two punch he used in winning over
| Monk Fowler at Great Falls two weeks
ago, Earl France, lightweight defeated

12-round main event of a boxing card
here tonight. Cassidy held France to
draw in the first two rounds, but
distinguished himself principally dur
ing the remainder of the bout by alb
sorbing terrific punishment. Cassidy
I saved himself from knockout by
hanging on during the last seven
rounds.
Cassidy was badly punished by the
! coast man. In the fifth round France
closed his opponents right and after
that the fight was nothing but France.
Cassidy's only hope for better show
ing disappeared with his inability to
connect with France =. in the rushes
Cassidy substituted for Bobby Ward
! who signed up to met France and then
disappeared.
Frances one-two blows was worked
to even better advantage than against
Fowler, who solved it in the seventh
round and thereafter held the western
champion to an even break despite the
difference in weight. Against Cassidy
France had no difficulty in opening the
way for hard right by landing first
on the Irishman's chin with the left.
Nearly every time the maneuver car
ried through to Cassidy's distress,
Cassidyo protected himself as much as
possible by hanging on, but France time
after time threw his man off his
guard with left and then ripped the
right over Cassidy's guard for a clean
count. The match was referred by Jim

Special Correspondence of The TRIBUNE

Copyright, 1921, by The Tribune.
New York, July 2.-When will the
oext battle for the heavyweight cham
pionship of the world take place? 1t
is pretty early to answer this question.
But since Tex Richard has strangle-
bold on the game of big promotion, the
chances are he will again be the i'm
,pressario and that the big amphithe-
alter on Boyle Thirty Acres or a SIM
liar space will be the scene.
There are now several men who
loom as contestants, whereas after
Dempsey won over Willard two years
ever held the title-no outstanding op
ponent at all. But now there are sew
eral men who think they have chance
to win the worlds title and each has a
following who share their optimism.
As Fast as Carpenter.
;. Tom Gibbons of st. Paul. who since
last winter has come into the limelighI
as q formidable knocker- out of second
and third rate pugilists. is regarded as
the outstanding contender. Gibbons is
rs fast as Carpenter, hits as well. and
Is hard man to hurt. Indeed he gives
Every appearance of being able to stand
up under a beating.
Whether he can take the corner is
not known because his cleverness thus
far saved him. As a hitter there can
be no doubt about him at all. He deals
In short blows and does not leave him
self open. To date he has great
many knockouts to his credit.
Harry Greb is another possibility.
Ever since Dempsey won his title the
Pittsburgh light heavyweight has been
trying to hook up with Dempsey but
was unable to gain recognition. Harry
Is fast and clever and can take punish
ment. His hitting, though, leaves some
thing to be desired or at least this has
been the case in past bouts. Just now
be looks light, appears more Of mid
weight than light heavyweight. AS a
matter of fact he told the writer the
other day that he would have no diff
culty in fighting at 100 pounds.
. Jess May Be Grooming.
Jess Willard is another man who
may come up for consideration. It
will be recalled that he was to have
met Dempsey in New York last spring
but the bout was sidetracked in favor
Of the Dempsey Carpenter match Lit
tie has been heard of Jess lately and
the Kansas magnate may or may not
be grooming himself for some future
business engagement. But Jess never
did care for training and all the
chances are that he has not attempted
to keep down the layers of fat that
cover an athlete year after year, after
he has retired from activity.
If he were to attempt to come back
his first course would be to fight
oumber of second raters and the de-
cisive victories over them convince the

Race Promoters Defy
Missoula Churches
and Rankin's Opinion

Helena, July 2.-Word has been re.
ceived in Helena that the promoters
of the program at the Missoula fair
grounds had decided not to call off the
races scheduled for Sunday at the race
track even though Attorney General
Rankin has held that racing on Sun
day at a race track is in violation of q
state law.
The promoters claim they have
sought legal advice and their lawyers
do not agree with the Interpretation of
the attorney general that Sunday rae
ing is prohibited-whether by foot,
horse or auto. The ruling was made as
a result Of the bitter controversy
stirred up by the churches in oppo-
sition to the Fourth of July sports
scheduled for Sunday.

