H TAME COMPARED TO SIKI All the wild men who ever came from Borneo are as tame as domestic cats, compared with Battling Siki, the Senegal warrior, who slammed-Georges Carpentier from Siki's manager booked passage for his man on the ship so that he could get to Ireland to train for his match with Mike McTigue on St. Patrick’s day. The battler disappeared four days before the ship sailed. His wife, a Dutch woman, dldn’t know where he was. Finally they found him in a Paris apartment. He had been getting -down to welght by drinking strong liquor. When his wife tried to get him out of the apartment he blacked her eye. It was under a patch when she went on the ship. Siki, kicking like a roped calf, w carried aboard by six of the 'strongest stevedores in Cherbourg. Locked in his room he acted like a polar bear in a dry kiln. He snorted, he reared, he kicked the doors, bang- ed up the furnishings and declired he was dying from thirst. Then they told him he was aboard an American boat and the kind of thirst he had couldn’t he quenched just then. 8o he spat his disgust and calmed. He left the boat peaceably. “But say,” remarked a seaman on his world light-heavyweight seat, according to the crew of the Pr;uident Adams, on which Siki recently rode from Cherbourg to Queenstown. the President Adams, “ain't that guy got a nerve to fight an Irishman in Ireland on St. Patrick’s day?” Senegalese Is Favorite. By the Associated Press. DUBLIN, March 16.—Mike McTigue and “Battling” Siki both are said to be in splendid condition for their bout at the Scala Theater tomorrow. The fighters have been giving spar- ring exhibitions on alternate days to large. crowds in the rotunda this week. The impression is that Siki has been more effective in his work, and the betting, which had favored Mc- Tigue, now has turned in favor of the Senegalese. Pacis Fight Is Arranged.

MYER BOVERS BEST QUANTICO MARINE TEAM Fort Myer boxers, who outhointed the Quantico marine team in-three of five ‘bouts held last night in’ the ring in the riding hall at. the military pgst on the heights above Rosslyn, are looking for more worlds to conquer. They will entertatn representatives of Camp Eustis March 28, and their ex- hibitlon against the leathernecks in- dicates that the coast artillerymen will have to produce some mighty capable boxers if they would over- come the Myer mittmen. Two of last night's bouts were ended by knockouts, the rival teams sharing in the honors, while the others went to decisions, -A pair of ‘them were finished In six rounds, but Morrison of Myer and Taveriskey of Quantico were so well matched in their lightweight encounter that a seventh round was necessary to de- termine a winner. The victory finally was awarded to the marine, who seemed to be in far better condition physically than the Fort Myer man. The only other ma- rine success was scored in the welter- weight class, in which Ptomey, an in- experiences Fort Myer representa- tive, was knocked out by Sholblock of Quantico in the first round. Piscitelli started Fort Myer toward victory when he earned a decision over O'Rourke of the marines in_the featherweight class. Jones of Fort Myer, substituted for Carbon, a ban- tam, When Taverrella of Quantico was found to be overweight, surprised his opponent and every one else by scor- ing a knockout in the third round. The_ final bout between Ward of Fort Myer and McCarthy of Quantico, middleweights, provided six keenly contested rounds. Many at the enter- tainment thought a draw verdict due, but the declsion went to the Fort Myer man. Both fighters went down for long counts during the fray.

For a man of Siki’s color to plaster a man such as Michael Francis Ircland, champion middleweight of It suggests worse ki apparently, intends The quickest thing oné Irishman will do is beat up another. But he hates to see any one else lambast a memHBer of his race.

McTigue Is Good Fighter. McTigue never made much of-an impression in the United States, and it is difficult to determine why. He fought an unexpectedly good battle against ama Joe Gans in the ring at Boyle's Thirty Acres the day Bryan Downey and Johnny Wilson held their bloomer affair. Besides winning over Joe Gans Mc- Tigue has won decisions bver such top-notchers as Harry Greb, Jeff Smith, Johnny Klesch, Silent Martin and Gene Brosseau. In 107 battles he scored forty-seven knockouts, ch indicates that he is a far better scrapper than his popularity in this country would indicate. He got off to a bad start by being a part of the ill-omened Wilson-Downey show, and any fighter who mixes with Jeff Smith can hardly help putting up a bout that will disappoint the crowd Beating Siki, McTigue 1l hold the light-heavyweight championship of the world. Carpentier in this event probably decline to proceed further with plans to do pattle with Siki and would go after Me Tigue. In the meantime as chal- for his title he would have mericans, Greb, Tunney and Tommy Glbbons. —_— LETTER CLUB AT EASTERN.
