Champions, near-champions and former kings of the squared circle have been counted out. ‘Two met tragic deaths, one dfed from pun-| ishment received in the ring and another as the result of an injury in a bout. Others died from natural causes. Early oné morning some vears ago Bill Brennan, a heavyweight trial horse, was and killed by gunmen three tough shot | in his New | York cafe. The shooting followed ! |° an altercation after most of the late | stragglers had departed. Brennan gained prominence in 1420 by holding Jack Dempsey, then | champion, virtually even through 11! ficrce rounds in Madison Square | Garden. In the twelfth, however, Liempsey knocked Brennan out. | Not long after Brennan's passing Billy Miske, also a heavyweight “trfal horse” succumbod at his home in St. Paul to an extended 1li- ness. Like Brennan, Miska also had been kayoed by Dempsey, going down in three rounds in 1920. Two years ago Pancho Villa, flashy little Filipino and king of the | fiywaights, died in a California ! hospital while on the opomnng} table. An infected tooth had poison- | ed Villa’s system. A few weeks later Vincent (Pep- per) Martin, prominent New York | featherweight, fell victim to pneu- | monia, passing on after a few days’| illness. | In the gray dawn of a December | morning in 19235, the body of Bat- | tling Siki, Senegalese light-heavy- | weight boxer and former champion, was found in New York's “Hell's Kitchen” district. Siki had been stabbed in the back. It was a sen- | sational end to a spectacular career. | Last October saw the passing in Atlantic City of one of ringdom's| most colorful fighters—Harry Greb. | Greb had held both the American | light-heavy and world's middle- | weight championships. Greb seldom trained for a fight, but the Pitts- | burgh “Windmill” was always in condition. Greb, like Villa, dicd in a hos-| pital where he had gone to have an | operation on his nose. It was consid- | ered a minor operation, but Greb failed to rally. Jimmy Delaney, St. Paul light ! heavyweight, died last March from | an infection resulting from an arm | injury in a bout at Buffalo shortly before. - Clever Sencio, anothzr Fillpino, | who many experts predicted would | take the place once occupied by ! Villa, died in Milwaukee after a bat- | tle with Bud Taylor, Terre Haute bantam, and considered in many quarters the king of ihs division. | clo proved no mateh for the | -hitting Taylor, taking terrific| vunishment.

Mrs. Chaplin’s attorneys in a tele- gram sent last Monday to Gavin McNab, the comedian’s chief coun- sel in San Francisco. Terms of the [ offer were not revealed, however, until yesterday it was learned that the offer had been rejected. The first intimation that the ne- ! gotlations+had failed came from | Lloyd Wright, one of Chaplin’s at- | torneys here, who {issued a state- | ment saying Mrs, Chaplin had de- manded $1,250,000 in cash from his lient, | Mrs. Chaplin's attorneys, Lyndol L. Young and Edwin T. Murray, promptly produced a copy of a telegram which they said they had sent to McNab offering to scttle for 13650,000 and a share of the earn- ings of Chaplin’s latest feature pic- ture “The Gold Rush.” A share in ! his uncompleted production “The | Circus” on which work was dropped | when the Chaplins separated last | fall also was asked. | According to testimony a recent | alimony hearing, the total income | from “The Gold Rush” has been 182,600,000 of which Chaplin receiv- ed 75 per cent, $1,950,000. Mra. Chaplin’s settlement offer asked 25 | per cent of the latter sum, or $437.- 500. Exclusive of the earnings of the | projected picture “The Circus” thts | would make her demand total at'| | least $1,136,500. | Mrs. Chaplin's attorneys also made public a reply which they said they had received from McNab it | read: | “I will not present vour offer of { settlement contained_in your tele- | gram as I consider it unjust and | unreasonable.” | Mrs. Chaplin’s lawyers concluded | that “there is is nothing left to do | but fight.” “We will fight for what Mrs. { Chaplin is entitled to under Cali- | fornia law—a minimum of half the community property or all of it un- {der the charges in the complaint”, | Young said. | In her divorce complaint, bristling | with charges of cruelty, Mrs. Chap- {lin estimated the Chaplin com- | munity property to be worth $10,- {000,000, | Mrs. Chaplin’s settlement terms |also required that the comedian | provide for the support and main- | tenance of their two children by | creating a trust fund to yield $12,- {000 a year and also to make them { heirs in his will. |3 Knives and 2 Forks Used in One Suicide Innsbruck, Austria, May 6 (UP)— Three knives and two forks tigured |in the death of Cecilie Markl, 54, of | this city, when she committeéd sui- |cide here recently. | For a time murder was suspected but letters written by the woman on |the day before her death convinced {the coroner that she killed herself.
