The Washington times., 1921-08-05

In ten rounds against the rugBea
and willing Augie Rather Gibbons de-
monstrated that he has made a mar
velous comeback. He was the winner
by such a wide margin that Rather
was practically left at the post, and
Rather is not q SLOUGH as q boxer or
puncher by any means.
Went An Around His Man.
Gibbons went around his man like
cooper around a keg. Much OF the
rpeed and cleverness that won him a
reputation as one Of the greatest box
ers of the age cropped out against
Rather, though the veteran Mike did
not have to extend himself to win. In
short, st. Pauls wizard boxer gave
Rather a valuable lesson in the
Queensbury art that many a young lad
coming up would be glad to pay for.
Michael has fought his way back to
form In actual ring contests. When he
determined to stage a comeback few
months ago, he made up his mind that
he would not expend energy In the
gymnasium that might be used In win
ming battles, and once he got his wind
and weight right he started his cam
paign. Since then he has been now
ing down opponents with clock-like
regularity.
Fights in Boston Tonight.
Tonight, in Boston. Gibbons will take
en- Gus Platts. the European middle
weight champion, in a ten-round bout.
On next Tuesday night he is scheduled
TO meet jeff Smith. the Bayonne boy,
IN a twelve-rounder at Jersey City and
on August 26th he will trek down to
New Orleans to take on Happy Lit
Teton I'm fifteen-round bout.
MY decision to stage comeback"
Gibbons explained to the writer, was
made when l discovered that 1 was
getting fat and losing ambition. /
thought I had enough of the ring but
soon found that idleness was doing
me more harm than good and I want
ed to feel good. After a fellow has

years he sort Of gets used to it and
when 1 found myself losing pep /
started to work again. That's about
all there is TO 1t. except that I have
always wanted TO be the middleweight

more campaign for the title"

However, Iris Speakers team is
fighting hard to repeat it's pennant
victory. The Griffs, in winning two
games yesterday, each by a score OF
8 to /. had to battle all the way. In
the first game they upset Stanley
bacon for Walter johnson only after
q tough contest.
Olaf Erickson, twirling the second
game. was a bit unsteady. but he made
up for this in effectiveness. The
Griffs won because Speaker started
Guy Morton. The big Indian pitcher
has only the Boston Red Sox as his
victim these days. He was pummeled
for three runs in the very first inning.
Ray Caldwell. the veteran right
handler, rushed to Morton's relief and
pitched beautifully to the end. He
held the Griffs to three hits and
squirmed out of holes In wonderful
fashion.
Can Take Others.
1t is possible for the Griffs to take
the remaining pair Of games from the
Indians. 1t is always difficult to stop
are the Griffs., So confident are they
that they are making mistakes and
getting away with them. Only win
ming teams can do that
Johnson, Mogridge and Zachary are
the only reliable fingers. The fourth
game of a series usually sees two or
three mediocre moundsmen throwing.
But in this Cleveland series, by the
injection of Olaf Erickson. the Griffs
have four excellent twirlers to send
against the foe. Olaf has unusual
ability when opposing the Indians.
Yesterday proved 1t. Therefore. both
Mogridge and Zachary remain for the
two games yet to be played. This Is
some hurdle for the Indians to take.
Washington fans are going mad
these days. They packed the stand
to suffocation yesterday and rooted all
the way. Some of them overstepped
the bounds, bawling out Umpire VII
son until 1t became monotonous. One
wild nut hurled a pop bottle at the
official. 1t came closer to injuring
Steve O'Neill than it did the umpire.
That fan should have been hustled to
the hoosegow, but no cop happened to
be anywhere near him and he es-
capped.
Mcbride Sees Game.
Manager Mcbride was SO far recov-
cred from his recent injury as to d.
rect the play from the nice cool bench.
He will be on the coaching line in
day or so. To say that he was de-
lighted with the double win goes with
out saying. He was tickled to his
toes.

Two Oldsters Playing
Great Baseball
These DAYS.

Two great oldsters are shining
at third base for American League
teams this year. Both are thirty
five years Of age, yet they are
about as good, as any of their
younger competitors. They are
Frank Baker, with the New York
Yankees, and Larry Gardner, here
with the Cleveland Indians.
Baker returned to the Yanks
this season after Aaron Ward had
made good there. Some thought
Bake" would never succeed in
busting his younger rival. But
Ward went to second base and
Baker is holding his own at the
Larry Gardeners steady work
and timely clouting makes him one
of the most valuable cogs in the
Cleveland diamond machine. He
shows no signs of slowing up.
And both Baker and Gardner are
thirty-five years old.

With the passing on of Louis Mar

ment to remember that rare gentle
mans contribution to the life here
during the last decades. 1t is remem-

first resort for New Workers of bo-
hemian taste. In the late eighties, 1t
was the only place where a lady might
smoke cigarette and not be beyond
the pale. This fact provoked oliver
Herford to write his famous "Women
of the Better Glass" which did not ac-
cept unreservedly the practice. From

One resident claims she keeps her
maid by purchasing suitable phono-
graph records to encourage the SER
want in staying on the job. She sets
four new records month as the re-
quired minimum for keeping up the
interest. Housekeeping, l suppose,
like dancing, is simply a matter of
rythm. Certainly there is the waltz
strain in the process of hopping a
floor and fox trot would suggest the
def movement required in flicking
the ashes off the mahogany centre

in jazzing up his postal employees,

The Times is pleased to note, in a
special sent out from Jefferson City,
under date of March 10Th, J. L. Wiki
inson and o. l.. Munger, Of Piedmont,
have made a proposition to the State
of Missouri to give to this common
wealth a tract of 10000 acres of land
lying near Piedmont, and which the
owners value at 100000, for the nom
inal sum of $4,000, which the pro-
posed donors claim they have paid out
in taxes and improvements on this
vast domain. The owners further
claim that this land, most Of which Is
still in its virgin state, abounds in
game, and that Black river which runs
through it, is full of game fish. These
things being true, an ideal preserve is
already there for the claiming. This
proposition impresses The Times far
more favorably than the much talked
of Hahatonka tract, in Camden county,
for which much larger sum is asked
from the State.
