CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING First Knockdown
Was His Last
When TOMMy Gibbons anti
Gene Tenney squared off the
night Of Rule 6, 1925, in New
''ark's sweltering Polo Grounds,
the two gladiators faced a crisis
in their colorful boxing careers.
Gibbons, who had been fight-
ing Since 1911, crawled through
the ropes for his 167th profes-
sional bout at $7, a married
man with a large family and a
reputation of never having lost
by a knockout, Ttinney, ten
yeara younger and aching for a
crack at Jack Dempsey's crown,
needed a clear-cut victory over
Gibbons to earn that title shot.
He also had to prove he could
floor Gibbons. Two years be-
fore Tommy had stayed with
Dempsey 15 grueling rounds at
Shelby, Mont„ • and had taken
some of Jack's best shots. Gib-
bons lost by a decision, but he
showed he could take a punch.
It was now up to Tunney to
earn a reputation as a real con-
tender,
The Police Gazette Ringsider
at the Polo Ground that •night
wrote of the battle:
"Tom fought a strictly defen-
sive fight and a poorly-conduct-
ed defensive one at that. Only
once - in the eighth round
did he make any serious at-
tempts to carry an offensive
against the enemy.
"In that round he lashed out
in a belated desperate rally.
When he did let fir for Tun-
ney's jaw, he connected solidly
with both right and left swings
and hooks. The punches really
upset Gene's composure for the
moment, but they were not de-
cisive blows, and furthermore,
Gibbons made no attempts to
follow up his momentary ad-
vantage.
"With these few exceptions,
Gibbons was invariably short
with his leads. It was seldom,
in fact, that Gibbons essayed to
come out of his shell and make
a fight of it. Mostly he was on
the defensive, perpetually danc-
ing out of harm's way, and
keeping a blockade of gloves
and elbows forever in front of
his face and chin."
Then came the twelfth round
and the Ringsider wrote:
"Whether it was carelessness,
or whether Tom was so arm-
weary he couldn't raise his
dukes, or whether he just 'took
one' to get the agony over with,
we cannot say.
"But we do know that he
offered a wide open target, for
Tunney simply walked in close
and swished a short right, half-
arm hook to the map, and Gib-
bons slumped slowly to the
floor of the 1. ring,
"He didn't pitch forward as
some of the boys do when an
adversary nails them square on
the button for a clean and total
knockout. Nor did he,fflop back-
wards, kicking. His arms simply
fell to his side and he keeled
over sidewise, easily, almost de
liberately.
"There was tspandembnium
around the sweltering arena
when the crowd sensed what
had happened. Gibbons down!
First time ever knocked off his
feet! Thousands of voices ech-
oed and re-echoed in the mur-
ky reaches of the giant bowl-
bedlam crashed downwards from
the upper tiers of the steel oval.
"Gibbons slumped down on
hands and knees. He lay prop-
ped up on one elbow in the
pos of the 'Dying Gladiator.'
Tunney backed away into his
own corner whilst the count
proceeded to seven, whereupon
Torn scrambled to his feet and
with trembling legs spread

wide apart, tottered backwards
towards his one angle of the
ring, only to have Tunney, new
am' gnu victory by the ittmek-
Out route, pounce upon him
mercilessly,
"Toro was badly muddled,
There was no semblance Pow of
the vaunted Gibbons defense,
Tom was wide Open, wobbling,
pitiP.il in his helplessness as
with head bent forward, knees,
and torso shaking like a poplar
in a hurricane, he awaited the
final blow,
"With tha impact of the sec-
ond short and jarring sock to
the point of the chin, Gibbons
slid again to the floor, Be
wasn't put to sleep, He wasn't
'cuckoo' as the boys say. He
was just a badly beaten, sadly
muddled, Middle-aged shell of
a fighter who had carried the
pitcher once too often to the
well, and in addition, gone out
of his class.
"Gibbons tried to get up,
tottered to his feet just at the
count of ten, But Dick Nugen
of Buffalo, the referee, saw that
Tom had enough, He waved a
hand and the tight was officially
over,
"Thus," commented the Ring-
sider, 'the high hopes of the
ring-worn veteran went glim-
mering down the trail of futil-
ity, and a new idol was raised
to the heights, ,
"A New York born and bred
laddie buck, Gene Tunney -
handsome as a Greek god, was
a finely put. together, clean-liv-
ing, studidus, gentelmanly pro-
fessional pugilist. Youth stood
astride, again, of the prostrate
form of middle-age.
"Tunney, who fought under
the American colors with the
U.S. Marines in the World War;
Tunney the affable and well-
liked, stood on the rim of the
high hill that looks both ways
- back to failure and forward
to ,success.
"'Now bring on Dempsey,'"
he said."
He got his wish. A year later
Tunney defeated Dempsey in
ten historic rounds in Philadel-
phia, decisioned Jack again
Sept. 22, 1927, in. Chicago and
was undisputed master of the
heavyweight division. Gene re-
tired after he had knocked out
Tom Heeney July 26, 1928., He
went on to a brilliant career as
a business executive, Navy
Commander in Weird War II
and an active figure in New
York society.
For Tom Gibbons, that hot
night at the Polo Grounds
marked the end of the trail. He
quit the ring, returned to his
native St. Paul and his family.
A prominent and well-liked
figure in Minnesota boxing
circles, Gibbons is now a county
Sheriff in St. Paul. Although
it's been a quarter-century
since Tunney floored him, law-
breakers don't fool with. Tom-
my even now. After all; Gene
was the only man who ever
knoaked Gibbons off his feet.
He was the first and last one to
do it. - By George Roberts in
"The Police Gazette."

