Hitting The
 WITH G. E. FIRSTBROOk Sport Trail

The suspension of Jim Bones pre- sents a golden opportunity to some Of the high apostles of clean sports and fair play to give Jim a lift out of his present difficulty with the State Athletic Commission. By exercising their influence and explaining tf.4 situation properly the State boxing solons may feel inclined to be charlt- able, and restore Jim to good stand ing, thereby permitting the lad 10 take part in bouts.
 Right off the bat, let it be tln-
 derstood there are no intentions
 of defending Bones for his par
 ticipation in the East Side cellar
 fight, nor an attempt to criticize
 the State Boxing Boards action
 in putting the ban on Jim.
 Jim Bones is a boy who has suf- fered many hard knocks in life. He has no Yale education-he can't read or write. it has been astd. But Jim possesses a personality - continuous sunshine and smiles-happy-g lucky, always ready to do a favor to the asker. He has the faculty of dis pensing gloom and substituting merri- ment by his unique makeup; as boxer fhe has brought smiles to thou sands at local boxing shows by his clownish antics in the ring. Jim .s honest as the stone is adamant; Jim cou1dn'e be crooked; he's gamster all the way through, and he's borne lIio SldDS or JOkSCSfS without a. Whl1I- per. To use an old expression, Jim Bones is a, diamond in the rough"
 Here's Jim Bones for you! At
 a recent boxing show Jim was
 handed twenty-odd dollars as his
 share of the receits, after his Ii-
 cense money had been deducted.
 Jim vanished after the show.
 Finally, he turned up at down town lunch wagon where the
 sports were congregated and dis
 cussing the fights.
 "Where did you come from?" quizzed a sport
 'Took $2O home to my mother"
 quickly snapped back "Sunny
 JiEn' with his customary smile. That act stamps Jim Bones as one of the worlds biggest fellows.

New York, Dec. 3,-Jack Dempsey
will return to New York the middle
of this month. looking for fight. He
is now in Salt Lake City or there
abouts finishing up a theatrical tour
which began early last October. With
this vaudeville career at an end he
will begin to listen 10 the songs that
the promoters will sing.
Dempsey and his manager think 1t
is high time for him to get into action.
Even the brightest and best-tem-
pered blades go rusty if they hang too
long upon the wall, and while sparring
every afternoon before vaudeville
spectators may keep the weight down
it does little else.

less thar any second rater, and the
time may come when Jack will learn
this to his sorrow. The chances are
that Tommy Gibbons will be dangled
before his eyes as soon as Dempsey
Jack will snatch at him or not re-
When you look into the situation,
YOU find that Dempseys attitude
toward Gibbons has been just a little
curious. 1t would seem as though the
champion would rather have other
fighters game than Tommy's. And
it is even whispered that Gibbons
has sacrificed several important
things in order that he might not
appear TOO menacing as a contender
for the heavyweight championship.
II is even Said-under breath-that
.Tommy's performance against BARLEY
Madden and against Harry Greb were
all Il part Of his plan to lure Demp-
sev into the ring with him.
Whether this is so or NOT. the two
Jacks make very little talk about a
match with st, Paul Tommy. Sort
of anpears as though Jack was afraid
that here is a guy who is liable to
steal something on him. Tommy is
very clever and his cleverness is OF
the sort that Dempsey has always
found troublesome. Besides. Gibbons
can hit, as his long list OF k%nockouts
shows.
