GIBBONS' FRIENDS BELIEVE
DEMPSEY WILL BE OUTBOXED
ST. PAUL, June 23.—Wlien k
Dempsey answers the bell In the
prize, ring at Shelby, Mont., July 4,
to defend his heavyweight title, li
will meet a style of opposition some
what different from that he has faced
since he took the crown from J ss
Willard.
In Tommy Gibbons of St. Paul,
the champion will find a boxer of
consummate skill, a man with a
"mean punch,” not afraid to mix in
a toe-to-toe exchange, and a ring vet
eran who has never been knocked
off his feet.
Gibbons fans recognize the power
of the champion, the danger In his
terrific rushes. But they look to
Gibbons' boxing ability to go a long
way toward offsetting Dempsey's
rushing tactics.
These same boxing fans, who have
been fighting the Dempsey-Gibbons
battle In clubs and other places of
congregation ever since the word
came that the fight was “on," are
not, as a whole, boasting of what
Gibbons will do.
Unknown “Chance”
If would be an exaggeration to say
that In any considerable quarter of
the challenger’s home town is there
confidence that he will defeat Demp
sey. His own brother, Mike Gib
bons, once famed as “The Phantom"
in middleweight circles, does not feel
that confidence.
But there is always "the chance,"
and in Gibbons’ hands that prospect
brightens for many. And if there Is
not confidence, there is hope, and
that alone will attract hundreds from j
here to the fight. Victory for Gib-;
bons, however, would be a surprise]
In his home town.
All of which does not detract from'
the ability of the challenger, for the]
homefolks hold the view that 410 one!
is better qualified to test the merit;
of the champion, not even excepting !
Luis Firpo, the South American, who]
recently has loomed large on the I
fighting skyline.
Gibbons is 29, one year older than
Dempsey, 'official" records to the
contrary notwithstanding. His height
Is 6 feet, 3-4 Inch, within a fraction
of an inch of Dempsey, and in weight
he will enter the ring around ITS
pounds, while Dempsey probably will
weigh in at 190 pounds.
Measurements
Dempsey has an advantage of 2 1-2
Inches in reach, as Gibbons measure
ment in this respect is 71 1-2 Inches,
This Is a recognized advantage, but!
Gibbons friends hope this is one of
the things superior boxing ability
may overcome.
The romplete measurements of the
two men, based on the latest author
itative figures and recognized as the
best fighting condition of the two,
ate as follows:
Dempsey Gibbons
28 yrs. old .Age 29 yrs. old
6 ft. 1 in.. Height 6 ft. 2-4 in.

you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment,
tile channels often get sore and

To help neutralize these irritat

Salts from any pharmacy here. Take
a tablespoon fill in a glass of water1
before breakfast for a few days,!
