BILLY Gibson. who IL a diplomat,
trophesies victory for both. Or ms Billy

TITS this way said Bill last night.
Gibbons Is a bashful. retiring sort Of
= fellow. but he has won mis- recent
.tgtts 20 easily tina, he has a sort Of
u notion that he can beat anybody In
the world without any trouble. Tha,
feeling makes q man hard to beat. I
con't mean that Mike has a big head;
. Just feels like q champion. And as
for Denning. why. I think people will
'aink AZ I do before long. He's been
/. much undere stimated fighter. ex-
ect TO see him give Gibbons all sorts

n CAN recommend this bout 20 any
one who has an Idea that boxers
are rough IND ulcouth persons.
Mike and Jack are ChestcrfIcids Of the
ring. both OF 'em. Each has a habit
Of a~polosixing ~ soon a. possible after
administering the knockout. and each
places the Anal punch With scientific
accuracy unaccompanied by malice.
o!bbons and Derning NJ both good
examples Of the modern boxer. Neither
