Shelby’s Dream Comes True Today With Staging of Heavyweight Title Contest HAD NO HOPE FOR BATTLE WHEN IT MADE FIRST BID Seen as Joke i)y Many, But Kearns Surprised Them by Taking Up Offer—Promoters Have Faced Financial Struggle From OQutset. By the Associated Press. HELBY, Mont, July 4—The Jack Dempsey-Tom Gibbons heavy- weight championship fight, the dream of card-playing idlers in this boom town on a dreary, cold night back in early February, comes true today after one of the most amazing financial promotions in the history of glove fighting. .. Shelby was waiting for spring that would bring new drilling in the oil fields when these card players thought it would be a delightful stunt to bid for a world championship fight. Perhaps they remembered how Tex Rickard put Goldfield, Nev., on the map with the Gans-Nelson fight. A telegram was dispatc hed to Jack Kearns, manager of the heavy- weight champion, offering him $200,000 to match Dempsey against Tom Gibbons July 4. Gibbons’ manager was wired an offer of $50,000. The stories sent ‘out over the wires probably caused some smiles and a lot of caustic comment. Shelby laughed uproariously and enjoyed its joke. Then Kearns, with an eye for busi- ~ BIG FIGHT FACTS ness, surprised the Shelbvites by By the Associated Press. answering that he was interested. Shelby laughed again.

TOM GIBBONS, LATEST “VIEWS” OF CHAMPION AND CHALLENGER IN TODAY’S FIGHT Challenge CHAMPION BIG FAVORITE IN SHELBY FIGHT POOLS Jack Is Picked to Score in Fourth, Fifth or Sixth Rounds—Unlike Most of Heavyweight Title Scraps, There Is Little Betting. By the Associated Press. HELBY, Mont,, July 4—While little or no betting was reported on the championship battle, the sentiment of the various fight pools in operation here was almost unanimously in favor of Dempsey ay the winner. In the principal pool of Shelby, in which it was claimed almost $7, had been paid, the majority of the speculators picked Dempsey to kno out Gibbons in either the fourth, fifth or sixth rounds Contrary to most of the world championship fights, on which mas thousands of dollars were wagered, little speculative interest seems t have.been taken in the Dempsey-Gibbon match. One Shelby sporting m said that up to date only $500 in Gibbons money had appeared. He sa it had been offered at 1 to 3. JOHNSTON AND HUNTER . WIMBLEDON FINALISTS By the Assoclated Pres [MBLEDON, )July 4—William M. Johnston and Francis T.

( Norton of South Africa, 64, 6—2, 6—4, and Hunter besting F. Gordo Lowe of England, 6—3, 7—5, 6—4. Both the Americans found they had fights on their hands, wit! Johnston facing the more brilliant of the two Englishmen. Norton kep: going at a great clip throughout the match against the harder and ca nier player, and went down battling to the last. The final game, in which Johnston had the service, went to deuce five times. It was a fast, driving game which from the start developed the best tennis witnessed in the stadium since the classic tilt between Johnstc and Vincent Richards.
