While American promoters are
spending all of their time hurling
offers in their frenzied effort to out
bid each other for the services OF
Battling sikh, the Senegalese of
deepest ebony hue from darkest
Africa. the king pins of two divi-
sions OF pugilism are blding their
time waiting to grab the financial
plum that win be plucked by the one
fortunate enough TO get the fret
crack at the man who knocked out

Strange as II may seem, there are
a dozen fighters in shis country who
are begging for a chance 10 enter.

meied Georges so severely that he
remained In a darkened room for
week before his physicians would al
low him 20 come out. They do not
seem TO think the Sencgaiese IL
more than a second rater and that
Inny man of ordinary boxing skin and
craftinCss can heat him. There are
four in this country who stand fore
most as opponents for the African
on his first appearance here. They
are Jack Dempsey, Harry wills,
Billy Miske and Harry Greb.

picked off a dlshwasher, who is be-
lleved TO be a st. Louie negro who

Test for Rosenberg.
While the boxing public is inter-
iested in the movements Of the AZ
rican boxing freak, boxers Nof this
country are keeping busy, although
the champions still are on the idle
list, due TO the fact that Benny Leon
ard, through an injury. was forced
10 call off his fight with Charley
White which was scheduled for New
York Tuesday.
Chief interest In this weeks card
'centers in the O'Dowd- Rosenberg

York. They were matched a short
time ago and the boxing commits
sion refused 10 permit O'Dowd 10
enter the ring with the commissions

was given time 20 train and prove
that he is match for Rosenberg.
Thus the contest is again booked for
