 Mickey Goes Home.
 The middleweights being in terri bly, bad esteem in America, McTigue claimed himself wandering son re- turned home to rebuild the pugilistic prestige of the homeland. That homeland. stuff always gets them in the British Isles. Young Ahern and Ted Kid" Lewis got away with it. and now Freddie Welsh is over there strumming the same chords.
 At this time Bat Siki, having won Carpenters titles, got himself in wrong in France and was begging for any little match. So he was glad to take a fight with McTigue in Dublin on March r, never realizing, probably, that the seventeenth of Erin is Pathrick's Day and no day at all for a negro to fight man named Mickey in Dublin. Fortunate- ly for McTigue, the French boxing federation later restored Sikis li- cense and recognized his right to the titles. So now. by outpointing an unskilled, rope walking, slam bang ing negro, Mickey-himself-M Tigue becomes the light heavyweight champion of all this world.
 We'll, well! Good old Mickey himself. Why, Scranton knew him

CARPENTER SAYS DECISION UNJUST

PARIS, March 1S.-Instead of be- ing cheered by the defeat of Battling Siki in Dublin and Skis loss of his title to Mike McTigue, Georges Car pentier is rather inclined to lament the decision, because he doesn't think McTigue really won.
 T suppose" said Carpenter to a representative of Le Journal, that should be elated by the decision. But l am not As a sportsman I am un- able to comprehend the decision"
 Georges sportsmanship recently asserted itself when he evaded an which fact is recalled with regret by could have given Ski a terrific beat ing in a return bout.
 The press comments here on the Dublin fight are largely pro- -Carpen- tier or Carpenter, almost ig- noring McTigue.
 L'1ntransigeant intimates that Car pentier is still the best light -heavy- weight although he had lost his titles, saying:
 "Siki was an unworthy holder of the title and his performance was mediocre. We cannot say whether McTigue did or did not merit the de- cision."
 I'Auto, the sports paper says the officials of the bout obviously robbed Siki. and Figaro comments that Skis defeat by a second-class fighter shows how lucky was Ski to defeat Carpentier.

Iith Athletics Closes Out
I SIKI BOOM BLOWS OVER AFTER MIKE
 BEATS SENGALESE

PARIS, March 1S.-(By Associated Press.)-Battling Siki's defeat by Mike McTigue in Dublin Saturday night caused much rejoicing among the enemies of the Senegalese fighter
 in Paris, and was received with the keenest of disappointment by his ad- mirers. Shorn of all discussion as to whether or not the referees de- cision was partial, sporting men in. Paris today expressed the opinion that Siki with the advantage of weight and reach, should have dis -' posed of McTigue inside of the 20 round limit. :.
 The defeat of Siki. sporting men declared, will end the SilSi boom, which close. followers of boxing. in
 France assert has been smoked up" with an intensity totally unwarrantcd by the negro's fistie ability. :,
 The general opinion here now seems to be that while Skis victory. over Carpenter was not a fluke, 1t was won over a man who is unable to stand much punishment and who must win his fight within the first three or four rounds. Siki is cred, 'ited as having one redeeming fca@ ture by ring followers---his ability to take punishment. .

NATURAL APTITUD.
By CHICK EVANS


 Some golfers appear to take to the hard struggle to even get started to- ward anything like fair game. Why this difference?
 have always maintained that there is no such thing as a natural aptitude for gole. This view resulted fro.l own experience with golf clubs. was more awkward for me than try ing to hit golf ball with one of the clubs. Being very young, though. at that time l soon picked up the knack of it, as most all caddies do, and presently I was playing a fair game.
 What I did no. realize at the time. however, was that due to natural fondness for the game I was prac- practice that developed my game, not any natural ptitude for golf, I might concede that anyone who, as boy, did a lot of wood chopping and then grew into sports might have some natural aptitude for golf! otherwise there is no aptitude that know of. 4 bag of golf clubs is the lay his his hands to, as all of us can testify. Practice alone develops proficiency with them.

