July 31.-The anticipated foxing boom In this state hn failrd to mntertalire during Wie summer month, j A few t-nfot-'-avcn ci c : .WKn a h w r n trlved to keep the sport In an almost Moribund state. And no man can con trol clrcumatnncca. In th first place Mike Gibbons waa I to have become a mmber of the local . ring colony for a few months, and waa to have helped clear ite middleweight muddle. Inrtead he Munw emlro.led i with a tough customer, a Mr. Ijco ; JTouck, and auffcra a couple of broken Una, which have put the wily Mia out j f eorriiii n l-r r.tn;'iy ten weeks. , Then acAin. Charley White did not ! vindicate the hopea of hi admlrera, n I ha tailed to kno k out Lightweight Chain- j Xm Freddy Weigh. He may do o later, hut the fact re- malBi he didn't do It when he had the glittering chance aeveral wecka axo. With White as the new llKhtweiR.it eharoplon there would hnve been renewed Interest In the boxing- situation, an In tereat which would have placed the spott tn a higher lane. i'Ih.i ;rriinl)oncy f the lla-htweltcht throne hna tended to diminish Interest In the gume. filhhnn In (inlhnm. However, revertlna- to Michael Gibbons, . the St. Paul BhrouJ may le eeen In action here again shortly. Ills tracked ribs have responded to treatment read ily nd Mlka la on the mend. Meantime la pushing his brother Tom forward as a contender for the middleweight crown that has been placed upon his fcrow by acclamation. Michael la devoting- hi vacation period to securing- matches for Brother Tom, nd Thomas has been eminently success ful In tha few bouts Prother Mike has arranged for him. Kamlly tlea bind this pair as closely any bond of relationship can. Mike Is lha best booster Tom has, while Tom declares thera la no greater fighter than Mlka Oibbona, Wouldn't It ba strange It is almost fceyond even an elastic Imagination-If these two were to be matched to fight gainst each other with tha tltla at aitaksT If things should coma to Such a pas It would not ba tha first time that brothers have engaged In a genuine ting batUa. Two weeks ago two brothers were p oad In tha final match for tha amateur Championship of Chicago. And they fought as best they knew how. Each went into tha ring with the Intention of knocking the block off tha other. And o It might ba with Mlka Gibbons and 3"om Glbbona. Other Xlagi atet. Another thing1 two more things, In rant -ta militate against Increased Interest In tha mitt game has been tha Inactivity Of two other undisputed champion for many months. Johnny "Kid" Williams, tantam boss, and Johnny Ktlbane, feath erweight king, hara not fought for such fc long ttma that people are beginning to believe that auch persona ' never ex ists. Wa will not pick on Jeaa Wlllard, for Do one expected him to don the gloves Main until Lbor day, at least. From present Indications, Big Jess will not de fend hi tltla until about Thanksgiving day, If than. 4 In spite of our distaste for Freddy Welsh's ring tactloa, we must say this much for him he has been a busy cham pion. That Is, ha has appeared In the ring mora often than any of the other tltla holders. But (hero wa drag out tha hammer), why shouldn't heT It la such asy money. Frederick realties that h has no mora than a year of boxing left In him, and ha Is gathering In tha kopecks as fast aa !anaa;er Harry Pollok can arrange bouts for him. Walsh has had twenty-three fights sine he relieved Willie Ritchie of tha title less than thirteen months ago. Quite a. notable year's work even for a Freddy Welsh. Tet with each succeeding bout fcla popularity has waned, simply because fight fans do not approve of his antics In tha tine Wastes Rtasjr Tlaae. ' It may appear strange, but It Is our belief that Johnny Kllbene would also fee a lass popaiar champion If he fought more. Bounds paradoxical, but It Is nevertheless a fact, Kllbane, like Welsh, wastes hi time In tha ling with silly maneuvers and clinching, his main Idea being to go through tha bout with the aat exertion possible. Consequently, be apende most of his time In posing and feinting and this irritates tha specta tors. . Tha loaf lay off tha many champions are now enjoying are not likely to Im prove their effectiveness. That Is cer tain. Bo, when they are ready to fight again, it behoove them to pick out me diocre oppostlon; and again tha poor, misguided fight fans suffer.

Jim Coffey All for Peace Since Match WithOldJimFlynn NEW YORK. July ll.-Llttle has been heard of Jim Coffey and hi proposed match with Jess Wlllard of, late. Since Coffey received the flight of his life In that affair with old Jim Flynn the popu lar Irishman ba been all for peace, It seems. The only match he has In sight at preseut Is with that bioken down hulk. Bandy Ferguson, at Boston, some time In AukusL Coffey will only cheapen himself by matches of that character. He haa now advanced beyond tb stage where he can gala anything In tho way of experience from men of Ferguson's stamp. Coffey may still need nursing along before ba Is ready for Wlllard. but It Is a mistake to pamper him. He haa learned the rudi ments of th game and has fully devel oped physically. What be needs now la ' hard fighting and plenty of It. Coffey's chances of defeating Wlllard are not regarded very highly In sporting circles now that the gigantic Hansen has , won tb title.. It is the same old story. Every champion Is th greatest ever and Wlllard now is held to be Invincible by those who thought that Johnson could oot be beaten and that Jeffertee) was ftuperhunuuh The Greatest Milera in Country Will f r . - 1 .

BUT HONUS IS STILL KINO By FRANK C. MKNKK. NEW TOIIK. July 31. The "big gun" of the battleship Pirate Is Al Mamaux. Tha hurler whose volleys have caused havoc In the ranks of the Pittsburgh foes didn't cost Barnegat a jitney. Mamaux'e papa, is quite wealthy and Albert played ball on the sand lots or soot lots of Pittsburgh just because he liked the game. He got to be quite a tar among the amateurs and used to get his nam and picture tn the paper quit often. One day Rarnegat. who reads the pa pers, read about Albert and his labors. "Seek him out and hook him to a con tract," ordered Barnegat of one of his scouts. Albert was duly hooked. Money was no object to him. What Induced him to sign iwaa the assurance of the scout thai If Albert accomplished much In the big leagues he would get his name and pic ture In many papers. I. Ikes to flee Ills r let are. One thing that Albert loves to look at is his own likeness in tho news organs. And h lovea tn hear those nntni Deal forth his name. So Albert signed. .... At the present writing tne newspapers are calling the 20-year-old Al Mamaux the "second Christy Mutheweon," while th. baae ballcra who know Al uulte la- tlmately refer to him as "the most con- celled man In base ball." Mamaux ranks near the top among th National league pitchers, despite the fact that the team averages of th Pirate la only around th .600 mark. Grows Better, with Ac.

In fact not a few coaches condemn the practice utterly, having found from experience that too much summer work tend to nothing but lack ot spirit and logglness In the fall.
