LARGE CROWD WILL SEE SENEGAL FIGHTER IN HIS FIRST BOUT “OVER HERFT Scrap Has Great Possibilities for Future Business at Madison Square Garden—Norfolk Tough, Rugged and Hard-Hit ting Colored Light-Heavyweight. By DAVIS J. WALSH NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—A heavily muscled colored man, with a veneer of civilization scarcely skin deep, and the instincts of a child, is to meet an American negro at the modem and Intellectual art of fisticuffs tonight and the cutomers are so enamored of the prospect that Madison Square Garden is a "sell out." The principals are Battling Siki of ™V , * Senegal, not over long out of the African jungles, and Kid /it t J Norfolk of Harlem, whose appearance might lead one to a v Is. "■ A suspect that he is cnpable of swinging by his tail and hurl L ./ ibg cocoanuts. It may be a real fight but It is more likely j / / to be a hippodrome. * \j ) The has Pffiat possibilities for future business V except that neither man comes within the letter and spirit of championship ability. Norfolk is and always was a '-'S *3 £>' mediocrity and if Siki doesn't win, the common Impression that he ia just a jungle fighter will reach the stage of conviction. However, you can keep neither a good man nor a customer down The latter has Insisted on saying it with greenbacks at the box office and we don’t know that we altogether blame him. Siki as a public character is hothlng if not interesting. • He is the same Siki who startled the cauliflower industry by knock ing out Carpentier, the pale flower of France and becoming the world's light heavyweight champion. He is none other than the same party who socked waiters and gendarmes on the Paris boulevards and the chin, con sumed prodigious quantities of ab sinthe and finally consented to meet Mike McTigue, an Irishman, in Dub lin on St. Patrick day. Siki ceased to be champion automatically. That was inevitable. . He has been in this country for about six months and this is to be his first appearance under colors here. vm It may or may not he his last. To get further action in America, Siki must at least make a respectable showing against Norfolk, and at odds of 7 to 5, the gamblers are saying that he is due to lose. At that, the Senegalese, if reports can be believed, will enter the ring in better condition than at any time in his career. He is said to have discovered the use of water, as other than a mdtilum for washing, while training at Summit, N. J.. has been Inveigled into taking to the road In the mornings and altogether has lived a simple live. The rest of It. therefore, lies with Siki himself. Remarkably strong and active, he is said to know little about boxing, his idea of generalship including wild and eccentric leaps from the floor as he delivers a blow. Just what effect these tactics will have upon Norfolk is problematical. If they sdare the American suffi ciently, Slkt may win. If not, he is in for a busy evening. Norfolk is a very rough citizen when he thinks he ban win. Oklahoma Aggie Lineup Crippled A. and M. Coach Preparing Second String Men for Creighton. ■I Stillwater, Okl., Nov. 20.—Oklaho ma Aggies have returned to Still water with five grtdsters severely In jured and a half dozen others nurs ing minor hurts, as the result of their battle Saturday at Dallas with South ern Methodist university. Crutchfield mainstay at fullback for three years, probably has played his last game. He is in a local hos pital suffering from blood poisoning.

With these crippled regulars out and other cripples of earlier games unable to scrimmage, the A. and M college varsity faces its hardest at home game of the season. Saturday Creighton university will eome from Omaha to furnish the op position before a homecoming crowd.

If so, enough said. Jim Moise is one of the most en thusiastic duck hunters in this terri tory. Jim, for 10 years, did a lot of his shooting on Horseshoe lake as a member of the Horseshoe Rod and Cun club. V.'lth the passing of the club Into the llmlio of forgotten things Jim finds It Impossible for him to give up the habit of hunting on what was once a splendid duck hole. He still goes out, sits patiently In his blind and as evening steals in over the Helds, quietly gathers up his decoys and hits for home. He will, with a smile, tell you that he "had the out ing. anyway!" Dr. Edwin Davis has joined the "Believe It or Not” club. He states that should you have occasion to walk over open ground on a flock of lucks that there Id absolutely no need to crawl laboriously over the ground an Inch at a time and much to the wetting of your clothes and your own discomfort. "Simply wave a white cloth," says the doctor, "and walk slowly towards the flock. They will not take fright. It’s the same principle as the wav ing of a red rag on a stick or wav ing your legs to a herd of antelope. The ducKs will allow you to get to shooting distance before they rise.” How about it? Does he get the medal? Athletic Official Scores Paddock Detroit, N’ov. 20.—Charlie Haddock of Los Angeles, world's champion sprinter, was roundly scored for his criticism in the press of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States by William C. Prout, president of the A. A. U.. in an address which opened the 35th annual convention of that body here today. Prout declared that Paddock, piqued because he was punished by the A. A, U. for disregarding the rul ing prohibiting athletes to compete abroad before the Olympic games, had held up the A. A. U. to ridicule and contempt in the press. He re ferred to newspaper interviews with Paddock in which the latter is quoted as declaring that "the A. A. U.'s best athletes were professionals and that the A. A. U. knew It." also that “he himself had been offered $1,000 to run in New York before sailing for Europe last spring.” Prout recommended that summary action be taken against Paddock, forcing him to prove the charges or retract them. Prout charged the California sprinter with making a tour of the country to lecture on sportsmanship, for which lectures he was paid, and declared that Pad dock's financial sccount in the last Olympic games was not yet balanced.

