profited any by the lesson given him
last night by Mike Gibbons.
The at. Paul phantom" certainly
materialized. He out-boxed. out
slugged and out-fought the Hammond
boy. He demonstrated to tho 5000 men
and women who crowded the audi
torium that he Is in a class by himself.
Clabby never had a chance and was
lucky to hold Gibbons even In three
of the ten rounds. The other seven
were Mikes by SO big a margin that
the most biased Clabby partisan con-
ceded them.

opponent After that II was merely a
question Of how much punishment Clab-

Mike repeatedly jabbed his lightning
left into Clabby's face without re-
turn. The fourth and fifth We're all
Mikes. In the sixth Clabby changed
quarters, cover up. and whale away
with both hands. This period was
fairly even.
Clabpy took a beautiful lacing In the
seventh, eighth. and ninth. The only
good blow he landed was right
swing that cut Gibbons eye. Clabby
was bleeding from mouth and nose.
In the last round Clabby fought des-

Birthday Today, Did Just
That for Old England.

To spend $4,000 on the chance Of
winning a sporting event 10 . pretty
game sort Of proposition. but It -
Just what Baron Wimborne did In his
successfui attempt last year TO lift the
International polo cup. Baron VIM
borne, who is u years old today. has
for years been = polo enthusiast. and
when he went after the trophy which
had twice eluded the best efforts Of
British teams. he didn't overlook . bot
that might insure success. As = re-
suit, tho 1914 contest for the polo cup
was the most thrilling ever witnessed
In America. The invading team. COM
posed exclusively Of army Officers. took
two straight matches, and the cup went
back to England. As most Of the Brit
ish polo players are In the army,
America is unlikely TO have 4 chance
TO rega,n the trophy this year.

commons as a liberal member. He In
herited from his father an estate OF more
than 5000 acres, and. as he possessed
a considerable fortune OF his own. his
expenditures in annexing tho polo cup
didn't leave him broke.
