Senegalese Conqueror of French Fistic Idol Says Crowd Caused Him to Double-Cross Georges Faria, Dec. 4.—(By A. P.)—‘'Bat tling" Sikl. the Senegalese con queror of Georges Carpentler declared today In the presence of Deputy OFOKOB8 CASPEJiTIER Diagne and two witnesses that his fight with Carpen tier for the light heavywel g h t world's champion ship had been "framed,” but that during the fight he had determined to be the winner. Sikl said that once he was in the ring with a crowd of 50,000 people ac claiming him and conscious of his own strength he had had a revul sion of feeling, despite reminders from his corner, during his minute’s rest after the third round and had decided to go in and win . "X entered the ring in a bewildered condition," said Sikl, and began to do as I agreed, dropping to one knee in the first round after two minutes of fighting. Bernstein (the referee), brought me up shortly, saying ‘get up. Sikl. you're not hurt.’ "I was in a trance throughout the second round discussing within myself whether I should lie down or fight. Georges wasn't hurting me, although he reached me with two hard rights to the Jaw which caused the ringside spectators to grunt much harder than I . "At the beginning of the third round, I had fully decided that I would take another count as ngreed," Sikl went on, "but the round had progressed two minutes before Georges lilt me hard enough to give me a chance to go down. A right iwing then hit me high on the cheek, and I said ‘heregoes.’ 1 dropped to one knee, fully resolved to stay there. "Then the howls of the multitude reached my head, which seemed to clear, 'He's beaten: the negro is finished,' were the jeers that as sailed me. "Then during these seven seconds that 1 was kneeling before Carpentler I made up my mind to fight. I knew I could win. You remember how I jumped up and swung my left, which caught Georges flush on the point of the Jaw." Sikl rose and gave a demonstration for the benefit of Deputy Diagne, who looked on with apparent pride at his compatriot. "You know the rest.” continued Sikl. "how George with a look of sur prise on his face went down for the count of four and clinched. "From the fourth round on I didn’t hurt h m too badly. I felt bint to bo verv weak, his blows lacking sting. I whispered to him Several times that he should quit, but instead he butted me twice and hit me below the belt, which further enraged me and strengthened my determination to win as the crowd was now favor ng me and cheering, while they hooted Georges for his rough work.” Murphy Wins Rice.

HOT STOVE ) LEAGUE L *<0*6 "Pug” Griffln, Omaha Western league fielder, will play first base for the Buffaloes next season, unless the new manager is a first baseman, ac cording to word received from Bar ney Burch, owner of the club. Fred Wilder, Buffalo catcher who was injured in a game at Sioux City during the latter part of the schedule, is working on a farm near his home in Springfield, Mass. In a letter to the writer, ‘ Red” says he is getting into good condition for the coming baseball season by chopping wood, a la "Babe” Ruth. Should Burch land Joe Berger, Wichita shortstop, as manager of the Buffaloes, the Omaha club will have one position on the dinmond filled by an experienced player. Outfielder Rlnaldo Williams, who toiled for .lack Holland's St. Joseph Drummers back seven or eight years ago, is a bearcat for getting into post season series. In 1920 he was with Fort Worth and got in the first Dixie series, played that year between Fort Worth and Little Rock. Then F’ort Worth sold him to Memphis and he helped that club under Spencer Ab j bott win the 1921 pennant and thus got In the series that fall. At the end of 1921 Memphis sold him to Mobile, present champions of the Southern league, and so Rtney got into his third Dixieland champion ship series. Everett Yuryan, the former Wich ita catcher and renowned Western league fence buster, probubly will not wear a White Sox uniform again next season, according to reports from Chicago. The Seattle Pacific Coast league club is said to be dickering for the services of the backstop, who went to Comlskcy’s team three years ago from Jobbcrtown. Yaryan at one time was with the Maryville, Mo., semi-pro team. Muskogee probably will dot break its neck to accept the ofTer of the Western league and become a mem ber of the Teamey circuit, according to word from the Oklahoma town. Muskogee a week or two ago was of fered the Sioux City franchise. The territory can be annexed, hut that in volves too many complications, it is said, »o be etraightened out between now and the time the 1923 campaign begins. It is not regarded as likely that the Southwestern league will surrender the city. No deal was made to move the franchise into Lin coln, so it may be that Sioux City will remain In the Western league another year. How Omaha Bowlers Spilled Pins in Midwest SINaLE*. Omaha. T.

