SPORTS, Tom Gibbons Only 31, He Declares : Glenna Collett Proves Her BOXER TO MEET TUNNEY WANTS EXACT AGE KNOWN Was “Born on March 22, 1894, All Opinions to the Contrary Notwithstanding”—Brother Mike’ Ring Fame Was Handicap at Start. BY SPARROW Mcu ANN. EW YORK, May 25.—One thing that Tommy Gibbons wants to be clearly established in the minds of the boxing fans as he prepares for his bout with Gene Tunncy relates to his age. Tommy is not 35, or 6, or 7, as many persons seem to think. “I want it known,” said Gibbons, “that I was born on March 1894, That is the exact date of my birth, all opinions to the contrary notwith- standing.” This being so, the first thing Tommy should do is to get at the people who compile record books, where his year of birth is given as 1889.

Fred McLeod, Washington's former open titleholder, from the Columbia Country Club, went to Lido with hand and arm swollen far above nor- mal size as a result of a vaccination nearly two weeks ago. McLeod played a few holes yesterday at Columbia and hopes his arm will be in good shape by Wednesday. With McLeod went Robert T. nett of Chevy Chase, James L.

The Army has won from Syracuse and Hobart, leading Northern teams, and others, and the Navy from Johns Hopkins, which won the Southern title last season, and many other notable combinations. The Navy is a slight favorite, due to the fact that it has been in the game longer and that the contest is on the home grounds. Last year, the first time the two met, the Navy won, 5 to 0 The service base ball and field and track contests will take place at West Point. The Navy appears to have a little better of it on the diamond, but the Soldiers seem to have the edge in the other sport The Navy crew, after its victory over Harvard and Syracuse here Sat- urday, rules as one of the great col- lege eights.
