ponent far Jess Willard on
Labor Day,
C0UL0N IS REALESTATING
Make Way for the X.atest Alibi, It la
the Decayed Tooth and Pitcher
Was the Victim.
By Frank G. Menke.
New York, July 31. Realizing that
the public likes to be amused at times,
the boxing promoters are talking about
a Jess Willard-Battling Levinsky
match for Labor day. .
A match between Willard and Le
vinsky just now promises to be the
last word in pugilistic bnrlesaue. Le
vinsky is somewhat shy of Being six
feet tall and he weighs only around
170. Willard is 6 feet 6 inches tall
and weighs well over 250. In other
words Levinsky, a third rate pug,
would be "spotting" the champion
about seven inches iri beight, 80 pounds
in weight and about. 10 inches in
reach.
Why don't the promoters frame up
a Leach Cross-Jess Willard match?
That would be even funnier than the
proposed Levinsky-Willard go.
Johnny Coulon, who used to wear
the bantam crown upon his dome, still
yearns for another chance against fCid
Williams, but in the meantime John
Is busy gathering in the shekels
through real estate operations in Chi
cago. Johnny says he has about $90,000
left of - his ring earnings and by Ju
dicious investments has accumulated
about $20,000 more.
The- whole, town of Hastings, Ont.,
and 320 above the town's population
turned out to see a lacrosse game
played there recently. Hastings' has a.
population of 700 and the attendance
at the match was 1020.
The old story about Charles Co
miskey and Umpire Joe Cantillon has
been revived. It goes thusly:
Cantallon gave a few raw decisions
at the White Sox park one day and the
whole town "panned" him. The next
day Joe appeared at the gate with two
companions. He wanted the gateman
to pass them but th custodian re
fused. Just at that point. Comiakey passed
by inside the gate. ' Cantillon hailed
him.
"Hey, Coraray," he yelled. "I got
two friends here with me and I'd like
to have them passed through."
Commy looked at Joe, then at his
two friends and said:
"Sure, bring "em ln. Any fellows
who are brave enough to be friends of
an umpire deserve to get in free."
A decayed tooth is the alibi and the
satisfactory alibi that L. M. Gierhart,
a pitcher in the W.estern association,
offers for his poor showing in other
years.
Gierhart began operations in :the
Texas league. His work was erratic.
Some days he would pitch like a Wal
ter Johnson; on other days he would
be wilder than a cannibal chief tiaru
On his "off" days he usually would
"glow" around the fourth or fffth in
nings. Gierhart was released, by a half
dozen teams. Despite this, he still
felt confident in himself,
j "I've got a good arm, but something
uncanny is wrong with it," he used to
tell his team mates.
"It works all right , for four or five
innings and then, withont any apparent
reason, it goes bad. I lose control of
all the nerves in my arm and can't get
the ball over."
Gierhart went to a half dozen spe
cialists but none could help him. Fi
nally, a dentist friend suggested that
a bad tooth might be -causing all the
trouble. Gierhart scoffed at the sug
gestion, but finally submitted to an
examination. -
The dentist found every tooth in
Gierhart'a head was perfectwith ona
exception. That tooth was crowned
with gold. Over Gierhart a objections.

the dentist removed the crown. 'It
was discovered that the root had de
cayed under the crown. Pus had formed
and this acted upon some of the nerves
that extended to the arm.
The dentist remedied the trouble.
That was last winter. Gierhart got a
job with the Oklahoma City team in
the Western league this spring and
he ranks today as one of the steadiest
and best twirlers ln the league.

was 3-6. 3-6. 6-1. 6-2, 6-3.
Bundy played, in excellent form in
the first two sets and. had the young
ster guessing in spite of his wonder
ful driving and fast service. In the
third set Roberts got away to an
early' lead and Bundy appeared to let
down' in order to save himself for the
next set. Bundy broke the strings of
two racquets during the fourth set and
was compelled to borrow from some of
the other players. As Bundy uses a
racquet with about an inch of the
handle cut off in order to get the best
out of his reverse twist-service, the
new racquets appeared to bother him.
not only serving but in his other
strokes as well. Roberts gained in
confidence and his acing drives become

Pete Schneider, ex-Northwesterner;

using the "emery ball" the other day
in Philly;." and the two balls were
taken out of the game and kept as evi
dence. Many.;fan8 are 'under the im
pression that a game can be pretested
because of the "emery ball," but that
is a mistake. . The pitcher is subject
to a fine of $50 for each offense, but
there is no. ground for a protest. The
rule which, bare this delivery i really
a farce, aa there is riot an umpire in
the . game who canreally prove that
a ball was roughed by mery paper.
COAST PLAYERS 4
A ball that strikes the stands or
bounds on the dirt in foul ground
is roughed in practically the same
identical manner that a pitcher roughs
it with emery paper, and while the
umpire may be certain in his mind
that a twirler ,is violating this rule,
he will have a hard time proving it.
The Northwestern league, by the
way, has more good players this sea
son than any league in the country,
according to all reports, says a Phila
delphia exchange. The Reds Just pur-,
chased Williams, who played left field
yesterday, from Spokane, while Mc
Kenry, the big youngster who" relieved
Lear in the second game,, hails from
the Victoria club. Schneider and Wag
ner, the utility infielder, who batted
for Herzog in the first game, are also
products of the Northwestern league.
There are several other stars, better
than any of those who have been pur
chased to date, in the same league,
but the clubs owning these men will
riot sell them until the pennant race
is decided.

