Tom Gibbons
May Fight With
Jack Dempsey

New York, Aug. 1T.--Now that Jack
Dempsey is putting an edge on his
gloves and getting ready to knock a
few aspirants to the worlds heavy
weight championship for goal. there
are cropping up few well traine :.
boxers who are starting to wonder II
they would have a chance with the
Colorado demon.
And among Lnem is Tom Gibbons.
Tom is brother Of the famous Mike.
less famous because he hasn't made so
many spectacular fights Tom staaed
out as middleweight, got along pret-
ty well as it, and now has graduated
into the ranks Of the light heavy
weights. He has beaten Billy Miske,
Harry Greb, Clay Turner and all the
best of thel light heayies who infest
this country.
Gibbons, the younger of the fighting
brothers, is slowly growing, and he
now can probably engineer his conui
tioning so that he could entt' the ring
with Dempsey weighing about ITS
pounds. That is fifteen pounds light
er than Dempsey's best weight, but
few pounds among the heavyweights
doesn't amount to so much as 1t does
among the smaller chaps He has
long, stabbing left hand that operates
in much the same mannert hat broth
er Mikes did, but he isn't much
shucks as a socker. For that reason
he believes that his speed afoot and
constant jabbing will earn him a vic
tory on points over the champion,
while serving to keep that gentleman
at bay with his sledge- hammer blows.

Council Thinks
Signal Menace;
Truck Men Lose

The signal post in the center of
Capitol street, erected with a view
to making the street safe for motor
lists, is apt to do more harm than
good and should be removed; the
ordiqance which provides that trucks
shall not be parked on certain streets
in the fire limits must be enforced
at present, and the fire. and water
committee should first make re-
port on the proposed two platoon
system for the fire department, be-
fore and further action is taken by
the council.
Such was the sentiment on business
of chief importance which came ben
fore the city council at its regular
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1920-08-17

/ is Salem would require only -FOUR OF
six men in addition to those at pres
ent employed by the fire department
and asking that the council give lts
endorsement to the plan, Chief Har-
ry Hutton, Of the fire department
made short talk.
1t was obvious that the council
favors the plan, but no definite act
ion was taken. The fire and water
committee was instructed to bring in
report of the two platoon system
which will be acted on at the coun-
ellis next meeting.
r. E. Davis, who has been acting
as night patrolman on the Salem po-
lice force, was formally elected to the
position.
Petitions Referred to Committees
A petition Of residents of the OK
ford addition, asking for a sewer was
referred to the committee on sewers.
and.a request made by residents of
North High street. that the grade be
lowered was turned over to the street
committee.
