GIBBONS THINKS
 HE IS DUE FIGHT
 WITH CHAMP JACK
Dempsey's Poor Showing AuainSt Brennan to Be EX-
 pected, States the Challenger
Rt TOMMY GIpBONs
Challenger for the Heavyweight
 Championship of the World.D

st. Paul Minn.. January 1.-(Specidl.) Although I am firmly convinced that Jack Dempsey is being criticized un- justly by eastern writers for his per formance against Bill Brennan. l can not help but feel that the showing which Brennan made entities me 10 a bout with the heavyweight champion.
 have noticed that several sport writers have declared that Oempsav's next opponent should be Harry Greb or myself. This is fair enough l am perfectly willing to meet Greb in ome neutral city, and let the result of our bout determine who shall get the match with Dempsey. As every one knows made every effort to get bout with Carpentier before he boxes the cham pion, but l was not successful ard Georges, of course, cannot be blamed.
 LAYING FOR JACK
 For more than six months I have been preparing for the title bout l have been studying Dempsey's methods, and while realize that he is dangerous every minute I have not been obliged to change my belief that he would not be at his best against a shifty boxer.
 The fact that Brennan hit Dempsey quite often was not a surprise. A num- her of boxers have commented upon the fact that Jack blocks several blows rather crudely. Dempsey has not given great deal of attention to his defense, for he has been fighting big fellows who gave him every opportunity to driNe home his smashing wallops
 WOULDN'T RUN AWAY
 But l trust that the public will not gain the impression that l would try ta 6yht of q would be farther from the truth. That wouldn't decide the championship, neither would it help my record. Further, it is not the way to fight Dempsey. Making the champion miss continually and talk ing advantage of such failures to land clean wallops would be far more ef- fective.
 Dempsey is great fighter-Ill give him that. He has fought as champion should, but nevertheless, it has been mo- ticeable that Manager Kearns has not been inclined to arrange matches with smaller, faster men,
 Dempsey was overtrained when he fought Brennan. Bill had chance to win, but he wasn't clever or resourceful enough to avoid Dempsey's hooks. The blow that decided the battle travelled only a few inches. If Brennan had been able to fight faster pace, hit Dempsey harder and more often, he might have avoided the sleep producer. l don't think Dempsey can knock me out. What ] might do to him remains to be seen

KENTUCKY COLONEL
 AT COLUMBIA TODAY

In order to save his wife's good name, he was forced to rush up to the altar in the middle Of his only childs wedding, and stop the ceremony. Can you imagine the consternation of all the guests, the fright of the bride at this wild interruption, the indignation of the groom? Yet Frederick Vroom, as the Southern General, true to the traditions of country which places the honor of it's women above all else, was compelled to this act of cruelty.
 He had just received a stolen letter, written years ago by '"The Kentucky Colonel to the woman whose good name meant more to both than all else, which, because it had been tempered with, put the Colonel and the Generals wife in a bad light. In order to pre- vent this letter from becoming public property, the General was forced by the villon who held the letter to ure- vent the marriage of his young daugh- ter to the man of her choice.
 ''The Kentucky Colonel is pre- sented by an all-star cast, headed by the famous Joseph J. Bowling, .The Miracle Man of the Screen" Not since his tremendous success as the Patri- arch in The Miracle Man. has this talented actor scored such an over- whelminE success as that achieved by him in the title role of the stirring drama of the Blue Grass State ''The Kentucky Colonel will be shown at Mauk's Columbia theater for only
 two days beginning today.

COME SEVEN TO BE
 COMEDY BILL kT TIE
 ELKS ALL THIS WEEK

Come Seven,' the play of the stolen sparklers, crap shooting and the life of the southern negro in general will he the offering at the Elks theater all week starting with the matinee today at 2:30 and the patrons of the Eopular Washington street playhouse will have an opportunity of seeing their favor;tes of the Brandon Stock company in blaclsface makeup.
 Come Seven" revolves about the theft of a diamond and the substitution of a fake jewel in it's place. Good as the story is, the chief charm of the play is to be found in the accuracy with which Octavus Roy Cohen, the author, has depicted his characters. He has skillfully chosen types that are certain to appeal to the average person and presented them, with the aid of the plot of the comedy so that every possible bit of fun is got out of them. The Brandon Stock company should make a distinct hit in the parts that have been assigned to them. They are delighted at the prospects of being able [ to appear in black face. Mir.
