CAN GIBBONS KEPEAT IS THE QUESTION NOW H> K.MIt PI-AY Cnayno'il. I*)24. by Th? Advanc* New York. Feb 20 ? After Tommy Gibbons meets Joe White in Michi gan this week he will tackle Homer. Smith in N? w Orleans on March 7. He feels he should get by nice in these two battles and that they will lead the way to a series of battle* | cje'slgned not only to put him in form, but to keep him In the public eye in view of his projected fii?ht ! against Jack !)? nvpsey In New York in June. Whether Tommy can hurt Jack or not. a number of fans will probably be willing to pay Rood money to ?<ee whether or not Jack can g?'t to i Tommy. Out in Shelby Gibbons fought a superb defensive battle! and crossed the opinion of almost] k ? i v ? x ? i f in the world. " If h e can repeat here and finish i ?< frrfth and unhurt as he did In I Shelby the moral victory will be his because he will stand as the one man who hn? sufficient science to ke^p on his feet under fire of such ; a hitter as the prize ring has never known. - !

They Were Told That They Were Headed For It. lU JOHN It. FOHTER (Copyright. 1*24. By Th? Adtanct) Xt'W York. Feb. 20 ? The ball ground at St. Petersburg. Florida, where the Boston Braves will train, I is right in the heart of the most re- , fined Coney Island in the world. It is also located on the edge of Tampa1 Jia* Tini iird t h ? txnith tliuiu ib the long stretch of the Florida coast i line which reaches on and on until' it runs into a Key West cigar fac- ! tory and then jumps a few miles into another cigar factory in Hava-j na. St. Petersburg has the most cos mopolitan hunch of fans in ;hei Vnited States. They come from as far west as Washington and as fari east as Maine and they have been, watching the Boston Nationals train I so many years for the booby prize in the National League that they! say "you're it" before the team gets out of town. ' Once Boston left for the north* with A1 Lang, former mayor ami busiest man in Florida, telling them they were headed straight for the pennant. Boston naturally finished last aft^r that. "What'd you mean by pennant; when we were down here last sprihg." said those of the players who had been there the former, year when he returned the latter year. ??Labrador," said Mr. Lang in quick repartee. "Never heard of that league," re plied the player and to this day they jokingly refer in Boston to the pennant they are going to win in the Labrador League. The principal street in St. Petersburg is i/f tremendous inter est to the Boston players. There ar< benches along the street for the ac comodation ot_visiiors and go many are the visitors and so separated their homes that a man can hardly I |So the length' erf the street without finding someone from the old home town. One Boston busher walked down the street last Spring and just missed running into the arms of th? village tailor from his place. "An' that guy had the nerve to tell me he was hard up. an* me owin" him only t**n iron men." said the husher. "Her* he is livin' in the lap of luxury an' me tryln* to earn an honest livin." BESTCITY GAGEKS PLAY WASHINGTON A sharply contested and interest- i ing basket ball game is expected here Thursday night when the Washington High School boys' basket ball team meet9 the Eliza-1 belli City Highs on the luial iuuii. u Washington has a strong team this year, having defeated Belhaven in the first of the State champion ship games last week. If Eliza beth City boys can take the bacon from Washington Thursday night, it can be said that they have made . a highly creditable showing this sea- . son. And while the boys lost fur ther chance at the State champion ship last week when they met Eden-j ton it will afford them considerable satisfaction to give Washington a licking ? to have won out against a team that has at least made a start <11 the road to State chain-, pionship laurels. Coach Dwight points out that there is room for two hundred spec tators on th?- ground floor of the new high school court as well as consider hie room in the balcony and that fans need entertain no un-i easiness about not being able to see Thursdays name.
