ST. PAUL PAYS ITS HOMAGE AS HERO
 GIBBONS RETURNS

ST. PAUL, Minn., July 7.-'Let's make it knockout" was the slogan adopted for St. Paul's welcome to- day to it's famous fighter. Tom Gib- bons, on his return from Shelby, Montana. And a knockout it was.
 Hundreds of Twin Cities admirers of Tommy-the man who won fame by staying the limit of 15 rounds with Jack Dempsey. worlds heavy weight champion, on July 4-gath- cred at the union depot to greet him this morning.
 Members of athletic organizations, the American Legion and city, civic and social clubs were in the throng that met Gibbons and his family and escorted them to the town and Coun- try club for breakfast At the club an informal reception was held.
 A parade from Como park to the state capitol and the downtown dis trict followed, winding up at Rice park, where the St. Paul boxer was welcomed officially by Mayor Arthur B. Nelson of St. Paul.
 Banners bearing the legend "Wel- come Home, Tommyn were carried on many automobiles and by in dividuals.
 One of the first to greet Gibbons was his equally famous brother, Phantom" Mike Gibbons. The two had been on the "outs" for several years following a personal dispute. They had made up'' before the Shelby bout, however.
 Tommy plans to take long rest before resuming active training again. He may accept vaudeville offer. however, and spend several months on the stage.

MIL HUHN STILL LEADING THE SOUTHERN LEAGUE IN
 BATTING; HAS 357 AVERAGE
FIGHTERS READY FOR JERSEY CITY BATTLE JULY I2

NEW YORK, July 7.-Jess Willard and Luis Firpo, who will clash next Thursday night at Boyle's Thirty Acres in a bout to determine a chal lenger for Jack Dempsey, reached the peak of their fighting form today in the last strenuous workouts of their respective training programs.
 Willard, in his gymnasium at Yonkers, N. Y., satisfied his trainers that he is in the best condition of his career, after a brisk 11-round work out, while at Long Branch, N. J., Firpo did 13 rounds of various train ing stunts. The former champion tipped the scales at a trifle less than 240 and the South American weighed 214. They will enter the ring for their 12-round match at close to these weights.
 Not since the history of the Demp- Carpenter contest in Jersey City has a heavyweight match in the metropolitan area attracted the in terest shown in the Firpo- Willard encounter. Firpo, one of the most picturesque figures the ring has pro- duced in many years, and possessor of q terrific punch, has climbed rapidly to fistic fame, while Willard, the 40-year old champion is essay ing a comeback in an attempt to re- gain the laurels he lost to Dempsey four years ago. Willard hurdled the first obstacle when he knocked out Floyd Johnson at the Yankee stad- ium two months ago and his i'm provement since then has strength ened the confidence of his followers that he will be able to overcome the rugged youth and fiery attack Of the Argentine.
 Advance ticket sales for the bout has passed the $200,o00 mark, and today indications pointed to crowd that may tax the 90,000 capacity or the big pine bowl.

Firpo Feels Reluctance To Strike His Elders, But Jess
 Isn't Worried Over That

NEW YORK, July 7-Both Jess Will
 lard and Luis Angelo Firpo radiated
 a ruddy pink Saturday night as they eased up training for their interna-
 tional fist fight next Thursday. True,
 there was around the round midriff
 of the Argentine slugger a layer of
 fat through which the pink aura
 found it hard to penetrate, but Luis.
 his manager declared. is so strong
 and willing that few good natured pounds of grease don't handicap him in the ring at all.
 Willard, who might be grand father today had he married 3 little earlier in life, gave an inspiring 1 "confidence" talk at his training
 boudoir in Yonkers He is looking,
 he declared, right over the muscular shoulders of the sophisticated bull of the PampaS" at Jack Dempsey
 himself. Luis is nothing more than
 just another hurdle for the 43-year-
 old comeback prodigy on the way to his revenge on the man w shamed him in three rounds at toledo.
 Down at Long Branch, Senor Iirpo. handicapped, perhaps. by a lack of
 familiarity with the lingo of pep and
 personality, said[ nothing intelligible intimated, however, that Luis finds
 it hard to forget the good old Span ish chiyalry that forbids a man to strike his elders. Only the fact that he has legally contracted to assault the pugilistic patriarch of Kansas will persuade him to shove a
 menacing glove at the jaw where
 gray hairs may, theoretically, sprout each morning.
 Battle of Tonnage.
 Tonnage statistics at the end of the rope skipping exercises Saturday made it certain that in pure dis placement, at least. the match will
 be the battle of the century" and the other breath taking things that
 Tex Rickard says it will be. Will
 lard will drag 2SS pounds over the
 ropes and Firpo will expose some 214
 to Willard's punches behind his wide open defense.
 Jim Jeffres. who succumbed at an punch which was powerless against Willard, may yet come east for the fight. as the guest of Tex Rickard, although it is settled definitely that Jim cannot referee the bout under the New Jersey law, requiring three
 years residence for referees. Harry Lewis, a born and bred Jerseyite, draws the assignment as third man
 in the ring at Boyle's seeking ground in. Jersey City. Rickard has a sem timental interest in measuring the
 somewhat obliteratcd figure of Jeff | fries against two men of his size who will try Thursday to earn d chance to take the title away from
 the comparatively diminutive Demp- 1 seY, holder of the title once claimed
 only by giants.

 Walter Stewart pitched 'em to victory Saturday. Earl Whitehill and Roy Moore, two reliable fling at the Crackers. Perhaps they will be able to win the next two games, and give the Stuffy lads three out of the four game
 Like ghosts from the past. the swimmers will return to Bfrming- ham the latter part or this month for one day meet at East Lake. It has been long, long time since Birmingham had n swim ming meet. and the Athletic this month will probably prove very popular with the fan flock.
 Gray haired old Jess Willard who has heard the eerie call too late, it would seem-will risk his all in his bout with Luis F'irpo Thursday night. If Jess should lose that bout, 1t would mean his fading away from the ring game, and retirement that would know nos come back.
 Jess believes he can win from the Giant of the Argentine, and is looking further than his bout with Firpo. He sees another battle with Jack Dempsey, ana chance to secure revenge for the beating the Utah Mauler dealt him several years ago.
 It's pity that Jess couldn't have heard the call when he first began, and started out in pugilism like he is finishing, with the flash of battle In his eye, and a determination to con- quer. With his physique. Willard with fighting spirit would have been probably the greatest fight ing machine of all time.
 Perhaps it's not too late to carry on a little longer, but Jess Willard has lost the cream of his opportunity. His bout with Firpo will show whether all Is lost, and fandom is watching with interest that Thursday battle.
