Gibbons and Brennan Loom as Most Formidable Con- tenders for Champion Jack DempSey'S Crown
By JAMES J. coRBETT

Now that Jack Dempsey has ef- faced Georges Carpenter from the list of rivals, the sportive world looks around for some one who can give him his next fight.
 Bill Brennan, Tom Gibbons-those two are the most conspicuous among the white battlers in harness today. Frank Moran is far too old. and cer- tainly too poor battler to be fig ured to have even the slightest chance with Dempsey. The youthful Bob Martin is good man, and IS coming along nicely, but he must learn a little more about the ring game, must get more experience and overcome certain faults before he can be seriously considered.
 Jess Seems Out of 1t
 It's doubtful if Jess Willard ever beyond 40 now He hasn't had glove on in two years. He has fought only three or four times in eight years. lie showed in the battle Tn Toledo that he was a poor champion and a mark for Dempsey. So he can be disregarded.
 Fred Fulton seems to want an other chance. But it's unlikely that any promoter will match him again with the champion. The tall plas- terer showed absolutely nothing against Dempsey except ability to go down and out in near to record time. He seemed beaten before he got into the ring. And certainly if he was afraid before he was whipped then, he surely would be more so after taking a beating.
 Gibbons and Brennan
 All of which swings us back 10 Gibbons and Brennan No one knows just how good Gibbons really is. But he must be good if he can knock

From The Nations Business.
 Time was when the secretary of the local chamber of commerce was merely a handshaker, a booster, or was generally so regarded. That time is past Nowadays his work is professional He no longer merely holds a town job--there Is open to him a career. The distinctive mark of a profession, such as the law or medicine or the army. Is that, while those engaged in 1t gain their livell- hood from 1t. they are interested in more than its pecuniary aspects. They are interested in the opportunities which it affords them for public ser- vice, and are concerned with any ac- tion which may impair the standing of the profession or the integrity of the group with the public. For that reason they have developed profes- s:onal standards. The opprobrium which attaches to the word uapro- fessional indicates the social signifi- canoe as well as the potency of pro- fessional standards.

Moley's Men Have Off Day Today-ProCeeds Go to
 Unemployed Tomorrow

When the Barons meet the Chat tanooga Lookouts at Redwood park tomorrow afternoon, double interest will be centered around the game. In, addition to the usual interest in the outcome of all games played by the Barons, eyes of Birmingham will be focused on the attendance of the day, as almost all the proceeds go to the fund for Birminghanl's unemployed.
 All of the Barons' share of the re- ceipts will be turned over to the emergency relief committee, of which Col. T. O. Smith is chairman. The Chattanooga Lookouts have gener- ously agreed to take only the average days receipts, s4oO. With the excep~ tion of this amount, the total pro ceeds of the game will go to Bir- mingham's unemployed.

Lola Taylor yesetr1ay mailed five tickets to each member of the club, asking her to dispose of this amount. As she has already had many calls for more tickets from club members, it seems that prospects for large at tendance at the game tomorrow are bright.
 Miss Maud Gambill, popular mem Der of the Business and Professional Women's club, will pitch the first ball tomorrow.
 The Industrial School Boys band will furnish music for the occasion and will give a concert half an hour before the game.
 A Gala Day
 It promises to be a gala day for Birmingham fandom, and a tremen- dous crowd is expected to turn out for the affair. Although local merchants and proprietors fisve not been asked to close shop for the day, it is un- derstood that many are to permit their employees to attend the game if they so desire.
 War tax exemption has been grant ed by John D. MeNeel Even the con cession man, Mir. Lacey, w:ll turn over the days profits to the fund. All "dopes" and peanuts purchased at Redwood will be doing their bit for the funo, as everything above expenses will be turned over to the emergency relief committee by Mir. Lacey.

