MICHIGAN. CITY, Ind, May 24- Tom Gibbons boxed three rounds today with lilly Kid Hermann at his Grand Beach camp in preparation for his fight with Georges Carpentier a week from today.

OPEN AIR FIGHT SEASON TOBEGIN Villa To Box Frankie Ash If Weather
 Is Right

(By Leased Wire to The Age.asrziay
 New York, May 24.--The open-alf fight season which had been postponed half dozen times because of rainy cr cold weather, may get under way next Tuesday night with bout between Pancho Villa, flyweight champion, and Frankie Ash of England. If the weathef is fair and the crowd is large villa will agree to bandy fists with the little Briton with the championship at stake, If the winter hangover continues and the trade is small the champion and the promoter will find 1t easy to call off or postpone the entertainment. Red Dog Luis Vicentini, the Chilean lightweight of the scarlet shoes, will receive further education from Johnny Dundee inside week, weather permit ting. Red Dog Luis was to have been given a match with Benny Leonard after meeting Pal Moran. However, the decision giving him a victory over Moran was so wildly denounced as an act of larceny that Tex Rickard, who is trying to develop Vicentini for an in ternational championship bout with Leonard, did not have the nerve to at tempt this production just yet. If Vicen- tini can catch Dundee on one of his off nights and out-spank him, Rickard will resume his advocacy of the Leonard Vicentini show. te
 Dundee also has accepted battle with Sammy Mandell of Rockford, H., to be fought somewhere near Chicago on June 9. This will be a ten-round- CT, in which the theoretical junior lightweight title will be in theoretical danger. The risk is purely theoretical, however, as there will be no decision. Thus Dundee, holder of the feather weight championship of the world, fights two men in two weeks and does not risk his real title in either bout.
