Where Gibbons Falls Down.

At the present writing. Mr.. Thomas
Gibbons, the Irish settlement OF ST.
Paul. is not inclined to take any stock
in the popular theory that the world
will beat a track to the workshop of
skilled mechanics who deal in superior
makes of mouse traps.
Less than year ago Mr.. Gibbons
did something no other knuckle genius
had ever been able to do: he fought
fifteen rounds against Dempsey the
Killer without pausing once to study
intimately the texture of the canvass
covering the Montana ring. d.
Not only did Mr.. Gibbons elude the
Killers knockout needle but he weaved
his way through the full test without
suffering single knockdown. Up to
that time Dempsey opponent who
lasted longer than set o. morals in
Greenwich Village was locke : upon as
n cross between a superman and
pair OF brass suspenders.
Mr.. Gibbons. on the other collection
of digits. is being looked upon merely
as something to keep away from. 1t
may be true that he made name for
himself but as Shakespeare said. you
can't keep on buving liver and onions
and shoes for the kids with only a
name.
As Dempsey's foremost challenger,
Mr.. Gibbons appears to be getting no.
where with great speed. Richard had
him matched and then unmatched him.
Carpenter was going to battle him in
July but. Senior Firpo tits Cas-
lillian eyebrow and inquiries: 'Who is
this Gibbons person"
Now what's tbp low down. the sub
cellar slant on Mr.. Gibbons? Why
don't the promoters fall all over their
bunions trying to match him? Next
TO Dempsey he's the hot shot of the
heavyweights. and this takes in Wills,
Renaut and all the rest. Yet Gibbons
is farther away from the big money
than Wales is from the bareback rid
ing champion of England
The answer is that Mr.. Gibbons
does not deal lavishly in the hokum of
pressagentry. He hides his left hook
under n water bucket. He seems to
| think that il he gets out and does his
work that is sufficient. And maybe it
is-up to n point.
The sport bug is queer insect.
Efficiency unaccompanied by color
leaves him cold. But give him the old
hip-hip-hurrah hunk. let him hear the
drums roll and the cymbals clash.
steam him up with mystery and
hesoics. and he'll fall for anything.
from a trained flea hurdle race to a
peroxide blond.
You realize that Mr.. Gibbons lacks
color when you discover after all these
Years that he has no fighting name.
You read of Dempsey the Killer.
F'irpo the Wild Bull and Wills the
Brown Panther But when y)u
read of the st. Paul man he is just
Tommy Gibbons.
