Gibbons-Tunney match will be made this afternoon when the boys will gather for the < umera men and other publicity. The match really was made late yesterday afternoon. Eddie Kane, Gibbons' manager, was given his money and Hilly Gibson, Tummy's manager, wil! get his end when he arrives today from Chicago. Tunnev is the American light heavyweight champion but. his title will not be at stake. The two can come in as heavy as they desire.
