BATTLING SKI GETS
OFFERS FOR MATCHES
WITH U. S. OPPONENTS

NEW YORK, Sept 26.-Battling
Sikh, the Senegalese boxer, who has
risen to sudden pugilistic fame by his
knockout of Georges Carpenter, was
besieged today by offers from New
York fight promoters for bouts with
American opponents here. His man
ager, M. Hellers, has at least three
propositions under consideration.
Tex Richard after receiving a cable
gram from Hellers expressing willing
ness to bring Sikh to this country after
January /, cabled an offer to match the
Senegalese with any prominent light
heavyweight, including Harry Greb
the American title-holder; Gene Tun
ney, former champion, or Tom Glib
bons, st. Paul boxer. Richard, how
ever, said he had made no financial
proposition to Sikh and would rot do
so pending a reply.
Additional Offer
In addition Dave Driscoll, match.
maker for Ebbets field, has cabled an
offer of 100000 for Sikh to box Harry
Wills. negro challenger for Jack Demp
sey's heavyweight title, on October /:
and Thomas F. O'Rourke, matchmaker
III the IlGpuDllI a. y. HAS put III =
bid of $4,000 for contest with
either Wills or Greb, preferably the
latter, some time in October at thf
Polo grounds.
Meanwhile the only indication o.
Skis attitude toward any of these
offers was contained in cable dis
patches quoting his manager as re
jecting O'Rourke's terms and demand
ing 100000 francs, or $4,000 at tht
current rate of exchange, for tbs
Africans end of the purse.
The agreed opinion in boxing cir
cles was that if the Senegalese agree;
| to box in this country, it will be
| against an opponent in the Lightweight
heavy class. Wills, weighing around
| 20 pounds, it was pointed out, would
have an unusual advantage over thu
| TIA pound Sikh should they be matched

.HORNSBY MAY GRAB
ADDITIONAL LAURELS
tBy Associated Press,

NEW YORK, Sept 26.-Besides the
probability that he will succeed Babe
Ruth as this years home run king,
Rogers Hornsby, brilliant second sack
er of the St. Louis Cardinals, has an
excellent chance of grabbing addition
al laurels by being the first National
league batsman in % years to finish
the season with an average OF 400 or
better
Hornsby's unofficial mark today was
.401 and at the clip he has been hit
ting of late the Cardinal star should
have little difficulty in maintaining or
improving this mark in the few re-
naming games on the schedule. His
log today showed 13S runs and 242 hits
for 149 games.
Ed Delehanty of the old Philadel-
phia club was the last National Lacquer
to wind up the season with an average
over 400. His figure was .408 in 1899
Prior to. that the select circle of 400
khitters included Willie Keller, Adrain
c. (Pop) Arson, Jesse Burkett, Hugh
Duffy and Ross Barnes.
Americans Three.
Since its start in 1900, the American
league has produced three 400 hitters
Nap Lajoie, Ty Cobb and George Sis
Ter. Cobb reached the coveted mark
in 1911, and 1916 while Sisler is likely
to improve by considerable margin
this year, his figure of 407 made in
| 1920.
In the race for circuit clouting hon
ors, Hornsby with AZ to his credit, ha:
a lead of three over his nearest rival
Kenneth Williams, of the St. Loui:
Browns, while Ruth. unable to over
come the handicap of a delayed start
has "a, with but four more games il
which to boost his total.

REDS DOWN PHILLIES
BY RIYEY'S HURLING;
CLIMBING HIGHER UP

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 26.-Second
place doomed into the distance for the
Cincinnati Redlegs as they went along
for another victory over the Phillies,
10 to 3, behind the superb hurting OF
Eppa Rixey, supported by the smuggling
of Jake Daubert.
The Cinci club is now tied with st.
Louis for third place, by virtue of the
defeat OF the Cardinals and the win by
the Reds. Sixteen hits for total OF
% bases was the record of the Moran
outfit in the matinee performance.
Although the Phillies scored one
tally in each of the first three rounds,
they were soon quelled by Rixey, who
put up a remarkable exhibition for the
remaining seven innings.
Daubert Drives Hard.
Jake Daubert started the lively fire
works in the first inning with home
run over the right center field fence,
putting Burns in ahead of him. Sam
Bohne sent the Phillies to the front
in the third inning, after the Ph1ll1es
had scored two in the first two rounds,
Bohne fumbled Parkinson's grounded
which should have gone for double
play He then threw wild to second
base, allowing Walker to reach third
Lee grounded to Fonseca, forcing
Parkinson at second, but Sammy's re
lay to first was too wide for double
play, and Walker scored from third.
Rixey Hurls SuperbIy.
From then on, Rixey held the Quak
ers and the Reds went to the front In
the fourth with four runs and one
more in the seventh for their total Of
10. Their final game of the eastern
invasion was scheduled for Tuesday
with the Phillies, then they were tt
move on to Pittsburgh to try for second
place in their two-game series with the
Pirates.

RELY ON PAT HERON
Especial to The Palladium

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Sept. 90
Will Pat Heron, new head coach at
Indiana university taking the place
this season of Jumbo Stiehm, make his
mark in the Big Ten western confer
ence?
Football fans not only in Indiana
but from east to west will turn their
eyes on Indianapolis, October IA, when
Indiana meets Minnesota, for the ans
wer to this question In this game
Heron will make his debut as a Big
Ten coach and that he will make an
aggressive entry is indicated from
the hard ticks he is putting in daily
on the Indiana eleven.
He has had four squads working out
on Jordan field during the past week,
blocking, tackling, punting, falling on
the ball, charging, flying at the dunn
mics, and racing up and down the
| field in signal drill. Among them are
| twelve veterans from last season, TWEEN
! ty-odd promising candidates from last
years freshman team, and about thirty
other candidates of varying degrees OF
experience. Heron is watching every
man on the field for evidence of abil
! ity.
Has to Build Eleven
Il come to you with my mind a
blank as to your individual playing
qualities" he told his candidates or
the opening day of practice. "The
team will have to be built from the ma
terial I see on the field and not from
what l hear of this man or that man
The thing that will secure a players
position will be the work he does.
/ have always found hard work and will
ingness to work the secret of the sue
cess of any player"
Heron is young and enthusiastic
and never wastes a moment on the
field. He has made a wonderful i'm
preston not only on the Indiana team
but with. the student body and alumni
who have watched his work. Football
spirit has never been better at Indi
ana and followers of the cream anC
crimson are looking forward with con
fidence to the Minnesota game at In
dianapolis. when Heron will get hi
baptism of fire.
