I UNNFYDEFEATS GIBBONS BY K. 0. *I ■ — Veteran Tommy Plans To Retire From Ring Following His Defeat New York. June 6 —Knocked out for the first time since he started boxing 15 years ago, Toni Gibbons has given up his ambition for the •world's heavyweight championship and will retire from the ring Gibbons, who was floored twice hv Gene Tunney, the former A. E. F champion, in the 12th round last night and counted out while he was gamely trying to pull himself up the ropes, has not made the announcement officially but he has decided to give up boxing. Gibbons took his defeat philosophically. He was saddled by the weight j of ten years on his opponent and he was handicapped by terrific heat ' which only a youngster like the* splendidly conditioned Tunney could stand. The ring in the Polo grounds was) pitched under 37 huge Kleig lights for the movies and it was a seething furnace that was hardly bearable in the press box. Tommy, for the first time in nis career, had water thrown 1 on him from the first round and sat groping for breath in his corner, i Tunney, of course, felt the heat and was affected by it but he had more 1 in reserve than the 37 year old Gibbons. "This is a business where it comes always to those who wait long! enough,” Gibbons said today. "I just couldn't get started. 1 was tired ( and weary ail through the fight , ; Tunney is a greatly improved fighter ■ 1 I have no kick coming. I've had any ■, chances and I'm fixed so that I can I j retire. 1 can go into another busi-j ness.” Tunney looked like a greatly improved fighter but some critics ( thought it was not so much that he t was a better fighter as it was that ] Gibbons had gone back so far. Gib- ■ bons fought the worst fight of his career. He had only one round—the j eighth—when he rocked Tunney with ( two savage rights to the head but the exertion took more out of 'Gibbons 1 than the punches took out of Tunney.l 4 Tunney said he was going to de- 4 maud a fight with Jack Dempsey for the world's championship and he ex pressed his willingness to fight Harry Wills,. Tex Rickard is figuring on a Tunney Wills fight for late in the summer. 0 ♦ WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD 4; ♦ + + + + ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ + Yesterday's hero Ira Flagstead, Boston outfielder, singled as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning with the baser filled ami gave the Red Sox a 5 to 4 victory over the Indians.

G — ... Willie MacFarland Wins Title Os Gold Champion I — Worcester, Mass., June 6—Willie McFarlane, the quiet school-marmish pro of Oak Ridge club of Tuckahee, N V , who won his way into the job of being the op->n champion of America by defeating Bobby Jones of Atlanta in the play-off Friday, was back on the job today giving lessons at his home club just as though nothing had happened. There probably never was an open gulf champion upon whose brow laurels rested more easily. It is reckoned an open champion, if a professional can make $50,000 a season in exhibition matches, but this enticement seemingly has no lure for Willie. The first thing he said aftn- winning the championship was: ‘ Well, I'm off for New York. I’ve some lessons to give in the mornmg." That is the rort of pro Willie is, a serio is minded Scotsman who does his work from day to day and competes in open championships just because it'si evident he’s better than the rest of the contestants. As for Bobby Jones, who was beaten in the second play-off for this year’s open title, the Atlanta youags'er was not wasting any time in regrets. o Purdue Summer Session Will Open On June 11 June 6—With every inI dication of a record enrollment, Purdue's annual summer session will open here June 11. offering courses in practically every department of the university, and in addition, a library course for teachers; a course in physical education and an athletic I coaching course.
