Nc
Closkey looked very good to me, and
If he is schooled properly l think he
will be up among the topnotchers in the
Lear future.
Using is Eddie Joyce. The boy has the
goods; there is no doubt about that
In knocking out Johnny Martin, who
l am told, is a supposedly iron man
Joyce had to show more than punching
ability. And Eddie showed it. The
knockout came in the fourth round. bui
before that Joyce demonstrated that h,
had good left iab, a swell right cross
nifty one-two punch and. best o.
all, very cool head. A right -handei
to the jaw knocked down Martin fol
the count of eight and then another
right handler put him away.
Joe Wright fought great uphill
battle. Even though Bobby Burmai
knocked down Wright in the secoDs
round, Wright came back so strongly
thereafter that he was entitled to a
least draw. And, furthermore
| Wright deserved lot more credit wher
it was learned that he had sprained hi
ankle in the second round.
Reddy Jackson showed enough forn
and aggressiveness to win by a shad
over Harry Kid Stewart.

H|TLESS WONDERS
RUNLESS LOSERS
Wild Bill Donovan Stopped the
White Sox in Most Impor-
tant Game in 1908
TY COBB GOT HIS REVENGE

There have been many famous battles
in the spectacular history of Comiskey's
Chicago White Sox, but no game ever
meant as much TO the crack windy city
club as the last game of the 1908 cham
pionship season with the Detroit Tigers.
Victory meant the pennant and another
chance to play the Chicago Cubs,
whom the Sox had beaten in 1906, in
the worlds series. Defeat meant a
plunge into third place.
In an earlier article in this series,
the remarkable American League race
of 1908 was reviewed from the Cleve-
land angle. 1t may be recalled that
the Indians would have won the PEN
nant had they closed the season with
three straight victories over the st.
Louis Browns. But defeat in the first
game of double header on October D,
the day before the close of the season,
put Cleveland out Of it. 1t left it up
to the White Sox and Tigers TO tight
for the pennant on Tuesday, October
@, the last day of the season.
Only the Herculean efforts of Ed
| Walsh kept the White Sox in the run
ming in the last mad uasn tnrougn
| September and early October with the
Tigers and Indians: Walsh worked in
seven of the last nine games played by
the White Sox that year, including a
double victory scored over Boston on
September 20.
Bill Donovan, who ranked next to
| Walsh that season among American
League pitchers, was Jennings's twirl
ing choice, and at the last moment
Fielder Jones selected Doc White to dc
his pitching.
The Tigers, with the clever Donovan
bowling down the Sox like so many ter
pins, played horse with Chicago ant
won the game by the lopsided score o.
Z to 0.
One wild first inning cooked the hopes
of the Sox before the contest was tel
minutes old. Jones had started tn,
wrong horse in White, for the southpav

Three Matchmalcers Seek

AFTER KILBANE co
BY LOUIS II. JAFFE


DETEY HERMAN has been in Philly
: for several days, and he's going to
stay around for some little while. To
prove that the bantam champs stay IN
this city will be indefinite, he is plan
ming to have his wife and child come
here just as soon as the weather gets
warmer.
Whenever Herman comes to Pbiladel-
phia. talk of meeting with Joe Lynch
usually starts The chances are that
the latter part of this month or early in
March, There are three promoters
who want Peter and Joseph to clash.
They are Jack Hanlon. of the OlEmpia
Pop OBrien. of the National. and Dave
Mackey. of Newark. If either of the
local matchmakers get the contest 1t
will be put on as the headliner OF
special show.
Another match which is in the
making for Herman is one with Roy
Moore, who recently was given de-
cision over Pal Moore in Baltimore.
Negotiations for this mix are on now,
and if definite arrangements are MADE at
Herman and Roy will fling fists in the
general direction of each other some
time in March.

For while it looked as if Pete would
get chance to add another champion
ship to his credit. But everything went
flooie when Johnny Kilbane said moth :

New Orleans promoter offered j. Patrick

Herman says Kilbane insisted on

fered to the featherweight king, he said
he would not take the match unless ii
was at catchweights. To this, Sammy
Goldman, Herman's manager, refused
to consent. So, all negotiations were
dropped.
Since showing here against Patsy
Johnson, when Herman dropped tht
Trenton lad several times, Pete ha;
scored two knockouts. Out in st. Louis
Pete socked young fellow, Kid Regan

Valger contest before making an offer
to the featherweight champ. Mackay's
other unusual program is of the all
