Tunney VS.. Gibbons.

meets Tom Gibbons in a fif-
teen-round contest in New
York. The winner will merely
have disposed Of another alleged
contender for Jack Dempsey's
title.
Tom Gibbons is not considered
worthy Of the title. He lacks the
aggressiveness going with cham
pion. He is an excellent boxer,
however, and may give Tunney a
lot of trouble.
Tunney, until recently defending
the American light heavyweight
title-which means little or moth
ing-is a pleasant young man who
likes to spar. No such pleasant
young man is likely ever to achieve
the greatest title of them all, un-
less the world stands upon its
head.
The dope says that Gibbons will
win, which means that Tunney will
fade from view in a brief time.

WATER POLO PLAYERS
LET THEIR ANGER RULE

International water polo is not
always the tame, clean game Il has
the reputation of being. In g. re-
cent match between the seven Of
the Antwerp, S. c., champions of
Belgium, and the crack team of
the Neptune s. c., of Turcoing,
France, a dispute led to a fistic
battle in which no less than nine
players from both sides were in
volved. The skirmish became so
bitter that the president Of the
Brussels s. c., where the match
was held, called the men out of
the water and refused to allow
play to be resumed.

WORCESTER, Mass, June 2--
Professional chance takers usual

between the putter and the cup.
@ Yet today, twenty-four hours

open, lot of wise money is being
wagered that the winner of the
gruelling 72-hole grind will be
one of three men-McDo

as "a money golfer" which means
Walter always plays his best when
compelled to. His record Of winning
two British opens, the American
open and innumerable other titles
dustifies the description Of him.

Preserve sweetness by loving peo-
