Hot Stuff
at Shelby
Aitftociatrri PrfM.
Shelby. Mont., July 2.—Humor, ru
mor and pathos are companions in
expectancy during the days before
the battle—the world's championship
heavyweight contest between Title
holder Jack pempsey ^nd Contender
Tommy Gibbons.
On the main street of Shelby, the
little Montana oil and cow town that
has sprung into international promi
nence overnight, the stranger may en
counter a laugh, a tear and a thrill
within a block. Dame Rumor hands
out thrills, unsubstantiated, unveri
fied, but not unsung. One can hear
anything any time. Believe it or let
it lie.
Two days before the great fistic
event, in a 15-mlnute stroll down the
principal thoroughfare, the following
baseless samples were freely contri
buted by the rumor mongers:
Hot Stuff.
1. Tommy Gibbons has over
trained, gone ''stale'' and is in such
a condition that a Boy Scout would
have little difficulty in knocking
him for the requisite count.
2. Jack Dempsey has arranged to
let the fight go at least seven
rounds in order that large profit
may accrue from the moving pic
tures.
3. Gibbons, who has been using
rather lightweight sparring part
ners for his pubyc workouts, has
been working out in private with
heavyweight sluggers who have
been putting him in shape to mas
sacre Dempsey on sight.
4. At least 15,000 tickets have
been sold and a profit to the pro
moters of perhaps $600,000 is as
sured.
5. If the $100,000 final payment
to Dempsey had not been raised,
the champion had agreed to fight
> anyway and take a mortgage on
phelhy oil wells.
w 6. The fight is a failure, the
feustomers are not coming and
Shelby is preparing to go into the
hands of a receiver on July 5.
7. Dempsey is slow, has lost his
punch and has been insistent on his
fee of $300,000 before entering the
ring because he knows it is his Inst
fight; he Is planning to retire to the
prune raising business in Califor
nia.
Inquiry at "fight headquarters”
ultimately develops the fact that all
of the stories nre factless.
Toll a v Is IimIIw’ open iIhv at the
La k om a Country dub. "Pete" L*owdcn.
Club professional, has arranged » neat
card of competitions for the fair sex
golfers.
Nick Wraalc. owner of the Paxton
Billiard Parlors of this dty. Is in Hhdbv
awaiting the time when Dempsey and
Gibbons crawl through the ropes to swan
punch's for the world’s title Nick writes
that Dempsey Is In wonderful condition
■ nd should win In short order.
The Itrandeis Colored Giant*. Omaha

'IK 19th annual Nebraska State Men's Golf associa
ion tournament, w hich starts over the Omaha Coun
try golf course next Monday morning, bids fair to be

ent holder of the state championship, will be among
the entries. Samuel has been shooting some mighty fine golf over his home
course nnd will make a strong stab to win tys second consecutive champion
ship, something he has failed to do In previous tourneys. Reynolds has
won the championship five times, but has yet to <op the crown two straight
times. Some golfers will tell you that Sam will ret«n his crown at the
coming tournament, i ^
John W. Redick of the Omaha
Country club, the local golfer who
made such a fine showing In the re
cent Transmississlppi at Minneapolis,
has entered. Redick is "on" his game
this season and the fact that he will
be playing over his own course
stanjps him as one of the foremost
contenders for Reynolds' title. Redick
held the state championship in 1915.
Blaine Young, Field club, another
former champion, will be ready to tee
off No. 1 next Monday along with
Francis Gaines, Jack Hughes, Ray
Shields, Guy Beckett, Ralph Peters.

son Is $3.50, while $'> will enter a
four-man team and $2 a two-man
