SIKH KEEPS HIS TITLE,
AUTHORITIES DECLARE

PARIS. March 19.-No worlds
championship was involved in
the Siki-McTigue fight at Dublin
last Saturday night. according to
Albert Bourdariat. vice president Of
the French Boxing Federation, in a
statement to L'Auto.
In the first place, the orlcIal said,
the rules require that the adversary
OF a champion must challenge for
maIiy, which McTigue never did. Sec,
onoiy, the referee must be appointed
by the International Boxing Union.
rms condition was also unfulfilled.
NJ Bourdariat concluded that Ski
may have been beaten by McTigue
put that he cannot lose his title OF
light heavyweight champion because
the hight was not for the title.
LONDON, March 19.-The boxing
experts Of Sporting Life and the
Sportsman say Battling" Skis title
of light heavyweight champion Of
the world was not affected by Satur-
day nights fight in Dublin because
SKI did not weigh in.
Sporting Life asserts that the con-
tract did not specify that Sikh must
weigh in, and that he fought al
catch weights and consequently stIll
holds his title.
The Sportsman says apparently
neither combatant got on the scales
before the battle.

which the experts declared to be hu-

championship at Merton the promise
has become a fact, until today he
stands at the very peak of the golfing
world-a player without a peer in
either amateur or professional ranks.
Last year at Brookline, where the
amateur championship was PLAYED.
there appeared the beginning of a
new American amateur trtumvirate,
golfers who may herald a new reign

dtmmed by the winning of many
championships. They are led by Jess
Sweetser of New York and Yale. anna
teur champion of the United States,
and include Jones and Rudy Knepper,
the real sensation of the Brookline
classic.
Many Young golfers are near this
trio in ability and skill. but few
have yet reached the range any one
of these three is capa bic of. Sweetser
demonstrated his ability beyond ques
ton during his campaign last year.
Jones has proved his right to a front
rank over the last six seasons, in
both amateur and open play. knep
per, on the other hand. while he has
won many events in the west. never
had before figured extensively in the
national golf news. Last year Knep-
per turned back two of the finest
golfers OF the British team. He over
threw the largest threat 10 American
supremacy in amateur golf when he
laid mdirou shot alongside the pin

All Three In Semi-Ftnals.
Knepper. Jones and Sweetser were
semi finalists. the other being Evans

even now a golfer who probably Will

Sweetser beat Jones by and Z. while
Evans was trimming Knepper by 10

battle OF youth and experience. That

There is a new club in town, but no
one knows who belongs to it yet - IT
is styled the Greek-American Athletic
Club and any one seeking admission

up to its constitution and bylaws

The annual club trials of the Ma

be held at Bradley Hills on April IL,
and II is understood that good entry
will be seen. This meet is open to
members only. and is for puppies,
which will be judged largely on their
natural qualities and promise, and
not strictly on bird finding and han
ding. as is the case with all-age dogs
Two out-of-town judges have been
asked to ,officiate. but as they have
not yet filed their acceptances the
names cannot be given at this time.
A large shipment of quail has just
been received and will be planted just
before the running OF the trials. 1t
is understood that the birds were not
ordered especially for this event, but
for breeding, so that the courses will
ho well stocked at the time or the
big fall trials.

fanciers, including the city's most
prominent breeders and kennel own
ers. have filed their entries. and some
of the best local show dogs are sure to
be seen at this show.
Immediately following the Rich
mond show will come the fifth annual
show of the Pinehurst Kennel Club
at Pinehurst, n. c., always noted for
its liberal cash prizes and for Its
handsome silver trophies. Harry D
Kirkover, the president of the Pine

enthusiast. and has seemed to favor
the field dogs in the placement OF
prizes. there being class prizes as
high as $40 for pointers and English
settlers.

a bas-

- sive matter. For this reason
players should have the best. A
good ball should be the rule for
practice. Some teams are total
strangers to a good ball, except dur
ing games. Many of the leagues
have a rule which calls for good
ball for every game. Ii you cannot
afford this the next best thing is to
take good care of the balls you can
afford
A ball will last twice as long if
Debated after each game or practice
and pumped up in time for the next.
Soiled basket balls can be cleaned
to look like new if washed with
saddle soap once a week. Balls
used for practice must be sound and
tightly inflated. Otherwise, when
you get into a game with new and
tightly inflated bali you will not be
able to handle it.

Linemen Use Back Of Hand.

Observation Of linernen working on
broken trolley wires or other wires
charged with electric current show
that the experienced man never
touches a wire with the palm of his
hand. In making a personal test to
determine whether the wire is dead or
alive he invariably uses the back of
his hand.
Touch a live wire with the inner
part of the hand" explained the old
timer, land you viii find that the cur
rent will cause a contraction Of the
muscles which is more than likely to
force the hand to close tightly on the
wire. When this happens it is impos-
sible for you to let go and serious
shock, with possible death. results.

ton of the muscles draws the fingers

ship of every county in the State
within one year" said E. P. Cohill,
president of the Federation, who pre-
sided at the meeting. Our purpose
is to get farmers into a cooperative
system of marketing, to work for bet
ter grading and packing of farm prod
ucts and for the general benefit of the
farming industry.
1.-THE experience Of the Federation
in other States has resulted in the
upbuilding of industries, banks, towns
and cities. We hope to do this sort
of thing here in Maryland, and to help
the farmer as much as possible"
Mr.. Cohill said that the Federation
proposes to use the established
agencies of distribution wherever they
are competent, and that principal eff
fort will be devoted to the instruction
Of farmers in preparing their crops for
marketing and to assist them in the
marketing.
Membership Of the executive COM

dent, E. P. Cohill; vice-president, Ed

and the establishment of permanent
headquarters will be matter of early

the various departments of the work
and his duties probably will include