WOULDN'T IT BE ONE
FUNNY TURN IF MIKE
AND TOM GIBBONS GO
Both Are Middlewelghts and
Each Boosts Other to the
)ery Skies,
BOXING BOOM IS FAILURE
Hew Torkera "Expected Great Revival
of King Sport, bull Champions mad
Hear Champions Spoil Sport. '
By Ringside.
' New York, July 31. The anticipated
boxing boom in thls state has failed to
materialize during the summer months.
A few unforeseen circumstances have
contrived to keep the sport in an al
most moribund state. And no man
can control circumstances. .
In the first place, Mike Gibbons ufas
to have become a member of the lofcal
ring colony for a few months, and was
to have helped clear the middleweight
muddle. Instead, he became embroiled
with a tough customer, a Mr.. Leo
Houck, and suffers a couple of broken
ribs, which have put the wily Mike
out of commission for nearly 10 weeks.
Then againj Charley White did not
vindicate the$ hopes of nTs admirers,
as, he failed to knock out Lightweight
Champion Freddy Welsh. He may do
so later, but the faCt remains he didn't
do It when he had the glittering'
chance several weeks ago.
With White as the new lightweight
champion, there would have been re
newed interest in the boxing situation;
an interest which would have placed
the sport on a higher plane. Welsh's
Incumbency of the lightweight throne
has tended to diminish interest in the
game.
Gibbona Is on Mend.
However, reverting to Michael Gib
bons, the St. Paul Shroud may be
seen in action here again shortly. His
cracked ribs have responded to treat
ment readily, and Mike is on the
mend. Meantime, he is pushing hla
Brother Tom forward as a contender
for the middleweight crown that ha !
been placed upon his brow by' acclama
tion. Michael Is devoting his vacation
period to securing majtches for Brother
Tom. and Thomas has been eminently
successful ln the few bouts "Brother
Mike has arranged for him.;
Family ties bind this pair as closely
as any bond of relationship can. Mike
1s the best booster Tom has, while
Tom declares there is no greater fight
er than Mike Olbbons.
Wouldn't It be strange It is al
most beyond even an elastlcflmaglna
tlon If those two were to be matched
to fight against each other with the
title at stake? If things should come
to such a pass it would not be tin
first time that brothers have engaged
ln a genuine ring battle.
Two weeks ago two brothers were
opposed in the final match. for the
amateur championship ;", of - Chicago.
And thy fought as beet they knew
how. Each went into the rln with
the Intention of 'knoclcinir 4he block
off the ether. And so it might bo
with Mike Gibbons and Tom Gibbons.
Two Champions Inactive. -,
Another thing two more things,: in
fact to militate against Increased in-J
terest in the mitt game has been thej
Inactivity of two other undisputed j
champions for many months. Jonnny
"Kid" Williams, bantam boss, and
Johnny Kilbnne. featherweight king,
havo not fought for such a long time
that people are beginning to believe
that such' persons never existed.
We will not pick on Jess Willard.
for no one expected him to don the
gloves again until L.abor day, at least.
From present indications Big Jose will
not defend his title until about Thanks
giving day, if then.
Tn snlte of our distaste for Freddie
Welsh's ring tactics, we must say this
much for him he has been a nusy
champion. That is, he has appeared
ln the ring more often than any of
the other title holders. But 'here we
drag vout th hammer why shouldn't
he? It is such easy -money.
Frederick realties that he hen no
more than TT year of boxing left in j
him, and he is gathering in tp Ko
peks an fast as Manager Harry Follok
can arramere bouts for him.
Welsh has had 23 fights since he
relieved Willie Ritchie of the title less!
than 1J. months ago. Quite a notable
vcar'g work even for a Freddie .
. . . . ....i(nM tvA
Welsn. Yet wun earn nuttcruii
hi popularity has waned, simply be
cause fight fans do not approve of hie
antics in the ring!
They Irritate Spectator.
Tf mnv annear strange, but It Is our I
belief that Johnny Kllbane would also
be ft less ponular champion if he (
fought more, Sounds paradoxical, buti
It is nevertheless a fact. . Kllbane, like ,
Welsh, wastes his time in me rung
with sllry -maneuvers and clinchtng.
hls main idea being to go through the
bout with the least exertion posflhle.
Consequently he spends moet-of M
time ln posing and feinting and thi
irritates the spectators.
The long layoff the many- cham
ninn r now enjoying are not likely
to improve their effectiveness. That (
Is certain. So when they are ready to
fight again, it behooves them to pick
out mediocre opposition; and again
the poor, misguided fight fans suffer.
Governor Whitman of the Kmplre
Etate Is taking his time ln naming. hi
new athletic .commission, which super
vise boxing in New Tork.
Friends of! Charley Harvey, the In-
CUmneni gecrewry, n.e
petition, wnicn win am kih w -chief
executive, to retain Harvey in
the position he has so ably filled.
