SMITH'S PUNCH A REALITY
"Whilo Pelkey'o Are Only a Suspicion
in Comparison.
SUCH IS SUMMARY OF FIGHT
Gonboat R Likely Candidate In

nv w. w. sAuniiTON.
BAN FRANCISCO, Jan. lO.-Bome one
called tho Ounboat Smith-Arthur Pelkey
fight the battle of the righthanders, and
I guess that's Just what It was.
Incidentally, through the reputation
each of the men had acquired for wield,
lng a deadly right, the contest proved a
highly Interesting study.
But when It was all orcr, Jutn Blckley's
ante-contest "-rks were ns goldon
grains of wire. :
"Pclkey's pumh Is only a suspicion;
Gunboat's Is a reality."
That Is what Jum said, and. as events
proved, he hit the bull's-eye of truth
squarely In the center of the Innermost
ring.
It was Tommy Burns who gave us the
Idea, that Arthur Telkey was a savage
smasher with the right. He was aided
and abetted by Pelkeys other sparring
partners, and, for that matter, appear
once s favored the claims made In that
particular respect.
In his practlco boxing relkcy hnnded
out right body blows that had all the
marks of hurtful punches. Ho raised on
his toes as he threw them, and It was I
quite common ror tno fellow on the rn-
i
-reiving cnu 10 gruni ana iook appeal
ingly at the muscular Canadian.
Probably the most eloquent testimony
' to Arthur's vaunted punching power wos
forthcoming when Tommy Burns sparred
with him before the Olympic club mem
bors. Tommy, after taking one of Ar
thur's short-rib pokes Just bellowed In a
jmlnor key and shook his head, deprccat
Ingly, as though saying, "For the love
of Mike, tono 'cm down."
Kxpectct! Ills Itrsults.
When Gunboat and Arthur stood forth
to do battle at Daly City on Now Year's
day, the thought uppermost In tho minds
of the watchers was that tho first solid
right-hander that landed would have a
signal Influenco on tho result of tho bout.
Maybe Gunboat felt that way about It,
too, for after tho trifle of pecking and
flirting which marks the beginning of so
many glove encounters, he cut loose with
a right-hand sweep that would havo lifted
Arthur across the ropes If It had con
nected. Pelkey was under It like o flash and
Jumped closo with a braco of lifting
punches that caught the Gunner Just
above the waist line.
"By heck this Is getting Interesting,"
said one of the first nfghters. "If Polity
sends In mn,ny like these, he'll break
that slim wain ted follow in two."
Tho close fighting was of such a
character for about five rounds that
Pelky had no difficulty In gottlng home
with his right rip. But Is dawned on tho
spectators presently that the blows were
not as damaging as they appeared to be.
The Gunner, lean coupled and all as
lie Is, not only took them without
flinching, but fought baclt with spirit
and acted generally like a man who was
not troubled with thought of an Impend
ing xnocKout
Pelker Was OverMIIed.
Then the crowds saw things as they
were. They recognised that Pelkey's right
had been over-billed, and they wondered
how long It would be betore the Gunner
got to work with his 'old reliable."
Just for a few seconds, along about the
eleventh round, Pelkwy oreated a fresh
suspicion by outtlne; loose with some
hard rights, which found lodgement be
tween the ear and chin, but it was soon
seen that these wire as harmless as Ws
alleged rlb-bande'.'
They were what a tennis player might
call lob hits and while they mode quite
a noise, they had literally no sting.
It was Interesting to watch the Gun
ner's confidence Increasing while Felkey's
oozed. Smith became brisk and Felkey
got loggy. But for quite a while the
Gunner could not find the Jaw with a
full sweeping right He shortened his
right and clipped and (shopped with It
both on body and head and ho wore
Pelkey down gradually.
It was not until the fifteenth round
had started that Gunboat scored his
first dean long range right, "When he
d'd. Pelkey fell under the ropes and an
other rli'ht snap, when he arose, caused
him to tslcc down his championship
tfen.
Mny M-ct Jolinsnn.
There Is a Gunbcat Smith-Jack Johnson
match looming up, sure as you're born,
and It Is already hinted that Promoter
O.ffroth will hove something to do with
It. It would not surprlso the writer If
Die event took precedenco of all matches
that Johnson may have committed him
self to.
And when It takes place, I will make
bold to say that Johnson will not be a
top-heavy favor'te. If needed he Is mado
first choice nt all.
As an astute sport remarked, the John
son of the present iiav Is barely a
roovln picture of the Johnson that won
from Tommv Hums mid Jeffries, while
the Gunner Is a husky young heavy,
who has learned his trade In the school
ff exrerlcnrn and who has grafted onto
Tits natural hlttlnn powers practical Ideas
of measuring nhd timing.

