POSSIBLE FOR MIKE GIBBONS
TO BECOME TWICE CHAMPION
St. Paul's Crack Boxer Has Chance for Both
the Welterweight and Middle
weight Boxing Belts.

CHICAGO, June 5.-Wouldn't it be
somewhat out of the ordinary if, in these
scienced days of boxing, a man were to
win two titles, each one in different
class Mike Gibbons is confronted with
this situation. He is the first fighter to
be placed in the novel role since Terry
McGovern was in his zenith-twelve years
ago.
Mike doesn't know whether to stick in
the welterweight class or to make war on
the 15S- pound swingers. Just now the
st. Paul man is as good as welterweight
champion. although he has not officially
landed that honor. When things work
eout, and they ought to soon. Mike will
be accorded the glory without dissent
ing vote, if his muscles do not grow
larger and his bones heavier That is
where the If comes in. Ruling out the
scale question, there is small doubt that
Gibbons would have a most excellent
chance of holding two championships at
one time, and even now it is a possible
proposition
In the days gone by few fighters have
been the owners of two ring plums at the
same time. McGovern claimed three.
Fftzsimmons was middle and heavy
leader during the same period, but he
finally relnquished one in favor of Tom
my Ryan. who regarded himself as both
weller and middle champion. Then there
was Dixon, who gathered both the ban
tam and featherweight belt.
McGovern, however was the last to
boast the possession of two crowns. 1t
was back in 1900 that he gathered the
last one when he whipped Dixon. The
lightweight belt did not go to Terry be-
cause of his defeats of Erne and Cans.
Not long after he started fighting he
was bantam champion.

In the middleweight class there are
three men who appear formidable-Mc-
Goorty, Klaus and Mocha. Gibbons would
have nothing much to fear from these
fellows if they made 1oS pounds ring
side for him.
clever man. but apparently is greatly
handicapped on account of his stature.
MGoorty is the best of the trio. He looks
like sure champion II his poundage
does not increase and il Gibbons decides
to sidestep conflict with larger men. But
think if Mike were to fight McGoorty
at 15S pounds Mike would beat him In ten
or twenty rounds.
The westerner need not worry at the
disadvantage he would be placed under
by fighting middleweights. There would
be no disadvantage. Tommy Ryan never
thirty individuals of greater bulk and
height. Gibbons. as a mddleweight at
this writing, could possibly build himself
up to 14 pounds. When you take into
consideration his natural fighting quail
fications, he would not be handicapped by
four pounds in favor OF the party OF the
second part.
Mike is tall, with heavy shoulders, a
good reach and slim legs-ideal proper
tons for a middleweight champion. He
has unlimited stamina, quick brain, and
is pronounced artist as a boxer. I'd like
to see the 15S-pound fellow that could get
away with him at this time.
Before long it is almost a sure thing
that Gibbons will be forced to barter
blows with the middleweights. II his own
weight remains the same. a wager that
he is both weller and middle champion

HERRESHOFF LOSES
Quest for Golf Title of Great
Britain a Quick Failure.
BEATEN IN FIRST MATCH
w. C. vanderpool, Only Other Player
From This Country,
Also Put Out.

LONDON, June "a combination of
bad play and ill-luck completely upset
Fred Herreshoffs chances of winning the
amateur golf championship of Great Brit
ain at Westward Ho yesterday. The
American was put out Of the contest in
his first match, D. A. NJ. Brown, the Isle
of Wight player defeating him by 2 up
and 1 to play.
Herreshoff, who hoped to win the title,
appeared nervous and was completely off
his game. He got in the ditch at the first
hole, and at the turn was l down. At the
eleventh hole, where Brown was up,
Herreshoff sliced and got into the rushes
twice, but at the twelfth hole was only
. down. At the thirteenth. however, the
American was bunkered, and again stood
3 down. He won the fourteenth hole, but
was able only to halve the next three.
w. c. Vanderpool, the only other Ameri-
can competing, met similar fate at the
hands of H. /. Nicholl of the Royal
North Devon Club, Icing beaten by up
and to play. So the American invasion
was short lived.
When Fred Herreshoff, who was run
ner-up to Harold III. Hilton in the ma
tional championship tournament at Apa-
wants last September, sailed for the other
side early in April to compete in the
BRUSH amateur touTHdicHt. nc "dS SoIa-
sidered to have better than an outside
chance of accomplishing something worth
while. In fact. few of his friends had
visions of the far-driving Herresshoff dp-
plicating the performance Of Walter j.
Travis, who won the English title at
Sandwich. in 1904.
Herreshoff has never been consistent
golfer, and while he has at different
times shown brilliantly he has at others
failed even to make the first sixteen in
an ordinary tournament. When he is at
his best he is difficult man to beat, as
Hilton can testify Evidently yesterday
was not one of Fred's good days.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.

An Indianapolis girl spent several
weeks in the south, and lived much
in the open. She cranked the auto
mobile, rode horseback, painted a
fence and in other ways exercised as
usual by doing more than playing
bridge and sitting in a rocking chair
on the gallery CHATS what they call
Fem in the south). The carpenter
who busted himself here and there
was amazed. The women he had
seen come south for the winter did
not do much work, nor did the
southern women he knew, SO he
looked on the Indianapolis girl with
wonder. One morning he said to the
girls hostess:
"That's a fine girl you have from
the north. She seems to be able to
do q lot of things. Just tell her,
please, that if my wife dies I'll be
