TOMMY GIBBONS :. Rv JOHSt 0iRRIEN.

PARIS, ApfAo 20. -- Whipsawed! ! This will be thei4 4'derisive greeting of Eddie Kane, manager of Tom Gibbons to Billy Gibson, manager of Gene Tun- uey, when Kane returns to New York with a contract in. his pocket for Georges Carpentier's s next fight. 4 Whipsawed! :~ 54
 There will be bookful of meaning in that word when Kane meets Gib- son.
 Gibson tried to spoil match which Kane had arranged, and after a brief period of exultation in the belief that he had whipsawed Kane, suddenly awakened to the fact that he had been whipsawed himself. It took a little double-dealing om fthe part of Carpen- tiers manager, Francois Descamps, to produce this international sport scenario And Kane had to travel S. 900 miles, the distance from St. Paul to Paris and back.
 The story begins way back Tom Gibbons believed in his friend, Eddie Kane, and would not desert him to take up with any of the New York fight managers. Kane awas an outsider in New York and, Consequently, Gibbons COulu uOt ScC uHy LAShtSj IAClC' At7 though he is one of the best fighters in the world. Gibson, manager of Gene T6nney, is New York manager, and he always found excuses for lodging the only fighter who has gone 15 rounds with Jack Dempsey.
 A few weeks ago after negotiations by cable, Kane announced that he had reached an agreement with Carpenter for a match with Gibbons at Michigan City. Ind. 9a
 Gibson, in New York, countered by announcing that she had concluded se- cret negotiat tionsf with Carpenter whereby the Frenehman agreed to fight Tunney before meeting Gibbons. That simply meant that Gibbons would be left out in the cold as the first good man to fight Carpenter is expected to knock him oSf aud spoil him for fu- ture fights. =,s.s ats.sI.s ,ss
 The New York managers clique, not content with keeping Gibbons out of the big money iii the metropolis, thought for a moment that they had also snatched away his opportunity for, n big fight outside their Csvn paili- wick. ss

Kane played 'possum. He pretend ed to be licked.; rs
 And while Gibson was exulting, Kane slipped away to Paris a week ago on the Leviathan, accompanied by Jack Curley, the old wrestling promoter. Saturday. Kane and Curley signed articles with Descamps for 1O-round, no-decision match with Carpenter at Michigan City, Ind, about May 31. Kane represented Gibbons, Descamps signed for Carpentier and Curley' post ed forfeit of $15.0O0 on behalf of Floyd Fitzsimmons, the Chicago pro- moter. 'zi
 Descamps then announced that there was nothing in his agreement for a Carpentier-Tunney fight on Juhe 16 which would prevent the acceptance of the earlier bout with Gibbons. Kane, on the other hand, fully aware of Des- camps quaint manner of dealing, in- sisted on plain clause, stating that Carpenter should not box anyone in America before meeting Gibbons.
 It is. understood that Garpentier is to receive n guarantee of $50, ,000 and the option of q share of the gate re- ceipts.

VANMEER SYNDICATE
MAKING RAPID HOLE

Bob Vanmeer, business man of
Sweet Grass, can be seen in Ke-
vim most daily now. Bob is the
inancier Of the Vanmeer syndi-
cate which is drilling a we'll out
in 1852. While spudding in only
a few days ago, this we'll is be-
low the 600 foot mark, and going
down at rapid gate, with Jack
Decker at the drill and Bill Mans
field overseeing operations. Mr..
Vanmeer is very optimistic over
the prospects they have for get
ting good well, and remarks
that if they should happen to hit
big, that it would mean that the
syndicate would keep on going
and that perhaps, several COM
pletions would be made. 1t is
most likely to be a good well as
it is jammed right up close to the
Shoshone producers, which is
claimed to be as good as there is
in the field. Through the efforts
of Mr.. Vanmeer, the president,
the syndicate are paying all bills
as they go and have plenty of
available funds to close their
completion.
