Old Man Dope Suffers Only Knockout of Shelby 9 s Big Title Fight
CRITICS ALL WRONG IN ESTIMATES OF HEAVIES Gibbons Stays Limit, but Loses, and Dempsey Proves He Can Go Distance and Retain Strength, By HENRY FARRELL United Press Sports Editor SHELBY, Mont., July s.—Jack Dempsey has his heavyweight title and about $250,000. Tommy Gibbons has no title and no more money than Wednesday, but he has the heartfelt admiration of a few thousand spectators who saw him stand up to and yet evade the tiger rushes of the champion for the full fifteen rounds.
Dempsey won the decision on points. The only knockout of the latest world’s heavyweight championship battle was to the Grand Old Dope. Some Glory for Tommy They said Gibbons couldn’t stay—but he did. With a puffed face, a split lip, sore ribs glared a -dry red, but covered a heart full of satisfaction, Tommy Gibbons of St. Paul came out of his fight with Jack Dempsey, erstwhile mauler of Manasa, with whatever glory was wen beneath the broiling sun that beat upon the pine bowl here Wednesday afternoon. Gibbons lost the decision without a kick, even after some rather strange work on the part of Jim Daugherty, third man in the ring. But he had vindicated himself beyond a doubt as a rightful challenger for Dempsey’s crown, and established himself as a game sportsman. "1 held on a lot in the last three rounds and don’t blame me for It,” Gibbons said. ”1 tried to fight absolutely clean and I believe 1 did. I felt fine until the ninth round, when I was hit In the groin and cculdn’t use my left leg good after that.” Went Home to Kiddies While strangers and the natives of Shelby and adjoining towns were engaging last night In the wildest dissipation the town could afford, Gibbons was shooting off skyrockets and fireworks at home with his wife and three kiddies. The fight itself was a good one, as fights go. Dempsey outweighing Gibbons by thirteen pounds, was always the aggressor. He fought In his customary style, shoulders hunched, arms poised to strike from any angle, pursuing the slighter challenger about the twenty-one-foot ring. Four or five times during the fight, it seemed to many spectators that Dempsey hit low. But Referee Daugherty saw it otherwise—or didn’t see it. Men marveled as Gibbons swapped punches with the champion in the early stages and came up round after round for more. At the end. he had maintained his record of nearly ninety fights without having been knocked down. It was a tired, puff erf. bleeding boxer that hung on some times during the last five or six rounds; but when he had to fight. Gibbons was always able

The 100-mile Hoosier Motor Speedway race, which was to have been held July 4, was postponed until Saturday at 3:30.

TILOEN IN SEMI-FINALS OF ILLINOIS NET MEET By Timet Special CHICAGO, July s.—ln the feature match of the Illinois State tennis tourney, July 4, Tilden went to the semi-finals by defeating Waiter Wesbrook of Detroit in straight sets, 6-3. 6-8, 6-3.

TENDLER BOUT FIZZLES \ ___________ Low Refuses to Enter Ring in Michigan City Bout. By United Xeu>t MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., July 5. What almost happened, to the Demp-sey-Glbbons battle at tlheJby, Mon actually did happen to the scheduled ten-round lightweight bout between Lewis Tendler and Sailor Freedman of Chicago here Wednesday. Tendler disapppointed nearly 10,000 fight fans by failing to show, claiming he had not been paid the final installments of his $15,000 by thj promoters, who headed by Floyd Fitzsim mons. j It is believed the fiasco will i>e a deatii blow to local boxing
EVERYBODY WRONG Critics said Gibbons would be knocked out early. He stayed the limit. Critics said if Gibbons stayed seven or eight rounds he would win on points. He stayed, but lost on points. Critics said if Dempsey did not win early he would lose. He went the full route, was strong at the finish, and won. It was a bad day for the experts and dope.
to take and give back hard blows to the final gong. Dempsey’s form was decidely disappointing, but he showed he could fight fifteen rounds and win. How Odds Varied Before the fight, odds varied from three to one to five to one that Dempsey would win; some bet heavily that Gibbons would not come up for the eighth; many predicted that the chanipion, peeved at financial failure and troubles, would finish Tommy off in a round or two. 'll was also said that if the fight lasted any length of time Dempsey would wilt and Gibbons would cut him to ribbons. Nothing happened as predicted. The men fought for the most part without too great a display of animosity. “The only time I was mad was when Dempsey punched me when I had slipped under the top of the ropes," Gibbons said. "I wanted to complain, but I thought then that I might have done the same thing under the circumstances, and I decided not to say a word. “Pon’t get me wrong. Dempsey is a great fighter and I do not want to take anything away from him—since I didn’t get his title. He can fight." The champion, one big bronzed grin after the fight, said: "I’m disappointed, of course, that I didn’t knock Gibbons out. I thought I could. He certainly gave me a great fight. He s one of the hardest men to hit cleanly I ever boxed." Dempsey’s next appearance may be against Harry Wills. New Orleans negro, on Labor day. Jack Kearns, the champion’s manager, said today.

By United Press SHELBY, Mont., July s.—Shelby’s folly! It’s a long story and the last chapter is still in doubt; but this is the gist of the plot; A little cow town of the Montana plains got ambitious. It stopped talking, cows, dance halls and girls and started yelling for a bout for the heavyweight championship of the world in figures with six ciphers. ” It Was Frenzied Finance Jack Dempsey was promised $300,000 and Tommy Gibbons a percentage of the gate. There wasn’t any percentage for Gibbons, but he collected 4bout $15,000 from training camp profits. Today Jack Dempsey has about $250,000' and Gibbons has a better reputation and a chance at some of the picture money, while every one In who was Interested In the affair Is counting his losses.
