GIBBONS, PILOT,
AIRS HIS VIEWS
Declares That New Era Is
Dawning for the Boxing
Game in America.

Eddie Kane. manager OF Mike Glib
bons and brother Tom, is OF the be-
lief that a big change has come over
bozinz-a new era he calls it. These
are his views:
"a rev era has dawned upon the
boxing game. The day Of the greedy
champion and the monographs
promoter has gone-perhaps forever
and tine GAY OF the fighter who
wants TO fight has come. Boxing IS
not only permitted. but helped by
the men Of the hour-the military.
Under present circumstances there
are 10 fat purses-there cannot be.
There is no chance for a stalluE
champion to hold any one up for big
money and 10 demand the earth for
his appearance in the ring. The pro-
fessional promoter. i'm most places
has been driven off the map. and has
just one chance before him, TO forget
his former ways, turn in like n good
fellow and help the work along. But
boxing, as sport as a developer Of
men, has never known such boom
Il don't often grow over enthusi-
astic. but 1 can't help II after a visit
to the camps. Never did think that
such places could have been invented
places where all alike are brought
10 the same level of good American
hulks go in. and in a few weeks time
places where there is clean fun and
pastlme-say, ] can't go too
far when I talk about what I've seen
in the camps
