ed to wrest the National leagus
pennant from the New York Giants.
local fandom is in a distinctly dif-
ferent mood than it was a year ago
In 1921, Manager Gibson's war
riors came down the home stretch
with a commanding lead-and then
blew up with a report that was
heard throughout organized base
ball. Pennant hopes faded away
with the Giants rush, and local
supporters gave vigorous vent %
their disappointment.
Gibson got away poorly this yeaf.
A change of managers resulted.
From the week that Bill Mckech-
ME became skipper, distinct in
provement was noted. From the
middle Of July, Pittsburgh played
like a championship team and rec
ords show that the Corsairs made
the greatest record in the League
from that turning point.
The Giants lead was too mucn-
however, and local fans must wal
another year. And they are, seeE'
ingly, confident that 1929 will be
the scene of triumphs such as were
recorded at Forbes Field wnen
Fred Clarke's men became chSm-
pions of the world.

Ton, Gibbons Keeps Up Fight
lii Face OF Telegram Telling
Of The Death OF His Fathers

New York, Oct 14.-(By The As
sociated Press are told
about actors sometimes going out
on the stage after they have re-
ceived news Of the death of hus-
band or wife, reciting their regu-
lar lines and making Indifferent
folk feel happy and laugh. Prob
ably those stories are true. Any one
of the crowd that filled Madiso /
Square Garden last night and saw
Tommy Gibbons of st. Paul lost
on foul to Billy Miske, his fellow
townsman, in the 10th round of
their bout that was to go Is rounds
probably will believe so today.
They looked on the sort of courage
a fighting man is rarely called on
to show, but few Of them knew 1t
then.
Only few of that bowling crowd
saw a uniformed messenger bow
creep up to Gibbons corner during
the seventh round and cautiously
getting his signature Of receipt
first, slip a yellow envelope into
the hand of Eddie Kane, Gibbons
manager. Gibbons saw it, out OF
the corner of his eye as he slashed
out and sulgged, and he knew.
When Tommy came to his corner
at the end Of the seventh round he
sank calmly on his stool and asked
Kane:
What does 1t say"
What does what say! the man
ager countered, his face flushing.
"Oh, all right" Gibbons answered
''but l know"
| The remainder of the fight de-
tails don't matter much. Tommy
went on, slamming away, fighting
cleverly, craftily, feinting' his op
ponent into leads that lead only &c
| punishment, until a twist of fate
in the tenth caused Gibbons righl
fist to fall below Miske's belt and
Miske to fall upon the floor and the
battle stopped.

nv ri. HUGHES.

Determined to run up as large
score as possible. the Independents
will take to the field tomorrow at
Douglas park against the Evansville
Giants with blood in their eyes.
The game is scheduled to start at
3 o'clock, and from all indications
there will be . large crowd on
hand.
In the last two games there have
not been enough scores to satisfy
the bosses, Every effort to tune up
the scoring machine was put forth
this week. Evansville may show
unexpected strength, but IL the In
dependents play with the speed
they are capable Of, victory should
perch on their shoulders by a sub
stantial margin.
Il will be recalled that in former
years 1t took a defeat early in the
season by some strong eleven to
put the Independents on the right
track. This season should be no
exception. The addition Of "Ollie''
9Kraehe adds considerable defensive
strength to the team, it is believed.
He is a powerfully built young fell
low, graced with plenty Of speed.
" The Evansville players have been
recruited from southern college
fields, and from all indications are
expected to put up a creditable bat
tie against the Independents. The
Indiana crew is composed mostly OF
big fellows, from which is derived
the name of Crimson Giants.
Bobby Kahn Of Chicago has beer
appointed by the league to referee
the game. 1t is hoped that he will
prove a better officer than the In
dependents have had In their last
two games.

