phaeton or buggy was the only means
of conveyance. the city man and his

holidays. when the whole day could
be devoted to reaching the desired
location, fishing and returning.
THE truth is that the easily
reached brooks. ponds. lakes and
rivers were soon fished out and the
greater part Of the day was spent in
reaching a location far from the
haunts of man.-little time being left
for fishing or picnicing.
The automobile has changed this
for the fisherman. 1t gives him a

F OUR REASONS
FOR GIBBONS
TOLAND
Eddie Kane, ChaIIenger's Man.
ager, Tells Just Why His
Man Should Win.
BY DAVIS j. WALSH.

SHELBY, Mont, June 23.-Edd!e
Kane is a slight handful OF MAJ
with sandy hair, an Irish eye that
can either be humorous or menac-
ing, and the Gibbons complex. In
accents calm and dispassionate, he
will inform you he is the manager
of the next worlds heavyweight
champion, much after the manner
of one mentioning a commonplace
"a fact
His confidence is infectious. 1t
IS of such faith that mountains are
moved and the impossible made
possible. Kane is a man with a
vision, an ideal. He sees hot

why are you so CONFIDENT"
We asked Kane today.
There are four very good
reasons" was the reply. Gibbons
has been an active fighter, second
ly, he has speed; third. he has
brains, and the fourth reason is
his punch"
We bounced upon this last with
the avid enthusiasm of a born de-
batter. 1t was to laugh. What of
Dempsey's punch? Wasn't it the
harder of the two? Certainly. We
saved time by answering our own
questions.
Yes Mr.. Kane was talking
again. Dempsey has the hardest
punch. But did you ever notice a
home run that dropped six inches
outside the fence. 1t counted just
as much as one that went fifty
feet beyond. The point is that
Gibbons will drop any man he hits
on the button and 1 know he will
hit Dempsey.
80 much for hitting. AS for
speed. there is no comparison. They
talk about Dempseys speed, but
Tom has it on him there by 200 per
cent. He looks wide open, but
when you shoot the punch he isa't
there.
Now for smartness. Tom is
probably the brainiest fighter in
the ring He is smarter than
Dempsey and Kearns combined and
l will miss my guess by Montana
mile if he doesn't out-smart them
both once the bell rings"

PHILADELPHIA, June 23.-Allan

pitcher, is expected to oppose the
Mackmen here today in the, second
game of the series, though Jonkheer

possibility. For the AS. Fred Hell

Walter Johnson, holding the AS
in check with six hits, swung his
team into sixth place yesterday.
The veteran gave as fine a pitching
exhibition as has been seen here
this season and deserved his trt-
umph. to 2.
However, Bryan Harris lost moth
ing but the game. He, too, pitched
fine ball. and had it not been for
the swatting of Joe Judge, the
Washington first baseman, he might
have COPIED. He allowed but eight
hits, Judge getting three of them.
Judges single in the opening
round scored Rice, Goslin following
him on Matthew'S poor handling of
the slam.
In the seventh, Judge wnaoked
his third safe hit, Ruers sacrifice
advancing him. He crossed the

entire affair looks like a clever
stunt on the part of Jack Kearns
to gather in some easy money.
He found his fish in the original
promoters willing to guarantee
him 100000. Certain other good
fellows have rushed to the as
sistance of the whole affair, pre-
ferring not to see the "faIr name
of Montana, etc." dragged in the
dust.
No, we cannot see why any
body fifty miles away from Shelby
should spend the time or the
money to see Dempsey flatten
Tom Gibbons.
One good may come from this
financial fiasco. in Montana. It
may cause other promoters, not
ably those around New York, to
pause a long time before guar
anteeing one red cent or a thin
dime to Jack Dempsey for his
next appearance in the ring.
If Jack Dempsey, with all the
glamor of a champion around his
broad shoulders, cannot attract
to the gate 100000, then he is
not entitled to it, no matter what
the contract may call for. Cham
pion or no champion, boxers are
entitled to nothing more than they
can earn. Their demanding this
and demanding that has reached
we'll beyond the mark of mere
common sense. The end is ap-
parently near at hand.

A Real Dilemma

ACh hEARNS, the sweet
=. scented manager of the
worlds most noted thum-
per, Jack Dempsey, will shortly
face a real dilemma.
On July 2, under the terms
of his contract with the parties
of the second part, Kearns is
to collect his third 100000.
According to the ring experts
now in Montana, there just
isn't any certainty that the
treasury will have that much
money hanging around loose
like. Then will come the di-
lemma.
Will Kearns decline to let
Dempsey enter the ring? Such
action would be correct, &C.
cording to the contract. "Pro-
duce 100000 or no fight"
that's what the contract says.
But Kearns is a Westerner,
don't forget that. If he de-
clines to accept a cent less
than what his contract requires,
thus spelling the afternoon for
those expecting to see a fight,
he knows that Montana and
much of the West will call
everything off. He'll have to
live in the East thereafter.
Those Montana dreamers
may dig deep and pay Kearns
his 100000, taking their
losses as best they may. They
are Westerners, too, remember,
and not cutters.
But that dilemma seems to
be approaching on horseback,
just the same.
