tween Val Comstock and Joe Alt

coon with Ole Anderson of Ruston.
Recently published statements

Glib BONS
BROTHERS
May COM E
Mike and Tommy, st. Paul
Ring Stars, Coming
West Shortly.

Tacoma fans may have an
opportunity of seeing Tom
and Mike Gibbons, well
known st. Paul boxers, this
season.
Eddie Kane, manager OF the
boys, who came west recently to
arrange a tour for his proteges, is
in Seattle this week. He has
practically completed plans for
Tom and Mike to box in Seattle,
and is anxious to put them on
here, either as an exhibition or
with Tacoma boxers. If he can
get two dates on the Sound, he
can afford to bring the brothers
this way. Otherwise, they may
not come at all.
The appearance in Tacoma
of Tom and Mike Gibbons
would be a tremendous boost
for the fight game. These
boys are of the very highest
type of gentlemanly boxer.
Both are married and have
families.
Tommy boxes in the light-heavy-
weight division and Mike in the
middleweight class. None Of the
local promoters have as yet sig
nified an intention of bringing the
boys here.
al Sommers of Portland is
claiming the middleweight cham
pionship of the Northwest, as a
result of his victory in 10 rounds
over Billy George at Bend, Ore,
Monday night.
Denver Ed Martin, the big
cOlOred boxer who used to
fight Jack johnson back In
1908 and 'O4, is planning a
comeback. Martin recently
moved from Tacoma to Port
land, where he has been
training boxers and working
about the gyms. Heartened
by the recent come-backs of
Chef Mcintyre, Tommy Burns
and others, Denver Ed an
.nounces that he, too, is still
Pit to fight. He is trying to
get a bout In Portland.
Val Sontag, Seattle middle
weight, has scored another victory
in Brooklyn. His latest victim is
Jack Howard of Indianapolis.
Sontag stopped him in the second
round.
No word has been received
from Joe Bonds since he
wrote a month ago that he
was leaving New York and
nigh meet Les Darcy in
Memphis. So far as can be
learned Joe has had no recent
- bouts.
A San Francisco promoter has
asked Chef Mcintyre to go south
and box Fat" LaRue, former ma
tional heavyweight champion. The
Frisco fans want to lamp this old
man who whipped their favorite
son, Willie Meehan.

Frank Farmer says his
honeymoon is nearly over.
With the boxing season near
ing its end, Frank can see the
time coming soon when he
must start working for a liv-
ing once more. Although his
bride is quite a boxing fan,
she'd rather see hubby fight
ing for a living somewhere
else than in q ring.

Especial to The Times.)
NEW YORK, April 17.-Les
Darcy, Australian middleweight
champion, has been pretty goner-
ally repudiated In America. He is
called a Stacker.
New York, Ohio and New Or
leans, three of the greatest fight
ing centers in the country, have
refused to allow Darcy to show
his wares.
Darcy is accused of running
away from his duty-of sneaking
out of Australia when he was
needed.
Darcy has offered his alibi, but
even before America went to war
1t didn't go down good. 1t now
looks as though the Australian
plans of cleaning up lot of
money at the expense of American
boxing fans will not get very far.
Regarding Darcy's alibi recent
article in Sydney paper 1as the
following to say:
THE story that has come here
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-04-20

Is there any reason why these
men, who would be slackers in
their own countries should be per-
mitted to come here and annex
Americas money any more than
Les Darcy can?
Let Welsh and Lewis and Ba-
doud and the rest Of them become
U. s. citizens If they want to stay
here. Let them show a little pa
triotism if they expect to be pa
troniaed.
just as Darcy expected to get his,
and although, perhaps, they are
not slackers in the same sense
Darcy is, as they did not leave
their countries secretly In time of
war, yet the same rule should
cover all.
They are Fred Welsh, light
weight champion of the world;
Ted Lewis, English welterweight,
and Baudoud, the French welter-
weight champion.
There are others, of course, but

Willie HOPPE
Being PURSUED
Worlds Billiard Champion
Must Overthrow Many
Aspiring Experts.

