Attempting a come-back at the age of 36, McTigue was knocked out in two rounds by George Hoffman, for: mer national amateur champion. at the St. Nicholas arena last night. Hoffman, with only a mediocre record among the professionals, found the exlight heavyweight champion an easy victim. McTigue’s career has been full of surprises. Beginning his pro career in 1915, the Irishman fought eight years, with more or less success, be- fore he inveigled Battling Siki, the singular Senegalese, ino a Dublin ring on St. Patrick's day, 1923. McTigue won the decision, and the light heavy- weight title. Mike went down hill fast.

As a result, all day was to be given over to time trials in the hope that the starting lineup would be com- pleted by nightfall. The 33 fastest cars ‘will be eligible to start in the race. Heavy showers and motor trouble prevented qny driver from qualify- ing his mount yesterday. Myron Stevens, Los Angeles driver, provided the only thrill when he lost control of his car late in the day and was hurled from it as it skidded on a turn into repeated somersaults. Stevens escaped with a fractured right arm and bruises. The car, entered by Wil- liam White, of Los Angeles, was JAMESTOWN NINE TRIS PESSNDE (Special to the Tribune) Jamestown, N.