Baseball Magnates Are Waking
Up to Gambling Evil,
Says Sanborn.
BY !. e. SANBORN.
Special Correspondents of The Tribune

Chicago, July Baseball magnates
seem at last to have awakened to 4
danger which has been preached tt
them for years, existing in the So
called baseball pools,'' which are moth.
ing else but lottery schemes under =
new name. There is concerted move
ment, headed by Commissioner Lands
10 put curb on this evil if possible.
But the pools are operated outside
the jurisdiction Of the ball parks, con-
sequently the aid Of civil or federal au-
thorities is needed to eradicate the sore
spot. 1t may be necessary to go to
congress and to the state legislatures
to obtain laws to handle the situation,
voked to cover interstate transactions
against them, only they don't know It.
Politicians Protect Pools.
City governments are not likely to
lend much assistance, for in Chicago,
ut least, it is pretty well known that
some of the biggest pools are operated
to the profit of leading politicians. The
city authorities. consequently. find
their hands tied when it comes to deal
Ing with pools.
An instance is recalled during the
first grand. jury Investigation OF base,
ball gambling. which finally conferred
alleged pool operators were examined,
but none was indicted because there
was no proof that any citizen ever had
purchased pool ticket from any of
them. 1t is the simplest thing in the
world to get that kind Of evidence if
the authorities desire it.
=. There is no secrecy about the sale
Of pool tickets One does not have to
be identified, as is the case if one de-
Eires shot Of hootch or a glass of
more than nearbeer. The sale of pool
tickets is open, and plenty of evidence
Fan be acquired in one day, if that were
all that were necessary to stop their
sale.
Baseball pools are a greater danger
than the other kinds of gambling, be-
rause they rob the purses Of those who
are least able to stand the losses. No
man will risk $50 or 500 on the result
Of ball game unless he knows some
thing about baseball. and can afford to
lose the coin, as rule. But the base
ball pool is lottery pure and simple.
Odds Against Buyer.
It requires no knowledge of the
game, for the combinations are picked
lottery feature appeals to thousands
who are willing to risk a quarter or
half dollar at odds Of about l to 100
against them, only thew don't know it.
Legislation against racing was not
the result of the losses Of the big gam
llers, but because the handbooks robbed
she pay envelopes Of the poorer classes.
The same thing applies to baseball
pools. Unless the evil is curbed, the
promoters of professional baseball will
be fighting, in few years, at most,
against adverse legislation, and the ma
TONS pastime will encounter the same
obstacle now placed in the way Of rae
mg 'ip 50 many states.

ssi sisomething very fine has happenec

Something very fine has happened in the annals of the Maccabees of Birmingham.
 It's pay office has been moved.
 Heretofore. the big, busy office, which is visited each month by 772 menSand 900 women. who go to pay their lodge indebtedness, will not compel anybody to walk up steps.
 It has been moved to the twen- tieth floor of the Jefferson County Bank building. Previously the of- flee was on the third floor of the Roden building.
 However, the lodge rooms have not been moved, meetings being held at the old headquarters eachj Monday night.
 This brings us face to face with the fact that, locally,Nthe Maccabees all the time are increasing in mem- bership. and reaching out big broth erly hands to insure and take care of those who seek it's protection.
 For protection 1t is and, based on the principles for which it stands 1t Is hearty, sympathetic, fraternal love it extends, and those who be- long to 1t are the boys" That's the way they all talk about one an- other.
 The organization. which has now the enormous um-of s25,000. 900 in reserve, has this unique distinction:
 Safety First
 It gave to the world the slogan. Safety First,' which was voiced at it's convention in Detroit in 1904. At that convention the Maccabees went very deeply into all the affairs of the club. speaking most often of how safety first was their platform, must ever be, and was the best foun-