It was only a short time ago that
Willie Hoppe issued series Of chal-
lenges from st. Louis to the profess
sional billiard players Of the country
Apparently he has brought forth
enough acceptances Of his offers to
keep him busy for the rest of the
winter. Morningstar and Yamada
were the first to take him UP on the
proposition Of playing two shots to
his one, and now Maurice Daily, who
has not competed in tournament in
Leonard Howison on this proposition,
even to the extent Of putting up $5,-
900 or more.
During the last week three billiard
lists wired their acceptance Of Hopes
conditions, but, as yet, Willie has not
vouchsafed a reply. On the part of
some there Is the belief that he is a
bit repenant of some of his appar-
emily rash outgivings, and would be
glad to evade the responsibility of
living up to them. De Orc says he
is willing to play Hoppe at three
cushions for $1,000 a side. John Daily,
another former three-cushion cham
pion, has q backing Of $4,000 for a
match with Hoppe. and George
Moore. who until two days ago held
also ready to play Hoppe.
It had been reported from st.
Louis that Hoppe would break with
pany as soon as his contract expired,
and the impression was gained that
the contract had only short time to
run. 1t developed, however, that
Hoppe is under contract to the billiard
company for more than two years.

ton. This trip which will enable the
locals to meet teams regarded as the

time ago and today Coach Van Duzee

out with the players on Friday. As
Minot has an excellent chance Of TAX
ing the honors of this district their eff.
forts against Valley City and James

Those two quints are running neck

Hanline Athlete is
Barred From Future
Events by Faculty

Minneapolis, Feb. 8.-Lachland
Taylor. captain of the 1917 Hamline
football team and a star guard on this
seasons basketball quint, has been
barred from further competition in
athletics during the remainder of the
semester by the Hamline faculty. The
action Of the professors was taken
after Taylor had struck the referee
at the Hamline Ma calaster game last
Saturday, in an alteration over the
Cling Of foul on the Red and Gray
player.
Scholarship difficulties do not enter
into the case, as Taylor as reported to
be up in his work. Unsportsmanlike
conduct in athletic competition is the
reason given by the faculty for Tay-
lor's forced withdra wal from Midway
sports this semester. The referee
during the Hamline-Macalester game
attempted to put Taylor out of the
game after he had four personal fouls
called on him and in the melee the
Hamline player struck the official.
The barring Of Taylor puts another
dent in the battered athletic prospects
Of Hamline this semester. The Mid
way athletes have been moved down
relentlessly by the faculty scythe this
winter and student feeling about the
campus is rumored to be running high
over what Is called a wedding out of
the athletic element at Hamline.

Indianapolis. Ind, Feb. S.-The re-
markable basketball skill shown by
Homer Stonebraker, center on the
Wabash college basketball team, has
caused many experts to declare that
he is undoubtedly the greatest indiv-
idual basketball star in the country.
With team built around Stonebrak-
err the small Wabash college has the
leading team of the middle west.
1llinois's speedy team, Purdue's
uuintette of stars and many other
college teams of championship class
have been defeated by Wabash on
their own floors. While the other
men on the team with Stonebraker
are first class performers. it Is al
winning the Wabash victories. The
claimed the national title after going
undefeated for three seasons and
winning 81 straight games was out
classed by Wabash and the individual
work Of Stonebraker was enough to
turn the trick.
Stonebraker is considered by many
to be whole team in himself and
those who have watched the games
he has had part in are willing to ad-
nit that he is all Of that. His basket
shots are faultless. He makes many
a pass that the average player would
never think to attempt. They are all
of them fast and sure. In addition to
being a basketball star Stonebraker
is an all-round performer at track
and field sports. He is fresh from
an Indiana farm, a giant in size and
extremely agile and speedy.
