been altogether wrong 1t has ad-
vised against following stocks up on
the buying side. 1t has constantly
said that there would be plenty of
airy reaction that was looked for.
Consequently it has missed the mar
ket on the upside and has lost money
fighting the advance.
Yet after all the upward swing is
perfectly intelligilse to those who
that prices were being carried alb
surdly low: that they were going
down as much below true values as
in the excited speculation of 1919
they had gone above the value line.
The market of November and De-
cember was a panic market. 1t was
governed by the necessities of the
sellers. of a lot of people. most OF
them rich. who had to unload to
cover loss incurred in the tremen-
dous fall of securities and commodl-
ties At the same time many stocks
were sold to establish tax losses and
a good portion were not bought back.
As soon as this liquidation ceased.
as it did very abruptly with the be-
ginning of the new year, the market
started in at once to correct the ex-
cesses of the decline. and the 10 to
a week is simply. measure of the
extent to which Wall street had
overdiscounted the business depres-
sion outside.
Market Responds Quickly.
1t is all we'll enough to say that
this is no time for much of an up-
swing: that there has been no great
amount of Improvement as yet in
trade conditions: that there are
too many uncertainties ahead. But
against this two things have to be
borne in mind: First. the whole
country for a year. with hardly any
interruption, has been selling stocks.
1t has been unloading them all the
way down in the course of a~3O to
SO point break. This has meant
great multitude waiting for the first
signs of n turn to replace holdings
that were liquidated much higher up.
1t is not surprising certainly that
buying power of such dimensions
once it did come in-should have had
startling results: second. the stock
market does not wait for trade inn
provement to actually get under way.
All it wants to be satisfied of is
that the worst is over. and that bust
ness recovery in all probability is
but a few months off. 1t then begins
to discount the better times. What
we have seen during the last ten
days is price movement registering

THEY ALL TUMBLE
WHEN TOM GIBBONS
EXCHANGES BLOWS
Eddie Kane's Meal Ticket Has
Caused Father Time to
Check Up Many K. O.'s.

It's the bad news, it is, for any
battler when his manager, with eX-
tended chest, comes strutting up and
smacks the young contender on the
spine and smilingly says: well,
kid, I gotcha matched for the 25th,
with Tommy Gibbons"
For it's always the same mono
tonous story in those fights.
The light dims. there is dull
ringing in the ears; it is hard TO
swallow. Before his face an arm is
slowly rising, falling, fading-then
all is dark. Old Man Time vets the
end of his pencil and records another
X. o. under the name of Thomas
Gibbons.
Who can stay with Gibbons?
Possibly two men-Jack Dempsey
and Carpenter We doubt if Bren-
nan or Miske could do it. Willie
Meehan, the fat boy who stayed with
Dempsey, missed the crowd after
the first round Of his fight with Glib
bons
Gibbons will fight anybody. Eddie

Whoever comes along, says Eddie
Tommy hangs 'em on the ropes.
Another wise manager around the
village, Jimmy Bronson, Bob Martins
boss, says he would rather put Bob
against Dempsey than Glib, and that
is saying a mouthfuI.
Not so long ago Tommy was a
middleweight. But he grew and was
tutored by his brother, Mike, one Of
the greatest middleweights that ever
resined a foot.
Since Feb. 10 last, Tommy has
fought 16 battles. And he wound
up every one of them with a X. O.
Seven have been one-round sleepers,
four have been two-rOunders, three
three-rounders and one four-rounder.
The only guy to stick any length Of
time was Porkey Flynn; he stayed
for Il rounds last April
There is no trick to how Gibbons
does it. He is quick, light and scien-
tihc. Where Dempsey uses strength
to break through a guard, Gibbons
uses speed.
All Business.
He IS business all the way through.
in the ring and out. He is out to
win. and that's half his success at
kayoins.
In the dressing room before enter.
ing the ring, he always works a lit
tie with Eddie Kane as his target.
They pick the opponent Of the night
to pieces, decide on the style Of fight
ing to be used and practice it dill
gently.
During the time Gibbons is in the
ring. before the bell gets EN- away.
he paws little or no attention TO his
opponent. He seldom smiles unless

ringside. He does no talking
Before leaving his corner to an

hands with Eddie and they wish each
other luck. The seconds remove the
chairs and from that time on do not
enter the ring. They're used only
10 put the chair up and the water
bucket in place. always staying on
the ground. For Gibbons and Kane
decided long ago that flaming be
tween rounds did more harm than
good.
Gibbons is one Of those likable sort
OF chaps-the Dempsey type-a great
big. smiling. good-hearted boy.
He's matched TO meet Carpenter
this winter for the light-heavyweight
cham ionship, and Tex Richard, fol-
lowing this scrap, probably VIII give
him a crack at Jack Dempsey's
