PAGE EIGHT GIBON'S MANAGER OFFERS $20,000 BET By. David J. Walsh I. N. S. Sports Editor SHELBY, Mont., June 19—Exchanging amenties for the first time in five years, Jack Kearns and Eddie Kane, arch-enemies and respective managers of Jack Dempsey and Tom Gibbons, today engaged in an impromptu duel of words which culminated in an offer by Kane to chance $20,000 on his man's chances. Kearns, however, wasn't listening. He never bets on fights, he said. Kane's faith in his man and the apparent sincerity of his offer was the sensation of Shelby today. "They seem to think Tom is a push-over for Dempsey," said Kane to the writer. "Where that idea originated I can't imagine. Gibbons is faster than Dempsey, is in much better condition and has had the advantage of working with better sparing partners. Dempsey can hit harder, I admit, but my man will surprise everyone with his hitting. This is the year for champions to be knocked off and the biggest of the lot is due for a fall on July 4." The clash came during a conference over motion pictures o'f the fight when Kearns made a chance remark that the champion probably would be a four to one favorite. Sentiment is crystallizing in favor of Gibbons, largely because Dempsey does not appear to be taking the fight seriously and has failed to reach anything resembling the form he displayed in slapping Willard and Carpentier to sleep. Offers to bet, however, are scarce as pink overcoats. Dan Tracey, the new promoter, is giving some indications of his business acumen by planning a series of bouts in the arena on July 3. A match between Jimmy Delaney and Jack Burke, light heavyweights, sparring partners of Gibbons-and Dempsey, respectively, is on of those in By Sargum Sprout The past two weeks have proven the two leaders of the two major league teams to have opposition in the pennant chase. The two New York teams appeared to have a run away in their respective leagues ten days ago, but both have been skidding since that time. Pittsburg is the runnerup in the Nationals with Cincinnati and St. Louis climbing rapidly. The Giants still have a gobble load but it is not so great that it can be easily cut down and overcome. Conny Mack's kids are hotfooting the Yanks. Conny's kids are no longer the laughing stock of the league but are real honest-to-goodness ball players who will fight the Yanks to the last ditch. They are kids and have no idea when they are defeated. All the cities in both big leagues are pulling against the leaders.

It would be a great thing for the game if one or both of the New York teams should loose out this year. One city can not hog all the glory year after year without hurting the game. If Conny Mack's kids could turn the trick in the American league, old Philadelphia would go crazy and attendance would pick up all over the loop. The fans are getting the idea that it is no use, that it is a foregone conclusion that N.Y. will win, so many are staying away from the game. The rear in our own Coast League is going merrily on.

WILDE DECISIVELY BEATEN BY VILLA NEW YORK, June 19—(INS)—"It was the first time any man of my own class ever knocked me out." Jimmy Wilde said today with a rueful smile. "Maybe that means I'm getting old. I don't know. Beat me fairly. I could not hurt him mand every time he hit me I felt it." Villa is a great little fighter and will make a worthy champion."

FAIRWAY CLUB HAS SPORTY COURSE With york already under way, the Fairway Golf Club has laid out a golf course and country club grounds on the land of the Bixby Land Co., near Villa Park which will compare with any of the smaller courses in Southern California. A residence on the place will be remodelled as a club-house and tennis courts, swimming pool, and a small golf course for the little folks will be put in. It is an extremely "sporty" course, and while only of nine holes to start will be enlarged as requirements demand it. The club has purchased 43 rores and is trying to boost its membership of 78 to-200. Under the residence a full basement will be built for locker rooms and the like. There is an abundance of water, and the lawn so far as laid out is already coming along well. The location is sitely, commanding wonderful panoramas on every hand. LAST NITE'S FITES AT NEW YORK—Pancho Villa knocked out Jimmy Wide, flyweight champion, in the seventh round of a 15 round bout. Harry Gordon, New York, outpointed Carl Tremaine, Cleveland, in ten rounds.

BEATEN BY VILLA NEW YORK, June 19—(INS)—"It was the first time any man of my own class ever knocked me out," Jimmy Wilde said today with a rueful smile. "Maybe that means I'm getting old. I don't know. He beat me fairly. I could not hurt him every time he hit me I felt it. Villa is a great little fighter and will make a worthy champion." Mrs. Wilde, who watched her husband's game battle for six rounds, but who left just before the knockout, was philosophical. "He had to lose some time," she said. Wilde was knocked out in the seventh round. As a contest, it was one-sided. At no time did Wilde have a chance. The vaunted cleverness, the mighty hitting ability upon which the reputation of Wilde had been based, was missing. All the veteran had was superlative gameness which made him carry on despite seven rounds of the most merciless trouncing ever given a champion. His downfall was tragic, altho heroic. Altho he had absolutely no chance of winning after the second round, his seconds refused to throw in the towel. The end came with a startling suddenness. Wilde had been beaten to a pulp when the seventh round started. A deep cut in his right cheek from a left hander by Villa screamed his face with blood. Both his eyes were closed and he was pawing away by instinct attempting to find his opponent when he suddenly pitched forward on his face unconscious. His seconds carried him to his corner where they worked desperately to revive him. Villa, carried away by his wonderful victory, rushed over to the Welshman's corner and kissed him. MANILA, June 19.—The celebration today of Pancho Villa's victory over Jimmy Wilde in New York overshadowed the observance of the birthday of Jose Rizal, Filipino national hero. "The dead hero is all but forgotten in favor of the new and living hero," the Manila Times observed. Thousands of Filipinos headed by native boxers in ring costume and tands were parading the principal thorofares, cheering Pancho with other thousands lining the streets and addin gto the plaudits.
