Hansen Intelligent and Promising Heavyweight Billy Gibson Hopes to Make Danish Boxer Next Champion of World By WALTER TRUMBULL (Copyright 1928 by North American Newspaper Alliance) iEW YORK. Sent. 8 Among "VTl the earlier visitors at Madl-I I eon Square Garden was Knute Hansen, the big blond heavyweight who has just put himself under the management of Billy Gibson. Billy hopes to make Knute the next champion of the world. Hansen Is a fine, clean-cut chap, with a good high-school education and, what Is far more educational, a pretty thorough knowledge of all parts of the world.

He has recently returned from a visit to the European countries, including the Scandinavian, and looks as If his trip had done him good. "I have gained considerable weight," Hansen told me, "since I fought over here before and I believe that I will go on filling out for the next couple of years. Tun-ney had some valuable ideas concerning this boxing game. He taught himself to relax and that is a great thing, especially between bouts. A man only has a certain supply of nervous energy and he must try to store it up until he needs it.

"Another thing that Tunney learned," continued Hansen, ad-jutting a very smart looking tie, "is the value of open air. When I start light training I'd like to go to some such place as Speculator, where there is a fine, exhilarating air and not much to do except exercise and loaf and get plenty of sleep." "Were you born In Denmark?" I asked. "Yea," replied Knute, "but I came to the United States when I was eight years old and got practically all my schooling here. I lived in Racine, sconsin, and they have good schools there. I stayed there up to the time I was 18 and, during the vacation months I got plenty of exercise by working for a wholesale grocer and throwing 200-pound bags of flour into wagons." "A lot of persons," Hansen added, smiling, "seem to have the Idea that I ran away and joined the navy.

As a matter of fart I went as a sailor on a square rigger." I talked to Hansen of many foreign ports; found that he had been in the customs service In China and knew South and Central America pretty well In addition to the big European cities. His last considerable stay was in Paris, where he saw, among others, Sparrow Robertson. Hansen is an Interesting and intelligent young man and, I think, a promising heavyweight, Tex Rickard's office Is somewhat like the famous sidewalk cafe of Paris, of whlrh It tnld that If you sit there long enough you will see most of the best known persons in the world. In Rickard's office you either see them or hear their voices or those of their secretaries on the telephone. Other visitors included Gene Buck, whose successful play "Ringside" is the most vivid picture of certain aspects of the fight game I ever i saw, and Jack Curley, who left the wrestling game flat long enough to take charge of the destinies of Squires.

Mr. Curley threatens to revive wrestling in New York early i in November. There is no profit in the mat game during the off season. I I The wrestlers have to be fed iven when there is no money 1 coming in at the gate. Idleness never seems to make any difference In a wrestler's appearance.

Most of the big ones are like full grown hippopotamus you don't notice the addition of 100 pounds more or less. Stanislaus Zbyszko has somewhat resembled a mammoth cuple for years, but a few extra yards around the belt line never made him any easier to put on his back. He can give the best of them a tussle yet, although he didn't do so- well from a wrestling point of view against Gama, the champion of India. We are told that Gama was fatter still. But, from the viewpoint of finance.

Grandpa Zbyszko cleaned up. He Is a clever old gentleman and he should be, since he is reputed to speak most -of the languages extant and several of the dead ones. I am told he was once a professor in a Polish university. Wrestling It not a bad profession. Joe Stecher made a fortune at it and it was the money made by Wayne Munn In wrestling which induced Monte Munn to take up boxing.

Moreover, wrestling Is restful. A wrestler spends much ef hit life lying down. PACIFIC COAST LEAQUE Missions, 15; Loa Angeles, 1, Hollywood, San Francisco, Sacramento, Oakland. 4. Porland, 1 Seattle, 3 3.

Sept. 8-For the first time in the history of the province of (Jiifhec Golf association the crown hi held by an amateur. In the tournament Jack Cameron, of Rlvermead, Ottawa, captured the laurels with 3fl-hole total of 148. Cameron had but an average 77 In the morning; and. as a result, wes prartlcally neslected by the gallery In the afternoon.

However, in the afternoon round he turned In a sterling 71 for a lead which withstood the assaults of all finishers. The title thus remains in Ottawa for the second straight year, having been captured last summer by Karl Keffer, professional of the Royal Ottawa club, who was a contender today, but weakened In the final round. Cameron waived his right to the first prize equivalent, nece.qsltatlnjr, a plav-off between Redvers MacKen-ie, and A. F. McPherson, Montreal nrofesslonaln, for the prize money.

Thev finished In second place behind Cameron with aRErregates of 150.

Bane had neard that the little fellow was near death and had kept asking for him, and bad left the ball park Immediately after the game and gone directly to the hospital. And I was reminded of Just an other Instance of the hundreds of young boys that the Babe has visited and made happy in the hospitals all over the country.

He has listened to the call of youthful distress so often that he has forgotten many of the namrs of the youngrters. which causes him some embarrassment. VValte Hoyt was telling me of one instance when the father of one of the boys that Ruth had visited In the hospital came down to the bench to personally thank the Babe for his to his son. "Glad to meet you again, old man," said Babe. "1 remember you and your boy well.

Hows' everything? How's the boy getting along Glad you looked me up!" The father of the boy was over-Joyed at the warmth of Ruth's welcome. Aa he left the bench In a daze with one of the precious autographed baseballs, Ruth turned to one of the players and Inquired: "1 wonder who that chap Is?"
