troops have Just suffered a crushing
defeat, was scheduled to hold an i'm

statesmen today.
King Calls Council.
The king. mindful of the republican
movement. which has received power.
full impetus by the Spanish reverscs
In Morocco, has called what virtually
amounts to, a crown council.
"A az1panwhile, according to the latest
news from Madrid. the Spanish gov
ernment and the various municipal
authorities are fearing disturbances,
as the national sentiment Is greatly
aroused by the latest developments in
Morocco.
The war news from Morocco ts be-
coming steadily more serious. The in.
surgent forces are increasing daily.
They have been augmented by thou.
sands of Moroccans who had been
engaged In harvesting work In Algeria
when the insurrection broke out and
who promptly returned to their native
land TO help In the long agitated war
of liberation" The chief reason for
rebellion given by spokesmen of the
insurgents is the charge that the
Moroccans have been treated badly
by Spain.

AVOID MEETING
TOMMY GIBBONS
st. Paul Phantom Would
Like Battle With
Carpenter.

NEW YORK, March "A reputa-
tion as a great boxer-fighter is not
the most profitable thing in the
world.
Take 1t from Tommy Gibbons,
who knows all about it. There was
a time when they used to speak Of
Tommy as the brother of Mike. In
those days the famous st Paul
Phantom" was an active star. while
Tommy was just coming along.
Today Tommy has made a repu-
tation for speed, punching power
and cleverness Of which he may
well be proud, butt isn't getting
him much action. despite the fact
that he Is one of the most popular
boxers in the country with hstic
fans and promoters.
Fact of tn ematter is just this
eligible opponents for Gibbons don't
like to crawl under the same ropes
with him more than once as rule.
And most of them have the first
time to do 1t.
As a middle weight, Gibbons man.
aged to keep fairly busy. They
couldn't come too tough" for him.
He fought George Chip a number OF
times when Chip was champion OF
the class. and outpointed him In no.
decision bouts. Later, when Tommy
found himself, he was unable to get
Al Mccoy to meet him, and Mike
O'Dowd was never very strong for
the Gibbons family when it came
to fighting in the ring.
Eddie Kane, who has handled the
affairs of the Gibbons brothers for
years, noticed one day that Tommy
was rapidly filling out, and got a
hunch.
"wh. not step out Of the middle
weight division and go after the
light t-heavy-weights?" he said to
Tom. And Gibbons promptly agreed,
He went even further. by suggest
ing to Kane that the heavy-weights
would be acceptable. So he took
the flop. As a starter, Gibbons and
Kane went to Europe to seek
matches with Joe Beckett, Bombar-
dier Wells. Georges Carpenter. and
others. The failed to get a single
match. Beckett and Wells both re-
fused to meet Gibbons, and Carpen-
tier was alread tied up with Charles
3. Cochran.
Coming back to the states they
sought matches wherever they
could find them and during the last
seven e. eight months Gibbons has
found the situation among the
light-heavy-weights, and even the
heavies. much the same as that
which he faced among the l60-
pounders-most OF them are "out
and won't be back" when Tommy
calls.
Gibbons weighs 175 pounds in
good condition today and he doesn't
bar anybody. He is as heavy as
Georges Carpenter and there is
nothing he would like more than
to get the Frenchman into the ring.
With Carpenter tied up until July
| .. Gibbons must content himself
with chasing the remainder Of the
field. however. and he hopes Ia
catch up with a few of them be-
tween now and mex. fall. by which
time he has visions of a chance to
talk turkey" for a crack at the
heavyweight title.
