Foul i'm Tenth Gives
Bout to Billy Miske

New York, Oct. 13.-Tom Gibbons,
of st. Paul. lost ON a foul to Billy
Miske, his fellow townsman, in the
tenth round of their scheduled 10 round
bout tonight. Gibbons had been leading
until the fight was stopped, when Miske
claimed he had been struck low and
could not continue.
The crowd gathered around the ring
and ONE of the spectators shouted to
Miske to continue. Gibbons walked to
Mlske's corner, but the winner appear
ed to weak to acknowledge him. Then
the judges decision was announced,
and the crowd roared it's disapproval
and derided Miske as he left the ring.
When Gibbons started toward his
dressing room there was a round of
applause.
AS he strobe toward his dressing
room, Gibbons told a reporter for The
Associated Press that the blow was
foul, but that it was accidental. L
don't think it was hard enough to hurt
him much and / couldn't avoid it as he
lurched when we came together" he
said.
Gibbons was far in the lead on points
and had Miske appearing amateurish
when the foul occurred. As the tenth
round started, both men advanced to
the center of the ring and fell into a
close exchange, both playing for the
stomach. Gibbons turned backward to
get greater leverage with his right, and
as he brought it down, Miske stepped
forward and the blow struck Bill in the
groin. He dropped helpless to the
floor and Gibbons stepped away.
For a few seconds, both the audi
ppcp and Pafarao KID MoDo rtlapH
seemed amazed. Miske sat on the
floor, his face writing in evident
agony, but it was some time before
Mcfarland stepped over and grabbing
Miske by the shoulders, lifted him to
his corner.
In the preceding nine rounds of
fighting, Gibbons emulated the noted
shift work of his brother Mike, called
the "St. Paul Phantom" He tented
in the bout with amazing ~dexterity,
plunging back now and then to drive a
left jab to the head or to hook both
fists into Miske's body. Gibbons had
landed 10 blows to Miske's one, yet
the latter was not greatly weakened.
The craftiness of Gibbons made
Miske appear all the slower. Even
when Tom did not duck away, Bill was
short with his lunges and inaccurate
at closer range. AT JlmeS the crowd
giggled at Miske's utter inability to
place his fists on Gibbons body.
Miske's weight was 1S7 and Gibbons
176.
ROUND ONE
They met in the center of the ring
and fell into a sharp exchange. Miske
landed first, with a short right to the
head. They kept at close range. Miske
missed a wide swing and Gibbons sent
a right hook to the ribs. They kept
exchanging evenly at long range. Both
were wild.
ROUND TWO
They clinched. Gibbons placed his
left to Miskes' head and Bill missed
return. Miske caught Gibbons with
a left hook to the jaw. Both sent
left jabs TO the head. The men were
lively, but doing little damage.
ROUND THREE
Gibbons jabbed hard left to the jaw.
Miske rushed him to his corner and,
grabbing him, tossed him along the
ropes. Gibbons was bleeding from a
cut on his head. Miske sent smashing
right to the face, then missed a right

Sox and Cubs Now
All Even With Two
Each in City Series

Chicago. Oct. 13.-The White Sox
evened up the series with the Cubs
Thursday by taking a pitchers battle,
4 to 3. Each club now has won two
games.
The veteran. Grover Alexander, was
opposed by the rookie. Dixie" Lever
cite, and more than held his own until
the sixth inning, when he began to
weaken.
The Sox then started their uphill
fight, and at the end of the seventh had
tied their rivals. Alexander then
frightened up until the ninth when
Shelly shot a hot grounder over third
base which sent Hooper home with
the winning run.
Leverette held his opponents to
seven hits, three of which were made
by Statz, while the Sox touched Alex
ander for 10 safeties, Hooper making
three and Collins and Shelly two each.

hook. Gibbons tented and caught
Mlske a hard right to the jaw.
ROUND FOUR
Gibbons landed several hard blows
to the head but Miske missed. He
repeated his attack, hooked several
hard rights and lefts to the head and
again made Bill miss. Gibbons jabbed
some more and then had the better
of mitigating.
ROUND FIVE
They were cautious and danced
around. Gibbons sent a short upper
cut to the jaw, then missed a left
cross. Miske's left eye began to color
and swell and Gibbons pounded it
twice with hard rights. Tom missed
an uppercut.
ROUND SIX
They exchanged body blows, then
Gibbons started his shifting tactics
and when Miske stepped into the
feints, Tom stung hard left jabs.
Miske began to miss often. Gibbons
kept shooting his left to the head.
ROUND SEVEN
Gibbons footwork had Miske puz-
zled. After Miske had missed widely,
they both landed left hooks to the
head. Miske was missing three out
of four attempts to hit, while Gibbons,
careful, landed like a sharpshooter.
ROUND EIGHT
They danced around, landing lightly,
and the crowd howled. Miske led but
Gibbons ducked a half dozen blows
and then sent in a volley, one of which
Miske claimed was low. The referee
demurred. Gibbons rained rights and
lefts to the body and slammed several

Missoula, Oct. 13.-The Montana

SPECIAL TO 1he tribune.
Bozeman, Oct. 13.-The Utah Ag-
gies, using the Utah shift against its
inventor, Coach OFT Romney, of Mon
tana State, came out on the long end
of a 80 TO 8 score, in the game here
today. The Utah team had the ad-
vantage from the start, and held the
offensive during most of the game.
The Utah eleven made 307 yards in
scrimmage, while the Bob Cats made
but 80.
Dick Romney, coach of the Utah
Aggies, defeated his brother, OFT, by
the use of the Utah shift, which OFT
had invented when he was coaching
in Utah. The Utah team was heavier
and faster than the Bob Cat eleven,
but at no time did the Bob Cats stop
fighting. The Aggies used the Utah
shift to make consistent gains around
the ends and also made ground
through the line by straight football.
Montana State made her only touch
down when Hatfield got in TO block a
punt on the Utah five-yard line and
then Husemeyer went across with the
pigskin for Il touchdown. MacDon-
aid failed on the attempt for goal.
Knowles was the outstanding man
for the Utah Aggies, nearly always be-
ing good for gains through the line
and around the ends. He also played
a good defensive game. Croft played
stellar football on the offensive and
Conroy in the defensive broke up play
after play of the Montana men. Mac
Donald was the fighting man of the
Bob Cat territory. He punted IA
times for an average of 81 yards.
Cowan and Harmon played stellar de-
fensive games, breaking up many Utah
plays.
Injuries TO McCarren, Hollister and
Nashin seriously crippled the Montana
State.

Brooms May Advance to War Prices

An expected advance in brooms will
bring them close to wartime prices,
according to manufacturers and deal
ers handling broom supplies. This is
due to an advance in everything en-
tering their manufacture, but princi
pally to the nigh cost of broom corn,
which has gone up 100 per cent in the
last sixty days. Twine for broom
manufacturing is firm, with prospects
of advancing. Mills have all the bus
mess they can manage in other lines,
and broom twine is only small part
of their output. Deliveries are not
prompt. The wholesale price of
brooms today is from $5.25 to $3.50
dozen. With an increasing demand
and the difficulties confronting the
manufacturers, these prices are ex-
pected to advance from So to about
$14 a dozen.
