cleanly to right field and scored
Dowie with the run which won the
game, 2 to 1.

thirteen. But when Walker did not
pitch his way out of the pinches,
his team mates brought him out
with sensational support.
It was New Orleans’ 11th con
secutive victory and gave them a
clean sweep over Nashville for the
four-game series.

When playing a match on a

It is always customary to follow
the local rules when playing on a
strange course. The rules are us
ually printed on the score card.
There are usually excellent; rea
sons for the making of local rules
and not to follow them does not
make your score a true one of
your round of the course.

3 > holes were to .be played, while

Gibbons’ Fight With Levinsky
For Light Heavyweight
Title
By 808 DORMAN
Chapter V
SHELBY, ‘ Mont., June 17.
When the match was made with
Battling Levinsky it was to be for
the light heavyweight title.
But Minneasoto’s law didn’t per
mit a decision. The only way Gib
bons could win was to knock “Bat”
out.
Tommy wasn’t as good at punch
ing then as he is now, or he
wouldn’t have been worried,
Kane went to Dan Morgan, Le
vinsky’s manager. Morgan agreed
that the newspaper decision would
stand offiically with him and that
the title would be the stake.
It was an easy fight for Tommy
—easier than he had figured.
Wins Newspaper Decision
Levinsky didn’t open up. Gib
bons had to take the fight to him.
The newspapers gave Tommy the
decision.
Gibbons weighed 161 1-2. Le
vinsky scaled 176 1-2.
That’s how Gibbons claimed the
. light heavyweight title. St, Paul
fans gave him a wrist watch with
this inscription on the back: Tom
. my Gibbons, light heavyweight
champion.” Tommy still wears the
watch. It’s a good ticker, he says.
I So. Tommy does not see how
Georges aCrpentier won the light
heavyweight, title when hq knocked
out Levinsky.
“I stripped ‘Bat’ of it back in
i 1917,” he tells us.
In 1918 Tommy was trying to
copy' Mike’s style. Mike got results.
Tommy’ couldn’t understand why
he couldn’t get them too.
Do e s Bit for Uncle. .
I Cleverness and speed was what
Tommy strove for. He tried to use
I his right like Mike did. But he
• couldn t get any steam behind the
punch. His arms aren’t formed like
Mike’s. His bones and muscles lay
I diferently.
After the Levinsky scrap Mike
an dTommy toured the coast.
: Then Mike and Tommy went
into the military service . They
were commissioned boxing instruc
tors.
Tommy went to Camp Mead,e,
ybl. He taught boxing, bayonet
fighting and hand-to-hand en-
counters. Then he was shipped to
the officers’ training camp at
Samp Gordon, Ga.
he was recommended for a
-first lieutenancy. But the armistice
came along, so he resigned,, for he
wanted to get back to fighting.
then he spent a short time at
Innceton in charge of a class of
| college coaches and trainers.
He boxed Mick King at Canr
gary ..larch 27, 1919. Mick was a
'"mer. Put Tommy closed

Then he fought Boy McCormick
at Milwaukee, Ore.
Gibbons was sick. Kane didn’t
want him to go ahead with the
match. But Tommy hated to dis
appoint the fans and the promoter.
So he went through with it.
“I always will remember what
one darkie fan did for me,” he de
clares. “All during the fight—and
it was tough going because I hadn’t
eaten anything all day this
darkie kept hollering: “Dat’s it
boy, go on in and get killed.’
“His chatter kept me laughing
and I almost forgot being sick.
‘I won. The old darkie helped
me do it.
“Sometimes fans don’t realize
the condition of a fighter. They
think we never get sick. But we’re
human.”
