Promoter Chimbole Ribbing
Up All-Star Program for
Stamford Fight Fans.
STAMFORD. May ii.—
Matchmaker Joe Chimbole of the
Stamford Sporting Club is now plan-
ning the final indoor boxing show of
the present season and is in touch
with managers of featherweights
who would make a suitable opponent
for the hard hitting Bridgeport slug-
ger. Young Luby. .
Luby has fought in this city num-
erous times this past season and has
yet failed to make a poor showing.
Frankie Coster or Wee Willie Spenc-
er of New York may be matched to
meet the popular Luby. Coster recent-
ly defeated Joe Clifford of New York
in the first round of their argument.
receiving the verdict by a knockout.
Spencer is a clever battler and would
be a big attraction with Luby.
Frankie Fitzpatrick of Mount Ver-
non. has also signed articles to spa
pear hero and will very likely appear
in the semi-final bout. l-‘itspatrlck
filled in in a. bout with Bobby Reim-
er of New Bcdford in the absence of
Johnny Rcd Allen of Bridgeport and
fought a tame bout due to his not
training for three weeks previous to
the fight. Properly trained. Frankie
always fights hard from the first to
the last clang of the bell. An op-
ponent for the Mt. Vernon flash has
not been signed.
Young Dorsey and Young Mulligan
may light out their differences in the
six rounder. liorscy is a pretty
fighter. hard hitter. and can take
punishment. as he prmcd in his
fight with \i’illio Angelo of this city
in their last bout in the lilks' audi-
torium. Mulllgun hails from New
llcdiord and has a wide reputation
as a fast rcrnppcr.
Johnny hit-Leon. locnl fiyweight.
will likcl yoprn the show with an-
other iocnl lmtiler. Nelson is tight-
ing his way upward in fistlc circles
and authorities on boxing predict big
things for him.

Word comes that Moiumby has
succeeded in getting the consent of
Jack the Giant Killer Dempsey-—
himself—to meet Tommy Gibbons——
himself—4n combat at one Shelby.
Kent. on July 4.
It has been two years since Jack
fought for his title. Two years to the
day since he climbed through the
ropes at Boyle's Thirty Acres. New
Jersey. to manhandle Georges Car-
pentier.
,Everyone knows about Jack. how-
ever. so here's some dope on Molum-

He is the state commander of the
American Legion of Montana. and
has been tireless in his efforts to land
the Dempsey match. His one ambi-
tion Just at this time is to see com-
pleted a veterans' hospital for dis-
abled former service men. The law
of the state requires that 50 per cent.
of all boxing show net proceeds shall
go to the state fund for a. veterans'
hospital. Hence Loy’s anxiety.
Molumby. with assistance of bus-
iness men in Shelby and Great Falls.
raised $110,000 to meet the guaran-
tees of 8100.000 required by Dempsey
and 810.000 by Gibbons.
When Molumby left Great Falls
recently for Chicago for the purpose
of signing up the fighters he had a
draft for 8110.000 in the plane in
which he flew with Earl Vance, avia-
tor.
0n the very day Molumby reached
Salt. Lake City the executive com-
mittee of the state legion sent out,
word from Helena opposing his, Mol-‘
umby's action.
Mclumby's Triumphs.
Thereupon the Tools county post
(Molumby‘s) polled all the posts of
Montana and 06 answered with a
majority of 4 to 1 favoring the fight.
Then things started to hum.
Vance. the aviator. donated his
services.
So did many others.

termined efforts.
Molumby is a native of Iowa. grad-
uate of the state university of Min-
nesota in law and a practicing attor-
ney at Great Falls.
He was an aviation officer durins
the war and is a member of the
Cascade County Boxing Commission.
which supervises bouts in Great
Falls.
Following the war he devoted
much of his time to aiding ex-ser-
vice men. He rented a house in
Great Falls and took care of a num-
ber of men who were disabled and
were waiting word for compensation
and kept them until they received
their money.
He has done much legal business
for former soldiers. sailors and ma-
rines. and never has charged a cent
for his work. He has. upon his own
expense. sued the United states gov-
ernment for war risk insurance on
grounds that certain men in the
state were permanently disabled and
now has three cases pending in the
federal court at Great Falls in be-
half of needy ex-soldiers.
This service accounts for his elec-
tion at the state legion convention
at Kalispeil last summer to state
commander. Molumby has dttended
all the legion national conventions
and is a country-wide figure in lo-
gion circles.

CHICAGO. May 5.—Failm-c to agree
on a few minor details after the ques-
tion of a referee has been practically
settled prevented the signing of ar-
ticles tonight closing a fifteen-round
heavyweight championship match bo-
twccn Jack Dempsey. the title holder.
and Tom Gibbons. the St. Paul chal—
lenger. at Shelby. Mont.. July 0.
Jack Kearns. manager of the cham-
pion. and Mike Collins. matchmaker
for the promoters. said the articles
would he signed today. The reason
for the delay in signing was because
Kcarns wanted the certified check for
"10.000 turned into cash at once.
Jimmy Daugherty. veteran referee
of Philadelphia. probably Will he re-
lcctcd tomorrow as third man in the
ring. Daugherty was lv‘enrncs‘ only
choice. Eddie Kane. manager of Gib-
bons. objected. claiming Daugherty
was too friendly to both Rooms and
Dempsey. but after several hours of
discussion Kane virtually agreed to the
I'hiladelphian.
Ironing out the minor details of the
match proved to be a problem because
Kearns and Kane. for reasons best
known to themselves. were not on
speaking terms. The conference was
conducted through the medium of Col-
ilns. Kane and Gibbons were quarter-
ed on the eighteenth floor of the hotel
in which the conference was held.
while Kearns occupied a room four
floors below.
Collins was kept on the run all
afternoon in his attempt to break up
the deadlock over the selection of a
referee.

Yet Reich was thrown out of Wil.

much for Jess.
Then Reich hooked up with Luis
Firpo. the Argentine heavy. and. al-
though Firpo tried his best to gain an
edge with his wild blows. Reich gave

Reich must have a streak of cour-
age somewhere in his makeup. or
else he knows that Willard and Fipo

ark heavy would have steered clear
of the Milk Fund headliners.

to Fight 10 Rounds
Fred Fulton was signed yesterday to
fight Jack Renault in the ten-round
semi-windup at the Milk Fund show
next Saturday afternoon at the Yankee
Baseball Park. These two will fight
on the same card with Jess Willard-
Floyd Johnson and Luis It‘irpo-Jack

the greatest heavyweights in the
game, barring Jack Dempsey. will
battle next Saturday afternoon.
This scrap is almost as important as
the two main events. Jack Renault is
the Canadian heavyweight who hasn't
lost a tight within the last year and
only recently knocked out George
Godfrey. who was considered the su-
perior of Harry “fills. in the division
of colored men. l-‘ulton made himself

and gave Willard's coming antagonist

KINGBVILLE. Ont. -— Identified by

fall when it swooped down and made
itself at home among the thousands
' of wild' ducks at the morons Jack
Miner's bird sanctuary here. an im.
mense specimen of the Canada wild
goose arrived back at the duck pond
yesterday afternoon. Its presence was
made known to Mr. Miner by a deaf.
ening chorus from the ducks.
He had little difficulty getting close
enough to the goose to establish its
identity. after which he placed the
visitor in a specially wired coop for
safe keeping.
The goose stands a trifle over three

tended will measure between four and

that he will present him to '1? Cobb
