Washington.-PrOn the Brit

of the war-clouded skies in a debt
burdened world" President Harding
submitted the proposal for a settle
ment to a joint session Of the two
houses of Congress and urged prompt
approval.
Failure of the British undertake
ing" the President declared, would
have spread political and economic
disbursement throughout the world
and general reputation would have
likely followed in its wake"
The President characterized the
agreement as "a covenant Of peace
no less effective than it would be if
Joint British and American opposition
to war We're expressly agreed upon"
This idea that the debt agreement
is more than A mere economic ar
rargement, is. in fact. long step
in the direction Of restoring peace
and the will to peace in the world, is

WILDE IGNORED
CHANCE FOR
TRAINING
Consequently He Went the
Nay of Willard and Johnny
KiIbane.

Prosperity has always robbed box
ers of much of their initial belliger-
ency, and Jimmy Wilde was no ex-
ception. Wilde has made more
money in the ring than any Of the
British fighters and has had the ad-
vantage of being well advised in
his investments. He hasn't fought
in England for more than two years
because the purses were not high
enough to lure him out of retirement
Wilde is a country squire. He has
his country place, where he has lolled
in comfort. He rides to the hounds
and plays golf and takes life easy.
The temptation of money on this
side was more than he could resist.
At the age of tEirty-one he fooled
himself into believing that he could
fight again with the proper training.
During his period Of preparation
his handlers tried to make the public
believe that Wide was following his
usual procedure Of training. He did
little or no boxing and at 100 pounds
he went into the ring heavier than
in any of his previous fights.
In his heyday in England Wilde
trained just as strenuously as any
other fighters. There is no differ
ence in methods in preparing tor a
fight. 1t is hard, gruelling. monoto-
nous work. 1t was too much for
prosperous squire like Wilde.

ally outspeeds him in their work
outs.
If the champion is not in as fine
condition as it is possible for any
one to reach, then appearances are
certainly all wrong. Certainly there
are no Indications that support the
wild stories that Dempsey has gone
the pace, is slow and misses too
much. This, in the words of dead
Pan Dunkley, the rough horseman
from Kalispell, Mont, is apple
sauce
There are other ways to build
up the challenges without making
misstatements about the champion.
Dempsey has reached that stage
in his training where it will re.
quire careful watching to keep him
from OVERRIDING it. This caused the
curtailing of Wednesdays work
out and yesterdays day of rest.
All Dempsey has to do now is 70
take it easy for the rest of bis
raining period. He is strong
enough and fast enough to face
Gibbons tomorrow. The days. there
fore. that he will spend in hard
work in the next two weeks will
be few and far between.

Shelby Bank Rolls
Take Hardest
Punch Yet

The men who are handling the
money in Shelby for the Demp
sey-Gibbons fight are doing
more training than the boxers.
They should be in great shape
on July A.
The bankers out there started
out slowly, but they picked up
lot of speed last week, and the
boys behind the cash registers
are, right-hooking and jabbing
the machine in daily bouts.
While Dempsey and Gibbons
are punching the bag, the pro-
motors are giving the bank roll
the same kind Of exercise.

Who Will Win
| heBigScrap?
Opinions from the Sport World
on the Dempsey. Gibbons Go.
| Copyright, 1923, by Cosmopolitan
News SerVice.)

Charles S. Harvey. American
manager of many English box
ers, New York: Dempsey in
eleven rounds.
81 think Gibbons will be trou-
blesome for Dempsey in the
early part of the contest, as
Gibbons is very clever, and will,
/ think, depend upon his boxing
ability to try to get decision
over Dempsey.
"Gibbons has been boxing in
actual contests right along, and
has set his heart on winning
this match. On the other hand,
Dempsey has not been in an ac-
tual contest for two years, and
this is bound to affect him when
he next steps into the ring for
a real battle. look for one of
the best contests that Dempsey
has yet appeared in, and think
that those fortunate enough to
be present will see one Of the
best heavyweight contests in
years."
Jeff Smith, middleweight box
er, New York: eff Gibbons goes
over four rounds he should be
the winner.
Dempsey might win by a
knockout inside of four rounds,
but if the battle goes any fur
ther, Gibbons should be re-
turned the winner"
AL Lippe, prominent manager,
New York: "Gibbons will win in
ten rounds. l believe Gibbons
will be faster than Dempsey,
and capable of winning from
him on points,"
Eddie O'Dowd, bantamweight
boxer, Columbus, Ohio: "Demp-
sey will win ON points in the
full number of rounds.
"Gibbons, in my opinion, is
more clever at boxing and at
blocking and guarding l believe
him to excel Dempsey. / do not
consider Gibbons nearly the hard
hitter that Dempsey is.
81 believe Gibbons will out
box Dempsey in the beginning
of the contest. Dempsey's blows
to the body will no doubt have
effect to a great extent on Glib
bons.
at is my honest opinion that
Dempsey will have his hands
full beating Gibbons. And it
will only be his hard punching
that will bring this result. l
naturally feel that the latteB
part of the contest will be more
to the advantage of Dempsey,
because of his hitting powers
slowing up Gibbons"
The Washington times., 1923-06-22

