Roper Signs to Fight Gibbons it Jack Refuses - However, “Tiny*’ Herman May Upset Robert's Plans Here Friday. OBERT ROPER, the liusky gentle man who breezed Into town yester day for the sole purpose of extin guishing “Tiny” Hermans lights in a 10-round bout at the Auditorium Friday night, hopes Jack Demp sey turns down thj? Shelby, Mont., offer to fight Tommy Gibbons. Like grapenuts, Roper has a rea* hoji. iiopt'i naiil last night that ir Mister Dempsey refuses to exchange ling greetings with Tommy Gibbons July 4 or thereabouts in Shelby, he’ll get a crack at Gibbons—something he has been after for several summers. Before leaving New York, the town of promoters, fighters and large base ball parks. Roper signed a contract whereby he will fight Tommy Gib bons In Shelby July 4, should the champion fistic mauler decide to side, step Gibbons. However, there is 200 or more pounds of human flesh that, says Roper won’t get a crack at Gibbons, even if Dempsey refuses to fight Tom. This 200 or more pounds of flesh ls( none other than “Tiny” Herman himself. Herman and Roper fight here Friday, you know that; every body seems to know It. and If "Tiny” can put the skids under Robert the Shelby show Is off as far as Roper is concerned. Herman will be able to step in and battle Gibbons. As we get It. Herman hasn't signed s contract to fight Gibbans should he (Herman! win over Roper, but it’s a cinch that the Shelby promoters wouldn't want Robert to fight Tommy if Herman tied the can on Roper in their bout here Friday evening. The first bout on Friday's program should be about as good a fight as any on the program. We have refer ence to the riill Longo-Erwin Bige lO rround affair. Bige is a comer, there is no question about that, but Just how far he can go before receiv ing a, setback is another angle. Now, Longo isn’t a world-beater or a second rater among the lightweights, but at the same time he’s a mighty fast lad on his “dogs" and has a good left. Iyongo left-Jahbed “Turk" Logan into defeat and beat Logan worse than Bige beat him. That Longo-Logan go was fought here a year ago. Pal’s First Foul in 200 Fights Chicago, April 24.—Fal Moore, the veteran Memphis, Tenn.,,, bantam weight, landed his first font punch In 11 year* of boxing and more than 200 ring battle* last night when he lost to Frankie Clenaro, the American fly weight champion, by striking him In the groin in the sixth round of their scheduled 10-round bout. Moore, always known as a dancer end jumper, was outjumped by Genaro. The blow landed with both Genaro'n feet six Inches off the floor, the little champion literally leaping into the punch, a left hook. Genaro was unable to walk front tht ring, and later was taken to a hotel in an automobile. It was announced Genaro has been matched to meet Joe Lynch, world's champion bantamweight, in a 10 round bout here May la. ddleweight Champion Johnny Wilson had been carded for a 10-round bout last night with Italian Joe Oans. but said he had twisted his ankle, and returned to New York.

CORBETT, Fortner Heavyweight Champion. Copyright. U23. Jersey City, N. J., April 24.—Floyd Johnson outpointing Fred Fulton last night, hut he was a mighty tired and slightly groggy warrior at the end. Johnson's furious rushes, his ag gressiveness and the fact that Fulton laid his extra 20 pounds all over the Iowa fighter began to tell in the tenth and eleven rounds. In the opener It looked like a chain lighting knockout victory for John son. He raced into Fulton with the opening bell, rushes Fred around the ring and finally succeeded In crash ing a righthander to his chin. Fred went down on ail fours Imt jumped up quickly and was mixing it mer rily at the bell. After that it was a fast, furious melee, with each man striving for a knockout. Kach round was a slug ging bee. during which both men let loose with all they had. Hut outside of bloodied noses, nothing serious happened until the twelfth. Johnson came out for the final look ing somewhat worn and tired. He made a desperate rush In the hope of finishing Fulton, but Fred slliqted over his famous left hook and stag gered Johnson. Then Fulton shot at Johnson's chin with his right, con nected, and wobbled Johnson a bit more. By a rare display of gameness and generalship, Johnson succeeded in pulling himself clear of Immediate danger. Fulton continued to try for a knockout but he. like Johnson, be came arm and leg-weary and his blows lacked steam at the end. The superior height and weight of Fulton was a distinct asset to him, and so was his experience. But Johnson had the edge in speed and aggressive ness. The bout with Fulton should serve as a great "tuner-up" for John son in his future battles. THE AMERICAN CHANCE AT DEAL. Among thoee waiting in the British hattle lino at Peal will he Holderness. the present champion, a great golfer In every way; Cyril Tolley, a long hit ter and a magnificent fighter; Wethered, Caven, Michel, Scot, Torrance, Gor don Simpson, Hoomans, Aylmer and other stars but little known, hut who, In sn 18 hole test, may he dangerous at any moment. The best United States chance rests with Sweetier, Evans, Ouimet and Gardiner, tha top four of the team, who will en.'. -avor to disperse the ancient Jinx. But they will find at Peal that, in addition to the high pltrh, the favorite attack of Evans and Sweetser, the long, low run up is often needed—and the long, low run-up ia not a stroke effectively emplojed by many of our ama teurs or pms. In addition there sre the keener winds and the harder, keener green* that *re non# to easy to hold through a dry spell, where putting Is not to be handled in the bold, carefree manner of our best putteis. It Is something of g shock to go boldly for the hole on a 10-footer, miss, and find you have a six or seven footer left. The team now on Its way to England has about an even chance In the Walker cup test at St. Andrews. The British will have a stronger team than the line-up which lost st the National lsst summer, and this team will he playing over home turf. To this must be added the absence of Bobby Jgnes and Jesse Sweetser from the American ramp, two notable deficits, who help ed to win four matches In the last meeting. The failure of our leading amateurs playing over British turf in past years has been hard to explain. Jerome Travers tost s matrh to ralmer, Irish champion, when Palmer was around In 88. Tt was 100 to 0 that Travers could heat any golfer needing 88. But Travers took a 91. Bobby Jones, in in his match against Hamlet at Hoylake. was around In 87. Hamlet had an 89 and took Jones to the last green. Oulmet lost to Tulfht and Hodgson, two unknowns. Neither at the time was playing exceptionally well and l>nfh were fairly slaughtered at their next atarls. After beating Ouimet In the first round, Hodgson was beaten 8 and 7 In his next start. Just why so many of our moat brilliant performers have suddenly slipped Into high figures is difficult to explain, for our leading pros have shown that It Isn't all climate or strange conditions hy either winning or finishing well up in si ronger fields. This is Jesse Sweetaer'a first trip over, and It will be more than ordinarily interesting to s»e what the young champion. 21. In March, ran do In hie first foreign sortie. He may prove to he the hig exception. But If he falls he will fail In fast company, Including such giant figures of golf as Travers, Evans, Oulmet and Bobby Jones. This may be the occasion for s hig Oulmet comeback, as the Roston star hastrbt won a national title now aim* 1914—and vet there ar^ few who can show's sounder, better game or finer courage in a pinch.

