NEW YORK. liar. 13.—Although
Tom Gibbons expects to get a return
mntch with Jack Dempsey next surn-
rne,r Tom still is loaflng around in-
stead of fighting himself into condi-
tion. No doubt Gibbons deserves an-
other chance with Dempsey. but be-
fore he gets it there is one thing that
he should do. He should first wipe
out the defeat chalked up against
him by little Harry Greb.
There is plenty of time to stage
another Gibbons-Oren match before
the Dempsey bout. It should be a
mere workout for Torn it he is half
as good as he says he is.
On the face or things it is ridicu-
, ions for Gibbons to talk about fight-
ing Dempsey when it is apparent
that he is afraid of Greb. If Tom
possessed the right spirit he would
have demanded a return match with
Greb the day after thir bout and if
ecesary he would have kept right
on challenging until he got it.
As a matter of fact, Greb is willing
enough to fight. It is Gibbons who
is satisfied to let the matter drop.
Following his defeat at the hands of
the rough little Pittsburgher, Gib-
bons mumbled something about not
being in condition, but he carefully
refrained from asking for a return
battle.
It was lack of nerve that cost Gib- .
bons the decision in the Greb bout:
and it is the same lacl’: of fighting-f
spirit thatprevenfs him from goingl
after s. return bout in which there
would be more hard knocks than
hard dollars. although another Gib—
bons-Greb affair would draw. well
enough.
In that bout in the Garden Gib-.
boos really was the better fighter at '
all points except in the matter of
courage. Gibbons was a bigger.
ranger. far more clever and a much
better hitter. He lost. simply be-
cause Greb outgamed him. Now the
man who was outgamed by littla
Greb wants the world to believe that
he has a chance to beat such a. 'de-
