Talking It Over ; WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—Mr. Will Gibson is against touches. Especially millionaire touches. This may demand explanations. There are touches and touches. Will Gib-

son is a prize fight manager It is hard to put a touch on a prize fig ht manager. Generally the touch is on the other foot or fellow. Especially when there is a millionaire around. Will Gibson in recent times has got himself involved with millionaires. There was Mr. James Joseph Tunney for example.

Joe Williams

Will Gibson managed him after a fashion. Tunney ran largely to millionaires. In the end he ran right out of the fight game into the laps, as you might say, of the nation’s millionaires. Gibson turned to a fellow named Knute Hansen. Gibson made this turn advisedly. At the dinner at which Tunney made his formal retirement Will Gibson sat next to Tex Rickard. Rickard had read in the papers that Will Gibson was retiring also. tt tt “You don’t want to retire,” purred Rickard. “There are a lot of mil - lionaires behind Hansen. I’ll fix it so you can be his manager. You can’t go wrong if you string with the millionaires.” tt tt tt SO Gibson did not retire. There was much litigation and numerous conferences involving the managerial rights to Hansen. The young man took on the importance of a first rate prize ring character. He drew space and healines. One day he would be Will Gibson’s fighter, the next day he would belong to Messrs. Doe and Roe, named later in connection with the Rothstein case. Ultimately Will Gibson was awarded the child without benefit of clergy, court, justice or what have you. tt tt u ALL THE WHILE THOSE WHO WERE CLOSE TO THE SITUATION KNEW THAT WILL GIBSON WAS FRONTING FOR A NUMBER OF WELL KNOWN MILLIONAIRES. INCLUDING WALTER CHRYSLER OF THE AUTOMOBILE CHRYSLERS. tt tt tt Hansen’s first start* was to be against K. O. Christner of Akron, O. Nobody had ever heard of K. O. Christner, including Will Gibson. tt tt tt WHAT happened when Hansen met Christner is well known. The pride and pet of the millionaires took one on the chin and faded right out of the picture. From a potential heavyweight challenger he was reduced to the unkempt status of a park bench bum within the brief space of ten seconds. i a tt tt WILL GIBSON DOESN'T CARE A GREAT DEAL WHETHER HE SEES HANSEN AGAIN OR NOT. HE THINKS THE MILLIONAIRE TOUCH SPOILED HIM. THAT AND THE RIGHT HAND TO THE JAW WHICH THE CHRISTNER FELLOW LANDED. NOR DOES WILL GIBSON WANT TO SEE CLEVELAND ANY MORE. CLEVELAND IS WHERE HANSEN WAS FLATTENED. GIBSON HAS NEVER HAD MUCH LUCK IN THAT TOWN. tt tt tt Some seveial years back he took Benny Leonard there to fight Pal Moran of New Orleans, a soaped'ip lightweight. This was to be a tune-up fight, for the champion, Who intended to go back east and light Mickey Walker for the weJfcerweight championship. tt a XT is unnecessary to go into the details. Leonard showed nothing in the fight and being a shrewa young man and a devoted son he announced his retirement from the ring eimmediately thereacter. a tt tt LATER ON WILL GIBSON, SEEKING TO REPLACE LEONARD, TOOK OVER THE CONTRACT OF ONE LOUIS KID KAPLAN, A SAWED OFF, BUSY FISTED RUSSIAN WHO HAD ONCE HELD THE FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP AND HAD OUTGROWN IT. THE KID'S FIRST FIGHT AS A LIGHTWEIGHT CAME CLOSE TO BEING THE KID'S LAST FIGHT. tt tt tt Gibson took him out to Cleveland to toy around with Willie Wallace, who was, on paper, no .more formidable than any other Willie Wallace you might think of. tt tt tt The fight didn't last any longer than Will Gibson predicted it would. It lasted four or five rounds. But the finish was a little different than Will Gibson had predicted. The kid was stiffened. He hasn’t been worth a last year’s almanac since.

More Deals on Tap as National League Opens Two-Day Session

Five Transactions Likely to Develop as Magnates Get Together. ROBBIE MAY RETIRE Dodgers Expected to Have i New Field Pilot. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—Baseball magnates and managers gathered here today for the annual meeting of the National League at the Wal-dorf-Astoria Hotel—the magnates to talk business and the managers to talk trade. The session will end Tuesday and then on Thursday the National and American League will hold a joint meeting at Chicago. Only routine matters were scheduled to come up at the executive session. The re-election of John Heydler as president of the League was the outstanding event of the program. Without any opposition Heydler probably will be re-elected for a term of five years. Fight Over Robinson Prior to the National League meeting, the board of directors of the Brooklyn Robins gathered across the river for what was expected to develop into one of the stormiest sessions in years in the fight to oust Wilbert Robinson as manager of the club. Steve McKeever, half owner of the Club, has attempted to overthrow Robinson for some time, Robinson, who is also president of the Robins, may retire as manager on his own initiative, if the board of directors will approve his resignation. He, however, plans to remain as president. Dave Bancroft, former manager of the Braves, who played shortstop for the Robins last season, and Max Carey, veteran outfielder, have been mentioned as probable successor to Robinson. At least five big deals are pending between National League clubs and several of them may materialize during the two-day session. The Pittsburg Pirates have Glenn Wright, shortstop, and George Grantham, first baseman, on the market. The Chicago Cubs are on the lookout for a third baseman. The New York Giants have a deal on with the Cincinnati Reds for either Adolfo Luque or Pete Donohue. The Boston Braves want George Kelly, Cincinnati Reds’ first baseman. Frisch Stays with Cards One promising deal was halted when Sam Breadon, president of the St. Louis Cardinals, announced that Frankie Frisch, brilliant in fielder, was not for sale or trade. It had been rumored Frisch was at odds with the management over his failure to get the manager’s job and the plan to shift him to third base. “Frisch has not rebelled,” Breadon said, “and he is anxious to play third.” The deal which sent George Harper and Rabbit Maranville from the Cardinals to the Braves may mean that Lance Richbourg, outfielder, will be traded to the Reds for Kelly.

Local Bowling Gossip

Herman Sielken, a member of the Avalon Country Club League, provided the big thrill in the city bowling meet at the Capitol alleys Sunday afternoon when he turned in a new singles record of 717 on games of 232, 207 and 278. The former record was held by Lorenz Wiesman with a total of 714. secured in 1926. In his last game Sielken put j the first ball in the pocket, but the four pin stood and he missed the spare. His next ten hits were strikes, and a nine-pin count on his last ball made the 278 possible. Sielken is a veteran at the pin game, but many of the younger bowlers did not know of him, as he has been in retirement for a number of years.
