This is a question that has heen under discussion gince the tragic death of Stanley Ketchel, the unheaten champion, but the prospects for an early decision are much clear er to-day than they have been in some time KEddie McGoorty's re versal of form over in Australia, in which he scored a lightning win over the clever “Dave” Smith, has tended to clear up the middleweight horizon, since it has eliminated the foreigners from further consideration. Despite the contention of many man agers, who have kept the question an open one for husiness purposes, it has resolved itself into a proposition in which it may be said that only six men have withstood the acid test and are to-day legitimate claimante to the coveted honors, Clabby, the San Franelsco whirl wind; Eddie McGoorty, the Wiscon sin wizard and conqueror of Klaus and Smith; Al McCoy, who recently stopped Chip, and Mike Gibbons,the St. Paul stampede—all of these men, along with Billy Murray, the latest find of the Coast fans, who scored a knock-out of leo Houck and he!d Clabby to a draw, are to he taken under consideration when the ques tion of the legitimate claimant to the middleweight is decided. FROM San Francisco the wires are kept warm by the telegraph dis patches exploiting the marvelous achievements of both Clabby and Murray. These two fighters are being proclaimed by the fans of the Coast as the classiest pair that have made their appearance since the good old days of Ketchel, Thomag and Papke. ('labby, although several pounds un derweight for his class, has neverthe less taken on the toughest boys in the business without a whimper, with the result that he has endeared him gelf to the fans to such an extent that he is the popular idol. Not only this, but he has by his sucoessful and per stetent good fighting heaped up suf ficlant evidence 1o gwive himself more than a clear claim for the premier honors. His win over Eddie McGoor ty in Butte, Mont,, is only one of the number of great battlas that he has fought in his strugele to reach the top of the heap. His good rMng genera:- ship and tremendous =taying power have suocessfully offset his lack of weight. and to-day he is entitled to consideration by any claimant to the title in the courltry. a - ~ BLLLY MURRAY, his brother Cali fornian, {8 a fighter of the ag gres#ve, hard-hitting type that is eo uncommon to the fighting game at the present day. His win over Leo Houck, the tricky, heady and hard hitting fighter, earned for him a placeo among the top-notchers,. He also was given a draw In his dbout with Jhmmy C. ibby, ~ Many experts on the coast piok this voungster as the coming champ —in fact, & number have gone so far as to call him a eecond Ketchel Probahly this is because of his great resemblance to Stanley when he squareg off in the ring. The same aggressiveness that we all admired s 0 much in Ketchel stands out all over this boy. His hard driving pow er, as well as the unusual ability of baing able to shift with extreme aud-‘ denness and hit from any position, a fact to which Ketchel attributed more | of his ability as a fighter than nny‘ IF we were to take the reporta that emanate from the camp of Me- Goorty In Australia or from the press reports of his marvelous showing in his last few battles, we would be com pelled to eliminate from further con sideration all other claimants to the title. Fddie, no doubt, has by his lightning finish of Dave Bmith cag tivated the fans of the land of the kangaroo, It can be easily seen that there is no Mike Gibbons or Clabby over there, The Wisoonsin hay, {t must be ad mitted even by the most biased orit- By Tad SUDGE IF YoU ~ SAY RUMMY : n {l5 T™HAT 50- | (\;3::1—70 GIVE SOME> ME JUOGE SCHMALR SAv b HMNE !

His walloping of Frank Klaus, the self proclaimed champion, is a thing that has not been forgotten by the fans, while his showing against Pat Brad ley and Rattling Levinsky can not be sald to be anything that he would be proud of, nevertheless he did not suf fer defeat. In fact, the only battle that may be said to reflact against his glory was the decision rendered against him in the (‘labhyqenmun-(er. His decisive win over Smith in Australla, ilf we are to belleve the reports of the battles, shows that he has regained some of his lost aggres siveness and boosted his stock for the major honors. W - MIKE GIBBONS, the St. Paul scrapper, is a man who, llke Clabby, lacks a little in welght for his class, but, nevertheless, put up about as classy a fight as any man in the country. His last two starts in New York lacked somewhat of the aggres siveness that he displayed on his pre vious visits. It is sald that poor physical condition was accountable for his failure to make good on these occasions, .y * AL M'COY, the latest sensation in the middlewelght ranks, must be given a place among the first five, due to his quick victory over George Chip, the sensational middleweight from Pittsburg, Before his defeat at the hands of McCoy, Chip was rated as the middleweight champion by many critics, and McCoy’s victory over him certainly entitles him to a high position among the men of his division. Not much is known of this Mec- Coy party, but then no one can go behind results, McCoy will have to be seen in a couple more real fights before fans will know just how good he is. ’ “Pop" Anson to Show At Forsyth Theater Hugh Cerdoza, manager of the For . relv yire fro Tk R P 4 £ e O m':g’o;";:;nna is known to nearly o’— e2P fom " auy vasebail players {iving, o was In Atlanta week on a T. loofil visi Geo.

It is my hope and expectation to defeat all the white hopes in the heavyweight divi gion, thch includes Gunboat Smith, and then take a trip to Paris and fight, the winner of the Frank Moran- Jack Johnson bout.” The above statement proves how confident George Rodel's opponent at the Orpheum Theater next Tuesday night is of beating all the heavies in the game to-day. Willard {® not un derestimating this Rodel party, as he has already fought him on two occa sions and is not looking for anything soft Tuesday night. - L o RODE'L {s one of the toughest heav fes in the game and has fought some of the best men in this coun try. The Boer fought Gunboat Smith in New York a few months ago and was given a newspaper decision over the Gunner. Ever since that fight Rodel has been challenging Smith, but the latter has always made it his business to dodge the South African. According to Jimmy Johnston, the Boer's manager, Rodel insisted on meeting Willard here only after he was promised a match with Smith during Shriners’' week if he won over Tom Jones' protege. Lou (Castro, who {s promoting Tuesday’s bout, s dick ering with Smith and feels certain that he can land the' match, - . . WIY.LARD is also after the Gunner, as he realizes that a. victory over Rodel and Smith here would force Johnson or Moran to meet him. Willard is after clear claim to the heavyweight crown and has asked Tom Jones to be sure and get Smith if ha whips the Roer The fact that these heavyweights have been before the public for the past thres years means that local fans are practically assured of seeing a rattl{ scrap. Both have been test ed lnr{hu.ve been found to have the stuff that makes rea] fighters. OF‘ the two, Willard appears to be the cleverer, while Rodel {s the harder puncher. A clever fellow and & slugger nearly always put up a corking scrap, and if past reputation counts for anything they should cer tainly make the fur fly when they clash, Lou Castro's promise to bring Smith or Flynn here to meet the win ner has added much interest to the fray. Rodel and Willard have both fought Smith before and each thinks he can beat the Gunper if given an other chance, Willard lost to Smith in a flerce twenty-round battle at San Fran cisco, although he has always claimed that he was robbed of the decision. The late Bllly Naughton also shared the Cowboy's belief that he was enti tled to an even break. Tom Jones has heen after Bmith ever since their last bout, but the Gunner has never cared to talk busi ness with Mr. Jones when Willard's name was brought up. As Rodel claims a victory over Smith, these pair of heavies surely appear to be evenly matched. - . . RHDEL and his manager, Jimmy Johnson, are expected in Atlanta to-morrow, while Willard is expected some time to-day. Rodel will prob ably do his training at the Atlanta Business Men's gymnasium.
