This picture was taken the other day at the Washington park when the fighter went down to the dugout to greet the noted pitcher. GIBBONS MAY TAKE ON BOUT IN LONDON By (United F RY L. FARRELL 3 ditor) 17,—(United xing fans, accord. ing to I y Lavene, London news paperman, are quite worked up with the hope of seeing one of the lead ing American heavyweights in action this summer. Lavene, in this country resentative of Major W Rickard of the British ring, is pour- ing words into the ears of American managers that they are missing the opportunity of the year if they do not take thelr boys to England. London is now acting as the host to thousands of ‘visitors to the Em- pire Exhibition and the promoters of the big carnival are so keen for American attraction features that Tex Austin and his famous troupe of bronk riders, bull-doggers and calf ropers are to be imported in June, to show the British a real rodeo. J y, of course, is first to Lavene. In addition to the novelty of seeing a world's heavyweight champion do his stuff on the screen, the British ‘sonal interest in the aid. Dempsey made a tremendous hit when: he was in England two years ago and the ad- miration which was once bestowed on Carpentier was transferred to the ebampion, Realizing the many reasons that Dempsey might have for not want ing to-risk his title in England, the British promoters have abandoned any hope of being able to offer a purse of sufficient size to tempt Dempsey to take a chance on his $5,000,000 chin, Major Wilson is prepared to make an offer to Tom Gibbons to meet Jack Bloomfield, generally recogniz ed among his countrymen as the British champion. The major be Heves that a Gibbons-Bloomfield match would be almost as attractive & match as one in which Dempsey might appear, as there would be more of a contest factor in the match, Becauso he went fifteen rounds with Dempsey without being knock- ed off his feet or seriously hurt, the British promoters feels that Gibbons is the best attraction in the world to Dempsey. figures also as Bloomfield and Gibbons are next that the same weight, it would be a real contest. Bloomfield ts the national pugitia- tle idol in England now and we ar told that he has impr das a fig¢hbt er tromend y since was in thf y four years ago trying to get matches In the middleweight class. Major Wilson figures that they could draw more than 100,000 spec tators In the Wemble stadium to see Gibbons and Bloomfield fight and that they would find plenty of cus tomers for ringside seats at American offi $100] each. He suggested that Gibbons could make more money in that one fight in London than he could make in three bouts in this country. It is probable that Gibbons, how- ever, will not consider any offer to go to England until he has become convinced that he can’t do any busi- ness in this country. Eddie Kane, manager of Gibbons, with some business sagacity, recalls that there is an income tax in Eng- land and one in the United States, and that when John Bull and Uncle Sam finished pulling out their end of the purse that there wouldn't be the mint left by any means. Dempsey, of course, will figure the same way. The champlon has had so many expertences with the tax collectors that he has come to the conclusion that if he fights more than once a year he will be fighting almost entirely for the government. Professional boxers have the reputa. tion of having a great distaste for fighting in any way for the govern- ment. American managers, with . any kind of a title at stake, would hesié tate about risking their business as- sets to the judgment of British judges or referees, who have some very strict ways of awarding pointa and who have not the same theory of American officials who believe that the champion is allowed to make the rules suit his own pur: poses, eee Dempsey, {t {s a cinch, never will risk his title to the judgment of a foreign referee, or even a strange jal. Dempsey would last three rounds in the ring with a competent British referee, if he pulled off the stunts that he ala on Tom Gibbons at Shelby last sum- mer. He would be out of the ring titleless if he gave a courageous re- feree an exhibition of rule violation that he gave in his fight against Firpo. The champlon's friends argue that he was out of his head when he fouled Firpo th or four times, but there is no exception granted in the rules for a fighter who is out of his head and a fighter who is in pos session of all his mental facultios, not If Gibbons should win from Car pentier in a round or two, he might decide to take an offer from the British promoter, beca use he would be forced to retire if he hig only field w After | a the United Carpentier big st almost om what happened during the winter that Dempsey wants no moi of Tom Gibbons. ——.—__.

Erection of such a stadi: is a big undertaking, but it cou 2 ac- complished if Penn succeed: as is hoped, in obtaining the co-operation of the Philadelphia city admunisgra- tion. If the Penn relays, in thelr pres- ent high state of popularity, could be arranged so that the special events did not start and finish in the chutes—and there is no reason why they could not in a properly con- structed stadium—the growth of that event would soon warrant a 100,000 seat stadium. And as for football and other tm- portant athletic events, such a pro- ject 1s well worth considering. Football fans are stirred up over discussion of the possible return of Percy Haughton to Harvard In 1915. ‘The writer is inclined to think, how- ever, that that question will not be decided until after, or at least near, the end of the 1924 football season. And the answer will depend upon the showing Haughton makes at Co- lumbia next fall. . That Haughton has advanced Co- lumbia’s football possiblities goes without saying. He is an excellent organizer and knows the game thor- oughly. Should Columbia jump into the front ranks next fall, there would be a strong ‘eel'ng among Columbia graduates that Haughton should be retained against all other bidders. _S-.

Yale swung down the course with a deliberate stroke whieh contained a world of power and finished with no indication of exhaustion. There was perfect coordination and a general poise which stamped this crew as al- together worth while, When you have-a crew of big men who are able to do something more than pull their own weight—this Is not always the case with a heavy outfit—you have a formidable com- bination; for the rule that a good big man can beat a good little man applies as often to rowing as to any form of competitive sport. -334; Snyder, New York .333; Grimes, Chicago .326; Blades, St. Louis .326; Tierney, Boston .326.
