OLD TIMER DOWN.
Gibbons, Once Prominent Pugilist, oc-
cupies Hospital Cot.

Austin Gibbons, one-time lightweight
champion of England and one of the clev-
crest lightweight fighters OF his day, is
slowly ~succumbing to that dreaded dis
ease. consumption. After a meteoric career
In which Gibbons earned a pile of money
the young man is without a penny, and
but for the influence of a few warm friends
would now be without the last comforts
necessary for a man In his condition. Glib
bons Is well known in this city and ne
has often been seen In the ring here when
fighting was allowed in Newark.
When he was barely seventeen years of
age Gibbons started in the fighting game
and before be had reached bis majority he
had given the lightweights of his day n
setback In their aspirations for champion
ship honors.
Several years ago he met Bull" Nc
Carthy, of Philadelphia, at the old Shoot
Ing Park in this city, and beat that rugged
flgter in six rounds. He went to New Or
leans M fought Andy Bowen, then the
lightweight champion, in a forty-hve-round
battle.
Gibbons's trip TO England brought him
the championship Of that kingdom when
he whipped Stanton Abbott. He fought
Jack McAuliffe in Hoboken for the cham
pionship of America, and in the sixth
round the hackers Of McAuliffe turned out
the HBhlS, ana GlDDOns ana ms frlenuS
were robbed of the spells of the fight.
His last memorable fight was with Joe
Walcott, and while the young Pater-
sonlan was cutting the burly negro into
ribbons he became careless, and, while
turning In the middle of a round to advise
some of his friends at the ringside to place
more money, Walcott took him W
and copied him on the jaw. and Gibbons
was a whipped man.
In the heyday of his success Gibbons
Travelled the country meeting ali light
weights. He always fought on the level
and never would enter into a deal where
his hackers interests were liable to be
lessened. Leaving the ring Gibbons re-
turned to Paterson and a couple Of years
ago he became a member of the Paterson
Fire Department. But he found this life
too slow for hin and he resigned and
entered the liquor business. He slowly
dropped out of the llmellght, as is always
the case with defeated fighters, and soon
he was not heard of. In '9S he enlisted in
Uncle Sans army, joining the cavalry.
While passing through st. Joseph's Hos
pital yesterday an EVENING STAR man
found Gibbons occupying a cot. His
emaciated form told a story that words
could not tell. His friends in Paterson
and those who recall him in his palmy
days will no doubt hold a benefit for the
one-time popular fighter, 50 as to make his
last days as comfortable as possible.

ROPER AT HARVARD.
May Mean That Tigers and Crimson
Will Renew Athletic Relations.

Nov. 2s.-It was reported
here last night on seemingly reliable
authority that Princeton and
will renew athletic relations next year
and that the elevens representing the
two institutions will meet next raii-
Bill Roper, chief coach of Princeton,s
football team this season, coached the
Harvard eleven yesterday, giving 1t
the benefit of the Tigers's experience
against, Yale last Saturday. That the
chief coach of a Princeton eleven
should coach q Harvard team the day
before it's game with Yale is consid-
cred conclusive proof hat athletic re-
lations will be resumed, and 1t IL m
thing that the oldest grads" can re-
member no parallel for. Roper's
action in coaching Harvard furnished
the sensation Of a week full of excite
ment.
Harvard men were elated over 1t.
and Yale men, while commenting free
ly on the incident and discussing 1t
from every point of view, were not
prone to criticise Roper, although they
characterized 1t as being most unusua
and extraordinary" An annual foot
ball game between Princeton and Har-
yard would be looked upon most favor
ably by football men throughout the
East. 1t has been long felt that Yale
was at n disadvantage in having to
meet both Princeton and Harvard.
With this game added each of the So
called big three would play two
championship matches each year.
Athletic relations between Princeton and
Harvard SO far as football goes were
severed in 1896, Princeton won that year
by the score of 70 to 0. Since then the
two teams have not met. In 1906 Harvard
decided not to meet the University of
Pennsylvania on the gridiron. Since then
the Crimson has wanted another cham
pionship match on her schedule. Prince
ton has not been satisfied with Cornell as
a substitute for Harvard, and there is a
possibility Of her dropping the Ithacans
from her schedule II she plays Harvard.
Mr.. Roper did not care to discuss the
probabilities Of Princeton playing Har-
ward next fall. He did mot deny the re-
port, but merely smiled when told OF 1t.
II care to make no definite statement .
was all he would say up to a late hour
last night. In speaking OF the Harvard
eleven. he said: Individually. Harvard

FIGHTERS SIGN UP.
Cans and Nelson to Fight Again-They
Need the Money.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 23.-Joe Cans
and Battling Nelson have signed arti-
cles for another lightweight cham
pionship battle. They met here yes
terday, and after much arguing by
Nelson, in which the deposed Hege-
! wisch fighter tried to use the dicta-
torial methods which he learned from
his former mentor. Billy Nolan, theS
signed articles. Nelson guaranteed
that he could command a $4,000 purse
but when Cans mentioned that the
weight would be 1873 at the ringside,
the ex-Battler supplemented that the
men should weigh in with their ring
toys on.
At this Cans smiled pityingly at Nell
son, and remarked that the weight
would be what he wanted, not what
Nelson might like. Cans is the cham
pion, and is in a position to dictate
that his defeat by Cans and by James
Edward Britt did not make any differ
ence in his standing in fistic circles.
The men finally reached the conclusion
that they would fight a sufficient number
of rounds to make the battle practically
a finish one. The purse will be divided
rs per cent. to the winner and % per cent.
to the loser. The men expect to fight on
or about New Years Day, but the date
OF Lne scene OIL the contest ms not yet
been finally settled. 1t is believed that
one of the many Nevada fight clubs will
make an offer for the battle.
The one queer thing about the whole
transaction Is that Nelson believes himself
to be a sufficiently great drawing card to
guarantee a $35, 600 purse. Possibly the
Dane is taking into consideration the fact
that recently the fight fans have stood for
several fiascos. Few persons would pay
a high price to see Nelson In ring now.
Since his battle with Cans in Goldheld,
when the champion beat him mercilessly
for forty-two rounds, Nelson has gone
back rapidly. Since Jimmy Britt beat him
easily for twenty rounds, having him all
hut out in the last round, Nelson has not
fought. Few persons believe that he would
last ten rounds with Cans now

Neil was groggy as he left his corner FOR
the sixteenth round, the crowd yelling