NEW YORK, Jan. lO.-Connlc Mack of
the Athletics and John McClrnw of the
Giants, as widely separated In tempera
ment and In their managerial methods
as the north and south poles, "rank ns
the greatest leaders In base bnll history
But which Is tho greater?
It's a natural question that follows such
a situation, ami It's a question that at
first seems hard to answer. Yet. after
studying ' tho , records of both men, Jt
seems that tho honor of being the great
est loader must rightly be given to Me
G raw.
This statement Is nfado In face of the
fact that Mack has won as many pen
nants flvo In number as has llcGraw
and that Mtick has crabbed three. wnrld
series championships In four starts, while '
McGraw has won but once In four start.
The succcis of the Athletics has bee
due mainly to thn ability of the players
tho success of the Giants has been due
mainly to the wonderfully uncanny power
of McGraw to weld n hunch of mediocre .
bull players Into a pennant-winning com- '
blnatlon. '
In 1013 Mack won tho Amcrienn league '
pennant because his team as a whole 1
ranked as not only tho best In that J
league, but the best In the world. With
McGraw It was different. He entered th i
race In the spring of 1913 with only one '
reliable, brnlny pitcher tho wonderful
Mathewson and with n team that, on 1
paper and In nctunl natural strength,
ranked below throe other tenmo'ln the ,
National league.
Won by Willi MnrRln.
Tot tho Giants won the petulant by a
wldo margin. Why? The answer If,
McGraw! He took his ordinary, ma
chanlcal ball players and mado them Into
a machine. Then he oiled tho machine
with his own wonderful fighting spirit,
supplied tho brains that his men luckod,
thought for them, nctcd for them and
did about everything but piny the gamo
for them.
With nny other manager but McGraw
nt th9 helm the Giants never would have
been In the raro last year. When the
team crumpled up early In the summer
and seemed to havo gone to pieces ut
terly, other managers would havo felt
that there was no chance to finish In the
lead. But McGraw was different. He
nover gave In and ho never let his men
quit Tho moro they were pummelled
and pounded around by their rivals, tho
faster ho sent them back nt their oppo.
nents.
Tho situation In 1913 was no excceptlon
to what It has been in other years. Fato
seems to have ruled that each year
Mack Is to have a wonderful galaxy of
brainy players, and that McGraw Is to
have nothing but mechanical men.
Look over tho list of tho men, who
havo played on the Giant teams since
McGraw took chargo back In 1993, except'
Ing Mathowson, thore never has boon ono
man on tho Qlant roster, who compared
In brains with Eddie Collins, Danny
Murphy, Harry Davis and tho other
heady men that Mack has had.
Macks Noted for Bruins.
Mack started In the American leagues
with a team noted for its brains. And
It seems that each year when some star
has dropped from the Athletla firma
ment another has risen to take his place.
Always on tho Athletlo's roster havo
been men of brains, men who could do
their own thinking, who could plan their
own actions.
In McGraw's case he has had under
him year after year, only mon who were
mechanical baso ball stars, with Mathew
son, tho exception, ot course. .Yet he
has taken these men, lent thorn some
ot his own brains, aroused their latent
fighting blood and has kept the Giants
at or around the top 'for ten years.
How many will dlsputo us when we
say that Mack, at the head of tho WIS
Giants, wound have breezed homo a- win
ner T Mack would havo been a failure
as manager of the Giants, and would
be a failure as the manager of any team
numbering on Its .roster men ot such
calibre as the present day Giants.
The Giants must be driven, nfit led.
Mack con lead, but he can't drive. Tho
Giants must be nagged, scolded, abused,
almost maltreated to get to do tholr
work and to keep them keyed up to the
highest tension. Cap anyone who knows
Mack, kindly, gentle, fatherly Muck,
Imagine him driving his players, abusing
them, calling them names and threaten
ing them with everything short of assas
sination?

