Pum ing On, ww Fa : DDIE M'GOORTY certainly has @ipped something over on the Australians. In yesterday's mail arrived a num- ber of cards from Austr one of hem with Eddie McGoorty’s alleged “record” printed on the back. Modest- ly, Eddie doesn't claim to have knocked out Gunboat Smith, Sam Langford, Jim Jeffries and a few others. Probably overlooked their ames. But he does credit himself with a “win" in each of his no-decision bouts. ‘The Gret line my eye fell upon read, "1912, May 38, Bob Mohs, won, 9 rounds.” Aight. It went ten rounds, not nine, a8 McGoorty's misleading “record” has it. And there was no decision.

MoGoorty's 1911 “record” is faked in the same way, crediting 1im with knockouts over men he never ot.
