GIBBONG TAXES REST Ao CHAMP HESUMES WORK AFTER DAY OFF "Challenger Ready to Fight for Nothing Rather Than Lose Chance at Title; Many Arrests Made in Shelby for Violations SHELBY, Mont., June 26.—(By The Associated Press).— Interrupting the rigid training regime he has followed dur- ing last week, despite rain and cold weather, Tom Gibbons, contender for Jack Dempsey’s title, rested today. His morn- ing hike and calisthenics were his only muscle stretchers.

NOVEL Briggs Late today he will occupy the mound for the Gibbons Ath- Ietic club team, which is to meet the Shelby nine in a ball game. The rest of the challenger is being taken because he fears that contin- ued strenudus training will draw him too fine for the bout. His weight is about 185 pounds at present. Gibbons will fight on July 4 if he doesn't get a two cent stamp for his pains, he sald last night in response to inquiries concerning rumors that the gate receipts might not run high enough to make his 50 per cent above $310,000, which {s the amount guaran- teed Dempsey, an appreciable sum. “I am ready to fight, I want to fight and the publfc 1s entitled to see a fight,” Gibbons said. “I don't care what the gate receipts are. I will be there when the gong rings ready to fight for the title if I con't get a two cent stamp out af it.’” The motto “Shelby shall be clean,” apparently has been adopted by local enforcement officials. Eleven men have been arrested for alleged viola- tion of the prohibition law during the last 48 hours, two of the leading amusement resorts have been closed and a quantity of whiskey and beer confiscated. GREAT FALLS, Mont., June 26— (By The Associated Press.)—Refresh- ed from a day of complete relaxation, Jack Dempsey today starts the final work of training before the period of “drying out" for his championship match with Tammy Gibbons, in the sun-beked town of Shelby, July 4. ‘The champion will resume boxing in his outdoor ring this afternoon, go- ing four to six rounds with the Nght- er sparring partners in his camp. ‘This will be the schedule until Sun- @ay, according to Jack Kearns, and the jarring Dempsey punches which have been causing pain and conster- nation in the sparring ranka for the last three weeks will be playing ‘‘Pos- sum” from now until they defend their owner's title in the ring against the St. Paul challenger. Dempsey is starting his last train- Ing period in the best of spirits. The grouchy, touchy atmosphere which has usually surrounded the champion within this distance of his previous title bouts is entirely lacking. It ts not lacking because Dempsey is figur- ing that Gibbons will not give him a battle, but always before this, Dempsey has had something to worry about. His weight was not right, his boxing was not fast enough, there were a dozen real or imaginary dif- ficulties which caused him to worry. ete Club Standing Pet. 672 -603 576 531 508 500 Vdostin = _ +323 Philadelphia 283 American League.

Rios <FeeLiny's UEMPOEY POOR PROSPECT WHEN HE ENTERED RING HEAVY SHCA HITTING PUT HIM IN FRONT RANK NEW YORK, June 26.—Jack Dempsey, world heavyweight box- ng champion, who defends his title in a 15-round match with Tom Gibbons, of St. Paul at Shelby, Montana, July 4, was one of the most crude and unpromising fight ers of his class when he made his New York bow in 1915 in a no-dect. sion contest with John Lester John. son, negro. ‘Then in his infancy as a fighter and under the managerial wing of John the Barber, Dempsey appeared a sorry prospect for the champion ship, Johnson, also in fighting baby. hood. had recovered from a knockout from Sam Langford. So they were evenly matched in size and skill and the bout went the Umit of ten rounds. Hach claimed the unofficial dect- sion. The negro's blows, however. were most effective, for a psir of Dempsey’s ribs were damaged by body blows. Dempsey at that time proved to be a one-handed battler. His defense was poor and he swung his right instead of shooting it straight. Among other engagements in his first New York visit Dempsey met Wild Bert Kenny, Andre Anderson and Dan Ketchell. Kenny and An- derson stayed the limit of ten rounds each but Kenny fell in the fifth round. Early in 1917, after a series of exploits by no means bril- liant, Dempsey was knocked out in one round by, Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman. Various reports were cir- culated about that fight and later Dempsey redeemed himself by dis- posing of Flynn in less than a round. While Dempsey’s early perform: ances were mediocre and sugges: tive of anything but future great- ness, he developed into one of the greatest heavyweights in ring his- tory, He severed relations with John the Barber and joined in a business deal with Jack Kearns, his present manager. MATT, he Kodeo ring Dempsey then began to improve his hitting style. Previously he had punched only with his right, using the left solely for defense. Kearns declared that he strapped Dempsey's right arm to his alde and instructed him for months in the use of his left in attack. It was with staggering left hooks to the face that Dempsey’ sent Jess Willard to the floor in the first round of their championship en: i 12-Round Fracas Ha Champion and Many Near Champions Frankie Jummati, Chicago’ Midget Smith July 4 at the Rodeo grou ing at the West A street gym immediately Frankie says he is in good shape off will be in top condition for ence Day afternoon.
