Gibbons and Bronson
May Meet for Title

MILWAUKEE,, Wis. Dec. 24.-There
Is strong probability that Mike Glib
bons, the st. Paul boxing sensation,
and Ray Bronson viii come together
in a match for the welterweight
championship of America.
Bronson recently claimed the cham
p'onship because Jimmy Claby, the
holder of the title. had declared that
he would enter the middleweight
ranks, and that he considers Gibbons
could not make the weight of l42
pounds at 3 o'clock. Now Gibbons
wires from his nome in st. Paul that
he can make the weight, and is ready
to match UP at that limit II a decent
purse is offered.
The West Side A: c. of New Orleans.
prospects are bright for bringing
them together. Bronson has wired
that he will post q forfeit for weight.

Tri-State Teams May
Drop Out of Circuit

ALTOONA, Pa, Dec. 2i-The annual
meeting of the Tri-State Baseball League
will be held at Harrisburg early in
January. Until then it will not be posi-
lively known whether Altoona and
Johnstown will be represented in the
circuit next season.
1T is highly probable that there will
be a change" said President Charles
Carpenter today. but the league is
powerless TO do anything until the an
nual meeting. Then all the cities are
expected to qualify by manifesting their
intention of putting a club In the field.
Those cities that do not do SO will be
dropped" ....

Nationals for the same day. He wired
New Haven that he would have to
shift, but the Yale management re-
it would be impossible to be here that
day, as a game had already been sched-
uled with Virginia. Griffith immedi-
ately wired Ithaca, so Washington fan
dom will have an opportunity to see
Cornell in action against the Nationals
the final Saturday before the opening OF
the regular season.
Considers Bids.
Griffith now has under consideration
bids for the uniforms which his charges

been the case in the past the Ma

probably a very dark gray or blue on

that they take too much time to put

change.
He's Not, Interested.
Despite all that is being written of the
United States League, Griffith declines
to be interested in the outlaws" and
today he dismissed the topic with the
simple expression Forget It,"
According to reports from New York,
however. the invaders are actually
planning to build a new park in this
city. Where 1t Is to be located Is still
mystery as sites for such grounds are
few and far between, but If Magnate
McKinnon's claim Is to be taken seri-
ously the new circuit will have real
plant here before the dawn Of another
season.
The new defunct Union League did
an indirect favor to Washington by
building the park at Fifteenth and II.

The Middies are not likely to suffer
much from the classification given their

Chance dotes on Athletics.

Playing an exhibition game on the
18th OF the month indicates that Clark
Griffith does not suffer from any SUI
perstition. After all, other games oil
the regular schedule are played on
the 18th, even when 1t Is a Friday.
SO what difference does 1t make? If
we're going to win. we'll win, no
matter what date the calendar may
show.

Merry Christmas to you all.

Frank Gotch has decided to chal-
lenge the winner Of the Zbyszko-
Raicevitch bout In New York. or
rather, allow the winner to challenge
him with success. sGotch probably can
win SO easily that he doesn't worry
over the proposed bout at all. And
then, too. evens though he doesn't
meet the winner. it's good advertise
ment for the New York match, and
well. It's all to the good of the wrest-
ling game, anyway.

the five high schools of Washington

there is a natural rivalry between
each of the institutions there will be
a fight before any of them pass up

gridiron.

Cobb fears night mares?

They say that Battling Nelson is done
as boxer, but the former lightweight
champion continues to make coolies of
money in short bouts all over the coun-
try. Boxing fans want to see him, be-
cause he always gives them a run for
their money, ending his exhibition with
a neat speech as to his Intentions Of
regaining his title. Nelson is the
shrewdest of all boxers now before the
public.

Griffith rests tomorrow.

Griffith Is willing to lay a good sized
wager that Fred Clarke's name will fig
ure In at least one box score next sea-
son. It's hard work for a good man
like the Pirate leader to stay out when
he feels that his experienced skill can
bring victory. and Clarke is a long way
from being ALI in as a player. Yes.
Grin stands a good chance Of winning.

Also a happy New Year.

The Washington Cross Country Club
Is showing plenty Of the hustling spirit
In signing up such athletes as Gish,
Lowe, Robertson, and Weidemann. As
soon as few dual meets are held, the
spirit of hustling may strike a few other
clubs, and then Washington will be the
gamer for the thrill among Its athletes
of every club.