Theso three American cracks and perhaps

that they aro capablo of' doing It.
But It Mack adopted the same tactics
with the Giants, what a sorry spoctado
would be presented. Without McGraw on
tho coaching lines, shouting orders, map
ping out their plan of battlo, tho Giants
nro helplessly at sea. They play as men
In a dazoj as men without the power to
think or to act Intelligently.
Mack nnd McGraw arc alike In ono re
spect. Both aro believers in tho theory
ot keeping promising recruits on tho
bench for ono season, or more, It neces
sary, before putting them In the gome
rogularly. Mack kept Collins under
cover for nearly two years, while the
Philadelphia fans wondered -Why he clut
tered up his pay roll Instead ot farming
out the collegian. Mack's wisdom soon
becamo apparent. Collins, on tha bench,
watching tho veteruns perform, learned
more about the major league game in
two years than he would have learned
In twenty years In tho minors.
McGraw kopt Marquard on the pay roll
for two years, while tho Giant fans were
dubbing tho Itube "a $11,000 lemon."
They figured Marquard was a bloomer.
But McGraw figured that he merely was
blooming, and that some day he'd rise
up In his full bloom and look like the
rarest flower in the major leagues.
Jennings nnd Chnnoe Next.
Banking next to McGraw and Mack as
successful managers, are Honry Jennings
of tho Tigers and Frank Chance, former
Cub manager, now leader ot tho New
York Yankees. Chance resembles Mc
Graw in temperament and In mothod. He
is a driver, a man who Is feared by his
players. No man ever worked under
Chance to lovo him as tho Mackltes love
their leader. Yot Chance drove his . men
to the top of the National league in 1905,
1907, 1906 and WW, and annexed three
world series titles.
Jennings Is another type. He Is a
drlvor, yot he tempers his driving -with
words of kindness. Ho makes his charges
realize that ho Is boss, and what he says
must go. But his men do not fear him.
They know that this rcdheadcd, nervous,
euergetla Irishman Is tholr friend, and
that although he is a stem task master,
ho appreciates good work and always
Is ready to reward It. .
Jennings' skill as a leader has been
tested perhaps moro than has that of
the other three.. Time and again there
has been Internal dissensions In the Tiger
ranks. Jealousy caused squabbles that
would havo disrupted a ball .team with
only an ordinary manager. . put Jen
nings proved himself a diplomat as well
as a manager. He mado the warring'
players patch up their,' differences; he
cemented breaches tlvat seemed almost
beyond qementlng, and he restored the
Tiger gang to a peaceful,' happy family
after a fiercely contested feud.

Question.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10. That the riarked
progress mode in all forms of sport since
tho revival of the Olympic games in
1S9, and mainly brought about through
the efforts of Baron Do Coubertln, tho
Frenchman, who, in 1891 organized' the In
ternational Olympic committee, promises
to greatly aid In bringing about universal
peace among tha nations of the world, is
becoming more marked each year.
This is evidenced by the wonderful
strides of the continental nations, most
of which aro, In various sports, out
stripping England, whose citizens were,
up to a generation or so ago, the lead
ers In most of tho games taken up by
white men.
It ,was England and Its athletla al
lies, Ireland and Scotland, which pro
duced the type of men whose feats of
strength, agility and speed were the pro
totypes of those champions of the old
games In Greece, but It remained for the
United States to dim the "stars" of Eng
land, with" the result that since 1S3C,
when England's champions were totally
eclipsed In tho historical athletic series
at Manhattan Field, John Bull's standing
In the world of competitive sport has
been none too firm.
From that time when Young America
took up track and field games, the cry
ot "Westward tho march of athletio em
pire takes Its way." has been the slogan,
to the end that the United States stands
pre-eminent In many fields ot sport.
The competitive fever spread across the
whole of Yankee land and now nearly
all tho sections of the country contribute
champions at ono sport or another, all
anxious and willing, when tho time
arises, to take up tho cudgels of com
petition In behalf of Uncle Sam and with
tho view of aiding In 'the sustaining ot
his position at the top of the list among
the nations ot tho world.

