promoter can see enough gate In a fight of this sort just now to offer much money.
 Has No "Pep' Yet
 As for Skis getting away with some of the American fighters named above. this may be regarded as ques- tionable. For instance, Sikl fought Paul Journee som emonths ago and, while the negro got the decision. Paul stuck Is rounds and walloped his rival good and plenty. Yet Charles Wfnert, who is only a fair heavyweight. put Journee away in jig time in Brooklyn when he was over here as Carpenters sparring partner.
 In fact in all the fights Siki has had nothing happened to prove that he has smashin gfist until he ham mered Carp to the floor. So all in all, the American promoters are alto gether fed up on Ski and, while they would make 1t interesting financially were he to como here. they won't strip their bank rolls to pay him for his services.
 Ffrpo Looks Good
 The best heavyweight prospect. in terms of championship contender. is Luis Firpo. who fights Jim Tracy, the Australian, in South America early next month. Of course, this Tracy business Is a joke. Tracy is not likely to have chance with the Argentine Italian. The chief pur- pose of the bout will be to make a lot of money for Firpo. some money for training, and the South Amer ican's carousing under mingled doses of patriotism and sporting enthusi- asm.
 Just the same, Firpo looks good and when he comes here this winter and proves himself against two or three good second raters, his chance at the worlds title will come.

Wrong Baby Given Her
BY Hospital, Mother Says
Hers Was Boy and She Drew a
Girl, Jersey Woman, Who
Will Sue, Complains

Mrs. Bertha Rich, of 52 Dwight
Street, Jersey City. became the mother
of chubby little boy at the Bergen
Sanatorium, in Jersey City, August II.
A week later when she was prepared
to return to her home she was handed
n tiny girl baby and told it was hers.
Yesterday she hired lawyer to force
the institution to find her own child,
besides directing him to bring suit
against the hospital.
The hospital authorities deny the
charges. DR.. Peter Maras, ono of the
officers Of the sanatorium, declared yes
terday that such mistake would have
been an utter impossibility. He said
that even if the institution housed
hundreds Of infants such nixup
would be highly improbable. He added
that Mrs. Rich's baby was born pre-
naturely and weighed but three
pounds.
1t was claimed by physicians at the
hospital that the mother was suffering
from delusion. They claim she an
ticipated having boy, which led her
to believe that her child was boy.
When the child was born, they say,
nurses did not deny it' when the mother
declared that she was $50 happy be-
cause aer baby was a boy"
However, Mrs. Rich has obtained the
services Of Charles E. S. Simpson, who
is preparing to bring legal Actlon
against the owners and authorities OF
the institution.

the Presidents of Nicaragua, Honduras
and Salvador signed treaty in which
the three republics renew and extend
the general treaty of peace and friend
ship made in Washington in 1907, the
validity of which had until now been
open to wide divergence.
Added significance was given to the
event by the presence of the American
ministers, which, with the ceremony
aboard an American warship, was con-
sidered as a manifestation of the great
interest and friendship the United
States has in the welfare CT rhe Cen.
tral American republics.
The sig, lg of the treaty followed
discussions aboard the Tacoma through
Saturday and Sunday. 1t is to remain
in force, in so far as it affects rela-
tions between the republics, until it is
revised. The Presidents promise they
will not permit political emigrants Of
any one of the republics to organize+or
foment armed invasion against any of
the repuDllcs or to tolerate any act
which will disturb or threaten peace.

frontiers and vigorously enforce the
former agreement made at Washing
ton.
1t is also provided that leaders Of
agitation, political emigrants Or their
agents will not be permitted to reside
near frontiers. Such leaders now re-
siding near frontiers will be. placed
under immediate surveillance sand re-
moved if thought necessary. In case
of invasions the government in whose
territory it was organized is obligated
to send forces to capture and disarm
the guilty parties, who will, be concen-
trated at the capital of the government
and punished in accordance with law.
The Presidents are also obligated to
expel guilty leaders of an invasion.
The Presidents also agree TO call a
conference to discuss economic mat
ters, closer commercial relations, free
exchange of products and the unifica-
ton of money, customs tariffs and
ways of communication which may

cues Aged Man From
Smoke-Filled Tenement;
$4,000 Loss i'm Garage

Patrolman James Gerien, of Newark,
went off duty early yesterday morning
with sigh of relief. His beat Is a
long one, and Patrolman Gerien was
tired. Bed looked awful good to him.
His route home took him past q
garage at 500 Bergen Street. There
was smoke coming from the building,
and Patrolman Gerien turned in an
alarm. Then he devoted himself to
getting the folks out of 796 and SU.
Bergen Street, adjoining the gatas. e
on either side. There were seventes N
assorted families in the two hoeia es
Gerien awakened them all, conveyed
the women and children to the str aet
quieted sthe hysterical and salvaged
overcoats and blankets for the. several
individuals who were exposed to- the
night air and the interested gaze of
the gathering crowd with nothing on
but their sleeping clothes.
On the top floor of 796 Gerien found
John Sand, seventy years old, in bed.
The old man was badly scared. Gerienl
pASheu MIN up, ana carried MIN TO the
street. Sand was in his nightshirt,
and the patrolnaan began scouting
expedition for clothing with which 70,
cover his shivering limbs, for the early
morning air was chill.
Returning from his foray, Geriep
found Sand missing. Somebody s;lid
the old man had gone back into the
burning house TO get pair of
trousers. The patrolman plunged after
him, and found him half way up the
stairs battling with the drifting smoke
clouds. The house was on fire by this
time, and passage next to impossible.
There was quite scuffie before
Gerien took Sand out for the second
time, and persuaded him to ACCEPT an
overcoat as substitute for the miss,
ing trousers. Then the patro imam
went to the rear of the garage and took
twelve families otu of the ten emant
house, which backed up against the
burning building. After that he went
back and did odd jobs aroundg, the
fire until it was under control.
The heat melted trolley and tele-
phone wires, and the loose ends lay
around the ground One of Gerien's
jobs was guarding unwary spectators
from contact with the charged wires.
He stayed around until daylight. The
fire damare was $4,000.
