GIBBONS GETS
BETTER Of GO
Man Out-boxed by
St. Paul Lad-Interest-
ing Bouts at Hudson.

Minneapolis, Feb. II. - Hudson's
second effort in the boxing line
brought a somewhat unsatisfactory
main event but the card as a whole
was saved from mediocrity by the
vigor of the preliminaries. In the
principal event Tommy Gibbons jab-
bed himself to victory over knockout
Brown with a series of lightning fefts
that did no material damage to the
facial beauty of the Chicago Greek.
Brown retaliated by Il series of ter
rifle misses n wild swings. He fail
ed throughout the ten rounds to land
a damaging blow and Gibbons with
his New York engagement Of Thurs
day night in mind did not cut loose
TO mix it close in with the Greek but
satisfied himself with long range work
and jabbing. Taken as a, whole the
main event was the poorest part of
the evenings entertainment.
The p~reliminaries. though, were
hummers. The night started with an
eight-round fight between sokoi Of
Minneapolis and Stevens of Milwau-
kee. Both of these chaps were will
ing millers and went at it slam bang
on practically eve terms until the
seventh round, when Sokol landed a
vicious right swing on Stevens nose
sending him flat with u broken nose,
At h count of seven Stevens crawled
to his knee AND supported himself by
the ropes as though to come on the
count of nine. The ten rolled off
though with Stevens still on one knee
and it went as a knockout for the
Minneapolis man. stevens nose had
been broken by the blow.
Then came the widest bout of the

night. Contour Of Milwaukee had
been tipped as a miniature l~naneater
who was to cat Whelan of st. Paul
alive. Whelan's most ardent friends
nounced before the fight that it had
been bad matchmaking and hat they
would be satisfied If Whelan could
stand the Californian off for the eight
rounds They were introduced and
announced as weighing 122 pounds.
Whelan surprised all, however, and
completely out-fought his opponent.
There was not so much tt the main
bout. Brown was a dangerous, rugged,
tough, awkward fighter. without skill
as a boxer or any footwork worthy of
His specially is a series Of
wicked right and left swings. but Glib
bons, fighting apparently with the
New York engagement in mind, set
out to simply outlook and outpoint
him. Gibbons showed beautiful foot
work and made Brown miss about as
he pleased He kept the Chicago
fighter from getting set most of the
time by q series of rapier-like thrusts
and jabs with his left, and. OCCASION
ally crossed his right. Brown had his
shoulder up in front of the jaw, and
Gibbons could apparently see no pro-
muscular shoulder Brown shelled up
and neither mar suffered any ma
terial damage. AS an exhibition of
sparring for points, the st.
Paul boy gave q sterling exhibition,
The continued %injunctions from his
corner to look out for his hands may
have restrained Gibbons from slam
ming harder. but Brown was not in
jured materially. and certain it was
that Gibbons was not hurt. Scored
on points, it was Gibbons bout all Of
way. but after the milling in the
the main bout seemed
slow.

BOSS WORRIED OVER MOVE TO
SWITCH ST. PAUL CLUB TO CHICAGO
Charles Murphy Would Rattle Have Federals in Chica-

to Protect Himself in the Courts-May Checkrnate

Chicago. Feb. lift the advance
copy of the program Of this weeks
meeting of baseball men in New York
is to he credited, one of the biggest
tights in the history Of tho game is
To he staged. The leaders of organ
lied ball are determined to Vote per-
mission to the American association
club owners TO switch the st. Paul
franchise of tina; league into Chicago
against the wishes of Charles w. Muir
ply of the Cubs. The plan is to let
Charlie Sonlers move the Toledo club
into Cleveland at the same time. but
there will be no fight IN that, because
the Cleveland magnate is himself the
most ardent supporter of the propo-
sition.
Murphy is the only real opponent of
the measure. according to late reports
from the east. The Cub owner very
e~mphatically says that he will not
give his consent for the American as
sociation men to come into his terri
tory. Murphy says hat he would
much rather sec the outlaws make
good here than to have the American
association come in under the auspices
of organized ball.
May Chcckmatc Feds.
Although Weeghman and Walker
deny the report they are to take over
the St. Paul club and place it in Chi
rago. there is plenty of ground for be-
lieving that there is more to the story
than has been made public. If
Weeghman would withdraw the Fed
