Roberts well deserved the honor. Not
only did he capture the championship
titles at % and 100 yards and lower the 50
yard mark from IS seconds TO % As Sec

GIBBONS Wins in
A WHIRLWIND BOUT
St. Paul Boxer Bests How.
ard i'm Fast Ten Rounds
at Broadway Club.

Mike Gibbons. rated by many as the
best middleweight In the ring to-day, de.
feated Johnny Howard. Of Bayonne. in
ten rounds Of boxing at the Broadway
Sporting Club. OF Brooklyn. last night.
The victory OF the ST. Paul man was clear
cut and decisive
questionably had the better of the ex-
changes and in those periods where How
ard held forth it was on sufferance only.
There we're three such rounds. while an
other, the eighth. was so slow that neither
could be credited with any advantage.
Howard was defeated, but he has little
cause to hang his head There was never
a moment in which he had the power TO
urge his muscles into action that he re-
fused to stand right in the battle ligh.
and make Gibbons fight for every inch
OF ground. He landed many singing
punch, and in the third round made Mike
run 10 cover with a right hand hook on
the chin which carried a world of power
behind II.
The effect was momentary. however.
and Mike soon cut loose with volley Of
wicked smashes from both hands which
swept all before It, Howard in turn was
forced 10 retreat but that retreat was
covered by spirited fighting all the way.
There were several times when IL
seemed that Howard must certainly go
down to decisive defeat. In the fourth
round Gibbons brought into play his
speed and power For a moment he nd
died and tented around and then.
printing Howard with a left to the chin,
leaped in with a crushing right on the tip
Of the chin.
The Jersey lads knees sagged and ne
gasped for breath. Like bolt of light
ming Gibbons went at him. swrling gloves
that carried disaster In every stroke.
Many landed, and with crushing force
both on head and body, but with rare
courage Howard stayed on his feet. Then
his brain cleared and he backed away
to safety.
Towards sun set with that round The
gruellIng that he had taken robbed his
muscles OF their snap and brought him
down 10 Mike size. Ills puIlCHts were Hu
longer shot to the mark, but rather
started in sections. They carried little
power, and Gibbons, after deliberately
taking a few, was satisfied that he had
the situation we'll in hand.
Gibbons boxed with all his wizard
like skill. and the situation demanded
that he use IT, Howard was not at all
impressed by mere names and person
alities. He is devoid Of imagination
Furthermore, he has an idea that he car
whip any man in the world, and desired
to prove his belief. There we're times
when his speed made Gibbons miss
punches by wide margins, and Mike

Walter J. Travis takes occasion 70 COM
r,ent further in print on the differences
between the United States Golf Associa-
tion and himself. II will be recalled that
some time ago Travis published CORE
spondence between the association anu
himself in which he asked the governing
todv's sanction so that he could take
abroad as his guests ten or dozen
American amateurs with view 10 COM
netting for the British championship al
Sandwich. The association deemed the
plan impractical and not in accordance
with the best interests of golf.
Using the third person, Travis comments
as follows
80 far a. the United States Golf AS
ISOLATION is concerned. the matter Is sun
in status QUO, no further communication
having been received from that BODY IN
the meantime. Mr.. Travis, however mas
received so many letters and expressions
Of opinion sympathetic with his loea
that we are led to make public let-
ter typical of the prevailing sentL
nents so generally expressed, all of Ike
tenor. merely suppressing, for obvious
reasons the address and club in the FOL
lowing note. For ourselves. as already
announced. we reserve any comments on
the subject at large until a definite reply
Is received by Mr. Travis from the asso-
cation.
My Dear Mr. Travis: l have been
very much interested in reading the cor
respondence which has passed between
Yourself and the executive committee or
the L. S. G. A. You may be aware OF
the feeling existing among some or the
Western clubs, members Of the L. ,.
G. A. over the selection of the courses
for the amateur championship this year.
particularly the way in which arrange
ments we're made so that EkwanoA was
selected for the tournament.
81 think l am perfectly safe in saying
that great many individuals in this
country now realize that no one mas
much OF a chance of falr ued' rs io"e
as the present parties controi the eHeou

NOT writing this letter in my ollciai ga

we're treated unfairly. and many OF your
friends here are very much interested
as 20 the outcome of this matter, oeliev-
d.. that the officials of the l. 5 q. A
