MOORE-O'GATTY AFFAIR | ROUSES RING OFFICIALS|[= Referee of Wierd Bout Has License Withdrawn and Packy Is Suspended Pending Probe by Commission—Lewis and Britton Matched. BY FAIRPLAY. EW YORK, January 29.—There is every indication that the New N York state boxing commission has determined to make such an | example of Packy O'Gatty, whose bout with Roy Moore, the St. Paul boxer, last week had a questionable look, as will do a lot to correct the betting evil ip this city—provided, of course, the fighter c:m-i not clear himself. The referee already has had his license withdrawn pending a hearing on Wednesday; the fight has been declared no con- test, and O'Gatty has been suspended pending hearing. If, as a result of the quiz, O'Gatty is found guilty he may draw down a six months’ sus- pension. That O'Gatty-Moore fight was one of the weirdest bouts held in thisci under the Walker law.

Before the fight the referee is alleged to have spoken to Moore, warning him to be careful about hitting below the belt.

He lay writhing upon the floor, giving every indication of a man hit below the belt. But, seeing that the refereei was counting over him, O'Gatty jumped to his feet and began fighting. In the mext round Moore, after deliv- ering_a body blow, was disqualified and the bout awarded to O'Gatty, who walked to his corner. it is stated, ap- | parently in good condition. Here, it} is alleged, his manager told him to! act like a man who had been struck | low, which O'Gatty did. Later when | one of the boxing commissioners— there were two, as it happened, at the fight—visited O'Gatty's dressing room | he threw another fit. The whole af- fair, not forgetting the riotous and @ Mmenacing behavior of O'Gatty's fol- Jowing~~who were said to have bet heavily—has been regarded as dis- creditable. The next championship bout will involve Jack Britton, the welter- weight champion, and Ted (Kid) Lewis, welter champion of England. ‘The fight will take place at the Madi- son Square Garden February 7. Some day if Lew Tendler and Wil- lie Jackson keep fighting, one or the other wili be liable to get hurt. Charley Leonard, Benny's brother, has a harder left hook than the cham- pion has. according to Benny.

Running- the bases backward has several times caused confusion in major league games. In a major league game several vears ago, with runners on first and third, the runner on first stole second, with a hope of drawing a throw from the catcher. The catcher refused to make a play on the runner. After two balls had been pitched to the batsman the run- ner on second made a break for first base. When the catcher received the pitch, Tunners were again on first and third. The ball was thrown to second, but the umpire gave no decision. Then it was thrown to first, and immedi- ately the runner dashed for second. The ball was thrown to second. and the rupner on third dashed for home, but was out at the plate on a close decision. What are the rights of the base runner on such a play? Rule Now Is Clear. th time was by to! between the bases on first bagse. Now t.

Tilden, world tennis champion, and | Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, Unit- ed States woman's title holder, will compete in France and England this year. Previous to defending his world title at Wimbledon, England. Tilden will compete in the French na- tional championship in the early sum- mer, while Mrs. Mallory will compete ter on Gridiron. When Clarence Gosnell receives his graduation diploma next, week, Mc- Kinley Manual Training School will lose one of its most valuable athletes. Gude, as he is known to his school- mates, won his letter in two major sports at Tech and has made his pres- ence felt in both. He has been the} jmainstay of the basket ball team this | season and will be sorely missed in the sccond-round games. Gosnell captained the basket ball teams at Tech in 1918-19 and 19%-20. Under his leadership, Tech gained a floor championship last season and in the women's singles. Mrs. Mallory's entry in the French championships may bring about the much-awaited duel with Miss Su- zanne Lenglen, who won the woman's international title at Wimbledon. Tilden and Johnston Sail. Tilden and William Johnston, mem- bers of the victorious American team, sailed for this country from Sydney, Australia, on Thursday, according to cable messages received here.

Sounds like a fairy story, but it is true. Gobar Babu is just off the boat from Calcutta. He is the wrestling champion of India and actually eats pure gold! “It makes me strong, you know,” said Gobar, in English, as he ar- ranged his turban of silver-cloth—a magnificent thing given him by a maharaja and valued at several thousands of dollars. “You laugh. You do not believe me. but it'is so. Before each wrestling contest I must eat gold. I take the gold leaf—oh, at rate of present ex- change about hundred forty, fifty dol- lar worth—and spread honey upon it. 1t is quite good, sir, and it make me strong, and I never become tired when I wrestle many hours.” Pearls Good, But Expensive. "L am not joking, sir. You must Know that maharajas often drink pearls dissolved. They are good, too, and make you well. Gold gives me strength and I am never sick. Be- sides.

Checked in the first half of their conflict with Gallaudet, the New York flve came to life in the latter part of the game and won by a 39 to 26 count. The Brook- landers will encounter Fordham after the Maroon and Black freshmen have plaved Eastern High School in a game begin- ning at 7:30 o'clock. The Gothamites played a steady game to beat Gallaudet last night. The Ken- dall Greeners, once ahead 15 to s, were leading, 17 to 14, at Intermission, but Fordham's clever passing finally told. Gallaudet depended too much upon long shots. It was their lack of team play that hurt and when the visitors fairly launched their attack they gained the upper hand rather handily. Gordon, center, and Kelly, guard, starred for Fordham, while Baynes did the best work for Gallaudet. Outplaying Brooklyn Poly in the first half, Georgetown managed to take a 38 to 30 game in Ryan gymnasium last night. The Hilltoppers stepped out in front in the opening period, gaining a 20 to 6 advantage.
