True, the game is conducted purely on a commercial basis; but once in a long while there ap pears a fighter who dons the gloves solely fo<r the physical benefits to be de rived therefrom. We are about to expose as such a man who ranks high—exceedingly high—in the resin game. He is acknowledged the peer of pugilists in two divisions. In fact, he is rated the cleverest boxer In the game today. We refer to none other than Michael Gibbons, affectionately termed the St. Paul "Wizard,” "Ghost, ’ "Phantom,” and other things of the mystic reals. It undoubtedly comes as a surprise to be informed that Mike Gibbons is not in the game for the money he can extract from the gulllible public by exhibiting a pair of pad-encased gloves in the ring. Nevertheless Gibbons has shown that he is not a “money fighter." That prob ably accounts for bis many months of passiveness during the year. Classy Performer. Gibbonsls such a classy performer that he can get engagements as often as once a week, year in and year out. He can command sums of from SI,OOO to SIO,OOO a fight, according to the prowess of his opponent. Yet he does not engage in more than has a dozen fights during the season. It was not unti the other day that Gibbons revealed his true sentiments re garding his ring work. He received an GOSSIP OF THE SPORTING WORLD The pugs evidently fail to realize the fact that summer Is In our midst —and has been for six weeks or so. In stead of taking a rest, of getting from within the focus of the sporting spot light so that others may have a chance the pugs have been more prom inently mentioned in the last six weeks than any other athletes. Since June 26 the Johnson-Moran the Ritehie-Welsh and Gunboat Smlth- Carpentier fights have been staged— undeniably the most Important fights in more than a year. That they were all held in Europe didn't lessen the in terest here, nor did it lessen the news paper space that usually is given to such an event. When space is limited and a good portion goes to one sub ject—fighting—it means that the real summer sports must suffer in con sequence. The baseball public Is being treated again to a rather thrilling spectacle— of seeing the veteran slabmen in the American and National Leagues prac tically heading their respective or ganizations. Mathewson of the Giants has been up around the top of the old league since the season began and looks right now as if he will have the greatest year in his 14 year history as a big leaguer. And Plank also in hls fourteenth yeer has been pitching a better ar ticle of ball than at any time since he took up quarters under the big tent It ha-s been his work that has kept the Athletics In the front and may win the pennant for them. When others on the Athletic pitching roster have fail ed. Plank has delivered—Plank the who was counted down and out a half a dozen years ago by the "wise men” of baseball. , This seems to be agreat year for re cruit infielders. Among those who have "arrived” accompanied by many plaudits, are Stock of the Giants, Kavanaugh of the Tigers, CMara of the Dodgers. Leary and Wares of the Browns, Nlehoff of the Reds and Burns of the Tigers. The strangest part of it is that not one of these seven were heralded as of big league calibre. They ere known to have certain ability but the ability looked to be on the bush league order —that. Is until they were given a chance. And then they came through with a rush. Stock has plugged up the big hole at third left by tli* desertion of Tilly Shafer The Giants never have miss ed Shafer since the season opened. O'Mara looks like one of the best shortstops In the National League. Early in the season Ebbets thought so little of him that he was thinking of letting him loose without giving him a chance to perform. But Dick Egan “cracked” and Ebbets gave O'Mara a chance. Now you couldn't buy O'Mara front C. Hercules for $20.00. Leary and Wares have been two of the biggest factors In the uplift of the Browns. They have plstyed in ensadional style, are pepery and In the game every minute. Burns and Kavanaugb have given offer of $25,000 from Austraia to engage in three fights in the Antipodes. Yet he turned down the proproposition with the aconic cabegram: "Can t accept; engagements at home prevent." Dissecting this cabegram, one is lead to believe that Gibbons has so many fights scheduled in this country that he cannot afford to make a trip to the other side of the world, and clean up a tidy sum. Far from it, Gibbons really meant "home." "Kiddles.** The underlying cause of Gibons* refusal is that he is a iiome-loving man. H*e cares more for his wife, and their two "kiddies” than he does for the ring. • To journey all the way to Australia would be to Inconvenience the happy little family; and rather than break up house, Gibbons has flatly spumed a neat lit tle fortune. So if any of the boxing promoters of these United States do not receive fav orable answers when offering Gibbons huge sums to appear in the ring, they will know the reason for this. They will know that he prefers to sit at the fire side and apar off with the tykes than he does to endanger a happy father’s face to the unrelenting blows of a merciless opponent. The queer part of it all is that Gib bons so far outclasses any one in the welterweight and middleweight divisions that he could go through a score of contests without receiving even a scratch. Yet he shims it all to enjoy domestic life. the needed strength to the Tigers’ in field. They are as fast as lightning on the field and both are timely hit ters. Nierhoff has been a great help to the Reds. Packey McFarland’s bride Is due for a disappointment If she thinks Packey will make good his promise to give her the lightweight championship as a gift. Packey could keep his promise if he got a chance at Welsh, but In view of the fact that he gave English Freddie two beatings a few years back It’s a cinch that Frederick won’t take a chance at losing his title by taking on the Chicago fighter, again. Quite a number of persons who scoffed at Bill C'arrigan's remarks two months ago have ceased the scoffing business. Bill, while In Chicago, said: “The Red Sox still have a fine chance to cop the pennant.” At that time Bill’s team was in the rut. Instead es being aimed In the direction of the top It waa headed the other way. And then came the turn. Joe Wood did a comeback. Trls Speaker began clubbing ’em out, the team got together and since thrti has been playing the brand of balf that may yet land them at the top.
