“ 4 : Ld ” wae * Palger ni GUNBOAT SMITH RATED HG BEST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YORK LESA0VE FEATURES OF GUNBOAT SMITH’S RING CAREER AMONG NOTABLE FIGHTERS -e- - | Well Known Promoter and Good Judge of Fighting Men Says the Gunner, Usually Overmatched in Size and Weight, Earned Record as Knooker-Out Which Compares With Best Men Since Jim Jefiries’s Time—Some Compre, 1S by he Pree Pu WAS talking with « well would RES pws fighter because his bulk gave him a to box very well, but he fought a lot of smaller men before he met Johnson, and be didn't make any wonderful showtn mendous advantage in strength and weight and reach over every man he ever fought, but he never fought in proportion to his advantage. Imagine Willard against a clever man bigger & fight would he put up? Judging by the poor showing the only time he ever met a man near his own bulk—that ¢en-round bout with Carl Morris. he wouldn't do much. “No, The greatest fighter we've had since the time of Jeffries and Fitzsimmons is Gunboat Smith.” After a pause to let that sink in, my promoter friend went on “Look over Gunboat Smith's record, and then remember that the Gupner never weighed over 182 pounds In his life, and usually from five to ten pounds under that. Look at the nun ber ‘of quick knockouts on his list. ‘That's the test of the real fighting man. A natural fighter doesn't stall around and think of his defense until the last round, the way Johnson used to. He doesn’t lean back and let the other fellow rush him, the way Wil- lard does. He goes in to win, and win @s quickly as he can. He doesn't care how big the other man is—if he's @ fighter. That Gunboat Smith. le didn't care whether he was fight- ing 1 Morris or Jess Willard or Jim Fiynn, It was all the same to him. He was a workman. He didi't dodge a fight with Langford-and when he beat Langford in twelve rounds it was before Langford was all in, too. “The Gunner n knocking out—fast—in 1911. je flattened W ter Monahan in. four rounds, Joe La- nam in two rounds, Jack Jeffries in two rounds, Charlie Miller in four rounds, Mexican Pete Everett in two rounds, Charlie Miller in one round, Joe Willus In one round, Kddie Ap- ples In three rounds, Bill Watkins in three rounds. Some of those fellows wero pretty fair fighters, and twice as big as the Gunner. ‘Next year Smith knocked out Bat- ting Brooks, three rounds; Jack Smith, two rounds; Jack "McFarland, six round Hugh McGann, two rounds; Andy Morris, two rounds; George Godfrey, two rounds; Jim Savage, three rounds, and Jim Stew- art in seven rounds. Of this bunch Morris, Sauvage and Stewart were re- garded as possible championsbip con tender Morris had never beer knocked down. Savage had stopped Frank Moran in seven rounds, Stew- art was & clever big fellow weighing ~ pounds stripped when trained ne. “In his last fight that year the Gun- ner whipped Frank Moran tn twenty rounds, No, he didn't knock Moran out. But I'll tell you what happened; I saw it. Moran was a tough big fel- low, full of conceit and sure he was lined ovt for the heavyweight title. He started that fight in fine condition and expecting to knock the skinny looking Gunner off his pins in a few minutes. The Guaner never did look like much, with his hunched up ehoul- ders and his thin legs. SMITH'S RIGHT HAND WAS A ‘ BOMB. "Smith went right after Moran and pressed him hard. In about the sec. ond round, as I remember it, Smith swung that right hand of his and caught Moran on the cheek hone, Bmith had the greatest right hand of then all. He was slow with It, per- haps, but when it landed it was like a bomb. “The Gunner hit Moran so hard that old sorreltop was lifted right off hie feet and thrown through the ropes. He fell on the press table out. side the ring. I remember seeing old Bill Naughton, the famous writer, try- ing to Godge as Moran fell nearly on top of him. The blood was spurting from Moran's nose. I had on a ligh: gray suit and I was carrying an um- brella. I lifted that umbrella in 4 hurry to save my sult, but it was too late, Moran sprinkled everybody around. He was kicking and strug- gling, and everybody near gave him a boost to help him back into the ring. “From that time on Moran ran for hie life. The Gunner ran after him, but you know what chancé a lumber- ing fellow like Smith has to catch « man who is intent on keeping out of his way. Moran lasted the twenty rounds, He didn't make a_ stand against Smith after the time he was knocked out of the ring. "In 1913 the Gunner went right along knocking them out. He had his men terrorized with that right hand wallop, and he had a left that was just a8 bad—particularly for the eae, I always thought his 2-round knockout of Bombardier Wells w: as workmanlike a job as I ever saw ‘Wells towered over Smith and was much heavier, and he was the clever- est heavyweight that ever came here from England. He could hit too; recovered from the beating Wells handed him during the iret two rounds of their fight, “Wells started to knock Smith's off with jabs. Just at the end of ‘the first round the Gunner swung one and missed. la heard that ns { care to be quoted on this partioular subject Have you ever figured out who te the mort remarkable heavy) eeigh! a, THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER i, of His Ring Conquests.