LIEB. BASEBALL'S manager-extraordi nary is John Joseph Mod raw. Regardless of what one thinks of McOraw and his system, It stands for success. Actually it stands for JOH* 1. HeOKAW. the supreme achievement i n baseball accom plishment. In his 20 complete sea sons in command of the Giants. Me Graw has won eight pennants and eight seconds. In 16 seasons out of 20, he either has won the championship or been the runner up in the flag race. Only once in those 20 years, he has finished in the second division. His club was last in 1915, yet it was a freak year and the Giants were in the fight as late as August. It was the year in which tho Phillie9 won with the lowest percentage ever re corded in the 47 National leamie races and the Giants had the highest per centage ever hung up by a big league tailender. The very next season, Mc Graw broke all big leugue records, when his team ran off a string of 26 straight victories. McGraw is two pennants ahead of Connie Mack, his nearest rival, and is tied with Connie with three world's championships. McGraw also won high honors as a player before he plunged into the man agerial end of the game. Born in Truxton, New York, in April 1873, he began his professional career with the Clean, New York, club in 1890. He played with Cedar Rapids the next year, wh-re a teammate was Henry Fabian, now groundkeeper at the Polo Grounds The Baltimore club, then still a member of the old American associa tion, purchased McGraw, and he made his dehut with the Orioles in a game played in Baltimore, Md., on Aue-ust 26, 1891. McGraw'” fir 1 salary at the age of 18 was 81,200 ■ year. Now he gets W5.000 for man aging the Giants, in addition to shar ing liberally in the profits of that splendid money maker. The following season, 1892, Balti more was made a member of the 12 club National league, and McGraw began to attract attention with his aggressiveness and general ability. Under Hanlon's famous three-time winners, McGraw distinguished him self as one of the most famous bats men, base-runners and lnfielders In the game. I It was while playing with the fa mous Orioles that McGraw tuned up the baseball brain, which for 20 years has been the greatest asset of the New York Giants, baseball champions of the universe. Criqui Beats Matthews. Paris, Dec. 4.—Receipts from the bout between Eugene Criqui, French bantamweight champion, and Billy Matthews of England, here last Sat urday night amounted to 265,000 francs, It was announced today.

New York. Dec. 4.—Out of the con fusion of the most indecisive football season in many years, comes the real ization that the task of ranking the eastern elevens is no longer a parlor uipusement. Time was when one sat difwn to the work with comforting knowledge th&t there were teams which were outstanding leaders and also teams which were not. The tusk was absorbing and interesting. Now. however, it is a gruelling sport in It self and the day may come when there will be aranking of rankings. Even a casual inspection of the 1922 records shows that the various lead ing elevens are remarkably well matched. With the exception of Princeton, there is no eastern team which points a clear path to the ob server. One immediately discovers that the Tigers moved smoothly along to all their objectives, and for that reason among others, they are placed at the top. Going further down the list, how ever. the football handicapper discov ers contradictions and confusion—so much of it. in fact, that the records tend to defeat their own purpose. One of the most amazing features of the season was the inconsistency of the outstanding teams. No team was free of defeat except Princeton, Cornell, Army and West Virginia, and many of the defeats cannot be explained by logic or by any system of calcula tions. No attempt has been made to ven ture beyond a list of 20 teams Jn fit ting the eastern elevens Into their re spective niches. On the basis of judg ment outlined above the elevens are ranked by the New York -Times as follows: 1 Princeton 2 Army and Cornell. 3 Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh and Syra cuse. 4 Harvard, Navy and Weat Virginia. 5 Tale. 6 I.ayfayetto and Penn Stat®. and Hoy Cross. 7 Colgate. 8 Brown, Dartmouth and W. and 9 Boston college, Bucknel, Georgetown and Holy Crows. 10.