April 24.—Being dis tinctly the lesser of (wo evil*. Floyd Johnson, will go on against Jess Wil lard in the feature bout of th* milk fund hhow. as the result of gaining an unofficial decision over Funny Fred Fulton, that strictly neutral gentleman of pugilism, at th* Jersey city armory last night. A Jury of boxing critics, representing five New York morning newspapers, voted unanimously that Johnson won easily. He did. Rut what they neglected to mention was the fact that If Johnson had tha punch of a welterweight or Fulton anything but the heart of a gazelle, the fight never would have gone the limit of 12 bar room rounds. In our labored way, wa are at tempting to convey the thought that the principals were and are a couple of tramp*. Rut words fail us. They out tramp tha field. Johnson, fighting s rushing, rapid fire battle from the first, dropped Ful ton with a left hook to the head In the opening round and although lie hit Frederick on that fragile jaw of his with everything except his foot throughout the remainder of the fight, the plasterer never again for sook tha perpendicular. A clean, man sized wallop In the first, third, fourth and aeventh, tenth nr eleventh rounds would have finished Fulton, but Johnson Just did not ha\# It. So much for Johnson. As for Funny Fred, he was the usual methodical. ■ autlous. slow moving picture of other days. He let Johnson swarm all over him. refusing to lead, and taking punches on the jaw without an *t tempted rntn*hark. after the manner of n mongrel whose spirit 1* broken Bven in the 12th round, when a ellp on the jaw had Johnson on the verge of a knockout, Fulton didn't have the audacity to rush In and finish a man who reeled before him helplessly and drunkeniy. He did manage to hit Johnson with another left hook to the jaw, hut t)#t was merely en In cident. Having hurt Johnson almost beyond repair, Frederick wa* not the on« to lake undue chance*. At that, many left the linll firm In the belief tliHt Fulton had won. bating their opinion on something quite be. yond the writers fancy, lie scored heavily front time to time with a left hook to the body, but Johnson landed five punches to one. and curried seten rounds to Fulton's three, the others being even. That, however, Is no concern of ours. What, wo would Ilka to any la \ that If Willard can fight a lick he will bent Johnson within an Inch of Ills Ilf* when the pair meet on May 12.

Six fine 2 year old steers, averaging 1,200 pounds, part of a shipment of mixed cattle brought to the local mar ket by Kmil Schlichtlng of Oakland, were sold at the top price of $9.50 a hundred.' Mr. Schlichtlng said there were many cattle sill on feed around Oak land and a lot of corn left, but that it did not pay to feed cattle where the raiser had to buy feed and hay. A load of fine purebred Poland China hogs was brought from Coun cil Bluffs by H. K. 'Harks. There were 78 head in the load averaging 249 pounds and they were sold to a local packer for $7.80 a hundred, the top price of the day. Mr. 'Harks said field work in his section was at least two weeks be hind and that very little plowing had been done, but that with the present good weather farmers expected to get their corn in on time.

Mbther Earth is naudependahle’’ IT is curious that Mother Earth cannot produce, each year, tobacco of the same quality and flavor. Give her the same seeds, nurse her crops as carefully as you will, still the tobacco grown one year in any given field will frequently be different from that which grew there the year before. Because this is true I keep on hand, at all times, more than three and one-half million dollars’ worth of fine tobacco to guard against crop failure and to insure the quality of La Palina Many years ago I discovered that this was the only plan that would overcome Nature’s peculiarities in the production of tobacco. And by adhering to it strictly, by using only the finest tobacco and the’best manufacturing methods I have given La Palina a character that can be absolutely controlled. k rom the fact that there are over one hundred and fifty million La Palinas sold > early I feel that this character will satisfy every man who can appreciate afine cigar. .
