MIAMI GETS TASTE OF SHOESTRING PROMOTING

Florida Business Men Fail to ‘Rescue’ Tunney-Stribling O Bout and Scrap Is Declared Off.

By Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent MIAMI, Fla., March 12,—Another plunger, like the cowboy-mayor of fiheiby, Mont., had a disillusioned mind and a lesson today, in which he learned that St takes more than a shoestring and a promise to get two young men together In the fight business. Jess Baugh, promoter, found himself In a hole nt midnight Thursday that he couldn’t climb out of. He needed about $85,000 to pay Gene Tunney and Billy Strlbling for a tenround fight scheduled for tonight. Baugh couldn’t find the money and the fight was called off by Billy Gibson, Tunney’s manager. Bout Stays Wrecked Scenes that were mindful of the hectic night at Great Falls, Mont., when the Dempsey-Gibboris fight was put on and called off a dozen times, were repeated here when prominent citizens were trying to find a way to clear up the financial wreck. The fighters were told Thursday that the money wasn’t available, but

Helen Sets Style on Riviera

k; Times Special NICE, March 12. —If Imitation can be considered the slncerest form of flattery, then Helen Wills can consider herself highly flattered. Every since the arrival of the modest Californian on the Riviera, she has been a curiosity upon which a million eyes have focused. Quite a shock was experienced when through the levelled lorgnettes it was discovered that Helen had never bobbed her hair. Dressmakers threw up their hands in despair when she appeared on the court, not in crepe de chine or georgette—but in homely white duck, stiffly starched, and devoid of much line. Now, girls of her age are letting their hair grow longer so they can weave It in knots to resumble bobbed hair, Just as Helen does. Such stars as Penelope “Dldi” Vlasto and her cousin, Helene Contostavlos, dainty Grecians by birth, have seen the folly of playing In silks and there has been a run on white duck. The whole change Is a tribute to the charming personality of the American girl. INDEPENDENT GAME Bp Times Special ATLANTA, Ind..

they were asked by a committee of business men to accept a business proposition that “would save the name of Miami,” “Pa” Siribling, manager of the Georgia, youngster, and Billy Gibson accepted the proposition and the fight was declared “on.” Gibson found out later there wasn’t a dime In the treasury and that a large sum was needed to complete payment for the arena, and he refused to let Tunney fight until his $50,000 was placed in the bank. Money Advanced Boxers “Pa” Strlbling had been guaranteed $35,000 and had been advanced $6,600, but he said he would accept any cut that was fair. Tunney had been advanced $6,000 for training expenses and said he was willing to return the money. Another effort to save the fight was made after midnight by Dudley Field Malone and Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr. They met with Gibson In the office of Carl G. Fisher and asked Gibson If there wasn't some way to make the fight good. “There Is only one way,” Gibson replied. "Get the money in the bank and we’re ready to enter the ring.” Malone asked him what was his final price and he said $50,000. Malone and Vanderbilt didn't offer to arrange for the advance of any money and Gibson called Tunney out of bed and told him he could have a good meal as he didn’t have to fight. It was said $21,000 worth of tickets had been sold.
