GIBSON CONFIDENT
OF PIRATE SUCCESS
Not Necessarily Expecting Pen
nant, But Comedies Moth
ina to Others.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 5.-No baseball
fan in Smoketown Is counting George
lGibsons Pirates a sure thing in the
1921 National league race.
Likewise not a fan is counting them
a sure thing out of the pennant dash.
Gibson feels just like the fans.
I'm confident we will make a good
| showing" he said today in speaking
of his Pirates, "but I have never seen
much success in winning winter pen
nants."
"Gibby," Of course. expected to win
the pennant, but he simply admits
that clubs sometimes go against the
hopes of their pilots.
1--WE will start the 1921 race with
much stronger club than we had
last year" he said. Perhaps our
outfeld will not be as brilliant, but
we were well fortified in the gardens
and we still have a dependable array
of talent.
"The outfield has not been weak
ened, and the infield has been i'm
measurably strengthened by the ad-
dition of Rabbit Maranville. We were
weak in that position last year, and
in my opinion now we have one of the
very greatest to hold down that i'm
portant job. We figure we got the
best of that deal, so does Huston, foi
that matter, otherwise the trade
wouldn't have been made.
81 realize, however, that every
batted ball doesn't go to shortstop
and that Maranville can't play the
whole game. He will have the help
of good infleld and 1 feel the utmost
confidence in the present lineup.
1--WE have some good youngsters to
look over this spring. and while every
manager wants a raft of good pitch
ers, 1 am satisfied with what / have
Well win more games than we lose
as we now stand-perhaps that is the
only prediction I should make.
EARLY in June ! can make a pretty
accurate guess about pennant chances
until then-well, whoever won pen
nant in winter?"

CAROLINA HOLDS STARS
OUT FOR ARMY BATTLE

Georgetown University basketers
figure they could have defeated the
North Carolina University regular
just as easily as they did the bunch
that represented the Tarheels in
Ran gymnasium last night.
The Hilltoppers displayed first
class passing game and emerged a
victor by a score of 80 to 20. The
Tarheels inserted their regulars for
the last ten minutes of play. The game
was lost by that time.
With the team of regulars in at the
start 1t is extremely doubtful If the
result would have been changed in
any way. The Hilltoppers after a late
start whooped things up and were in
fine form.
While Jack Flavin was a bit off
color Dudack was easily the star of
the battle. The husky guard Gagged
seven floor baskets and otherwise
got in some splendid passing. Flor
ence was fed by Flavin for three bas-
kets. The playing OF Zazalli was
first class. while O'Connell disting-
uished himself on the passing end OF
the game.
Georgetown was somewhat cha
grlned that the visitors did not send
In their first string bunch at the

NEW YORK. Feb. Jack Britton
ia ready to defend the welterweight
title against Ted Lewis at Madison
Square Garden Monday night.
What's more he is confident he Will
defeat his persistent challenger once
again.
I'm ready to step into the ring on
a moments notice." he said today.
and I'm not worrying about losing
the championship. Lewis is made TO
order for me and I expect to give him
a good old-fashioned lacing."
Britton added that he has worked
harder for this bout than he does for
the usual run of his battles because
it is over the long route.
predicts FAST AFFAIR.
And ] am right as a fiddle" he
smiled. 'If Lewis feels as good as I
do Mondays affair should be- a pretty
fast contest"
The welter-weight champion is
thirty-six years old. He has been
training in a gymnasium surrounded
by many boxers who were in swad-
ding clothes when he started his
career in the ring. yet in physical
fitness and speed he is the equal OF
any of them, to all appearances.
Lewis is doing his training for
Britton at Lakewood, N. J, and
Chsrely Harvey, his manager. is au-
thority for the statement that he
was never in better condition.
MANAGER Is CONFIDENT.
'If condition counts Lewis will
turn the tables on Britton this
time" Harvey predicted today. He
Is in better shape than he has been
in for several years and I expect
to see him win back the welter-
weight crown"
Britton and Lewis have met many
times. Mondays bout will mark
Lewis second attempt to win back
the title since he lost it to Britton
at Canton. Ohio, in 1919.

K. OF c. BOWLERS !,

Basketball Cuts Into Duckpin
Team-Eight Teams to
Finish Season.

