OF YOUTH OVER OLDER PUGILIST Gibbons’ Ring Days Ended; Tunney Emerges as Magnificent Specimen Possessed of Brilliant Chances. By ROBERT T. SMALL, sper Tribune.) YORK, June &.—It was a night for youth—a June night with « full moon hanging like a vast antern in the sky. There was the call of youth in the air. The night as warm and sultry. In a square yped circle which the sport insists s a ring, youth stood looking wide- oyed into the world. The spotlights peat brilliantly upon the young sladiator. Out of the light, in the shradowy caverous grandstands of he Polo Grounds, youth must have predominated in the great crowd. For there came out of that crowd youth's call of death for the old and There was the cry of the pack the trail. Hands and feet beat a gic threnody They the youth in the ring also was young. The experts had said that youth svould be an offset by exper! anfit. on sald man opposed to ence. But Tunney, devil dog, squared away against Tommy Gibbons, craftsman of the padde as easy to gee that and that Tommy young “It was a bad night for Tommy,’ sai@ a sportsman at the ringside nopping the beads from his brow. “Gene has the tiger blood at last arked gnothe And so it pr not give youth ten night.

The ring has never known such man as he. been the nearest approach, but Tommy's career has not had the flash and brilliance that Tunney promises. On this June night, two gentlemen crossed swords and at the end of the bout but one remained—by far, the better one. The experts said Gene Tunney Incked the killer instinet, The ex- perts said Tommy Gibbons would make him look clumsy as a boxer. Tommy had been readiug thé ex- pert: He grinned like a Cheshire cat ag he danced into the ring. The grin became something of a sneer as he looked at Tunney's corner. Gene had not been reading the ex- perts. He had been far away from the Manhattan crowd, up there at Saratoga L He had been think- ing and perhaps dreaming. Thefe was a far-away look in his eyes. They were fixed on the heights. Gene had been playing golf. He d often shot into the rough. He saw the hazards and the bunkers ahead, but he had learned that skill and precision and a will to win could overcome every obstacle in the path to the final goal. On this June.night, he had work to do and there was a grim mouth and jaw below those kindly blue eyes—a mouth and jaw that told much to those who knew the boy from Greenwich Village and the amb! ition, which burned in his soul. Old Tom still was grinning as the bell sounded for the first round. He flashed at Tunney with all of his old time speed. The fight started a zip which Ufted the crowd to fect. But Tommy's blows were short. They fafled for the irst time in his ring career to meet r target. Soon they became wild and Tommy and his speed looked foolish. On this June night, there Wis a faster man in the ring. the best boxer of the met a better boxer. Gene measured his blows. They e. They were not wild jar swings, but there was a da sting and a soul-searing burn in every one of them. Gene's | constant tatoo on ‘Tommy's face and mouth and eyes. And soon the grin was gone—gone in a smear of blood, gone in a real ization that the end had come. Gibbons stood a tremendous amount of punishment, far more as the crowd. growing impatient at times, could realize. Tunney’s blows rang out as the chorus of the cash registers at a five and ten cent store. At times he actually hit six blows while Tommy was countering with a single lash. It seemed that Gib- bons must have an fron head and iron jaw. Tunney's left was all over him, Tommy's head was rocked first to one side and then the other. Tunney’s right was far from idle. It was held in reserve always for the body and the stomach and while the lefts made Tommy's face lke Taw beef, the rights were wearing the old gladiator down, The end came with a suddenness which first startled and then awed @ crowd. The crowd, too, had been reading the experts. Gibbons could not be knocked out, they had said. But there he was, down there groveling on the floor. Tunney had the tiger pace now.

FOSTER | (Copy night 1925 The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, June 8—Bill Wambs Laake if the Boston Red Sox, ts the | figst big league player this season | to achieve a record of 14 fielding chances accepted in one nine inning ball game, There have been higher records tn | other years, but anybody who ac. cepts 14 is entitled to at least three cheers. Wamby, moreover, has ac cepted elght chances per game tn | eight games, which is a better rec-| ord than any other player can claim; has accepted nine chances twice and eleven once. Several infielders have accepted 12 in a. game, including Critz, of Cin cinnat!; Adams of the Cubg, Collins of the Chicago White Sox; Wright of Pittsburgh; Jackson, of the Glants and O'Rourke, of Detroit. Of course the greatest field dis- tinction that ever came to Wamby was the unassisted triple play that he made in Cleveland in the world series with Brooklyn. The play hap- Pened so fast that many fans did not catch up with it until next day, Had this veteran second baseman been able to bat as well as he can field he would have been one of!the Breatest stars of the game. Cleveland let Wamby go in a trade which seemed to be advantageous but today !f Wamby were giving Cleveland the fielding steadiness of which he ts capakle, the Indians might be moving on a little better, Wamby batted as high as .2 once in his major league career and five years after that got back +290, but he could not be w down as a slugger at his best. ‘em out, tten | tinues his good w ork. | Here’s Mr. Rhem New Giant Killer | The Giants had collectéd one or more runs in every game this season until Charles Flint Rhem, Western Association rookie, with the Cardinals, stopped “em dead in their tracks a bit ago, shutting Now Rickey, to| boss, is hoping his new find con- Cardina!