this is what haa" happened. Today foot

may reasonably bo expected from Russia
at an early date.
"Russia's foot ball strength, however,
has escaped notice, and Judged by re
sults It certainly takes a very poor place
among the game-playing nations. It made
the poorest appearance of all the teams
at Stockholm, and an English amatour
foot ball eleven which visited St Peters
burg four years ago In the course of three
matches collected some thirty points.
This does not seem an encouraging
lecture, but n the last three years as
sociation foot ball has made astonishing
progress in Russia, Moscow and St
Petersburg alone can count about 200
clubs betwen them, while the other great
towns, such as Khartoff, Kletf, RIJa and
Odessa, are rapidly augmenting their
strength.
Considered Game Barbarous.
"Ten years ago the rector of Moscow
university considered foot ball a gamo for
'barbarians and Englishmen.' Today the
Russian student Is As ardent a student
of the gamo as his Oxford or Cambridge
contemporaries.
"More Interesting still Is the develop
ment of tho game In the great Russian
mills and factories. By far the larger
part of the resident English colony in
Russia is engaged in the cotton trade.
These Englishmen, for the -most part,
hall from Yorkshire and Lancashire, and
they have Introduced foot ball to the
Russian moujtk with astonishing results.
"In the army, too, the game has mado
rapid strides. As recently as last year a
Russian officer sometimes would not take
off his uniform even to engago In a game
of tennis. Now the czar's ukase has
changed all this? In a recent number of
th,e Russky Sport there were photographs
of fcot ball in the army, and readers saw
the spectacle, truly astonishing for Rus
sians, ot Russian officers In shirt and
knickers charging and being charged by
their own Tommies In a gamo of foot
ball.
"Moscow nnd St. Petersburg are the
great foot ball centers, and have each
their own central committee, for the con
trol of the gamo In their respective dis
tricts. Over these is the all-Russian foot
ball league, which chooses the players
for tho International matches. Then there
Is the Olympic council, presided over by
Genoral Voyekoff, the official head of
the new department of sport.
Countrymen Now Interested.
"The new Olympic council, too, has this
year organized meetings on tho Olympic
model all over Russia. Talent Is eagerly
bought and Russia may confidently be
expected to take a much more prominent
place at, the next Olympic games. Of
course, Russia has still much to learn.
More'espec'ally Is this truo In regard to
organization, lack of which Is an old Rus
sian falling, and. already there aro omi
nous signs of. disaster In the management
of Russian foot ball.
"Crowds of spectators, sometimes 10,000,
turn out every Sunday to watch the
league games, and the question ot finance
Is becoming Important. There Is a very

at the national regatta last August was
truly a wonderful hit of rowing, follow
ers of tho sport are unanimous on the
point that everything In connection with
tho series nnlpd to Insignificance along
side tho wonderful showing made by tho
lads from the northwest, who forced tho
admission from every one when they
shoved their boats to the fore In the
senior races and almost made their oppo
nents look llko novices.
It was In that regatta that the Duluth
oarsmen won the following events: Inter
mediate fours. Intermediate eights, senior j
fours and senior eights.
The remarkable part of this perform
ance Is that four men rowed "through" In
each race, an unprecedented feat In the ,
senior eights Duluth had two crew en
tered, and the intermediate crew defeated
the senior by half a length, with the lot-.
ter In turn a scant dozen lengths ahead of
the New York Athletic club crow. Detroit
and Boston were also represented.
A glance at tho summary of tho regatta,
reveals the fact that thn Duluth oarsmen
won every sweep event In tho series, with '
the exception of the International senior
four, In which they did not start. The
winners of that race, the Argonaut Row
ing club, was afterward defeated by Du
luth In the national senior fours.
Previous to the national regatta Duluth
won five races at the northwestern re
gatta, held at St Paul In July, thus mak
ing a total of nine races entered and nlno t
races won for the season of 1913. Last
season's victory In the Intermediate eights
at the national series was the second for
Duluth, ns Hp representatives Won at Pe
oria In 1912. .breaking the world's record.

On Wednesday, January 14, the tourna

for tho prompt playing of delayed and
postponed games. In next Sunday's is
sue contestants who have not played
all their games will be paired and a date
assigned for the games. The committee
Is desirous of consulting the convenience
of players, and requests them to call at
the club at once and advise what timo
will be most suitable.
Chess columns these days are loud In
praise of Alain C. Whlto's latest books,
"White to Play," and "Loyd and His
Chess Problems." The former Is a col
lection of 100 problems which are suro
to please the problem "fan," and the
latter Is a more pretentious work. In
which the reader Is made thoroughly
acquainted with the genius of America's
greatest problem builder. It Is the com
pletest text book on problems to bo
found and is worthy of both White and
Loyd. When distributing copies of these
books to his friends, Mr. White remem

The Pittsburgh Leader of December
28 draws an Interesting comparison be
tween Lasker and Capablanca. it the
Dobrusky Chess club, Prague Lasker re
cently won ten games, drew ten and lost
five In a simultaneous exhibition, and
Capablanca, at the same club, against
equally strong players, won seventeen,
drew eleven and lost eight games In less
than five and one-half hours. This com
parison Is quite favorable to Capablanca,
but It should be remembered that the
quick-witted Cuban Is at his best In
simultaneous play, and might not appear
to such advantage In a championship
contest.
