Mike Gibbons Is Sorry For
Tom, But Says It's His O,Ut1
Fault; HOlU Grebb Won Fiqht
Says Brother Trained With
"Big Hams" And Tried To
Win With A Secret
Punch That Was No Sec
ret; Forgot About Grebb

Mike Gibbons, who came to Grand
Forks this morning to box Leo Stokes
at the auditorium tonight, is of the
opinion that there is only one great
fighter to a family. Evidently Mike
is the fighter in the Gibbons family,
judging from Toms performance in
New York last night.
In an interview with The Herald
toCay, Mike Gibbons commented at
,ergth upon Brother Toms defeat and
told how it happened.
Il feel sorry for Tom" said Mike.
'but it's his own fault. Whatever
little Tom knew about boxing in days
gone by. he seems to have forgotten.
Tom has fallen into the same rur that
has been the downfall of many other
great boxers. He thought he could
hit. and he knocked out couple
dozen big, slow fellows. which got
him quite a standing tn the pugilistic
world, but it has ruined him as a
boxer.
Tom Docs Wrong Thing.
'-rom now neglects to apply him
self properly. When training to fight
a fellow of the Grebb type he should
have trained for speed and done a
lot of boxing with fast boxers. In
stead of that, he worked out with
lot of big hams and was always prac-
ticing knockout punches. The result
was he was too slow.
TON also placed a lot Of confidence
in n so-called secret punch, 4 left
hook to the Ever. This punch is no
secret; in fact, it is older than Tom
himself. Everyone knew Tom was
trying to use it. Dal Hawkins first
made this !eft-hook-to-the-bo body punch
famous 20 years ago. Battling Nelson
also used It. Nelson was not a good
boxer. and was forced to resort to his
punching ability. As he was sautton
for punishment, he could trade
punches with anyone in long distance
bouts and win. With Tommy it was
different; he was good boxer, but
made himself believe that he de-
veloped a punch. The fact is Tom
cannot hit any harder now than he
ever could, but he has been boxing
big. slow fellows that generally would
rather quit than go the distance.
Forgot About Grebb.
HE made mistake in training for
the Grebb bout. He had to knock out
Grebb to win, but he seemed to for
get that Grebb was going to fight
back. In fact, he gave Grebb no
credit at all. On the other hand.
Grebb was carefully training and wise
to Toms weakness and his new way
of fighting. He knew just how Tom
was going to fight and was trained to
beat him. Tom forgot about Grebb
and Grebb won. So my advice to
young boxers is: Always remember
that your opponent has two hands, a
head and about everything else you
have. In training for battle, train
to fight your opponent at his own
style and with his weaknesses in
mind"

LITTLE EFFECT
OF RECENT THAW

In spite Of the mild weather Of the
past week, and the subsequent thaw
the Red river here has shown little
tendency to break up and rise. There
is considerable water above the ice,
which in places has begun to crack.
Old timers predict that the water will
rise very little this year. unless there
is either a heavy rainfall or another
snowstorm in store in the next week
or two.

as major in the World war, studying
gas warfare at the British front and
serving In charge Of the gas and flame
branch of the trench warfare section
of the United States army.
1.-THE purpose of gas In warfare is
to produce as much agony and torture
as possible, in order that the victim
may be at least incapacitated, if not act
ually killed." Major Mathews is quoted
as saying to the American Legion
news service. "And 1t is incenceivable
that a state should desire to use gases
which produce such effects.
ut is to be hoped that civilization
has reached a point where revenge Is
no longer a motive. Only savages tor
ture their victims before killing them
Professor Mathews said there were
gases which might be used for execu-
lions, If the use of gas at all could
ever be deemed wise. Carbon dioxide,
the poisonous constituent of ordinary
Illuminating gas, he declared would
be the logical one to use. He asserted,
however, that if the administration of
gas for execution of criminals were
carried out, it should be entirely In
the hands Of medically trained men
who understand both it's use and at
tendant dangers.
"The horrors Of poorly carried out
electrocutions are sufficiently vivid Ia
the minds of thinking people to make
them abhor any method of execution
which may not be both humane and
effective" he declared.

and made it fast with rope. The
ranger started. only 10 discover that
the mother bear was in hot pursuit.
The forestry book of instructions does
not cover this situation, but the ranger
decided to throw the cub overheard.
His attempts to unite the knots proved
futile. Finally, on a steep grade, the
old bear threw herself on the back of
the car. The forester jumped off the
car, and regained his feet in time to
see it continuing it's journey. Later
the automobile was found, everything
intact except the seat where the cub
had been tied, the old bear having
torn 1t out to release her offspring.

tend the services. Hell come back to
me- know it."
And big Jim" did come back. big
Jim," otherwise Lieut.. James w. Han
berry, came back, through wars worst
hell, to the woman who waited at
home for him. He's newspaper re-
porter now, in Omaha And the other
day big Jim" was summoned to Fort
Crook, near Omaha, ana In the pres
ence of thousand or more American
Legion buddies and Hanford Mac
N1der, national commander of the
American Legion, and other notables,
the Distinguished Service cross was
pinned on his breast.
letter from Gen John J. Pershing,
and one from Gov. Henry Allen Of
Kansas, were read, praising big Jim"
for magnificent heroism. And the story
was told again of how he fought his
way back, dangerously wounded, TO
life, and back home again to the wife
who held to the faith he would return.
Lieutenant Hanbery's act was clean
ing out a German machine gun nest
at Chateau Thierry. He and his men
went forward in bayonet charge. All
but II Of the platoon were killed or
wounded. big Jim" was wounded in
the head, and his right arm paralyZed,
but he kept on going refusing medical
attention, but insisting that his
wounded men be looked after. He led
brilliant charge, personally captur-
ing two Of the German guns.
He sustained wounds In the head,
right thigh and left arm. He crawled
into shell hole and was unconscious
eight hours. When he recovered con-
seriousness he bound up his own
wounds and tried to help two other
wounded men in the same hole-but
they were killed by shells.
Then he tried to "dig in." But he
was seen by a German gunner, and
was hit few more times. He played
'possum," until the firing ceased.
And two hours later he crawled out
of his hole and started slowly, in
agony, to crawl to the American lines.
He couldn't walk. He rolled, crawled,
pushed his way along inch by inch. A
German sniper shot at him every time
he rolled over, and added more
wounds to his total Finally the
sniper got him with a bullet through
the right thigh, and big Jim" tainted.
He was picked up the next day and
sent to a hospital. He was uncon-
scious so hours, and for a month his
identity lost The War department
cabled his wife in Pittsburg, and
parents In Enid, that he was dead.
Then the services were held.
But two months later Mrs Hanbery
received letter from big JIM" from
a hospital in France. After being
brought back to the States he was
many months in the hospital. When
he was able to get out he went to
Omaha and became newspaper re-
porter. When he enlisted, at the very
start of the war, he was teacher in
the State Normal school at Pittsburg.
It was with Company L. Fifty-ninth
infantry, he went to France, and from
the start he was called "Big Jim" be-
cause of his helght-6 feet 2 inches
in his bare feet.
