ynent 80 far as all other armories are
concerned by new section of the
regulations which forbids tho holding
OF professional boxing. The case of
the lo2d Regiment armory seems to
be an exception, Of course, for TIE
Republic A. {. III good faith took out
a lease when it was legal under mill
tary law for it to operate at the 102d
Regiment property.
Not having received any answer TO
HIS latest cablegram to the manager of
Joe Beckett. heavyweight champion of
the British Isles, Tex Rickard last
night assumed that the match between
Beckett and Tom Gibbons, of St. Paul,
was as good as made. Rickard is most
enthusiastic about this proposed inter
national match, ana declared that in
his opinion it would be the feature of
the indoor season here. There is prac-
ticaliy no doubt in the promoters mind
that the bout will be staged in the
Garden during the latter part of
December. His intention now is to put
it on during the holiday week between
Christmas and New Years.
However, if by any chance Joe
Beckett should pass up this chance to
come TO America 10 meet one of our,
best light heavyweights, Rickard does
not intend to let the grass grow under
his feet, and will 20 ahead in the hunt
for an opponent fop Gibbons, whom
he considers The best white boxer in
the world, with the possible exception
of Dempsey.
81 think that Joe Beckett is a very
much improved fighter and capable OF
making good showing against any
boxer in the world, and that is my
reason for trying to arrange a battle
\ between the Britisher and the ST. Paul
man. 1t is generally known. of course,
that Dempsey has been without a
worthy opponent for a long time. Can
didly, / think that the winner of 8
match between Joe Beckett and Tom
Gibbons would furnish Mr.. Dempsey
with very worthy adversary.

This will bring together in the main

because of the fact that the little fell