Facing bankruptcy in men, not
money, the knights OF Columbus
Duckpin League will hold a meeting
tomorrow morning at 6O5 Il street for
the purpose of effecting asreorganiza-
ton which will leave the league with
eight instead of ten teams.
Owing to the popularity of basket
ball among the X. of c. athletes
many of the bowlers in the Marquette
and Balboa teams have virtually
dropped out OF the duckpin sport. SC
President w. J. Howard has decided
to take the remaining men OF those
teams and distribute them among the
other eight outfits.
Probably no bowling anization
in Washington is presenting such ar
evenly matched contest as that which
exists at this time among the X. oi
c. bowlers. The top six teams al
Whitford, Baum, Mccarthy and Fer
and for that reason some tip-top
scores can be anticipated in the last
series which begins the middle of this
month.
PRESS MEN TO COMPETE.
The individual championship duck
pin tournament of the Newspaper
League will begin at the Recreation

ting point, they will be eligible 70
the next round. Manager Vaeth will

"Fakel Fakew yelled the angry
spectators as they sprang to their
feet amazed at what appeared to be
such a bare-faced fraud.
II certainly was remarkable cul-
mination Of the battle. for up to that
time Fitz had fought at fearful
pace and he appeared to have Jeffries
decisively beaten.
He landed on him repeatedly, cut a
nasty cash over his eye from which
the blood poured, and everyone be-
lieved the top-shaved veteran was
destined to be again champion.
Everyone thinks 1t deliberate
throwdown of the public, and are In
tensely indignant that they have
been again made victims of a fiasco.
When the eighth round started
both came to the center of the ring.
Fitz landed light left and started
the blood. Jeffries landed hard left.
but It didn't seem TO hurt. Fitz landed
hard left to face, and Jenries rushed
and landed three times with left.
Fitz rushed and landed. Jefries
landed with right on the jaw. This
blow had power. Fitz landed hard
right. Jeffries rushed Fitz to ropes
and landed with left Fitz landed
hard right on jaw. Fitz was knocked
down and Jeffries declared the win

TWENTY-SECOND
IN SERIES

This is the twenty-second of
a series of "Old-Time Fights"
written by authorities on pu-
gilism who were famous in
their day. Others will follow.
This tale is of the fight be-
tween Jeffries and Fitz, which
Jeffries won in the eighth
round. w. w. Naughton pro-
claimed the fight fake" He
heard that .Jeffries was to win
in the eighth round, and to sub
stantiate his information wrote
out the program, sealed it and
put it in the custody Of Mayor
Schmitz. The fight came off
as programmed. The fight was
held in San Francisco, July 25,
1902.

in favor of the Giants, giving them
the victory in the twelfth inning.
McGraw, coaching at third base. got
into a jam with Sam Rice. The Griff-
man claimed the Giants manager had
"given him the leg" and Sam didn't
like it. In fact. so peeved was Sam
that some of his teammates had to
climb him to prevent his climbing
McGraw.
The next day came the scrap at
Richmond between Ike Davis, the flea
shortstopper. and Art Fletcher. the
Giants veteran shortfielder. Davis
claimed Fletcher unduly rough while
being chased up and down between
second and third and slammed him
one. Fletcher, with a record for such
things, promptly walloped Davis. 1t
was great stuff.
The Giants copped the first game
here in Washington, and then, as II
to show their scorn OF a team they
had been whipping every day, took
the field for the last contest with a
flock of subs. Washington fans
roared. Clark Griffith roared. We
roared. But, to make 1t worse. the
subs won. which might be called rub
bing it in.
ALWAYS sCRAPPY SERIES.
Spring exhibition series between
the Giants and the Griffmen, come to
think of ii, have ever been hot ones.
We distinctly recall one day at Geor-
gia avenue when Ray Morgan's in
sulting taunts, hurled across from his
position at second base. drove Johnny
McGraw to the cover of the bench.
This, followed a stream of insulting
invectives from the New York mana
ger at the Washington infielder.
And, too, IL seems as though we
also recall a scrap between Eddie
Ainsmith and Snodgrass, the Giants
famous fumbling outfelder. ending
only because the Washington cops
present knew Ainsmith's capacity for
ripping things wide open, once under

GRIFFITH HAS A CINCH.
President Griffith is having pretty
much OF a cinch these days. Details
of the spring training trip have been
about completed. Indeed. the New
York National league club made the
preparations for the seven-game
aeries booked between the Giants and
the Griffs. This is but fair, for 1t
was up to Clark Griffith to arrange
the trip in 1919. So now the hardest
thing Griff has to do is open his mail,
curse three thousand curses when Joe
Judge and Sam Rice are named In the
daily trade and then go over to the
city club for a little cribbage.
But mentioning the 1921 exhibition
series recalls that hot one two years
ago. Indeed. booking the Giants and
Griffs for more than seven games to-
rether might easily land the whole
gang in Jail. Don't let anybody kid
Won into thinking the series will be
a farce. That may go for the hrst
game, but don't bet even on that.
In 1919 the Giants, flushed with a
couple OF wins over the Boston Red
sox. hooked up with the Griffs at
Norfolk. At Newport News the next
day was staged a thriller, with Wal
ter Johnson turning back the Ma.
tionaI Leaguers in right royal fashion.
Then came the real fireworks at
Norfolk the next day. The crowd was
so great that the ouofielders had little
room for their performance, and when
Benny Kauff caught line drive right
in the middle OF the villagers, the
Grifrs yelled. They wanted the drive
held to a two-bagger under the
ground rules.
