UP-TO-DATE AND NEWSY \ BEST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YORK THE EVENING WORLD. MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, cs It’s a Mighty Tough Proposition to Pick the Winner of the Mc- Goorty-Gibbons Bout.

Seemed for a time as if they never would get together. Now, however, we are pleased to announce that Mike thinks MMs arm is as good As ever, and perhaps a little better. He is ready to mingle with MoGoorty. And MoGoorty is ready to mingle with Mike. This should be @ very thrilling occa- son. It will be @ mocting between the Big Slam and the Nimble Toe. MoGoorty 1s expected to furnish the fireworks, Gibbons the emooth and shifty work. When the previous performances of the two men are compared MoGoort: apparently has the best of it. He ha been fighting middie and heavy wetghts, while Mike hes diplomatically confined his attentions to welters and near ‘welters. Eddie MoGoorty has great record. His claim to the middleweight cham- @torehip of the world to-day is much better than that of Papke, Kiaus, Gib- teas or any of the others. He has @ctually met the champions of England end Australia, and has whipped them fa @ style worthy of @ champion. Ketchel himself coukin't have done the ‘work more effectively. Everyone who saw that bout remem- ders what MoGoorty did to the much- theralded and advertised champion of Australia, Dave Smith, The latter beat eeveral American fighters in epee then went to France and England, and ‘wound up by coming here full of ambi- tiom. Smith fully expected to clean up the American middleweights within a few weeks and go home to Australia recognized as a second Robert Fitasim- mons. He might have made more of an tmpression if he hadn't met MoGoorty Gret, But he did meet McGoorty, The ght was held in Madison Square Gar- den. Smith started like @ champion.

A Uttle over two minutes later Mc- Goorty reached out a lasy jooking left. His glove dropped on Smith's jaw, Smith turned half a somersault and etruck the floor on his shoulder blades.

Smith went down to Philade phia a week or two later, and the: ade a tremendous hit. He fought at McGuigan's club, and McGuigan (who anything fighter or not) ci ‘over to New York to see McGoorty fight Harrison, ‘I want to eee how on earth thet fellow beat Smith,” sald MoGulgan to me. ‘I can't understand it.

Lf they didn’t more than offset their work in this department tn other ways they would have been far Gown in the race at the finish. ‘The locals had one of the worst sea- sons in their history on the defense, accoming to the oficial averages. They Yanded seventh place, being just two points better off than the lowly Braves. ‘The champs made 280 errors, which is almost an average of two errors per me.

Robinson of the Pirate Brown of the Bostons, Willis of the Cardinals, Wiltse of the Giants, Adams of the Pitteburehs, Rixey of the Philadelphias and C, Smith of the Chicagos are the pitchers who fielded without making an error all season, It will be seen by this Mat that every club but Brooklyn is represented in the Hall of Fame, bat they have the next man in line—Rucker —who took part in more games than the hove mentioned men. “Helder Jones 1# now touted as the ——— New Challenge Expected for Cup| Bow Here 7 To-Day|\$ Now that Charles C, Allom, owner of the fifteen metre British cutter Istria, iw in this country, many of the prom: inent yachtsmen here ‘seem to be of the opinion that the famous British sportaman's trip to America was prob- ably made for the purpose of tasuing a challenge for the America Cup.

What a difference from the result of the sojourn of the Athletica in 1910, just after they won the world's championship! Then they were beaten badly.

Last year the Giants, who lost the world's champlonahip, visited Cuba, but they won » big majority of thelr games, It ts watd that the Athlettes lost $6,000 on the trip, Manager Mack took the trip for the purpose of rounding the men into shape for next season.

In the mean time Coffroth plans an elimination contest series, Wolgast and elther Burns or Mandot furnishing the first attraction, Rivers announced to- day that he would not be idle while waiting for a crack at Ritchie.