Minnesota Not on Husker Sked Lincoln, Dec. 4.—(Special Tele gram.)—Returning from Chicago and tlie meeting of “Big Ten” offi cials. Head Coach Fred Dawson started preparing next year’s foot hall schedule. It- was reported in a special dispatch from Chicago that Nebraska might tangle with Min nesota, but the Nebraska mentor stated he knew nothing at all about, this reported arrangement. The practice game with Illinois, Octo ber 6, makes five games which will be on the 1923 Cornliusker schedule. Syracuse, Notre Dame and Kan sas will be three teams which will help inaugurate the new memorial stadium. The other foreign game besides the I’rhana struggle, will be with Missouri at Columbia. There are three more dates on the Corn linsker card which will be filled when the Misaouri Valley confer ence officials get together in annual meeting Saturday at Kansas City. Lynch Going to Coast. Los Angelos, Pec. 4.—Joe Lynch, bantamweight boxing champion, will come to the Pacific coast within a month, according to a telegram re ceived here. The champion will first visit San Francisco, and it is expected he will box in several coast cities. Football Officials to Organize Against a Boycott by Colleges NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—Some time this month football officials from all parts of the east will gather and form an association which will take in every man who has the approval of the central board. This organ ization will set out to make radical changes In notions of sportsmanship which exist at certain colleges. The chief weapon will be the boycott. Colleges which are guilty of falling to uphold the decisions of officials— colleges which expect referees and umpires to be "homers” and favor the home team—colleges which bar officials because of decisions against their teams—these will find that they cannot obtain the services of approved men. V This freeze nut system is expected i to do away with certain evils which in recent seasons have grown so1 ! serious that E. K. Hall, chairman of i the rules committee, was called on to j make them the chief topics of his 1!>21 report to the National Collegiate j Athletic association. Hall's warning did good this fall, but there still were quite a few col ] leges which expected some of the ! officials to do their bidding regardless ! of rules. Officials have been warned that .

Cause of Drop in Fistic Game • By WANK <i. MENKE. Copyright. 1922. r VEN the knuckle bouncing sport is in something of a slump. It looks like a rather drear win ter for most of the gentry with busted front pieces, inasmuch as the business of dollar making has skidded consider ably in New York —and is perishing elsewhere. New York put the rollers under the fight game in other purlieus around the country—and now New York is becoming a bit punch drunk Itself. The high and ultimately the ruin ous purses Tex Rickard hung up is mainly responsible for it all. Before fisticuffing galloped back to the Empire State, the game flour ished in different parts of New Jer sey, In Denver along the Paciflo slope, in Milwaukee, in a half dotted other towas in Wisconsin, In cer tain parts of Indiana, in Memphis, New Orleans, Boston and a lot of other places. Ixtwer Prices, The prices charged were reasonable. The fighters didn't get the price of a king's ransom every time they met— but they got plenty of work which, at the end of the year, meant a nice, healthy bank balance. Then back came New York, with a blare of trumpets, a blaze of glory and staggering prices. Rickard, for the dual purpose of getting real tal ent and lots of publicity, offered fight ers anywhere from five to 20 times what they were accustomed to get elsewhere. The stampede was on! The boys of the tin chins, the flat tened beezers and the meaty ears forgot all else in the world but the hope of a New York bout. They scoffed at the offers made by Boston, Milwaukee, Denver, New Orleans and other promoters—offers which once were eagerly snapped at. They wanted offers from Rickard— they wanted the $5,000, $10,000, $20 000 and $40,000 donations of the "gambling westerner." Got Away With It. Rickard got awnv with the thing for a time. For New Yorkers, de prived for several years of the sight of fighters in action, were so fistic hungry that they paid the huge ad mission prices which Rickard was forced <o ask to make good on his purse guarantees and to clear a little profit for himself. But all the while Rickard was kill ing the geese which were laying the gilded eggs for himself and the fight ers. The reaction was suro to set in: the revolt against huge admission prices was certain to come after the first fight hunger of fandom was ap peased. The public began to pass up the fancy priced Garden fights. Then the boxing commission stepped in. It fixed a limit for ad mission tickets. That was fair enough—for the common pecpul. But not for Rickard, for the simple reason