In the meantime Harry Greb of Pitts
burgh, who is to box Tom Gibbons. own
brother to the celebrated Mike. is In our
midst getting ready for March 13. Glib
bons will arrive Monday and start TO
work getting ready for the mill.
The bout will mean nothing in par
ticular as far as any title is concerned.
Jack Dempsey is said to be contemplat-
Ing boxing the winner, but the winner
by no stretch of the imagination can be
pictured as contemplating boxing Jack
Dempsey. The profits OF the bout will

liminares. Joe yelling, who had the
distinction of being among those fiat
tened by Benny Leonard, personally will
meet Clonnie TAFT. George Marks and
Abe Godstein. bantams. will strive to
