Those ‘who know him are sure thut‘ 'he will take the next step to a cham-| | pions when he meets Georges Cur- “)ontwr in October. | Many of those who know him feel | sure ‘that some day he will wear the| heavyweight erown—not soon maybe,| 'but_some day. | Gibbons deserves a champmxnhm' if 'a boxer ever ‘merited one. His| rise from the ‘handicap of being/| merely a great brother’s brother has| been one continuation ‘of trials. For some strange reason, a certain | element of the boxing crowd refused to entertain the St. Paul boy seri- ously. It is to his everlasting credit| that he did not have the support of‘ that faction. Credit for allhis victories was u taken away with the claim that h-; " Press dispatches indicating Great|was a hot-house plant being nurtured, to leave to Unit-| ing of the sub-| on “set-ups.” They camped on his trail incessant-} ly and ridiculed him, charging him| with everything short of erime.

TFinally he got Larry | Williams, a big tough fellow, and he got $800 for knockmg him out when the poorest boxers in New York were getting three and four thousand dol- lars from Tex Rickard. Tom then signed a contract to meet any opponent the promoters could get for him for a 15-round bout lat Ibbet’s Field. The promoters wired him to write the name of Bart- {ley Madden in the contract. When | he arrived in New York he found that ,Mfl«l(lun would not sign and that Jack |Cli flurd, a sparring partner of the ampion, had been secured. He 1 to meet Clifford, and he knocked | thim out. | Bill Brennan wanted $45,000 to meet the St. Paul boy.

The real fact of the case is that Gibbons never asked for a cent., Rickard asked Ed- die Kane, his manager, how much he wanted for a match, and Kane told him that he would not accept a flat guarantee and that he would work only on a percentage basis. The con- tract was signed on this basis. Tommy has never opened his mouth No doubt he knew that he could get) top m spite of the barriers put here now.
