GIBBONS MEETS TUNNEY TONIGHT Heavyweights Meet In An Important Bout At New York New York, June 5. — (United Press.) — Promoters backing the fight at the Polo grounds tonight between Tom Gibbons and Gene Tunney refused applications made to install apparatus to broadcast the program and there will be nothing on the air tonight from the park. By Henry L. Farrell. (U. P. Staff Correspondent) New York, June 5. —Two ambit'ous candidates for the world’s heavyweight championship that is considered dormant since Jack Dempsey took up matrimony and the movies, , will battle here tonight for the position as the logical successor to Dempsey. Tom Gibbons, the veteran of St. Paul, and James T. Tunney .better known as Gene the marine, will meet in a 15-round bout to a decision at | the Polo grounds-weather permitting. ( The skies were heavy and gray this morning and the weatherman gave no promise of rain or relief. Considering that there is no title at stake, the contest has aroused pore interest and greater discussion than any bout since the memorable Jack Dempsey-Louis Firpo fight. The bett ng shows a general opinion that it is a 50-50 proposition with one choice as good as the other. j Gibbons and Tunney are both train- , ed well. Gibbons looks better than I he has any time in the past four years and Tunney is bigger and stronger than he has been since he became a private citizen again with his discharge from the United States marines. Advance sales indicate that a crowd of 55,000 will be in the Giants' ballpark tonight and the receipts will be more than $300,000. Gibbons has been guaranteed SIOO,OOO and Tunney is to get SBO,OOO. The first preliminary is to start at 8:30 p. m. eastern daylight time and the main bout cannot go on later than 10 o’clock in accordance with the New York boxing rules.

T - . The People’s Voice j I • Favors City Swimming Pool Human nature Is an indestructible ’ element. Man sees his goal, comt bines his talents together with his [ power and has a fair chance of accomplishing his end. Woman, too, is ' equipped with the same resources as i man and can also make her plans materialize. But what about the 1 poor helpless child who dreams and wonders In its innocent way. As the days become warmer, nature calls the young to the "old swimmin’ hole” for a refreshing plunge to combat the terrific heat of the hot summer day. Saiely these growing men and women should not be deprived of this pleasure and sport when but a very few dollars stands between their happiness and present conditions. Eveiji year us the warm weather approaches some agitation is in the air concerning a decent, respectable place to swim, but it soon passes into I oblivion for some unknown reason. Surely. Decatur. Indiana, should live tine to its good name and should be able to compete with such cities as Berne and Bluffton, who have ample faculties for the recreation of their 'rising generation. Let us take for instance the site called the “greenwaters” or powerhouse quarry, a cool, clean and healthful pond fed by springs whose water is pure as any resort in the world, where fragments ,of mankind nfay be seen from day- ' light to dark. With several carloads l ot gravel to insure safety for the feet and purify the water, and a number of bath houses along the beach, one of the finest swimming pools in Indiana would "be at the disposal of the people of Decatur and community. In behalf of the grownups as well as the children of Decatur and community we hope that this is given the cons’deration and is worthy jof receiving and assuring the whole hearted support of the General ElecI trie company, as well as all other factories and business firms of Decatur, we make this plea for the betterment of the community. —An interested citizen. o , SCORCHING SUN SENDS MERCURY STEADILY HIGHER (Continued from Page One) degrees early this afternoon here.
