Virtually hangs on the verdict. It Is Pitt's last hard game, as State on Thanks

Philadelphia Will Be Boxing Center of U. S. When Sew York Closes
NEXT Thursday night boxing will Vie ushered out of New York. The legal bars
will be put up and matchmakers, promoters, managers and boxers art pre
paring for the long Journey far, far away. Thero will bo a steady stream "f
flstlc lights pouring out of New York, and from now on the alleged "big" bouts
Will bo hell elsewhere. No doubt many of the boxeis will come to Philadelphia
and the gimo will thrhc here during the winter. Many will train In New York
and fill engagements hero and In New ICngland. and ptrhnps some Gotham pro
moters will run over occasionally to put on a big bout In Philadelphia. This should
be stopped Immediately, for If the promoters ruined th game in New York, what
Vould they do to It here'' ,
Tho closing of tho game In New York was duo to the "public bo hanged'
aplrlt shown by the promoters. They felt that they were conferring a favor on
the boxing fans by putting on tho shows and treated the spectators like a bunch
of cattle. A man who purchased a reserved seat would liud somo else In It and
there was no chance to get him out. The main idea was In make as much money
aa possible and make the public like It. Special shows. were advertised and those
Who paid fabulous prices for tickets usually weie disappointed. One night
Benny Leonard, Freddy Welsh, .Johnny Dundee and Patsy ('line were on the same
bill, but the first two were unable to appear because of broken hands or the
email house or something. The public was beautifully stung and there was no
redress. Then tho scandal connected with tho P.oxlng Commission helped the
cause along nnd tho only thing left to do was to slop boxing entirely.

Jack Brilion Will Give Johnny Tillman a Hard Baltic
fT IS seldom that a substitute who appears on the scene at the lust mlnuln
attracts wide attention, but when It was announced that .lack Hrltton. former
welterweight ohHtnploii, had been selected lo opposn Johnny Tillman iu tho
""Wind-up at tho Olympla A. A. next Monday night the boxing fans began lo sit
up and tako notice. Tillman originally was scheduled lo meet Stevo I.atzo, of
Hazleton. Now Steve Is a pretty fair boxer with a kick In either hand, but lie
hasn't startled tho world with his work. He always makes a good showing, but
his name doesn't mean much when tacked to the end of a tight ca.d. lliillou,
.on the other mitt, la known from coast to coast anil Is one of the few boxers who
made Ucnny Leonard extend himself to win. In other word.i. Itrittoii, who up
to a few months ago was welterweight champion of the world, is a class;, per
former, .lack lost bis crown lo Ted Lewis In Ohio In it twenty-round decision
battle.
Tho substitute, If he can be icgarded asvsuch, brings with him one of tho
best managers In the business. It Is none oilier than Ijii Morgan, the man who
gets more work for his stable than any one else. ,m also manages Hauling
Lovlnsky. and tho Battler lias done everything but tight double-headers. It is
not unusual to teo him In tho ring four and live times a week, and for a time
Brltton was kept Just as busy. Kor somo reason or other Morgan has not put on
his net In Philadelphia, and this looks like the opening wedge.
Tillman Is a greatly Improved boxer. Since his return from the Webt he sui
prised every one by defeating Charley White on two different occasions, and iu
the battle at Khibo Park had the Chicago mauler on the verge of a knockout.
Muggsy Taylor his manager, has announced that Leonard and Tillman, If .lolinuj
la. successful with Iliitluu on Monday ulghl, will clash In SI. Paul on- the night
of December S.
YOUNCS MAHONKV, ot Hazleton, looks like a coming top-notchcr and
will meet Harry Tracy in the senilwlud-up. 1'rankle McManus. one of
Bobby Gunnis's battlers, who stopped Bert Spencer recently, will tnko on
Stanley Willis, of Detroit Taking It all In all, the show looks good and
should bo well uttendeil.

Doesn't that about dope out the rebuttal?
Nerve and Ntrvcs
"This war," observes a leading comrnen.
lator, "Is a matter of liervo and nerves."
Most competitions are. save where one
side Is totally outclassed by the other. An!
there have been any number of entries
who had nerve enough, us nerve Is under
stood, but whose nerves became too fraz
zled to stand tho long siege.
In the recent world scries tho Olants hd
nerve enough But their iswvous system
was not properly attuned.
The Boston lied Sox In world series war
fare were the best examples of nerves tin
der control the last deendo has shown,
A high-strung contender may have any
n mount of nerve. But his nerves, uncon
trolled, may beat him.
This war Is undoubtedly a matter of
nervo nnd nerve There will be more than
siilliclent nerve shown by troops at the
front. The deciding factor may be the
nerves of the people back of the lines.
A Trifle Different
"How Is it," comes a query, "that you
oppose any championship talk for football
this fall and yet advocate post-season
games?'
Any inst-seasoii game that may brine
lit from .JBO.non to JGO.000. or even a less
amount, for an army equipment fund or
other suitable war uses Is quite a different
matter from a post-season game played for
a championship.
It Is Just as well to remember that the
result lasts longer iu I be record than the
way. It was obtained.
Shakespeare had the ultimate philosophy
"Ho that dies pays all debts."