Practically No Changes in the
Leadership of American League
Teams in 1928 Will Be Effected

er contenders for the pennant than
St Louis, which like New York,
will need some strong tonic to help
out the pitchers.
Last year there was much guess
ing at this time of year as to who
would lead the teams. This year,
attacks upon managers resulted in
putting an end to any mystery that
might have hung over the situa-
ton. Before the season of 1922
got into the ydoldrums it will be
remembered that there were
threats of rebellion in ST. Louis.
The Browns, some of them, were
afflicted with the idea that they
knew more than their manager,
Fohl. Things got to such a point
that it was deemed advisable to
come out with the fiat statement
that Foil would manage the team
in 1923. After that there was an
end to the picking on Fohl and of
criticism Of the manager by his
own players at least in public. The
latter decided discretion was the
better part of valor if they wanted
a raise in salary for 1928.
The last game of the season had
not been played before the Wolves
were trailing Higgins. They have
been after him ever since he has
been in New York and yet his stew
ardship has been one of repeated
successes. He has never had TIE
team out of the first division. Per
sonally he seems to have acquired
the dislike Of some but neverthe.
less he is sterling, staunch
straightforward ball player and
man. He unquestionably has beer
q better manager than his critics
are willing to concede.
To stop all argument and with
the same effect on players in view
which followed the announcement
of Foil, Higgins went through the
Formally of signing a 1923 con.
tract.

BIZ FAIR PLAY.

\SORy A6ASy 4SS3t ~ NC ga . Aost
New York, N. Y, Oct 14.-There
was every indication today that the
New York state boxing commission
would investigate charges of fake
that were made by many regarding
the Miske-Gibbons fight at Madison
Square garden last night. There is
every reason why the investigation
should be made.
Excepting one round, the ninth,
Gibbons made Miske look like q
dub. He hit Miske every time he
let go, and his blows were placed
with the exactness Of champion
billiard player in a championship
match. There we're scores Of times
that Gibbons blows were in the
right spot to put Miske to sleep,
but sufficient steam wasn't behind
them. Miske landed occasionally,
but nine-tenths Of his blows were
pushed aside to slide down Glib
bons' arms, or Gibbons deity
stepped aside or ducked.
No one could be found today,
even including the referee, who
L saw the so-called foul in the 10th,
in which Miske was awarded the
decision. The boxing commission
today had put up to it the problem
of determining the question of
whether a foul was really made or
whether Miske deliberately quit. II
had been hoped that the fight would
determine a real winner to fight
Floyd johnson, who beat Bob Mar
tin last week. Then the next step
was for the winner Of the johnson
fight to meet Bill Brennan, and the
victor Of that scrap to meet Demp-
sey.
If Miske can do no better against
Johnson than he did against Glib
bons Friday night, it would be a
farce for him to fight Johnson. He
did absorb considerable punish
ment about the face, but that kind
Of fighting doesn't lead to title
scraps.
In announcing the signing up Of
Sid Marks and Charley White fol
fight at the garden, Oct. 20, Tex
Richard said today that hereafter
all who fight at his club must dc
the last four or five days Of theil
f! training in the garden gymnasium
He said today he made this decision
in order to make sure that the
fighters are in good condition, anf
to preclude the possibilities of sucf
set-up fights as Harry Wills indulg
ed in some weeks back, The plar
has the hearty approval of the box
ing commission.
Incidentally the Marks White
bout ought to be a good one. Boil
are likely lightweights, and boil
are hitters as well as boxers. Marks
knocked out Bobby Barrett in
minute SO seconds. It took Charlie!
White three rounds to do the same
thing, and Lew Tender was stall
ed off for six rounds before HI
could put Bobby to sleep.

Evansville has been pat-onizing
its professional team for a number
of years. The Crimson Giants, as
the team is known, perhaps have
not enjoyed the success that the In
dependents have but who knows
their real strength? 1t is known
that the management has gone to
several extremes to procure the
best talent available and is fully
expectant of cutting a wide swath
in the National Football league
this fall. The fact that the team
is considered worthy of franchise
in the organization speaks to some
extent of its ability.

b. There is enough uncertainty
about the Evansville team to
attract the interest of every
follower of the Independents.
First of all, Evansville is 400
miles away and naturally little
or nothing has filtered through
to Rock Island anent her pro-
gress in the professional foot
ball arena. This cannot be
taken to mean, however, that
Evansville therefore is not to
be considered seriously as a
contender against the Rock Is
land crew. Too often has some
obscure football team upset the
best Of intentions.
