There are some, however, who believe that McTigue hag not extended himself in his workouts, The weights at which the men will tenter the ring are not known, but it is presumed Siki Wil have an advantage of about ten pounds, Many fight fans and boxers have arrived in Dublin to witness the bout, among them Frank Moran, Bombardier Wells and Jim Coffey, the Dublin giant.

Hoboken, N. J.,, March 16.—All t's: wild men who ever came from Born¥ are as tame as domestic house cats compared to Battling Siki, the Sene- gal warrior, who slammed Georges Carpentier from his world light heavyweight seat, according to the crew of the President Adams, of which Siki recently rode from Cher- bourg to Queenstown. 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, didn't know where he was. [Minally they found him in a Paris apartment. He had been getting down to weight by drinking strong liquor. When his »|wife tried to get him out of the apartment he blacked her eye. It ?lwas under a patch when she went on the ship. Siki, kicking like a roped calf, was carried aboard by six of the strongest stevedores in 1 |Cherbourg. Locked in his room he acted like a polar bear in a dry Kkiln. He snorted; he roared; he kicked the doors, banged up the furnishings and declared he was dying’ from 0 thirst. Then they told him he was aboard an American boat and the kind of thirst he had couldn't be Maynard 341 Leopurds. 5 332 1 I 8 Hanrahan Jones a; Hannon Low Man Connor .. n M k Grise Tobin . P. V. B. .

He also branded as false the story which emanated from Los An- geles that Dempsey had received such an offer, “I talked with Dempsey on the long-distance telephone today,” said Kearns, “and he knows nothing of any such offer. It is true that I am considering a proposition to take Dempsey to South America to fight Firpo, but nothing definite has been accomplished. The proposition is purely tentative and.no such figure as $750,000 has been mentioned at any time. Dempsey is willing to fight Firpo, Wills or any one else anywhere in the world and he de- mands no such terms as a half mil- lion dollars. “The public has been given the impression that Dempsey wants’ the Mint to box. This is absolutely false. Dempsey is willing to fight anyone, any time, and place, and all that he demands is that he be given a fair percentage of the pgate re- ceipts. Dempsey Wants Action, “What we want is action. Demp- sey is a boxer by profession, and he wants to work at it. It is up to the promoters to dig up an opponent for him. I have nothing definite in view at this time, but I do wish that some promoter would get busy."” Tex Rickard yesterday announced that Firpo is under a contract to him to box for no other promoter for a year. “I have arranged to match Firpo with some good heavyweight to box at the Yankee Stadium on May 12,” Rickard said. “That is the same date that Jess Willard and Floyd Johnson are to box there. Firpo wiil appear in another 15- round bout. I do not know what heavyweight I can get to fight Firpo but I will select the best man avail- able.” Rickard said that Sam Langford has been engaged to work out with Firpo and teach the big South Amer- ican some of the finer points of the game. Purse Called Ridiculous. Jose W. Agusti, who promoted the Firpo-Tracey bout in Buenos Aires last Octgber, is now in this city on personal business. Yesterday he branded as ridiculous the report of the $750,000 offer to Dempsey. “The people in Argentina are en- thusiastic but do not believe that they are sufficiently so to pay that much money to see even a world's championship bout,” he said. It was learned here yesterday that Captain Bob Roper, who is now in Roanoke, Va., has authorized Cap- tain Mabbutt of Camp Eustis, Va., to offer Firpo $25,000 to box Roper 15 rounds to a decision on July 4. 000 OFFER FOR DEMPSEY-FIRPO FIGHT —DODGERS DEFEAT BRAVES IN POURING RAINSTORM — EDDIE COLLINS DENIES BILLIARD RECEIPTS $9,167 Hoppe Receives $3,600 and Schaefer 2,400 From Recent Tourney For World's .18.2' Balkline Title, New York, March 16,—~The figure for the Willle Hoppe-Jake Schaefer world’s championship billlard match, which was concluded on Wednesday at the Hotel Pennsylvania with Hoppe retaning his title, were an- nounced officlally by T. A, Dwyer, secretary-treasurer of the Brunswick. Balke-Collender company yesterday. The match drew gross receipts of $9,- 167, Tt cost $2,220 to promote, After the war tax had been deducted the net receipts of $6,000 went to the pMyers. ° Hoppe recelved 60 per cent, or $3,600, and Schaefer 40 per cent, or $2,400. Hoppe also received the stake of $1,000, which represented the two $5600 forfeits posted by the rivals. He was presented with the $1,000 dia- mond medal, emblematic of the cham- pilonship, immediately following the mateh. Hoppe announced yesterday that his plans for the immediate future are somewhat vague at this time. ““I have received a theatrical offer to appear in vaudeville for eight or ten weeks, but have not decided whether I will accept it or not. I also have received numerous offers to appear in exhi- bitions around the country and prob- ably will go on tour for about three weeks. I think I will go to Chicago and work my way East.” ; Schaecfer received his money yes- terday and announced that he would leave for Chicagzo today and then pro- oeed to California. He seemed to be very anxious to get to the Coast. DAIS 10 RESIGN President of the United States Lawn Tennis Association, Announces He ‘Will Give Up Position. Washington, March 16.—Dwight F. Davis, assistant secretary of war, has announced that he would tender his resignation as president of the Unite¢ States Lawn Tennis association to the executive committee of that organi- zation at its meeting on Saturday in New York ecity. Mr. Davis, donor of the Davis cup, said he felt that his new duties in the war department would demand his closest attention, and necessarily he would have to reduce other ac- tivities accordingly.

The field was soggy and the players, especially the Braves, had great difficulty in fielding and throw- ing the ball. They roled up more errors than runs, N Robble used Decatur, Dickerman and Oilinger on the mound, wkile Watson, Benton and McNamara hurl- ed for the Braves. Each twirler out- lived three frames, and Dickerman was the only one who did not allow a hit, However, two runs were made off him. The Robins scored in the opening round on a triple by Stewart and Scheibner's single. They clinched the game in the sixth frame when they scored five runs off Benton. The tal- lies resulted from a double by Nels, singles by Johnston and Deberry and loose flelding on the part of the Bos- ton infielders. Like Opeming Day. Before the game the players parad- ed to the flagpole in the centerfield and the flag was raised while the band played the national anthem. The procession across the field was headed by President Ebbets, Judge Fuchs, owner of the Braves, Judge Landis and Mayors Booth and Pulver of Clearwater and St. Petersburg. / After the teams marched back {o {the diamond Judge Landis went to {the slab and Mayor Booth of Clear- water stood behind the plate.
