Gibbons is Clever Fighter.
Mike Gibbons is no longer a clever
boxer, but a clever fighter This is
the way a well known fighter sized
up the st. Paul sensation after watch
ing him fight Bob Moha at Hudson,
Wis, recently.
There was a time" remarked this
fighter, that Gibbons was nothing but
a clever boxer, but he has got be-
ycnd that stage now ana must be
classed as a combination Of both.
have seen him in most OF his big bait
ties, but it is only during the past
few months that Mike has combined
his hitting ability with his cleverness.
I would not have believed that he pos
sessed the ability to land a knock
out punch had it not been for the fact
that 1 have watched him so closely.
He reminds me very much Of the late
Jack Dempsey, from what I have read
about him. If Mike meets Jimmy Clab-
by again it viii be very different
contest from what they furnished be-
fore; it will not be a sparring match,
but cleverness and hitting combined
against a very clever ring general. Ny
money will go on Gibbons and 1 have
never seen Clabby box at that"
There are many who will back up
the statement about Gibbons being able
to hit, but there are many more who
Will not agree with the fighter as
regards Mike beating Clabby. Jimmy
has a big following and Hammond will
go broke on him any time the two
clash.

n EMWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 1s.-The
MI claim is made in France that
l. 4 the wonderful showing of the
French soldiers in the war is due, IN
a great measure, to the introduction
of athletics Of all kinds into the
French army and schools during the
past 20 years. One Of the French
officers, who was formerly connected
with an athletic institution and who
was a great supporter Of the boxing
game, pays quite tribute TO boxing
in the building up of young French
men. This officer, who does not wish
his name mentioned at this time, in
writing to a friend in this city, says;
you were right when you told me
that what we needed was athletics and
especially boxing. 1 would not have
believed it, were 1t not for the fact
that the demonstration has been
brought home to U.s. Formerly 1 was
opposed to boxing, but now it will be
my endeavor (prOviding I live through
this affair." to encourage 1t in all
countries. You VIII prooaDly De sur
prised to know that Eugene SoldeVille,
who at one time did a lot Of boxing
in Paris and also in England and Aus
tria, has been proving himself quite
hero. He was in one OF the hardest
charges along the Aisne river. It Is
EuFDElSlnE
ers who have enlisted in the army over
here. There are hundreds Of them and
every one has been in the thickest Of
fights.
Carpenter Not Injured.
Il was out to see Georges Carpen-
tier, the middleweight champion, who
was supposed to have been injured
quite badly I found Georges to be
feeling quite well indeed and content
with his lot. When I left he was
preparing TO go on a mission with one
OF the aViatOrs, so the stories about
him not being at the front are un-
true. There have been various reports
about Charles Ledoux, the bantam
champion, being KILLED, and tried
TO investigate. From what 1 could
learn he is at Alencon and is teeling
very well Whether he has met with
an accident since then 1 cannot say.
StUber. Clement and Brochet, all well
known boxers here, were with L.
dcux and every one Of them had been
severely wounded.
Bicycle Rider Killed.
1T may surprise you also to hear
that Tom Linton, at one time a IA
nous bicycle rider, who raced in New
York several times, was killed in one
OF the battles. 1 hope that this af-
fair will soon be ended and that we
will be able to get back to our regu-
lar lives. II we do, rest assured that
athletics and boxing will always have
a warm spot in the hearts OF all army
officers in France"

team whose owner can afford to give

Not n Cineh for Red SOx.
Wen admit that the Red SoX on
paper and this years finish look like
the combination that has to be beaten
by the team that desires the honor OF
playing in the next worlds series but
refuse to see it in the light of a cinch
such as Mack would have It appear.
AS a matter of fact were the other
two players after whom Comiskey Is
angling already hitched up to the Sox
payroll as is Collins, we'd here and now
declare that the 1915 American league
pennant was already as good as nailed
to the South Side flag pole.
The correspondents who picked Joe
Benz and Cicotte as part payment for
Collins might better have picked any
two other hurlers on the SOx staff as
far as Mack's chances of getting them
were concerned. True, Connie would
have liked to secure CiCOtte, but Com
my thinks less of his right arm than
he does of such a lion hearted ball
player as the diminutive tWirIer has
proved himself to be. AS far as Benz
is concerned Mack might have got
him had Joe been anxious to leave the
SoX but in view of the way Commy
fathered the butcher boy no one could
get him and the lad is still satisfied
with his berth on the south side.
Still Dickeriug For Cubs
While John r. Thompson during the
week denied that he had purchased
the Cubs, as WEs reported he UIu not
deny that negotiations with owner
Taft are still pending and those on
the inside of the baseball situation
in Chicago predict that Thompson will
be the next owner Of the West Side
team. It is a well known fact that
Thompson viii be a mayoTalty candi-
date at the coming election and it
would not be at all surprising to see
the next boss Of the Cubs also the
next boss of Chicago.

eentage of 1000, but they have played
only one game.
In the game played Friday, E. Garcia,

easily best for his team. His kicking
particularly, was very accurate, and he
kicked all three Of the goals scored by
his team. Pancho villa, a namesake OF
the power behind the throne in Mexico
showed that he is as much a fighter a s
the famous chief. Pancho was particu-
larly strong in interfering
Beau played most Of the game with
