' STEADY RING WORK
HELPS GIBBONS IN
AMASSING WEALTH
ST. PAUL,'Minn.. Aug. IS.—Pug
ilistic prestige and big- purses at last
coming to Tommy Gibbons, at a
time whetn the St. Paul heavyweight
s long past the age when most fight
ers are in their prime.
Fighting gam up the long, hard
Ml to fame, G.ubons achieved a
fovnrdab’.e summit when he sc'.yen
lo rounds with Jack Dempsev in
Montana a year ago. That “mo al
victory, ’ after naaviy 17 years of
ring experience / pened the way to
toe 'U.gcst purser the St. Paul fight
er has ever received.
'1 here was no direct renumua>i ui
for Gibbons ’ hi.- fight wYu Demp
sey but now at the age of ;d he i
“cashing in" «•>. the show in: >• ' ha.
made, an-1 aw ; 1 ntly is at the ..oni*P
of his ring tu eer.
Foi his fight with Geo;g." 0;r. p
■•ntier at V- G igan City, last May.
he received his largest purse, . .d'-,
OOf Previously, his top has beer.
*■ $12,500 for a match with Garry
“ Greb. He received $50,000 for his
■ fight with Jack Bloomfield, the Eng
lish heavyweight, in London the other
clay.
It has been no cushioned read for
Tommy, however, for under the ex
pert eye of his older brother Mike
Gibbons, he has followed a rigorous
rule of living, full of self-denial.
There is none of the “bar room”
fighter in Tommy’s makeup. He has
carried the gentlemanly bearing of
his private life into the ring and
finds in his home life his greatest
delight. Most of the time, aside
from light engagements, is devoted
to his wife and five children, all
boys.* The youngest are twins, born
only a few weeks ago. His oldest
boy is eight.
By nature Tommy is modest and
very little in the limelight that would
gladly welcome him, even in his own
home town. Back in the days when
Brother Mike’s ring prowess gained
him the name of “Phantom,” Tommy
saw the opportunities for a much
more renumerative occupation than
as an employe in the railroad shops
here. Then began the long, slow
climb to ring prominence.
“Clean living and right thinking.”
Tommy once said, “can do more to
keep a fellow in condition than the
hardest training interrupted by oc
casional lapses into dissipation.”
In recent years Tommy has estab
lished an enviable ring record, in
cluding a long list of knockouts
Even after his 15-round contest with
Champion Dempsey there still stood
his record of never having been
knocked down in a ring engagement.
There has been no talk from Tom
my of retiring from the ring. He
wants another engagement with
Dempsey, and expects to keep
after it until he lands it. But when
retirement comes, unless he suffers
unforseen business reverses before
then, Tommy will probably bo able
to retire to a life of comparative
ease, for he has made income-yield
ing investments with his winnings.
His brother Mike also has invest
ments in city and other property
which “have fixed his for life.” Tom
my .however, has turned to stocks
and bonds, so that coupon clipping is
his principal business occupation
outside ring activities.
