} | Gibson's Explanation of Settic- ment of Feud With Rickard. j HE American League and the National League had to get together in their original fight years ago, and we are a couple of peanuts compared to those two kreat baseball bodies." That in a nut- shell is Billy Gibson's explanation of his settling the reud with Tex Rickard and vice versa, j ‘The sporting world had wondered long just what the trouble was be- | tween them, and had never found out | exactly what kept the promoter of | the Garden ana the manager of the lightweight champion apart while their interests Jay along common Yines. Charge it up to personal rea- sons and let it go at that. Gibse foregoing explanation must be ane cepted as satisfactory to those di- rectly concerned, and after all, who! else should be interested? It is a fine thing for boxing, no matter how it ay viewed. Although it is generally believed | that Gibson and Leonard have settled Pith Rickard on matches in which the champion is to appear at the Gai den, Gibson tells us that such is not | the case. “We have just reached an amicable understanding, that's all,"’ says Bill. “We are going to listen to Rickard. If everything is O. K. with, whatever he may submit, if times and condi- tions are agreeable, then we will get down to contract signing, but so far we haven't reached that point. I want to say, however, when we do get down to making matches nobody with any right to a chance at the title will be barred.” 6s TBSON then went on to say that there was never anything to the general belief that a desire for set-ups or Leonard's inability to make weight furnished the reasons for Benny's not appearing more often in Jocal ‘bouts. “1 don't mind saying, however, that I have always regarded the question of Leonard's weight as good business, from a managerial standpoint. It vided discussion throughout the my mind about 135 at 2 o'clock as ng provides, and in this connection 1 Want, to tell you something brand new “Out in Milwaukee on New Year's ay, several hours after we know thet Pinkey Mitchell couldn't go on with the fight. I told the Boxing Commission there that I had a sur- prise for them. ‘I am going to put Leonard on the scales and let you we'gh him, I said. ‘Ll want you to get all the newspaper men her what they will see will be hardly Heyable in view of what has gone forth about the champion's weight.’ “Benny got on the machi ind you, this was several hours after ‘le fight had been postponed. When the bar settled it registered 137 pounds, This was a catch weight fight too, for Pinkey Mitchell is a bigger fellow than his brother Richie. That will eye you an idea whether Benny can the championship nship weight, 1 guess. 7 ND one more thing I wish you would let the good Public know,” went on Gibson, “and that is that under no conditions would Benny take Mit- chell’s forfeit when he found out he had neuritis. It amounted to $3,000. ‘There we were out in Milwaukee, far away from home and at considerable vss of time and money. The disap- reintment cost a fight at Omaha and tnother at New Orleans and we were under an expense of something like $2,000 on the trip. “Remember what Lou Tendler did to Leonard's forfeit under conditions now ANNOUNCING BY MEGAPHONE LET THE curred FENCES BE DECORATED + Like THIS INSTEAD OF FILLED WITH ADS ~ THERE SY CAUSING THE MISITING BATTERS TO KEEP THEIR.

(Written for the United Press) LONDON, Jan. 11.—Georges Carpentier, heavyweight chi pion of Europe, will be an easy winner in his 20-round fight with George Cook, Australian cham- pion, at Albert Hall to-morrow night. ‘This will be Carpentler's first test since he was defeated by Jack Dempsey at Jersey City July 2, 1921, and the Frenchman is a big favorite over his compar- atively unknown opponent. I re- cently predicted Cook would win, believing Carpentier had been permanently hurt by Dempsey, but after watching the French- man in action at his training quarters, I believe him in better shape than before the Dempsey fight. Tho fight will end when Car- pentier decides to use his right. * Cook in his training has failed to develop the promise he held out of bringing back a_heavy- Weight championship to Britain, nearly 80 troublesome to him?
