a

 

world's heavyweight champion would
be acclaimed whei. the sun rises on
the mornin of July 5. Gibbons is the
personinca on of confidence. He has
no apprehensions. no fears on the out-
come of the battle in which he will
face Dempsey. one of the greatest
champions of all time. in Ehelby on
the afternooa of July 4.

The most pressing concern .of the
challenger right now is to have an end
of the tour which has kept him busy
jumping from one town to another
recently. He is relieved in the knowly
edge that the succession of one night
jumps is at its end. Gibbons wants to
get back to st. Paul to his wife and
three young boys. He wants also. to
begin the siege of training which
means so much to him.

Gibbons arrived here late at night.
He appears in excellent condition.
though obviously worn and a trifle
weary from the demands of his tour.
He said he weighed 183 pounds the
last time he stepped on the scales. In-
terviewed befoi-e the luncheon. .Gib-
bons made the statement which closed
his address at the fete. with this addiv
tion:

“I feel in great shape. I will be
ready for Dempsey. I have a chance
now which I have been seeking tire-
li‘ssly for two years. i am confident of
my own ability—feel sure that with
my speed and boxing skill I can over-
come the strength of Dempsey and the
weight advantage he will enjoy.

Gibbons and Kane and the challeng-
er's traveling trniim- will go to Shelby
to look over the site selected for Gib-
bon’s training camp. Then the chal-
lenger plans to leav or his home in
St. Paul for a visit 11 his wife and
children. By Thursday or Friday. ac-
cording to Kane's plans. Gibbons will
return to Shelby to commence train-
ing. Besides German. Harry Foley.
Hot Springs light heavyweightand
Bud Taylor, 'l‘erre Haute bantam-
weight. have been signed as sparring
partners for the challenger. Kane said
several other boxers likely would be
obtained to assist Gibbons.

Norwalk High School
Loses to Greenwich

Hard luck again came between the
local Hy team and victory when it
went down to defeat before the
Greenwich High school nine in yes-
terdays game. It was a fight from
start to finish ending in a»win in the
tenth for the locals' opponents.

One run in the first round put the
out-of-town lads in the lead, which
advantage they held till the second,
and then oft'and on the laurels were
theirs until the grand and glorious
overtime period.

Dave Greenwood started on the
mound for the \Vest avenue uggrga-
tion but was succeeded in the seventh
by "Strtch" Flewwellin. who in turn
gave way to Irwin "Ears" Holmes in
the tenth.

A prettier eighth inning rally was
never seen. at which time the Nor-
walk boys showed spirit—that which
comes through determination and
grit. but their attempts were all in
vain—~11" the vociferious shouts of
local rooters were turned to sighs.

Tom Ireland. in the first inning.
made a catch worthy of mention for
which he did some accurate judging
far behind home plate. Irwin Holmes
hit probably what was the farthest
wallop of the game in the second, but
was nipped at plate in trying to
stretch it into a home run. Burns
and Gisborne of Greenwich. also
clouted the pill into far portions of
the outfield meadows.

Losing this game brings the Hy's
average down considerably. being the
second‘out of six games. but still
much can be redeemed in the strug-
gles which are to come with Shelton.
the N. H. S. alumni. Danbury and
Stamford. the two last ones still on
the probability list.

‘OF THE AMERICAN LEAGUE '

 

Just how long it will be before the

Athletics will begin to recede toward
the second division (familiar ground)
is not even asked these days. And the
reason is that Connie Mack has devel-
oped a. real first division team this
year, a. team of hustling youngsters
who unanimously are considered to
possess abilities to land them among
the first three clubs at the termina-
tion of the race. It does seem strange
to speak of the Athletics as dangerous
contenders for the flag.

Poor old Connie Mack and his Ath-

letics have been the butt of many a
Joke during the past six or
years. Connie's crews became the
“cellar champs" of baseball, and they
were looked upon as just a necessary
eighth club of the American League.
Numerous uncompllmentary
were tagged to Mack's teams. ’ but
during that period the famous old
leader said nothing.

With the advent of the current sea-

son it was discovered that Connie did
not indulge in idle talk when he pre-
dicted that he would cause a stir in
the Johnson circuit.

are looked upon as one of the clubs

Surely Connie Mack is de-

Hale is said to be a hard and

timely hitter. but not a fielder of un-
usual skill at the far corner bag. He

 

is aggressive and brainy however, and
may yet develop into a. formidable
guardian of third base. With the
Portland club of the Pacific Coast
league last season. Hale hit for a.
.358 average in 152 gamea. and fielded
.949 at third base.

far corner bag.

The infield of the Athletics in one
of the strongest in the major leagues.
In addition to Hale and Riconds. there
are Chick Galloway at shortstop. Jim-
my Dykes absecond base. and Joe
Hauser at first. At present Gall
is looked upon as one of the but
ahortstops in the American League.
Last season Chick pounded American '
League pitching for a .824 average
and was second only to Everett Scott
in the percentage of shortstops in
the Johnson circuit. Dykes batted
.275. but he is as clever a second base-
man as there is. In eleven games last.

pie for a .322 average and the indica-
tions are that he will better that mark
during the current campaign.

Connie Mack slammed out 21 homers
in 1922. and batted for a .336 average.
and “'alker landed 37 circuit clouts
although he did not quite reach the
.300 mark in batting.

Certainly if Connie Mack's pitch-
ing staff stands the gaff, there will
be nothing to prevent the Athletics
from realizing their hopes for this
season. Eddie Rommell is Connie's
ace. with Bob Hasty, Rolly Naylor.
