Harry Greb and Tom Gibbons will box Is rounds to a decision in New York on Monday, March 1S. This bout will be a supreme test for Tom Gibbons, the man who is or was matched to box Georges Carpenter and. who has been mentioned promi- nently as g. likely opponent for Jack Those who decry Gibbons's chances against Dempsey point to the fact that up to date he has not decisively beaten a real topnotcher," most of his victims having been of the 4set- up" variety.
 Greb, however, can hardly be classed as "an easy mark" Harry is recognized as the tough nut of the heavyweight class" Even the great Jack Dempsey sported a black eye for several weeks as a token of Greb' s prowess when he helped condition the champion for one of his important contests.
 Gibbons has not re1ished the inn piled su1us that have been made on his ability by eastern critics. Through very highly by the fistic fans. As a matter of fact, an extensive canvass recently made by Ed Smith of Chi cago, demonstrated that Gibbons was the choice of the populace for match with Dempsey for the title.
 When Carpenter Issued his ultima tum that Gibbons must win the Amer lean lightweight championshiT before Georges would go through with his scheduled match with the St. Paul battlers Tom immediately importuned

CITY c Q AL : BIN IS FOUGHT BY
 DEALERS
Bryan, Brother of Will J., Sells Municipal Coal At Big Saving.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 17.-Lincoln's municipal coal yard must fight for its life in the highest court in the State. This pet of Charlie" Bryan. City Commissioner and brother of William Jennings Bryan, has just emerged vic- tor in a series of legal battles in the lower courts Heads of 14 Lincoln coal companies challenged the right of the municipal baby. They attacked the legality of the law creating a city coal yard to life aln1ost immediately upon the birth of MT. Bryan's indus trial yard: they challenged the right of the city to enter into competitive occupations with taxpayers, and when beaten in the lower courts on these issues they tried to tie up by fnjunc- tion the city funds with which MT. Bryan operates the city's fuel mart.
 On the eve of the injunction hear ing Commissioner Bryan handed the coal men a solar plexuS blow by turn ing back into the city treasury g sum equal to the appropriation originally made for starting the coal yard. In cidentalIy he announced this money was part of the earnings of the yard during it's first six months of opera tion The yard, MT. Bryan said, had a comfortable surplus on which to op- crate until the end of the winter. de- spite the sale of coal at 10 to 20 per cent less than the same fuel could be had at privately -lowned yards. Meanwhile, Lincoln househ elders who patronize private yards are buying their coal at @ big saving over prices that prevailed at the beginning of the winter.
 Appeal bonds have been filed to carry the case to the State Supreme Court on the contention that the city has no legal right to conduct a bus mess with monies derived from public taxation. The dealers also al1ege "un- fair and discriminatory competition" !" Meanwhile MT. Bryan is bringing train1oads of fuel into Lincoln weekly.
