Tom, Hailed as Better
Fighter Than Brother
Mike, Boxes at Pioneer

A new heavyweight who is on the
trail of worlds champion Jack Demp-

bout of the Pioneer Sporting Club to-
night. This is Tom Gibbons, the young
brother of Mike, the st. Paul Flash.
we'll known here as master of the mid
diewelghts in the days IF the Frawley
law. Tom Gibbons will box Paul Sam
son, the Harlem heavyweight, in the
ffteen-round feature.
Tom Gibbons is much bigger man
than Mike, though several years
younger. Mike developed him and
taught him all he knew.
Tom will he the next heavyweight
champion" said Mike yesterday. die
has the size and the speed and the hit
ting ability. He will get bigger, too,
and by the time he hooks up with
Dempsey will possess decided physical
advantages over the title holder.
Mike Makes Confession
II always admitted that Tom was
better man than l." Mike continued
"He is natural fighter; close stu
dent of the game. 1t didn't take him
long to master all the fine tricks. When
he first started out he was green, of
course, but New York will see in him
now the finished product. The way he
stopped Al Reich in Cleveland the other
night was masterpiece of science and
clean hitting. He's on the way to the
top; make no mistake"
This will be the first appearance of
Tom Gibbons in local ring. His eff
forts have been confined principally to
the Middle West, out around his home
town of st. Paul Tom won his first
five bouts with knockouts. There is
every obje,t for him to add the scalp
of Sampson, as victory will assure him
two more victims. Charlie Doesserick

Sampson away.
Two middleweights, Frank Carpen-
ter and Johnny Smith, will furnish the
ten round semi-tinal tonight.
