NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-There Is a lot of

la .conducted purely on a commercial j nana raucm, owing w um u,
baals. but onca In a long while there ap
pear a fighter wno oon me giovra oicijr
for the phyalcal benefit to be derived
therefrom.
We are about to expose aa uch a man
who rank hlgh-exceedlngly high In the
vantage enjoyed by the left-handed bat'
tera.
It la pointed out that a left-handled
batter ought to hit from fifteen to forty
point ahead of the right-handed batter
each aeaann, because hla position at tho
reln game. Ho la acknowledged the peer1 Plato glvea him at leaat a two-yard edge
of pugilist In two division. In fact, he
la rated the cleverest boxer In the game
today.. We refer to none other than
Michael Gibbons, affectionately termed
the "St. Paul Wlaard," "Ohoat." "Fhan
tom" and other thlnga of the myatle
realm.
It undoubtedly cornea aa a aurprlae to
be Informed that Mike Glbbone la not In
the game for the money he can extract
from the gullllble public by exhibiting a
pair of pad-encaed glovee In the ring.
Kevertheleaa, Oibbona haa ahown that he
la aot a "money fighter.' That probably
aeeovnl for hla many montha of pa
alveneaa during the year.
Oibbona la auch a claaiy performer that
he can get engagements aa often aa once
a week, year In and year out. He can
command sums of from $1,000 to $10,000 a
fight, according to the prowesa of hla op
ponent. Tet he does not engage In more
than half a dozen fights during the sea-
- ' ' . .
Reveal Trae ftratlaaeat.
It was not until the other day that
Oibbona revealed hla true sentiments re
garding hla ring work. He received aa
offer of 1:5.000 from Australia to engage
In three fights In the Antipodes. Yet he
turned down the proposition with the la
conic cablegram: 'Can't accept; engage
ments at home prevent." .
Dissecting this cablegram, one Is led to
believe that Olbbons haa so many flghta
scheduled In this country that he cannot
afford to make a trip to the other aide of
the world and clean up a tidy sum. Far
from It, Gibbons really meant "home."
The underlying cause of Gibbons' re
fusal Is that he la a home-loving man.
He cares more for hla wrfe and their two
"kiddle" than he does for the rfng. To
Journey all the way to Australia would
be to Inconvenience the tittle family; and,
rather than break tip house, Oibbona has
flatly apurned a neat little fortune.
So. If any of the boxing promoter of
theea t'nlted Bute do not receive fa
vorable answer when offering Oibbona
huge iumi to appear, in the ring, they
will know the reason for this. They will
know that he prefers to sit at the fireside
and spar off with the tykes than ha doc
to endariger a happy father' face to the
unrelenting blow of a merclles oppon
ent Oatclaaaea All.
The queer part of It all I that Oibbona
ao. far outclasses anyone In the welter
weight and middleweight dlvlalon that
he could go through a aoora of eonteata
without receiving even a scratch. Tat
he ahuns It all to enjoy domestic life.
Since the Invasion of Australia by
.American fighters there ha been an
everlasting demand on tha part of the
Antipodes enthusiasts to sea Oibbona In
action. Through tha public pre they
had learned that Gibbon wa a maater
boxer, and that he stood at the head of
both the welter and middleweight clasaea.
But the Australians are doomed to disap
pointment In more waya than one.
rirst, Olbbons will not fight In that
faraway land; aecondly, there will be a
rapid axodua of Yankee "pugs" from the
Antipodes within two week. Jeff Smith
and Harry Stone have arrived home,
while Jimmy Clabby, Eddie McGoorty,
Toung Shugrue. Mllburn Baylor and Joe
Welling wUl leave for these shores In a
fortnight.
Clabby and McGoorty have fulfilled
tVieir contract with "Snowy" Baker, and
will fight no mora there this trip. Hhu
grue, Baylor and Welling each haa a fight
en hla hands before they can get away,
and Clabby and McGoorty are lust watt
ing for their comrades to pack up.