MEDICAL is a disturbing thing to find, in
a Maine October, that some-
body's bird dog thinks you are a
partridge.
I looked beyond, the bird dog's
motionless shoulder, and saw her
master stealthily coming my way,
fowling piece at the ready. He
',vas clearly shortsighted, and
was peering eagerly. I could see
he didn't want to blast away
until he might see something
move and he could locate the av-
erage direction.
I called a cheery greeting to
him, and momentarily he show-
ed that he was surprised to hear
a partridge speaking English.
But he quickly recovered and
said it was a lovely day, an ob-
servation with which I concurr-
ed, and said he was out to do a
little hunting.
The dog remained at a sharp
point, ignoring even Prince and,
ass this now seemed an absurd
project to pursue, the gentle-
man on the other end of the gun
pulled out a little whistle which
he blew lustily, but being one of
those whistles only a dog can
hear it didn't make any noise.
His dog paid no attention and
continued to point 'me, evident-
ly expecting me to take off and
fly away any minute, but Prince
who has sensitive ears, ran off
at once into the woods and I
haven't seen him since. Anything
louder than the jarring Of a
cookie bowl cover offends
Prince,
The hunter then felt his way
along by setting each foot out
front gingerly and worked his
way up to my springhole, and I
think he might have fallen in if
his 'dog hadn't been in the way.
He was wearing a fine olive-
green.' hunting costume spang
out of the catalogue, with ample
zipper game pocket, belt for an
ax and utility cord, and had on
at least thirty dollars worth of
boots. His cap was livid red,
adorned with a fish and game
club emblem showing crossed
shotguns with leaping deer and
salmon, and a cock pheasant in

Our Manpower
At Low Ebb
Strength of Canada's armed
forces has fallen to its lowest
figure in two years.
A, Defence Department spokes-
man said the strength of the
forces at the end of July-latest
figure available - was 115,982.
The breakdown: Navy, 18,824;
Army, 47,397; R.C.A.F,, 49,761.
Toward the close of 1954, ser-
vice manpower stood at about
117,000. In 'March of the same
year it was 112,500.
The manpower ceiling set for
the armed forces is 120,000 ----
20,000 for the navy, 49,000 for
the army and 51,00 for the air
force. At the end of March last
year, total strength stood at 118,-
077, the highest figure reached
'since the defence buildup started
with outbreak of the Korean War
in 1950,
An army official said the army
is trying hard to recruit men,
especially in the infantry, but is
having trouble. He added that
recruiting always appears to be
slower in summer than in win-
ter and particularly in prosper-
ous times.
The shortage of army man-
power is shown in the strength
of the Regiment of Canadian
Guards. The regiment has four
battalions which normally would
have a strength of about 900 men
each. But not one of the batta-
lions has more than 500 men.
The 1956-57 white paper on
defence, issued by the govern-
ment earlier this year, said:
"Provision has been made Mr
some increase in strength in the'
navy and air force."
But the figures show the
strength is decreasing rather
than increasing though some im-
provement may be made this
coming winter. The R.C.A,F. par-
ticularly needs more men be-
cause the number of home de-
fence CF-100 night-fighter squa-
drons will be increased from
nine to 12.
The air force hopes to pick up
at least some men for these new
squadrons when the N.A.T.O.
Aircrew Training Scheme in. Ca-
nada is reduced. This process
will begin in about 15 months.

A. They can be arranged

Q. How can I remove the rust
and roughness from irons?
A. By rubbing them on emery

October dawned bright and
clear in these parts, although it
looked just like the last of Sep-
tember, and at first I didn't par-
ticularly notice the chance. But
later, when .the significant dif-
ference was called to my atten-
tion, I went and got my red hat.
The opening of the bird season
is observed faithfully around
here.
I've been repairing my spring.
My pipeline froze up during that
long cold spell we had last win-
ter, and we were without run-
ning water for time enough for
me to resolve it would not hap-
pen again. I started remedial
and preventive alterations as
soon as the frost went out of
the ground. I didn't rush the
job, because it isn't the kind of
job that needs rushing, and I
had all summer.
The spring is on the side hill
back of the buildings and has
been gently and abundantly
flowing excellent water for a
long time. Grandfather dug out
the basin and stoned it up when
he was a young man, using oxen
and hired hands who shared a
degree of mental and muscular
complexion which suited them
ideally for the task. Some of the
boulders are as big as pianos.'
Then when I came along I ran
a pipe from the spring to the
house without disturbing any of
his rock work, and with an elec-
trie pump was in business.
Gramp's job is still all right
up to a point, but in order to cap
the thing over with cement I
had to g6 down a ways and level
back, I had to put in a plank
form and provide for a remov-
able cover, designing the thing
s) I could get my -planks out af-
ter I ran the concrete, My aim
was to fix the place so freak
winters would never again shut
us off. And having no oxen and
hired hands, I fixed up simple
machines out of the elementary
psysics book, dawdled along as
I felt like it, and found the pro-
ject an interesting and enter-
taining summer diversion,
I rigged a tripod and chainfall
with which I hoisted out the
rocks I couldn't lift, and made
a ramp so I could back the trac-
tor-trailer beneath them and
haul them away. It worked fine,
and as September waned I could
see that all would be finished in
ample
SO on the first day of October
I was down inside the spring;
standing on a plank platfotni
just above the Water line, point-
ing tip the masonry just prior to
starting up the cement
