GIBBONS BEST
 BOXER DEMPSEY
 HAS EVER FACED

NEW YORK, June 28.-(By Asso' ciated Press.)-When Tommy Gib- bons, St. Paul heavyweight. steps into the ring at Shelby, Montana, July against Jack Dempsey, the champion. he may be compared in some respects to Gentleman Jim" Jorbett when that dapper boxing wizard squared off against John L. Sullivan at New Orleans in 1892.
 Gibbons chances against Dempsey have been belittled by majority of the experts, and indeed, the Min nesotan hardly appears heavy punch CT enough to flatten the Coloradan. But like his middleweight brother Mike, "The Phantom,' Tommy is a master boxer, cool in combat, always clever, always fast and puncher of no mean ability.
 At least year older than Dempsey an inch or two shorter and really a iight-heavyweight. Gibbons may not be able to stand before the cham pion for 15 rounds. Except in age Corbett was much younger than Sul- livan when they met in New Orleans Gibbons and Dempsey will be like ''Gentleman Jim" and Terrible John L." in that famous scrap Of 3l years ago.
 Sullivan's terrific punching power, like that of the Dempsey of today. caused many a sturdy opponents knees to quake when he thought of it. and many of them were defeated by fear before Sullivan laid glove on them. Not so Corbett. When Jim took his corner at New Orleans John l.. scowled, shuffled his fact and spat on the ring floor his GUS tomary greeting. Jim laughed and chatted with ringsiders as the gloves were being pushed upon his hands. He paid no attention to Sullivan.
 Through the rounds. as agile Jim sidestepped Sullivan's bull-like rushes. the, champion became infuriated. Came the famous twenty-first round,

BATTLING" JOHNSON MAKES HIT WITH LOCAL FANS BOXERS READY
 FOR LEGION SMOKER NEXT WEEK

Battling" Johnson, holder of the amateur welterweight title of West ern Canada, who meets Joe Brady, zion smoker next Tuesday evening, as a real fighter and took part in a more serious pastime than the ring game. For three and one-half years Johnson fought the Heinies in France as a member of a Canadian organiza- tion and brought home something besides German helmets as souven- frs.
 The one which will last him long est is a disfigured. feelingless, right hand On his arm just above the hand is a scar from a bullet wound while the entire palm is marked where a bit of shrapnel almost robbed fixed him up until it is abcgt as good as new as far as looks are concerned and, for the purposes of the ring game, slightly better For in the process of healing, operation was necessary which left the right hand without nerves. The fl gers are as flexible as ever and circu- lation not impeded in the slightest. but as for the sense of feeling there is none To that extent it might as well be hand of stone, said John son.
 Confident of Winning
 Johnson is supremacy confident of winning his fight with Brady. When told that the Douglas boy is a tough customer possessed of a kick in both mitts. the Canadian bat tier nodded contentedly and without the least sign of boasting declared he was glad of it. Plainly he is not looking for a set-up. He wants it to be good scrap.
 If he wins Johnson will take no prize money back to Port Althorp with him. Not that he has spent it or owes it to someone; he has already donated it to the Legion to be added to it's building fund which is being raised to erect a home for the local ex-service mems organiza- tion. He is employed at the Deep Sea Salmon Company's plant at Port Althorp and during his ab- sence he draws no pay. He has been here since last Sunday and will remain until after the Fourth, paying his own way, asking nothing in re- turn but good scrap, because, as he says, he loves the game.

 He has seven years of ring ex- perience but is a modest chap about his battles Since the war he served

q hitch in the Canadian Mounted Pc l lice. In his workouts at the Par ochial gymnasium this week, he has attracted considerable notice. He is working with Sinclair Brown in put ting the finishing touches on the latter's training for the bout with Joe Collier
 Brown in Shape
 Brown is in first class physical going to put Joe to sleep. Such a thing as failure doesn't enter his mind for minute.
 Collier is equally confident. Joe is going into this scrap with a grim determination of winning by kayo Not only that, but he has declared when he does so, he will have earned a right to meet Ford Butler, the soldier boxer who took his crown away several months ago, and he will ask for another chance at But Ter. Collier is training as hard for his coming fight as any in his car Heer. He believes he can beat Brownie but is taking no chance of not being fit for the hardest scrap of his life.
 One Bout Cancelled
 The bout scheduled between Bill Beaudin and Tommy Wilson has been cancelled, it was announced today by J. w. Kehoe, chairman of the Legion smoker committee. Beaudn has been suffering from an attack of rheumatism and is in no shape to go on. In place of this bout, Joe Williams, of of Golfers sparring part ners will meet Jose Salgada, clever Filipino. Williams is a light weight while the Filipino is some seven or eight pounds under the 132-pound class The latter has some strong backing and believes he can win despite the weight he is giving away.
 One other bout remains to be ar ranged. Several men are anxious to go on and this will be closed up today or tomorrow
 Tickets Begin to Move
 Ticket sales are picking up for the smoker and indications are that Elks Hall will be filled to capacity Reserved seat tickets are on sale at Burfords,' the Brunswick and the Alaskan Hotel, and at Guys Drug Store at Douglas

Wigs With Glass Hair.

supplemented by the actual experience
of owners of heads Of glass hair. has
shown the new product TO be the very
best substitute for real hair yet de-
vised. says the Philadelphia Public Led
ger.
Spun glass wigs and toupees are ex-
traordinartly light in weight and so nat
ufal in appearance that detection as a
substitute is Impossible by merely look
ing at or feeling the wig. The matching
nf the color of natural hair is a much
lighter task when spinning the glass
hair than when coloring other substi-
tutcs. the makers say. and the danger
OF fading is not present. since the color
ing matter is mingled with the glass
throughout the body of the hair.
Curls and waves can be put in and
although they are permanent in so far
as atmospheric conditions or sea baths
are concerned, they can be redone ac-
cording TO the latest fashion by the wig
