Mlnn.. parations for the execution of the greatest feat in railroad pa-enger inhaling in the history of the North. west have begun offlcals of the Great Northern Railway following the offical announcement that the Dempsey-Gibbons fight will be staged at Shelby. Mont.. on July 4. The Great Northern is the only line ' serving Shelby. which is one of the small but important points on the . Hill system and which only recently gun to grow as a result of the oil development in Northern Montana. The problem of transporting thous- ands of spectators and others attract- ed by the fight is one of the most difficult encountered in many years. Passeengcr department officals have begun to make an exhaustive study of the traffic problem presented. so that adequate facilities will be avail- able. An attendance of 40,000. such as is predicted. means that the trains must be used for one group of passengers only once in several days. Regular ppmenger travel must be cared for with the usual service. which annual- ly is taxed by the Fourth of July rush It is not expected that adequate housing facilities can be prepared at Shelby to accommodate the crowds. and the rnilrnnd will make prepara- tions with this situation in mind. officials said. Four Great Northern routes enter Shelby. one from the North Pacific Coast. another from Flt, Paul. I third from Sweet firms at the Canadian border and the other from Great Falls. Inquires already received indicate that travel to Glacier National Park will be greatly stimulated by the world's championship fight. The movement of 40.000 passengers would require 200 ten-car trains. which if linked end to end. would make one train extending from St. Paul to Chicago. \Vere these trains to run twenty minutes apart. approx- imately um and one-half days would be required to bring them into Shelby. GlBBONS .PROVES congenital Million or Nothing His Gamble on Outcome of Bout with Dempsey. 'l‘om Gibbons is a pluckey one in thee opinion of Ivgo, boxing expert of the New York. inasmuch as he is taking the biggest gamble any heavy. weight contender ever signed for by his aziroing to the terms set down by the, Sheibby promoters for his bout With Jack Dempsey. There is more than a chance that Gibbons will fight Dempsey for nothing. his only recompense being the $2,500 which has been allowed him fur training expenses. an amount tthat will be eaten up without ques- tion. Here are the terms which Gibbons has agreed to abide by: Dempsey is to get $300,000 in a flat nunrtnntcc with the privilege of accepting 45 per cent. of the gross. In addition Dempsey has been paid 310.000 for training expenses. Jack Kearns already has been paid the “0.000 for training expenses and an additional 3100.000. the first in- stalment of three. covering the $300.- 000 guarantee. The next instalment is due on June 16 and the last on July 2. In order to cover themselves against loss the promoters have forc- ed Gibbons into signing an agree- ment by which he is not to reecelvs a cent of money for himself until $800,000 has been taken in at the gate. As soon as that amount is in the coffers of the promoters. Gibbons will begin to earn a little money. He is to be paid 50 per cent. of all over $800,000 up to $600,000. If the gates receipts amount to that big figure Tom's percentage earnings are to be iopped in half. Gibbons geetting 25 per cent. of the take after it passes the $600,000 mark. At this stage he is to receive 25 per cent. of the mov- ing picture rights. Now the gate receipt! may never reach $000,000. It is hardly possible. from n geopraphicai standpoint alone. It may not even tdp 8800.000. If it doesn't hit this last figure. Gibbons is going in there to fight for the title and whntvwr glory goes with it. Of course it' Thomas WINS he need have no fear of the moneey market and his future earning power. It would mean a million to him. When Jerk Johnson and Jim Jeff- ries met at Reno it was for a guaran- teed purse of $161,000 plus houses and other emolument. which netted the victor a. total of 120.000. and the loser 8117.000. Although really the challenger the collared man received more than his opponent. the chans- pion. Jul Willard was given 010.000. along with the etitular chance. when . he was matched with Johnson at a avana. and Jack Dempsey received 7.500 for the fight with Willard at -0.

May 8 (By the As- sociated l’ress).—Sevcn Americans passed safely through the first round of the British Amateur golf champion- ship today.

Gardner. captain of the American team on whom high hopes hnd rested. Neither man played well in the wind that was blowing—a wind that killed many fond dreams.

Jr. of Los Angeiea; John F. Neville of San Francisco and Robert Hunter. Ouimets game did not rise to the heights where so often it has risen to thrill the gallery and wound the spirit of r opponent. but it was good enough to do what he set out to do— to defeat a gray haired. rather slim gentleman whom fate had named as the first obstacle to his path to poni- bie glory—A.

California crushed. 5 up and 4 to play. The vigorous young Jimmy Johns- ton never bothered his head about the terrible gusts off the Channel that seemed so much to irritate Sweetser.

Perhaps he would have at- tained Johnston's speed had he not lost the third hole where he had sev- en. or had be been lea badly bunk- cred on the fifth. where he took six to sink his bail. For the rest of the route Rotan ramped along like record smasher. picking up a half dosen threes on the way to sandwich between his fours.

Max Marston also had an easy time in defeating Lieutenant Commander Guy Miller. 7 up and 5 to play. “'right. however. had a bit of diflicul- ty in drubbing his veteran opponent.

At the sixteenth Wright final- ly pushed ahead and looked like a sure winner at the seventeenth. but Bannerrnan fink a long putt to even the hole. Going to the eighteenth Bannerman missed the green with his second. while Wright was on. The Commander’s pitch was not. very good. while Wright got his third shot to within a few inches of the cup. and the match conceded to him. 8 up. The sidetracking of Bweetser and Gardner constituted the sad story of the day.