that the fighters, having become money-mad, cared not that the Rick ard Intake had been decreased by of ficial ruling. They wanted those nice, fancy purses, please—"or we won’t fight.” “Cornish” Helps Rickard. In this emergency the commission, which had previously helped the cash customers, turned around and helped Rickard. U ruled that henceforth the purse guarantee system would be the bunk—that it wan officially, com pletely and finally dead. "Men in the main bouts now will fight on a percentage basis." So ruled the august Cornish! And bango went those huge purses; bango went the $10,000, $20,000 and $40,000 stuff. The fighters and their managers walled und whined that they couldn't fight for such little money as the cut-rate admissions and percentage arrangements would net them. But they’re doing I;. f»SqysBugs' Ucier*: THE GLUTT WAS ULTRA-TIMID Demanded Accident Insurance from Faculty Before Opening an Egg. Dear Sir: Rutherford plays N'utley on the fith of December for the All-Village championship of America. Wo would like to borrow The Glutt if he can slug on a neutral field. Rutherford will have a brass band on the field and the team has voted not to celebrate Armistice day un til the last N'utley player has a low er berth in Casket park. It will be a game going miles to avoid. Yours sincerely, JACK WALLACE, Rutherford. THE faculty of Grudge college checked up on the oven re celpts and vetoed The Glutt's chances of right slugbaek on Ruth erford. Nutley has Just made them a better offer. Angered by A. B. See's attack on ro-ed colleges, a wealthy philanthro pist has just donated 5,000 educa tional blackjacks to Grudge college. This completes their gymnasium ap paratus. All they need now are brass knuckles and sandbags. The Glutt wanted to put the con crete mitt on Siki, but the faculty are against post-season games. However, he will be head Bite coach at Pasteur institute this win ter, and expects some sharp con test s. It was a dull season this tall. The Glutt will play with Rutherford pro vided the game Is played under the old Sixty-ninth regiment rules. When The Glutt plays football he takes no prisoners. Owing to the fact that the Red Cross drive is on, and that there aren’t sufficient funds for Rough town football games, Grudge col lege has been forced to play an easy game. Their detention camps are full of rival college football teams. The faculty has requested The Glutt to establish reprisals as it is cheaper to bayonet fullbacks than to feed them. The Glutt has promised to tight en up in the next game. If Ruther ford wants him to play slugback, ! they had better get Blaine Damon and his rubber chin out of the way. The Glut! has his posse all ready and will play for his usual amateur salary. One thousand dollars and expenses to the winter cruise In the Mediterranean. Anybody desiring the services of a good slugback will address the eligibility committee. Matteawan. •"This is not a ***sr<»* $10.00 Vellnw Cab Coupon Book Riven away each week for the best slogan.

Dec. 4 —Although the tima and place of the poet-season cham pionship high school football match between Kearney and Lincoln High schools has not yet been set by the Mhletic board of control. Indications are thnt the title classic of tho sea son to determine tho state champion in this sport will he played on Friday of this week, either at Lincoln or at Kearney. Kearney has emerginl from the foot ball campaign of 1H22 without a de feat. Lincoln was U« feated by Omaha Central High school, but the gam* was later forfeited to the local team on account of the discovery of an in eligible player on the Central team. The Kearney line is heavier than tho Lincoln line. This may serve to slop tho heavy back Held of the locals. Both teams are in the prime of con dition. Both have shown some re markably tine football playing For strategy Lincoln is known to be among the foremost of the state teams. Critics believe that the two teams are about equally matched. Compara tive scores show that Kearney de feated Grand Islnnd, 2fi to 0. while Lincoln defeated Grand Island by a score of ltf to 2. Kearney defeated York, 14 to C, but Lincoln beat the same team, 34 to 0. Front these fig ures, It can readily he seen that there is little by which to Judge the *11 perlor team, as gauged by the sea son's play. Much interest is centering in the proposed coming match There Is probably more interest in this game than there was in the contest when North Platte won the title last year for the reason of Lincoln's unex pected reentry into the championship held after defeat by Omaha Central High school. Had it not been for the withdrawal of this team from the title race, the championship game would have had less interesting as pects. Pin Record Set. Kansas City, Mo., Pec. 4—(Special Tetegrom.) — Another record shat tered. Breaking records has become a common occurrence in the Midwest howling tourney.