Miske refused to resign himself
to the verdict. He oiled up his gun
and filed it's sights, packed his
pack, and calling his favorite dogs
he trekked away from his home IN
st. Paul into the northern woods.
For nine months he lived like a
forest ranger The outdoor life
worked a physical transformation.
It effected complete cure.
With the return of his health Billy
resumed training. That was in
June, 1920. He took a match with
Jack Moran in Minneapolis for n
try-out. Jack lasted less than two
full rounds.
In his next start three months
later, Miske stacked up against
Champion Jack Dempsey at Benton
Harbor. The result is ring history.
Miske was knocked out for the first
time in his life in three rounds.
Ringside critics agreed that Mtske
that day would have licked any
other man in the world but Demp-
sew His form was marvellous.
Undismayed by the Dempsey re-
verse. Miske continued his ca
reer. With the exception OF
blowing a ten-rOund decision to
Tommy UlDDOIto, HlS tOWmos ldcs
December in st. Paul, Miske has
been uniformly successful.
| In twenty matches he has scored
ten knockouts and registered eight
decisive victories. He knocked
out Farmer Lodge in four rounds.
Jack Renault in thirteen. Bob
Roper, 10 rounds; Homer Smith.
1 round; Willie Meshan, 1 round;
and Little Freddie Fulton, in /
round. He licked Martin Burke n
couple of times, Charles Weinert.
Bill Brennan and a number of less
err lights These are just some of
his recent achievements. His rec
ord before the Dempsey match is
equally as impressive.
In view Of Miske's performances
Eduring the past eighteen months,
to say nothing Of his earlier career,
he is justified in asking why none
of the promoters are giving him
a tumble these days when making
up "all star" heavyweight cards.
If there is room in the rings for
such as Floyd Johnson, Luis Angel.
Firpo, Jess Willard, Fred Fulton,
Jack McAuliffee, Jack Renault, Jim
The Washington times., 1923-06-22

Tiny Herman, Al Reich, and the
rest Of their tribe, there surely
must be a match for Miske. He
and McAuliffe, for example would
be a great attraction.
There are only two men to whom
Miske bends the knee. He admits
the superiority of Dempsey, and
also of Tommy Gibbons OF his
last fight here with Gibbons which
he won on a foul he says, st was
not up to standard, and the only
way can explain it is that Tom
my has my number. But while
respect his ability I could box him
twenty rounds every day In the
week, and he never would knock me
out"

Word Signals Barked
By Shortstop Are
Effective

In the annual Groton-St.
Marks baseball game the st.
Marks shortstop directed the
defense of his team by barking
out signals like the quarter
back does in football.
The Groton players didn't
know whether they were going
to be tackled or be victims of
a forward pass. The scheme
worked pretty well, and the ex-
pertinent may start a new style
of coaching in school and col
lege baseball.
The Washington times., 1923-06-22