often is the difference between a hit and
an out.
The right-handed man stands at the ttf
side of the plate, from the first buee di
rection. When he swings the exertion
pull his body farther away from the
plate and shifts him In the direction of
third base. Then he must recover hlmsalf
from the swing, reverse his direction, and
race over the plate on hi way to flr.it.
With the port ld clubber It different

In running for first he does not have to
recover himself, a doc the right-handed
batter, but goe straight iilong In the
direction of the awing of his body.
It 1 pointed out that a left-handed bat
ter ought to get at least twenty mare
hit each season than a right-handed per
aon of equal ability, simply because the
left-handed batter haa to travel about
two yards less thnn the right-handed bat
ter. This argument undoubtedly la true
because there are scores of times 'each
season when players who have bunted or
driven grounder to the Infield are beaten
by a stride.
Theory Is Chanared.
They've shot a lot of hole this year
Into the old theory that It la dangerou
to work a racing horse In hi 4-year-old
form. The season still la young, yet
more than a doxen trotter and pacer
that were foaled In 1T10 have gone to rec
ord mark this year, without any appar
ent Injury to health.
Lord Brussels went a mile In IM early
In June on the Ixlngton track making
the first "under 8:10 mark" for trotter
this year. He la a 4-year-old. Peter
Pearl, t.mi: Earlwood I. MM4, and
J. D. J:14H, are other trotters who
have dons some fine work so far, and all
of thorn will be good purse winners.
Single O., a 4-year-old pacor, leads that
class In record performance for the year.
This horaa stepped three heat In 2:0K,
2-M and 2:1014 In one of the early De
troit raca meets, thereby hanging up a
record for 4-year-old pacers. Blnce then
Blngls O haa been stepping around the
2:10 mark and looks like one of the sea
son's real sensations. Present Quran,
1:11, and I ledger, MC', also have per
formed In creditable form.
Tha eyes of the trotting world Just
now are focused on William, a 8-year-old
pacer, who already has stepped a mile In
1:06. Those who have seen htm say he
will prove to be aver a faster horse than
Dan Patch, 1:6614. and that unless he Buf
fers soma injury he will hang up new
records each year,
William, early In June, stepped a mile
In I:11H, taking It easy for the first half,
going along In :0WA. and then showing a
wonderful burst of speed that sent him
along for the last half In 1:03 and the last
quarter in 29H
Tha wonderful growth In tha popularity
of the golfing game ho started agita
tions In practically every city of else In
the United States for links In the public
parka Many of tha larger cities already
have one or two course. Others will be
laid out this year and next, while in the
smaller cities It Is certain that at leaat
one courae of nine hole will be laid out
by the city and be eupported by the
municipality.
Golfer Doable.
The golfing, clan almost ha doubled In
lie In tha last year, and It I estimated
that there are now at teast 6,000,000 golf-
era In tha t'nlted States. The moat en
thuaUvatio golfing person declare that In
five yeara more the greatest majority o
tha adult population of thl country will
be playing golf during their odd moments.
The Investment In golf courses, club
houses and paraphernalia Is now esti
mated at something Ilk 1500,000,000.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8. Hero are three ball players who
have stunk to big league ball despite all of the dope as
.to what they were going to do. It was aid that Eddie
Colling wag flirting with the Feds, but he wound up by
signing with the Athletics for three years. Jeff Tesreau
was alleged to have conducted negotiations with the in

In. 611m himself probably thought that he never woud
play another game of ball with the Yanks or any other
major league team. Slim went to ah osteopath, how
ever, and recovered so well that he is not only back on
the job with his old team, but he has developed to be the
pitching sensation of the year.

