World Results Ring Veterans Brought to Best Fighting in Readiness for Fifteen-Round Go at Polo Grounds NEW YORK, June 5.—(By The Associate Press.) — Two of the leaders of the heavyweight ranks who have been tugging at the mantle of Jack Dempsey, will square off tonight at the Polo Grounds in a fifteen-round bout to ( They are Gene Tunney of New York and Tom Gibbons of St. Paul, clever boxers with punching power TIGERS SHOW | a decision. ANNUAL SPURT Detroit Sluggers Go On Rampage, but Will It Last? By JOHN B. FOSTER. (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, June 5.—Ty Cobb's Detroit ‘Tigers have started their annual effervescence. The question, as in other years, is whether they have enough fizz to carry them through the season. In the ides of May, the Detroits took a whack at the oh! percentage column and raised thelr general score about 145 points, slevating themselves out of last place and winning af @ little better than » two to one clip. Last year, the ‘Tigers swept through the east like a fanning mill cleaning up whea Suppose they should get into a streak of that kind in the east this r on their first round, which starts Friday. What then? The ambitious Ath- le would soon have company. Of course, there are the St. Louls and Cleveland teams to be overtaken before the Tigers-can. claim a berth in the first division, but if they keep on as they are going now, it won't take long to clear that hurdle. Then there will be Chicago and Washing- ton stinding between them and a clash with the leaders. LEGION SHUT OUT BY ELKS INGAME HERE Air tight pitching by John Maples, who hurled in old Midwest league form, backed by hitting in which Arbogast took the lead with four blows won for the Elks yesterday over the Legion, 8 to 0. Arbogast's hits accounted for four of the runs chalked up by ths Bills although costly errors by the Legionnaires al- no figured in the scoring. The Elks counted runs in four of thelr alx innings at bat. The game was the first official contest for the Legion in Oil City league play, a game with the Bur- lington two weeks ago having been ruled out by the executive board, The score: Eiks— Pittman, Ib.

It will be a meeting of two veter- ans of the world war, two expon- ents of the same fighting style and two clean cut warriors whose rec- ords place them on a footing so even. that opinion is equally divided as to the outcome. <A 27 year old eastern bachelor will fight a 36 year old western family man. ‘Two weeks from tonight a second pair of heavyweight contenders will be held before Metropolitan audi- ence, Harry Wills, negro challeng- er accepted as an outstanding. oppo- nent of Jack Dempsey by the Box- ing Board and Charlie Weinert of Newark, N. J. Long and careful training has brought Tunney and Gibbons to their best fighting weights with an advantage of only a pound or two for Tunney. By FAIR PLAY (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, June 5.—That mix-up between’ Gene Tunney and Tommy Gibbons at the Polo Grounds on Friday night is a hard one to dope. For that matter, any battle these days is hard to dope. When a poor boxer like Berlen- bach wins over a good boxer like MeTigue on points it 1s like a wallop on the chin, so far as the poor trust- ing critic is concerned, and he 1s inclined.to Jose faith in mankind generally and fighter in particular. Physically, the two men will enter the ring on equal terms, Gibbons has the edge in generalship and ex- perience, but Tunney offsets this with his youth and the sympathy of the home crowd. Besides, has any- one ever heard of Tunney getting the worst of it from the réferee and judges in his New York bouts? Each possesses confidence, but whether that confidence curries the will to fight and win at all costs remains to be .se Club Standings | AMERICAN LEAGUE. Team— We le _Pet.

Johnny ought to be able to find his rocking chair and slippers without any trouble, It takes more than physical power, brute strength, to make a good ball player. “Hack” Miller, erstwhile outfielder for the Chicago cubs, can vouch for that. Miller is known as the strongest man in baseball. He comes natur- ally by His strength. His father was famous af a Sandow. Many tales are told anent the power in Hack's mighty arms, legs, back and jaw. Biting nails in two is one of his feats. He can take an average man by the ankles and lift him high in the air, and has done it for his teammates But the same muscular power, no | doubt, handicappea him, While he | od advantage in | \ ep d too slow the outfield the Cubs, the other sent him back to the club from which they obtained him —the O@kland team of the Pacific Coast League. Miller has served two terms in pig time, and beth times has land- ad back in Onkland, Back in 1918, when the Pacific Coast League dis- banded on account of the Buropean frolic Miller finished the season with the Red Sox, He failed to impress the Sox owners, however, and was allowed to rejoin the Oaks when the 1919 season opened. The Cubs bought him at the close of the 1921 season His first year up he played regu- larly in the outfield and slapped the apple for a .862 average. He was a regular the following year but his batting dropped to one polit above 201 and his fielding was but fair. Last year he broke {nto but 63 games, Io collected @ .336 average in those games, however. Despite his failure to stick in the big show he got s6me thrills out of his trips. While with the Red Sox in 1918 he broke {nto one game of the world’s nerfes, and collected a slice of the watermelon, Speaking of Johnny Dundee, the Scotch Wep Ss now being forced to go through with a match with Sid Terris, considered by fair minded critics one pf the best lightweight» in the game today.