Dummy" Darlington to Get Crack at Memphis Boxer
 in Ten-Round Go

Birmingham boxing fans will have m opportunity to witness one of )ixie's best mitt weilders in action vhen Dummy" Mckinney of Mem ,his clashes with Dummy" Bar ington, local welterweight, in a To- ound bout at the Athletic club next Monday night, July IS.
 Dummy" McKinnley has for many months been knocking 'em cold in he welterweight ranks, and is claim to be Dixie champion in this class ivy his admirers. Since the retire. nent of Jake Able of Atlanta from the ring there does seem to be grounds for claiming that McKinnley IS southern welterweight champion, for the Memphis boy has been cutting a wide swat in his class the past few months.
 Harrington Not Loafing.
 Barringtonh as been idle about two weeks now, but he has not let up in his training. Tommy tompl1ins has been keeping his charge at work and states that Harrington will be in good shape for the bout next Monday
 The local lad has shown more stuff each time out than the last one, and if he continues to improve as he has the past few weeks he will be about ready for the long talked of tour of the middle west.
 The Real Test
 The bout with Mckinney will be a real test for Burlington. If the local boxer can stand up against the heavy hitting Mempihan, he will certainly prove his ability to hold his own with the toughest in his class, for that's what Nc Kinney is, one of the real pattlers in Dixie's welterw eight di-. vision.
 A good six-round semi final bout will be scheduled. as well as a couple of preliminary matches.
 There has been no boxing in Bir- ningham for couple of weeks now, and local fans are about primed for genuine battle, such as two good boxers like Burlington and Mckinney are capable of staging.

St. Paul Heavyweight Is Not Rushing Into Any Bouts

 New York, July 9.-It is certain that Tex Rickard is going to put on Georges Carpenter in q fight this fall. But Tex told the writer today that he IS not so certain who the opponent will be. That will depend upon a lot of things which will hap 1t is up to Rickard to put out hts, eight sheet posters and begins to Whoop up his show.
 Gibbons' Claims Are High
 Just at present Rickard says that Tom Gibons' claims are pressing high, that is to say the claims of Toms firends. For Tom hasn't said any thing and neither has his manager, Eddie Kane. Tom Is young fellow carefully working his way toward the heavyweight championship. Just now he is not taking any shy in the direction of Jack Dempsey and does not intend to--not for a while, any, way. Many a coming champion has been killed off by injudicious match ing before he was ready for the bouts. Eddie Hanlon, of the west coast, was a champion in the mak-, iAS II ''iSAc SFoi "oS oic, put no was fought to death before he was twenty.
 Not In n Rush
 It would not be at all surprising if Gibbons advisers did not rush him. into d match with the Frenchman till they had put him over some more strenuous jumps than he has been having of late. It is indeed on the cards that the St. Paul knocker- out and Greb may be matched in what is likely to amount to an elimination contest for the honor and glory-and E'oney-of meeting Georges Carpen- tier. Greb certainly has claims on a match with Georges that Rickarh ought not to overlook.
 But on paper 1t looks as though Gibbons would make the better fight if only because he has q ha arder uyncb

years. The act on our part would nor only rehabilitate Europe and world business. but it would be blessing that would reach every fireside in America.
 We could say to England: You owe us s5.O00, ,0O0,0 900. If you will can eel s10 900, 0Oe, 900 of the debt due you from France, Italy and the other na- tions. then we will cancel the s5.000,- 900, 900 you owe us." (Of course, the wea aker and poorer the nation the greater the discount) We can say the same to France, Italy and all the other nations. as the case may be.
 By this act of ours. easily within our power, we could not only pay our just share of the cost of the war. but we could lay the foundation of addod wealth and greatness in the future.
 In the business world, when ner- chant is unable to pay, his creditors get together and compromise his debts. Then they set him upright on his feet again. It Is often the case that he rectifies his past mistakes and becomes real success.
 The bankrupt merchant on our hands today is civilization-and not to grant this compromise may mean to destroy him forever. and in his destruction also work our own un- doing.
 Let us declare for real armistice. where the people of all nations will be our guests. where the new order Of international justice will preside, where hope will be the toastmaster at the banquet, and let us as the big brother to the world take that white banner. which we should forever hold aloft and wave 1t with its radi- ant loveliness unmarred by the mark off the golden eagle!