American Pollowera of Pngtltstlo
Boat Inelloed to Demand that
Chargea Be Ram Dawa
by tha Committer.
NEW YORK, Aug. 8. Btorle of double
crossing and frameups continue to reach
these chore from Kurope, and the Im
pression grow dully that the recent bat
tle between Jack Johnson and frank
Moran furnished the worst blow that the
boxing game ha differed In aoma year.
That all connected with the affair were
on mot friondly term before the bout
wa taged wa evident through the
method of arranging the bout That all
have !nre had a falling out I equally
certain from the numeroua charge and
counter charge that are flying back and
forth.
Three different versions of Xhm alleged
fake have come to these shore. Tha
first, which wa announced for the oaten-
slbls purpose of proving that Moran had
done hi best against the negro, waa the
story of a double cross. It wa to the
effect that Johnaon had Instated on
Moran being "knocked out" by him In
the eighth round before he would agree
to a match with the Plttsburgher. Then
came the denial from Johnson, with the
counter charge that he had to make an
agreement whereby Moran would be al
lowed to atay the entire twenty round.
Johnson declared he went that far for
tha sake of getting the match and ap
parently he wishes It understood that he
lived tip to hi agreement rather than re
sort to the double cross.
Not nmnllmraUrr to arpeatler.
The latest story of th peculiar deal
la the most Interesting of all and It I in
no way complimentary to George Car
pontler; the French heavyweight, who
refereed. Thl story ha It that an ar
rangement had been tnado with Carpen
tier whereby he waa to award the de
cision to Moran if the latter waa able to
make any kind of a showing by outboxlng
Johnaon even In . a ' few of the round.
But Moran wa ao completely outclaseed
that to think of giving htm the decision
would be almost, criminal. There waa
nothing for Carpentter to do, a a result
of Moran' miserable ahowing, than to
give the decision to Johnson. 80 a well
laid plan fell through, according to -re
port.
In view of the ugly chargea and coun
tercharge that gre being hurled back and
forth, follower of boxing on thl aide' of
the 1 Atlantic are wondering what th
French Federation de Boxe la going to
do about' the matter. A full Investigation
(hould be -Interesting In view of all the
chargea being made, and some long sus
pension, If the charge should be proved
true, would b,e a moat healthful tonic for
the boxing game. The New York state
commission ha a . working arrangement
with the-French authorities to recognise
11 penalties, and any auHpenalona meted
A good way to spend your noon hour Is
to play chess or checker at the Omaha
Clies and Checker club. The due are a
trifle: the pastime I a clean on and will
benefit you mentally and morally; and
th location of the club 1 convenient, be

block. Fifteenth and Douglas street.
The best player In the club will be de
lighted to teach you the game of chess If
you are not an expert, or to beat you at
it If you are.
. Latest reports from Mannheim are to
th effect that Marshall . moved up Into
fourth place In the International Chess
Masters' tournament by defeating the
Austrian, Rett, In the seventh round.
Marshall I now only one point behind the

be out of ell proportion, and the players
will consequently take no great pain to
preserve them. Cart Germany produce a
military Dasker? Or will France win on
the battlefield laurels It ha never won
across the board? '
Presumably the Lasker-Rubinstein
match will be Indefinitely postponed.
Either or both of these master may be

pearing In. last Sunday's isaue.
Sunday, August , 1914.

Johnson I now under th ban there and
It would not be a bad thing to Include
Moran, Carpentter and all other Iden
tified with a frumeup. If there wa one,
In the aame category.
Ia a Persllsr Llarkt. ' .
Th connection of Carpentier with a
plan to frame Johnson put the new
champion of the white heavyweight In
a peculiar light. If It I untrue It la do
ing a grave Injustice and he should see
that the fight la thoroughly Investigated.
He I a youngster with a remarkable past
for one of 111 year and the proapect of
an even more remarkable ' future. It he
la Inclined to pull a trick such as he la
charged . with agreeing to do, hi great
popularity wUl not last , long and the
game will suffer through hi holding uch
an Important place In the sport.
Borne of the men Identified with the
staging of the tecent Johnaon-Moran bout
are likewise Identified with the federa
tion w hich ha control c4 the boxing game
In France. On thl account an Investiga
tion might not be conducted in the
thorough manner that a case of this kind
demands, but often an. Investigation
which 1 started for the purpose of bring
Ing the whitewash brush Into play reachea
a point - whereby the brush cannot be
used. For this reason any sort of a
probe into the affair might prove bene
ficial. . It la about time these
fake were thoroughly Investigated, and
there 'la no time like the present to hand
th fakers ' some medicine that wilt b
effective.
