May Not Be Half AS
Bad For Gibbons
AS Il Looks

Only q few ring followers
concede Tom Gibbons much OF
q chance against Jack Demp-
sey. It is difficult to Imagine
how the champion could slow
up enough to be troubled with.
Gibbons blows. Yet in the last
couple Of years Gibbons has had
thirty-four fights and Dempsey
only one. A fighter is never
so good as when he is fighting.
Dempsey is not doing the in
tensive training at Great Falls
that he did in Toledo or At
lantic City. He has been too
busy collecting a menagerie. He
has become fond of books and
music and takes a gooa many
afternoons off to go fishing.
Maybe the champion is becom-
ing self-satisfied, like Willard
and Kilbane.

SandIot Salt.
And
Pepper
By r. D. THOMAS.

The young Petworth Club is
puzzle to some sandlot sharks.
They'll blow up before the
series is over" said one today.
"They are playing above their
speed. They won't stand the
grind of the series"
This chap was the manager OF
a leading team.
But Petworth has beaten Nero
ury, Dominican Lyceum and the
American Legion, three teams
that Petworth was not expected
to trim, and just yesterday held
the slugging Shamrocks to ~
tie, Dey being a hero with triple
that scored three runs. 80
Petworth's performances against
these four clubs ought to convince
the skeptics that the young team, ID

How much PetwOrth succeeds
depends largely on Buck Grier,
manager. II he can hold the
youngsters together, keep down
.diSSensiOn and doctor the team

y TX
among the leaders when those
bitter days in August are at
hand and the teams are fighting
the last. decisive battles Of the
championship series.
Much with little can be done BY a
firm, wise and respected sandlot
manager. Many teams composed Of
skilled ball players have failed in
the last two years because Of Door
management. Several teams with
little in the way of natural ability
have made good for the reason that
players were loyal, showed regular
ly for games and worked together.
Other teams with crack players
never certain to appear when need
ed, have fallen by the wayside.
"A wise manager chooses his
players carefully and plays the
same men regularly. He refuses
to bench q dependable, though
not Brilliant player to strengthen
his lineup for a game or two
with q star. He knows the benched
player becomes the seed of dis
sension and that dissension is de-
structfve to any baseball machine.
1t grows rapidly.
The mistake Of many MANAGERS
is signing too many players.
I'm leaving the team" said q
well-known pitcher today, with a
well-known team, because it has
too many pitchers now. If only a
small part of that gang Of pitchers
are used 1T means I'll play darned
little ball. I've hung on with an
other club"
Others pitchers on that big
staff feel the same, likely. The
manager probably will curse the
lack of loyalty Of his men when
about a third of them, thinking
there are many to take their
places, take a day off and the
men they expect to fill in for.

There seems to be a mad rush At
this time to qualify players for the
city series. entries for which close

The ambition of some managers
apparently is to qualify as MANY
men as possible reEardness Of
whether they are members of teams
other than their own
Among these quickly qualified
players are many grasshonners,
The successful sandlot manager
knows that a bird in the hand is
worth couple elsewhere.

Sikh Keeps In Trim
Fighting Five
Managers

Battling Sikh, the tempera-

American dollars and says he

Skis department up to the
present time has not reached
the social standards attained by
pugilists here, and the demand
for his presence can hardly be
called overwhelming.
Sikh now has no less than
five managers, and after he

Gate Must Be Second Largest
Of Ring History to

GREAT FALLS, Mont, June IA
Il is becoming painfully apparent
to those behind the Dempsey
Gibbons fight that the "gate" must
total at least $65o,000 to break
even.
Inasmuch as that sum has been
exceeded but once in the history of
ring finances-and that this fight
is being staged in one of the most
: isolated spots in Americas it any
wonder that a trio Of citizens wear
burrows upon their brows?
just what the receipts are up
to this moment is shrOuded in

Johnny Dundee was brought to q
sad realization of what his recent loss
of the junior lightweight title to Jack
Bernstein cost him when he signed
for a fifteen-round match with Eu-
gene Criqui, the new worlds feather
weight champion, at the Polo
Grounds on the night of July 30.
In the Bernstein battle Dundee, as
champion. drew down BIN per cent
Of approximately $4,000. His end
amounted to more than $4,000.
Bernstein received little more than
$4,000. 49,.
For the Criqui match Dundee is
to receive the 1914 per cent, and
his opponent three times as much.
The Scotch Wop objected strenu-
OusIy to this arrangement.
It was even reported that he had
withdrawn his claims to the match.
He could not understand why Criqui
should receive so much more than
he received, regardless Of whether
he still held his old title.
1t is said that it was not until
Criqui threatened to seize his forfeit
that he accepted the terms offered
and scrawled his signature to the
contract. Dundee, it will be renem-
bered, had a long standing challenge
70 Johnny Kilbane on record.
He permitted the featherweight
champions meeting with the French
man only on condition that the win
ner gave him a match for the title.
| He compelled both Kilbane and
| Criqui to post forfeits guaranteeing
this. Then he proceeded to lose his
title to Bernstein.
At that, Dundee's defeat per.
| haps saved the commission from
delicate situation. If he were
still in possession Of the junior
lightweight championship he would
have grounds for demanding more
than l2% per cent to box Criqui.
1t. might be argued that as the
challenger for the featherweight
title, Dundee would be entitled to no
more. But on the other hand as
Johns title also would be at stake
he would be justified in holding out
against the / to division.
Under these circumstances, the
commission, with its usual Solomon.
esque judgment, probably would
nave ordered an equal division of
the purse. But this is merely point.

 "As a result of its painstakng in- vestigation the commission was con frmed in the conclusion previously reached by the several aeries. that the old age pension is the most efTee. tive. and, on the whole. the least ex. pensive method of caring for the dis. abled toilers. Accordingly. it has. by the preparation and distribution oi literature and through clubs and public addresses, sought to create q public sentiment that will secure the enactment of laws providing old age pension.

MIR. elLPATRlc EXPLAINS
Sets Rumor at Rest Concerning Mys-
 terious Sign on Bank Building

You can say for me, G. Harold GHpatrie, cashier of the First Nation al Bank, is quoted as saying. "that the sign at the top of the bank building now being remodeled, does not refer or indicate that Chinese restaurant is to have the entire second floor of the bank building" Thus is set at rest all the rumors that have been go- ing about town to the effect that a restaurant is going to share the build ing when it IS once again opened to the public.
 Mir. Gilpatrie was appealed to in the hope that he would explain what the sign means. But aside from his denial of the restaurant rumir, noth- ing further was forthcoming from him. Although the sign asks the reader to as kfor further informa- ton" from the postmaster, Mir. Mac donald k more uncommunicative than ever. So as the sign states, t locks as if the curious public must wait un- til April first Co find out what it's all about.
 At the top of the biz sign are what appear to be Hebrew letters. Trans lated into English, these are said to mean Everybody will be there Be where? is the question everybody is asking.
 The whole thing seems secret. Nc one appears to know what 1t is al about. The postmaster won't tell ant nobody else wants to divulge the SC eret.
 At least there k some satisfaction in knowing that Chinese restaurant isn't going to occupy the second floor of the bank building
