KID NORFOLK
WILL TAKE ON
BATTLING SKI
Baltimore Black Will Take the
sensgaIese Over Hurdles
When He Comes Here.
By DAMON RUNYON.

TT would appear that Battling
Sikh, the leaping Senegalese, is
- booked for a visit to America
after all.
Tex Richards nimble press de-
pertinent issued q statement last
night to the effect that Silks
manager has accepted terms with
Tex, and that the promoter ex-
poets to bring him over around
the first Of November.
Personally, we do not believe that
visit from Sikh will enhance the
ancient and honorable pastime Of
resin-sniffing in this country. unless
the Senegalese leaves his habits and
his household at home; but Tex
might drop him in here between
beats and not do irreparable harm.
II is our opinion that Sikh IL a
pugtlistic Joe Magee, and that one
appearance would settle him over
here. However. the publicity he re-
ceived may make him a one-time
drawing card.
Tex's press department says no
opponent has been selected yet for
Sikh, but we understand that 1t will
probably be our friend Kid Norfolk,
the bouncing Baltimorean, once more
the colored light heavyweight cham
pion Of America.
Norfolk got his old title. such as
1t is. back from Lee Anderson not
long ago by taking a Boston de.
cision over Lee. The latter gashed
the Kids eye down In Arizona quite
q spell back, and the Kid had to
quit striving. Now he is even UP
with Lee once more.
Norfolk couldn't beat Harry wills,
but he is apt to beat any strange
colored folks that come pesticatin'
around him. The trouble with him
when he met Wills was that he
knew Harry too well. He knew that
Harry was a big, strong feller, and
the Kid was quite a little worried
when he entered the ring.
They say Sikh has a peculiar
style, but we are willing to bet that
II Is no more peculiar than Nor
folks. We are willing to bet that
the Senegalese cannot bound any
higher than Leo p. F1ynn's Little
Black Thunderbolt" when the bound
ing gets good.
II Sikh can stop Norfolk we win
freely admit that we are all wrong
in our judgment of SIKH, which 10

KNOCKOUT OF

BIG SURPRISE
Jack Figures That Georges
Held Sikh Too cheapIy and
Might DO Better.
BY JACK DEMPSEY.


Hesvy$sisht Champlea Of the werld.
TT sure was q surprise in fistic
circles when Georges Car
pentier was Knocked out In
the sixth round by Battling Sikh.
1t surprised me as we'll as many
other Americans that Georges
made such q poor showing against
the black man as the cabled &C.
counts describe.
Perhaps Georges, held this man
too cheaply, and may give q better
account of himself II he meets his
conqueror again. But II they clash
again, Sikh will have more conf
dence In his ability, while Gserges
will have that mental dread that
he Is facing a man who had knock
ed him out You know Georges has
the temperament characteristic Of
the French.
A Wicked Kick"
1t was a surprise to me that his
blows, which, according to the ac.
counts, landed so often on the black
man failed to jar Sikh. Georges
packs wicked "kick." and some Of
his strength may have been sapped
In training too finely for the bout.
/. However, very few fighters come
back and score over the man who
has given them the knockout. My
only recollection Of q top-notcher In
the fighting, class doing this was
the late Stanley Ketchel. He lost
the rf1iddleweight championship
when he was put to sleep by Billy
Phpke, but Stanley came back and
laced II into his conaueror. He did
what Corbett. Fitzsimmons and
many other former champions failed
to do.
Battling Nelson defeated Joe Gahs
after the latter had won on foul
from him In their Goidfieid encoun.
ter. But the Battler wasn't knock
ed out, and Cans at their next meet.
days Of his prime.
Perhaps there 10 something to
Carpentier's claim that Sikh did not
fight fair. The referee sided with
the claim Of Georges handlers. but
the Judges decreed otherwise. The
next meeting of the two will show
whittier there was anything to sub
stantiate Carpenters claim.
Must Prove His Worth.
Post.mortems, however, do not
win fights. It viii be UP to Georges
TO show that he is the better man
when he next meets the battler.
Reports from the other side that
ski spent most Of his time In cafes
while training for the fight must be
taken with a grain OF salt. NO
fighter could train on "cabarets" ana
lick Carpenter. Perhaps these re-
ports were put out to take the other
fellow off his guard. Certainly sikh
gave q good account Of himself IN
the ring, and his showing was q sur.
prise to the thousands Of admirers
of the French idol.
They are fsting Sikh now--making
q hero Of him. My advice to him Ii
to keep his head about him all the
time. II is the easiest thing in the
world for q fighter to lose his fight.
ing form through hitting the high
life. Sikh ought to take q warning
from Jack johnson. The big black,
after he became champion, went the
pace, and he lost his honors when he
met a real rugged man In the ring.
Sikh will now be in demand in this
country. Sikh has been offered
good sized purse to come over here.
Every one will want to see the man
who conquered the French idol. Sikh

- Wesleyan College football
squad will start Monday to get
ready for the first home game
Wesleyan has had since 1920
when Grove City invaded the
Methodist grid field. The Davis
and Elkins College eleven Of
Elkins will meet Wesleyan at
Buckhannon next Saturday.
Considerable history centers around
Buckhannon and Elkins football
meetings. Years ago before either
Davis-Elkins or Wesleyan grid teams
were well established In State col.
legiate matters. Independent teams
representing both Elkins and Buck.
hannon flourished. Buckhannon
would play at Elkins and Elkins at
Buckhannon, and the stories con.
eerning these ancient meetings are
full Of mountaineer battles Of all
kinds. II seems that the football
played little part in the games
played.
Met for First Time.
In 1907 Davis. .Elkins and WESLEYAN n
met for the first time. Wesleyan
won this contest, I to o. On October

Wesleyan trimmed Bethany rs TO o,

ample revenge last season.
wesleyan's biggest score against

Wesleyan had rolled up the one.

However, athletics at Davis-Elk!ns

It is understood in West Virginia

Very little has been heard from