Members Tax Valua tion Is Excessive—Says Expenses Lower. By Associated Press. Kansas city, Mo., Nov. 19.—West ern shippers pay freight rates on ex cess railroad valuation of approxi mately $1,250,000,000, Clyde M. Reed, chairman of the Kansas public util ities commission and leader In the fight for lower grain rates In be half of eight states, asserted today In Ostifying here today before John J. Each and Johnson B. Campbell, ln tcielate commerce commissioners. "I believe that the commission would find that the value of railroads for rate making purposes In the west ern district Is verv much too high,'1 Chairman Reed declared. "I* would be too bad to have the fanner and shipper carry this burden for 10 years or until the commission finally completed the tentative valuation ot ail railroads." Mr. Reed based Ids attack against the existing rates on a comparison of valuations hs claimed by the railroads •ompared with those fixed by the in terstate commerce commission. Fig uring the ratio of shrinkage, Mr Reed asserted, the railroads had an aggregate excess valuation of $1,204, 850,138. While the farmer was pinching his purse strings, Mr. Reed says, ex penses of the major railroads declined in the last year. Nickname Creighton University Nickname. • Name...,.. Address.

Nov. 20.—There are many mistaken Impressions about people In the public eye-—especially show folk. Some of the impression* are the handiwork of ambitious press agents and others are merely off shoots of gossip. Harry Lauder, the Scotch comedian, is assumed to be one of the thriftiest of souls. Early in his American ca reer his press agent found that stories of thrift pinned to Lauder got a ready reception in the newpaper shops. The truth is Lauder Is far from be ing thrifty. He occupies the most ex pensive suites in New York hotels, travels In private caxs. entertains handsomely and few ever go to him with a hard luck story unrewarded for their trouble. He gives large sums to charity. Raymond Hitchcock, the actor, has always essayed alcoholic parts on the stage. This coupled with the fact that there is a whisky huskiness to his voice give the Impression that Hitch cock has for years gone the Broadway pace, burning the candle at both ends. Nothing Is farther from the truth. Hitchcock has never had a drink of Intoxicating liquor in his life. Noc has he ever smoked tobacco. In the old days of banquets where he was In vited to speak he would simulate in toxication to avoid drinks pressed upon him. One of the best delineators of the Hebrew characters is an actor who is believed to be of that faith. He is an Irishman who ifas born in Dublin. When he came to New York his par ents died and he was adopted by a Hebrew family and took their name. Similarly George M. Cohan was for many years believed to be of the Jew ish faith. He is Irish and as he ex pressed it "only speaks enough Yid dish to get around New York.” These are only a few high spots In hundreds of misconceptions of players. A fur salesman goes on the theory that one la born every minute. And New York 1s the most prolific field of endeavor. He had visited Detroit, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Denver and Washington, but his sales were very small in those cities. Quick lunch places keep their clock* from five to seven minutes fast dur Ing lunch hours. It has the effect of preventing customers from lingering over their food. As they can only serve so many patrons, the faster they eat the bigger the receipts. One pro prietor found his receipts increased 20 per cent by turning the clock ahead. ■ I talked the other day with one of those fui salesmen who dresses as a truckman and stands In doorways at dusk with $3 furs, giving the Implica tion they are stolen. He sells them for four or five times their worth. He was graduated from a New York college and began as a clerk In a brokerage office for $18 a week. He was arrested one evening for speeding in hia father's automobile and in the waiting room of a city prison made the acquaintance of a "fur salesman.” When in Omaha Stop at Hotel Rome N N 0 0 w w ih£ bio«.
