COMMENT

So Mike Gibbons wants to fight
thirty fights in thirty nights. Out
TO splinter a record.
Boozehghters. in the old days
were like that Just one battle
after another. And you remember
what they got7
Punished Usually thirty days q"
Gibbons. too. will be punished II
he carries out any such fool idea.
Prizehghters. like baseball pitchers
and race horses. need rest to keep
in condition.
Even though Mike should not be
physically wrecked by his strong
man stunt. and the possibility OF
that Is great. he is certain TO have
to bear in the future the humiliation
Of having been beaten by second
raters who would have been easy
picking for him had he been in
shape.
Yesterdays.
Morris Block, president OF the
San Antonio ball club, once let Iris
Speaker get away in the yesterdays
because he didn't think Spoke was
worth $50 a month.
Block released Jef Tesreau. also,
because he didn't think Jeff was
worth SIS a month.
Maybe they weren't. But Tesreau
became a star with the Giants. And
Speaker draws more salary every
day in the year than Block figured
he was worth in a month, some IL
years ago.
Advice.
Abe Mitchell, the British golfer
Of long driving fame. has introduced
a new slogan into the game.
II is-"Hit at the ball"
He says that the fault OF the aver
age golfer is that he pays more at
tention to his follow through" thai
he does at walloping the ball.
Mitchell holds a record OF drivini
for 314 yards
He practices what he breaches
That's a good reason to believe he q
right in his Hit at the ball'' slogan

There was Sam Deutsch. who

Then appeared Tommy McGinty.
who could raise the ante. He said
sixty thousand simoleans - and
Johnny signed his articles. In a
hurry.
The promoters. each with a one
man fght on his hands. got into a
wrangle. The Boxing Commission
ruled that Deutsch. nrst on the
ground. should have first call. But
McGinty stood aloof-and Kilbane's
name was on his articles while
Deutsch's we're blank.
A council OF war was held at
which Deutsch and his friends and
McGinty and his friends agreed 10
stage the affair together.
SO Johnny will fight for $4,000,
Frush will tight for s25O0. and the
promoters will-well. who can tell
