GIBBONS HAS MADE BOXING HIS CAREER “Tommy" Has Been in Ring Since He Was a Youngster | Bt Paul, June &-—~Just about the| time most anxious fathers are “feel :"'z :_"‘\'r;(':':lr sons to ascertain their I rii desives, a young man of Bt Paul—"hardly more than a kid," his friends sald-—gripped the lower rung of the ladder of pugilistic fame It was his selectidn for a life pro fession, and how well he has master €4 it will he demonstrated July 4 when he seeks to wrest the heavyweight boxing erown from Jack Dempsey at Fhelby, Montana For the young man who decided on flsticuffs as a life work was Tommy Gibbone of K. Paul, enly a youth of 14 years when he answered the lure of the game. Many hoxers have gain- €d their start In the ring through their prowess a rough-and-tumble mixers, with scienca developed later 88 a necessary requisite to greater success, Not so with Tommy Gibbons. It was purely a_business proposition with him, and he selected his carear for the same reason that many other young nmen have entered less violant profes. slons, It was the attraction of more money than he could make any other way. Path Beaten By Drother, Tommy's path had been beaten by his brother, Mike Gibbons, five years his senior, whose hoxing skill Iater gained for him the sobriquet of .““The Phantom.” It was the verbgl Persua slon of Milk, coupled with his suc cess at Ngging, that declded. Tom gy “T had left school and had gone to work for the Great Northern rallway here,” he sald in recounting bis start “0Of course, I was only making a. little nioney; no more than any kid of that ege 1s likely to make “One day Mike came to me with a/ proposition that I enter the ring. He eaid he could pay me more than the rallrond company could, and as T had watched with some envy the money Mike was making, I decided to take | him up “Mike was a great teacher, and grom that time until very recent years when Mike's eves have been bother- ing him, he gave me thorough in- etruction. It is to this, of course, that| 1 owe much of whatever boxing abil- ity 1 possess.” It was the luster cast over him by his brother's success that took Tom- my into his first fight—informal quiet affairs at a little “athletic club™ the | young men maintained out in the Gib- | bons' neighborhood. | Fxpected Him To Be Fighter “The fellows expected me to be a fighter just because Mike was' Tom- my sald, “and so they generally matched me with the big fellows, I didn’t have much to gain, for they all expected me to win my fights, but 1 had a lot to lnse—at least, it seemed a lot then—and so I naturally fought| ‘over my head’ as a rule” | The father of Mike and Tommy had o keen aversion to fighting. It was over hia strong protests that Mike en- tered the game, but when the senfor Gibbons saw the remuneration that might result from a single engage- ment, his opposition gradually van- {ched and had disappeared by the time |} Tommy was ready for the professional | § Ting. However, the senior Gibbons never gaw elther one of his sons in the ring. | & He died on the night that Tommy | fought Billy Miske in New York last | October; a fight Tommy enterad with | knowledge of his father's serfous ill- | yess. The bout terminated when Glb-‘ Vons fouled Miske | Tommy was the youngest member | of the family, and, he declares, “na- | turally somewhat a fav orite.”” He tells with a smile of the day he and Mike sframed” a bout with their father as | the only spectator. This mixup ended | when Tommy “knocked out" Mike. | He was glad to see the younger one get the best of it the senior Gibbons gaid, after he - saw Mike was not gerfously hurt, BIG CROP OF PEANUTS WILL HELP LOWER PRICES| Familiar Cry of “Five Cents a Bag" May Again Soon Be Heard on Streets, Chicago, 'June §.-—The bleacherite | gnd circus fan will get a bigger M.g‘ of peanuts for his moneyv when this cord crop is harvested, Guy | H.

The total| yleld last yvear was §23,507,000 pounds, | valued at abonut $29,222,000. | Inereaged peanut production recent-| v has resulted from the greater use | of machinery, Mr. Hall eaid, pointing ot that machine methods of digging glen put the crop to market more quickly. The "goobers,” as they are known, are grown extensively in sections where the goil is either gandy or of | gandy loam, or where the climate or Poll weevil seriously handicaps cot- ton production.
