H e knows the fight racKd from w a ter bucket to box office. lie may have his Han sens as well as Ills Tunneys but he knows just about whcr th e y stand while he has them. Witness hla rapid thinking when he saw Knute Hansen d o ins a dying swan act the other night. As Hansen’s cad hit tb e canvas with a resounding whack that re sembled tho contact of a. 12-lnch BheU with the next door neighbor's garage, Gibson said—Just like that ‘‘He’s out.\ But t\> get back to Gibson.

Gibsop mijht orate at length on th e ' difference Vtween Common, brutal fighting, and boxincr. as lt is taught in the best gymnas iums. But he separates and classifies the two with this one succinct tatcm e n t. ‘‘In a common ordinary s tr e e t fight you lead with your right. In the ring you never do. That la. if you have ever been taught anything— which some managers \ a n 't teach you. ‘‘You watch two fellows who square off in tho ftreet c , or a cirl friend, or some other foolish reason They’ll both let go with th e right and the guy that lands first wins. “Hitting with the right, though. Is against all the machinery of boxing. You’re off balance, you’re sunk If you miss, and you're wide onen to the other fellow \ Of course Hansen was an oddity. In that he didn't lead w ith either hand. He assumed an a ttitude half way be tween ciasnlng his hands In prayer and proposing to his girl and waited for the end. It came.

You recall that Jeff retired and is sup posed to have handed his crown to Marvin Hart. Well Tommy Hums beat H art and Jack Johnson lickrd Burns but johnron w a- not accepted as champion until poor old Jeff wna dragged back into the rint to take a beating. ‘‘Coming down to today, the publlo has never got steamed up over tho lightweight division since Benny Leonard retired undefeated.

Rickard Really Sore,. It Seems, and Paulino May Get the Battle, With Stribling as Result of Jack’? Verbal Barrage (By Herbert W. Baker, Associated Press Sports Writer.) New York, Dec. 22.—(iP)—This duel to the death between Tex Rickard nnd- Jack Sharkey’s Board-of Strategy may be some more fistic “hooey,” but at least lt serves to enliven an otlier- VEise soporific heavyweight Industry. As tho situation stands now, it np- pears as if Young Stribling will bat tle Paulina Uzcudun, tlie basque woodchopper, and not Sharkey, .at Miami Bench, Fla., early next year. Time was when Sharkey wns referred to as the ‘'Loquacious Lithuanian” by facetious sports writers with a Hair for alliterative effects, bnt nt least the Boston sailor never talked him self out of a fight that would add $100,000 or so to the family bankroll. And that's Just what his manager or managers, as the case may be, seeius to have done. The controversy between Rickard and Sharkey’s handlers started when local newspapers received telegrams purporting to come from Sharkey and charging among other things that Rickard wns mannglng Stribling, Paulino and Jack Dempsey. Further, the telegrams said Slinrkey, fearing lie would not get a “break,” would refuse to fight Stribling in the Georg ian’s own sector* of the country. Thus the kettle began to seethe and before many days had passed it had come to a boil. Jimmy Johnson, one time 10 per cent, manager of Sharkey, Taberski Defeats Greenleaf For Pocket Billiard Title, Match Marked by Bitterness Chicago, Dec. 22.—UP)—Frank Tilb- erskl, the “gray fox of Schenectady,” Is the first recognized world's pocket billiard champion. The title and the bag of gold with It were won by him early today when he defeated liis arcli riv-U, Ralph Greenleaf -of New York, the national champion, In two bitterly fought mutches of 125 points each. The scores wero 125 to 07 anil 125 to 41. Both matches went 23 innings and were poorly played. Greenleaf /nnd Taberski started to play their match Wednesday night bnt after Greenleaf twice had left tlie playing arena and had stalled several times, Taberski unjointed his cue, re fused to play nnd protested the match Tho national billiard association, sponsor of tho tournament, upheld Taberski on one complaint and or dered the match replayed. Greenleaff led 05 to S'l at the protest. I Last night and early today the match was replayed and so bitter wera tho players that once, in the first match, Referee Joe' Orr of Chicago lind difficulty in restraining then* from halting play to quarrel. In addition to tho title, Taberski won $2,500 In cash, a salary of $0,* 000 for one year and 30 per cent, o? half of the gate. Pasqunle Natalie of Baltimore who placed third anil Erwin Rudolph ot Chicago, fourth place winner, won smaller prizes and no salaries. shut off the heat when he admitted | that he had sent the telegrams and I signed Sharkey’s name to them. Apparently the incident wns closed with everyone hnppy but the newif- puper men, who fell for the dodge. Then Johnny Buckley, Sharkey's manager, entered the nrena with a- new set of charges which he leveled ngninst Tex from Boston In telephone conversations to newspaper men here. Buckley charged Rickard had nt- tempted to buy Sharkey’s contract for $00,000 last summer; thnt ho saw lUcknrd give Walter Friedman the money to purchase an interest In Knute Ilanson, the melancholy Dane, and wound up by snying the promoter wns luring Sharkey into the South for the nintch' agabist Stribling so that the Boston sailor would bo “knocked off.” Buckley said he lind turned down Rlcknrd's offer of $75,000 for the fight and demanded $150,000. He will have no further conversations with the promoter unless newspaper men are present—at least, so he said. After denying all these accusations, Tex added that he was \through fool ing with Sharkey” nnd that Buckley’s fear of losing the decision to Strib ling wns tacit admission thnt Buck ley did not think the sailor could conquer tlie husky Georgian. He add ed that In view of all thut hail hap- ponetl he probably would match Paul ino against Stribling nnd let Sharkey out In tho cold. '' All of which ho may or may not do.
