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.”

"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.

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.

Princeton Tiger
Heads List of
Eastern Teams
Omaha Bee Wire.
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. Carnegie Tech. Sprlngfled and Ver

11 T«ehlgh and Rutger®.
12 Gettysburg.

Nebraska might tangle with Min

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.

Knuckle Bouncing Sport in
Slump; High Purses in N. Y.
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;.

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.

THE THINKING FELLOW, CALLS A YELLOW
High Gridiron
Title in Balance
Next Friday
Lincoln. 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. This time it was the
Midwest nil-event record that went by
the board. G. Oeiser of the Blrk
Brothers team, Chicago, set the new
record at 1.94fi.
Gabel of Pes Moines made the for
mer record of 1 .HI 1 In Des Moinea last
year. A. Spinelli of Brooklyn set the

spring.
