.SIKI-NORFOLK MATCH
WOULD BE GOOD ONE

Battling Sikh runs a good chance OF
having his glory amputated when he
meets Kid Norfolk in his American
debut
The Kid, according to Leo Flynn, his
manager, can whip anyone he thinks
he can and Leo says he surely thinks
he can take the Seregalese.
American boxing critics, from what
they have heard from the other side,
figure that any number of American
boxers with a good body attack could
whip Sikh.
When Carpenter broke both his
hands on the Battling ones head and
jaw it does not seem that there is
anything CLASSY about his upper Sec
tions The difference between Ameri-
can and European boxers is well
shown in the case of Carpenter.
If the Frenchman had something be.
side a straight right hand to the jaw
like a good left or hook to the body,
he would not have fallen such an easy
victim before Sikh and he might have
lasted longer against Dempsey.
The European boxers, in spite Of all
| the examples they have seen, have
not yet learned that there are places
more vulnerable to attack than the
button.
Sikh and Norfolk are about evenly
matched as far as size and weight are
concerned and the boxing commission
was finding no soft spot for him when
they ordered him to whip the Kid be
i fore he got after Dempsey or Wills.

BATTLE CONTINUED
BY TOMMY GIBBONS
DESPITE DEATH NOTE
tBy Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Oct. A. - They tell
stories about actors sometimes going
out on the stage after they have re
ceived news of the death of a husband
or wife, reciting their regular lines
and making Indifferent folk feel happy
and laugh. Probably these stories arc
true.
They must be true Anyone of the
crowd that filled Madison Square Gar
den last night and saw Tommy Glib
bons, of st. Paul, lose on a foul to
Billy Miske, his fellow townsmen, in
the tenth round of their bout that was
to go Is rounds probably will believe
so today They looked upon the sort
of courage a fighting man is rarely
called upon to show, but few OF them
knew it then
Gibbons Saw Boy
Only a few of that bowling crowd
saw a uniformed messenger boy
creep up to Gibbons corner during
the eleventh round and cautiously get
ting his signature of receipt first, slip
a yellow envelope into the hand of
Eddie Kane. Gibbons manager. Glib
bons saw 1t, out of the conrer Of his
eye as he slashed and slugged and he
knew.
When Tommy came to his corner at
the end of the seventh round he sank
calmly on his stool and asked Kane,
what does it say?" What does what
say?" countered the manager, his face
flushing. "Oh, all right" answered
Gibbons, "Tbut / know"
The detailed account of the next
round shows that Gibbons rained
rights and lefts to the body and slam
med several teeth out of Miske's
mouth, and that Gibbons rocked
Miske with rights and lefts to the
head" and that they we're exchanging
when the bell rang"
Keeps on Fighting
The remainder Of the details don't
matter much. Tommy kept on slam
ming way fighting cleverly, craftily
feinting his opponent into leads tina
led only to punishment until twis
OF fate in the tenth caused Gibbons
right fist to fall below Miske's belt ant
Miske to fall upon the floor and tht
battle to end.
1t was more than the mere disan
pointment of losing fight that he haC
had virtually salted away for keeps
that came to Tom Gibbons when h
left the ring. Kane showed tn,
crumpled telegram into the boxer
gloved fist. Read it, Tom," he said
Let's hurry and dress. I'm awful!
sorTy-"
"All right" said Gibbons, the two
fisted, battered fighter, tears stream
ing down his sweaty face. 81 know
what you mean"
Father Is Dead
But those who crowded the aren;
and lined the aisle down which thu
loser strode, did not know. They ha'
seen fighters lose on fouls before bu
they had never seen one cry-evel
when he had lost his fighting reputa
ton. They did not know about thu
telegram-had not seen the messenge
boy creep back into the crowd afte
delivering the message that told o
the death of Toms father in St Paul
of father proud of his fighting sons
who had taught them much of tn,
fighting that they knew and taugh
them from his Irish blood.

comply when, to his establishment, a
quarter slid out of the beggar's pants
leg and fell silently in the mud. A
hole in a pocket had given the lie to
his hard luck story.
Humorous Impulse
A humorous impulse came with the
discovery of the fraud. The subject of
the beggar's solicitation placed his
foot over the quarter, then, pretending
to tie his shoe, retrieved it. He
Strengthened, placed his hands in his
pocket, then removing it with the
money still in his palm, handed it to
the beggar.
Sure, I'll give you a quarter; !
guess you deserve it all right"
The mendicant received his own
money with an extravagant disDlay OF
gratitude and backed away, still with
his hat in his hands, as his supposed
benefactors boarded the stree. car
The man on the car then turned with
a word of caution:
