All his alleged opponents were as unknown as himself, but he seemed ing young fellow, so Gibson told his manager he would put him on for a try- out up at the Fairmont some Saturday night, and thet if he made good he would be given $75. The offer was scorned. The unknown wouldn't look at anything less than $500. ‘Nough sald,” smiled Gibson, and this interview wai over. BOXING SUCCESS DEPENOS ON HOW GARDEN A C. IS RUN. All the time Gibson kept digging through his mail, occasionally calling up Philadelphia or Chicago in the hope of making a good match for the Garden, telegraphing various managers what he had to offer in the way of work for their| } men, ordering meat for his restaurant, hiring an attendant for the Classon Point carousel, giving some political advice to a friend from the Bronx, telling the printer about tickets for the Fairmont and several hundred other small bits of buniness.