Illness, it seems, is the one thing
that Gibbons respects more than
Dempseys punch. He has every
reason to do so. 1t made him
bad financial risk to any promoter
in New York and drove him out
here into the sagebrush to get his
shot at the title. The shot will be
worth exactly nothing, not unless
it finds a permanent home on
Dempsey's jaw.
1t was illness that caused Tom
Gibbons to stagger through fifteen
rounds with Harry Greb and made
of him a second class attraction in
New York.
eff Greb had q punch he would
have knocked me out that night"
Gibbons declared. II was lucky
to last the limit, for had moth
ing when / entered the ring and
something less than that when l
left it.
I had suffered an attack of the
flu two or three weeks before the
bout, but believed | had shaken
it off. I knew better when l
attempted to put up a fight. 1t
wasn't Greb's speed nor the fact
that he is a hard man to make a
showing against. / had beaten
him before, but 1 couldn't do it that
night with most of my energy left
in a sick bed"
Asked why he had not tried to
have the fight postponed, the ST.
Paul entry replied he failed to rail-
ize that he hadn't recovered his
full strength.
Another thing" he added, sit
was a charity show and l didn't
want to disappoint the fans unless
/ was absolutely sure that I was
not myself l find a man can kid
himself into believing he is sick
just because he doesn't believe
himself to be in top form. Just as
soon as his bout has been called
off or postponed he feels better.
His indisposition is emphasized by
his desire to be in just as good
physical condition as the man he
meets"
Gibbons has been seized by ILL.,
ness before several of his other
bouts, but never has requested q
pOstpOnement. 1t seems to be a
fetish of his that he will not give
In to weakness of the flesh.
THE day I met Billy Murray in
Portland" Tom said, II was I'M
able to hold my food on my stom-
ach. Something had gone wrong
with my digestive apparatus and
while In the dining car en- route l
was forced to send the waiter back
to the buffet with my steak be-
cause / could not eat it. 1 was
with a party of friends and did
not want to worry them by flaunt-
ing my weakness.
THE Murray bout was the hard
est Of my career. He was a tough,
rugged middleweight who had just
shaded Jack Dillon in a decision
fight. He certainly made it very
unpleasant for me and ! was feel
ing bad enough as it was. I met
Clay Turner in Pittsburgh before |
had really recovered from an at
lack Of the flu. l lived to regret
upside down."
Just at the moment Gibbons
health Is all that human flesh can
expect. The altitude and climate
of Shelby seem to agree with him
like a close friend, but Eddie Kane
and his handlers are taking about
as many chances as sure thing
gambler with Gibbons health.
They wouldn't let him box yester-
day because he had a more or less
harmless cold sore on his mouth.

While staying over to wait de-
velopments at Shelby, Grossman
has been trying to sign Dempsey
to a contract for a five-reel picture
to be produced Immediately after
the Gibbons fight.
Kearns has been holding up his
decision until he finds out whether
the Greb fight at Pittsburgh mate
rializes. There is chance, how
ever, that the picture will be MADE
before Dempsey engages in announcer
fight Grossman estimates that
only twenty days of DempseY's
time will be required to complete
the picture.
Cheeseman's offer to Dempsey is
aaid to be $500. COO with a percent
age of the pictures takings.
Kearns has something else to help
along his peeve besides the picture
eituation and the rainy weather.
This is a series of stories sent out
bv some of The newspaper CORE

accordingly.
Kearns makes a strong denial
that Dempsey has been doing the
pace, and the splendid workouts
that are daily a feature of the cham
pion's training are proof that his
manager speaks the truth. Demp-
sey looks more solid, if such thing
be possible, than he did at Atlantic
City.
To a few inquiring scribes who
suggest that 200 pounds would be
q low estimate of the champions
present weight, Kearns offered to
bet any amount of money that Demp-
sey would scale rot more than 1872
pounds right now. He also offered
to let the newspaper men do their
own weighing Of the champion.
Dempsey is faster than this
writer has ever seen him. There
never was much argument about
his hitting powers Billy Wells, the
English welterweight champion, is

The immediate cause of the crouch
ia the run around the Shelby
ties and the Great Falls men are
giving him on the arrangement
for taking motion pictures of the
fight. Kearns brought a producer
Henry Grossman, here, from Los
Angeles for the purpose of assist
ing the promoters in getting the
picture details settled.
Grossman is a personal friend of
Kearns and of the champion. For
that reason he offered to direct
the taking of the fight pictures,
both preliminary scenes and shots
of the actual bout, without asking
a penny for his services.
The Washington times., 1923-06-22

He came here prepared to quote
cost prices for the picture, which
he places at $1,000. or One-half the
smallest bid yet made for the pic
