has been sharply lower. Between jan

at st. Louis dropped 23A cents and
May wheat 27A cents a bushel, with the
spot article 33 to "a cents lower. Flour
during the same period declined 81 to 81

to the public of foodstuffs based on
wheat.
There are other indications that the
consumer is coming into his own.
Canned vegetables, fruits and fish
have been readjusted to a level par

Unemployment in the lines based

Foundry and mill operations are at

fact is holding back the placement

TOMMY GIBBONS SUCCEEDS DESPITE GREAT HANDICAP
ST. PAUL BATTLER ON TOP IF HE STOPS CARPENTER

Even when he knocked out Willie
Meehan. a feat that Jack Dempsey
failed to do three time. he got no
credit. The cries OF n 'set-up' still
persisted.
The writer knows that Tom Glib
bons never sought a "set-up" in his
life. and he never held out for a big
purse. He tried to get Al Roberts.
and failed. Charley weinert ran
away from him. Finally he got
Larry Williams. a big tough fellow.
and he got $500 for knocking him
out when the poorest boxers in New
York were getting three and four
thousand dollars from Tex Richard.
Tom then signed a contract to
meet any opponent the promoters
could get for him for a 15-round
bout at Ebbet's field. The pro-
moters wired him to write the name
Of BARLEY Madden in the contract.
When he arrived in New York he
found hat Madden would not sign
and that Jack Clifford. a sparring
partner OF the champion. had been
secured. He had 10 meet Clifford
and he knocked him out.
Bin Brennan wanted s45. 900 to
meet the st. Pau boy. Leo Flynn
frankly admitted that Brennan
stood for another bout with Denp-
sep and that he wanted big money
IL the Chicago boy was to be
knocked off.
The carpentierG ibbons match
then looked like n winner to Tex
Richard. because sentiment all over
the country. n especially among
real fans in New York favored the
match.
Stories were then widely ~circulat-
ed in New York that Gibbons had
the gall to ask SIS. 900. The real
fact OF the ease is that Gibbons
never asked for a cent. Richard
asked Eddie Kane. his manager. and
Kane told him that he would not
accept a flat guarantee and hat he
would work only on a percentage
basis. The contract was signed on
this basis.
Tommy has never opened his
mouth in protest at the knocks
against him. No doubt he knew
that he could get to the top in spite
of the barriers put up against him
and he is there now.
He ought to beat Carpenter.
From the sentiment heard around
New York and out through the
country he will enter the ring the
favorite.
