C. Agrees With Gibson and Would Get Along Without Them. BY VINCENT TREANOR. TILLY GIBSON'S objection to de- B cisions by the referee, under the new Frawley law, has stirred up a variety of opinions in the sporting world. Gome agree with Billy, and others do not, saying that official de- cisions are half the game The Mc- Mahon boys, Ed and Jess, who manage the Olympto A. C., believe with Gibson that referee's decisions won't do the game any good, won't add to gate re- celpte and, instead of increasing the popularity of the sport, are more apt to bring i into disrepute. With Gibson, they say that should the new law be repealed at some future time, the direct cause will be traceable to referees’ de- cisions, “Well get along without de- cisions if possible,” said both the Mc- Mahons. Harry Pollok of the Twentieth Cen- tury A. C, disagrees with Gibson and the others. “Decisions are a good thing for the game. They would mean better fights,” says Harry. about the think means let us have decisions and make the referees stand on their merits. If any club hasn't enough confidence in (te own referee let them get another one. Making referees decide fights will do away with some fool decision that have been made by the newspape! Some of them have been pretty raw, you know." DECISIONS WILL KEEP WOLGAST AWAY FROM BROWN HERE. Dan Morgan, manager of K. O. Brown, says: “Decisions by referees will keep Wolgast from fighting Brown here. Had there been a decision in their previous bouts Brown would have had them, but now that they may give them here | think Wolgast will refuse to take the chance of having his reputation punc- tured.” The subject has become an obses- sion with Gibson. He says himself he has lain awake nights thinking of it, until now he ably satisfied that unless there is @ general agreement on the matter, the sport, now on a sounder pires, and, like the latter, may be abso- Nutely honest and straightforward. They may give decisions solely on their judg- ment and without the suggestion of having been influenced. Still there usually will be room for dissension. Look how umpires are hooted and hissed when there ts nothing more than HE Pirates have the pennant bee I buzzing so loudly in their bonnets just at present that they have made arrangements for Marty O'Toole and Jim Kelly, the “million dollar’ bat- tery bought from the St. Paul Amertoan Amoctation Club, to report to them at Pittsburg on Friday.

C. There 1s many a grandfather around the country who any day may be heard telling some child or other of the time he saw Peter Maher, the “Irish cham- pion,” in such and such a fight; of how Peter, with nimbleness of foot and fleetness of punch, knocked out the most formidable of opponents, No wonder when {t was announced that the same old Peter, he of the mys- tle ages, was golng to fight at the Fatr- mont Athletic Club against Jim Doh- erty, @ fellow thirty pounds heavier than himself, and a chap who had youth and strength in the bargain, that the fans laughed They could hardly believe it was the same Peter that was going to battle, They thought it must be some other fighter who had recognized the prestige that went with the name and adopted !t for ring purposes. They all thought that Maher must be dead “t) e years.” Well, Peter Buy ways whence we don't know, and he came back and won new glory for himself. It seems that this fellow Doherty in some way or other insulted Peter, and the latter wanted revenge. He thought the best way to get it was to arrange a regular bout with him and have his rival conquered where every one cout witness his hum!iation. Peter entered the squared circle weighing over 200 pounds. His halr— what was left of {t—wes as white the freshly driven snow, while he car- red more weight than an elephant. | However, that didn’t prevent him from displaying flashes of the form that made him a much feared man in the old Horton law days, He practically put Doherty away in @ punch. He firet hit him on the nose and made !t bleed pro- fusely, then stepped back and planted a right on the jaw, scoring a clean knock- out. It took several minutes bofore the elub attendants revived Doherty, end when he was asked what he thought of Maher's “kick” he feebly eatd: “Sure, I'm eorry that I ever ealdany- thing againet Maher.
