GEORGES AND GIBBONS IN SHAPE AND READY
Fistic Stars Take Light Exercise Last Day Before Michigan City Clash —Knockout is Not Expected, By JAJNIES T. KOLBERT, United Press Staff Correspondent. MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., May 30.—Golf and a gallon or so of ice cream; a long walk and a few games of cards—these were the. day-before-the-battle programs of Tommy Gibbons ind Georges Carpentier. Tommy is an ardent golf bound tmd las made it a part of his conditioning program. Likewise he oves his ice cream.
Carpentier has made walking part of his training program and spends much of his time cavorting on the hard-packed beach of Lake Michigan. He has been indulging in a lot of playing during the past few days. In Best of Shape Carpentier and Gibbons are trained down to the last hair for their tenround bout here Saturday, and both are supremely confident of victory. The majority opinion is that the bout ■will go the limit. Carpentier will step into the ring weighing between 175 and 178 pounds. Gibbons is expected to weigh in at 178. Gibbons weighed in Thursday, but refused to make the poundage known. Carpentier is just as secretive. Examined in Morning Saturday morning at 9 o’clock the scrappers will be given a physical examination. They probably will be weighed In at the same time. Straight Marquis of Queensbury rules will be observed. The fighters will break at the command of the referee, E.. W. Dickerson, and protect themselves at all other times. In case of a foul blow the referee will count over the fallen man and then call a physician into the ring for an examination. The bandages which the boxers will use have been turned over to Dickerson, and will be put on in the ring. The bandages are of filmy gauze. No tape will be allowed.

Bushmen Go to 500-Mile Race, Then Hustle Back to City for Double-Header—Visitors Ara Confident. Two games at the bail yard this afternoon and the Tribe’s natural rivals, the Louisville Colonels, provided the opposition. With the promise of clear weather the local club officials expected to entertain a large crowd, at it was to be a battle for second place in the A. A. race.
The Colonels came to the city holding the runner-up position and the Bushmen hoped to do some damage in the twin bill and thereby climb over the McCarthy crew. Wet grounds forced the postponment of the game scheduled Thursday and members of both teams enjoyed a rest while watching the motor race fans mill around the main stems and hotels. A number of the Indians watched the start of the 500-mile race this morning and remained at the track until 11:30. The haU tossers were the guests of the Speedway management. The Colonels are here for four games only as a result of the postponement of Thursday. The program now calls for two battles today, one Saturday and one Sunday. Joe McCarthy, Louisvlle manager, says he is satisfied with his line-up with the exception of the pitching staff. That’s what all pilots are crymg so twirling. McCarthy says Tex Covington, former Indian, is whaling the ball to all corners. Pug Allen is still leading the Tribe swattters with an average of .393. Manager Bush said this morning ho. would use v Spud Campbell In the line-up this afternoon if the third sacker felt strong enough. Campbell's weak left knee has been keeping him on the bench. — Dundee.