 Practice Necessary.
 Fortunate indeed is the player who is fond c, practice. ie. is most like ly to get ahead the fastest. So few of us can take the time 5way from ourselves to get out alone and really practice, chasing a dozen balls around the course with no thought except for the technique of each particular shot and observing the results from each try. That is the kind of work, however, that really counts. It won titles for me when nothing else ever would have done so. l have always been a consist tent "practicer" and never year goes by that 1 don't try my best, through practice. to make my game all that I can make it prior to im- portant meetings.
 There is. however. another kind of practice and that is the practice of study. I know one golfer who has played but little, having taken up the game only two years ago, but he has been so enthused over it that he studies it constantly, with the result that he is familiar with more differ ent things relating to the playing of the game than perhaps anyone else within my acquaintance.

 This kind of study possesses the golfer of one thing. He knows ex- actly how the different shots should be made even though he can not

SHORT PEGS

PEG SIX
 Mrs. Molla Mallory and Suzanne Longlen have now been tried under e'-ual conditions of ill-health, and Mrs. Mallory has the sporting grit.
 Suzanne funked it at Forest Hills because she had cough.
 Mrc. Mallory went into the Men tone tournament in poor health after two defeats at Monto Carlo and was defeated twice again, but she played through all matches and didn't de- fault a game.
 Winning or losing; theses two fore most women athletes make little of the pretense that men make. All athletes hate to lose and like to win, but the thing to do is pretend the pretty. and you like it.
 After Forest Hills, Suzanne re- turned to France complaining about the height of out huts. the depth of our manners and full inventory of other American faults.
 After Wimbledon, Mrs. Mallory re- turned to New York blaming her de- feat on the press for some reason. The press never was closer to aboli- tion than at that moment.
 After Suzanne's defeat, Mrs. Mall lory didn't make overmuch fuss about the French lady's comfort.
 After Mrs. Mallory's defeat at Monte Carlo, Mile. Lenglen said: T told you so.''
 Mile. Lenglen is the greatest of women players. with clearly per ceptible margin over Mrs. Mallory, the next greatest. Mrs. Mallory's re- cent slump probably is only a slump as she is yet young woman and the women stars of te s shine on even after reaching definite matur- ity.

The world seems ahead oi young Claude Wilson-not the world. gen erally speaking. but that portion the young Magic City boy fighter is in- terested In, the boxing game. Claude's | advancement in the ring game has | been rapid; in fact. some or the wise ones have hinted that he has been rushed along too rapidly.
 Be that as it may. the fact remains that Wilson mas made good up east, the mecca of all top-notch wielders of the upholstered fists. Claude is said to be one of the greatest favor ties to ever appear in ring at Pat terson, N. J., where many a cham pionship contender has been trained.
 In a recent issue of New York daily. an account was printed of Wilson's fight with Lew Hurley. That paper, in giving it's decision-news paper decisions are quite the thing in Jersey rings now-stated that Wilson fought a great battle against almost overwhelming odds to secure draw with Hurley. Quite bit of space was given to the bout, and any eastern scrapper who is favored above the others by Gotham scribes counts himself lucky these days. l Wilson will remain in Birmingham a week or ten days, then drift on back to Patterson. where he has | bouts pending.
 Tommy TOmpl1ins, Wilson's be- | 1reckied manager, returned to | the Magic City with his charge the latter part of last week.
 Tommy let us In on few match- ings Claude has in advance. One
 of them comes on April 5 nt Pass
 saic. N. d., with Frankie Fasana,
 over whom Wilson recently won on foul. That bout ended un-
 enthusiastically. so the return en-
 EaEement was booked. Then, on
 April a. comes Wilson's most im- portant booking, his bout with Jack Sharkey, the tOp-nOtcher, at Patterson, on April :3. Jack Sharkey Is at present fighting
 overscas, and the Wilson bout
 will be one of his first after re-
 turning to the United States.
 Tt is peculiar to me- asserted Tommy Tompkins a day or so ago, how that kid of mine (Wilson) can fight in such whirlwind fashion up east and fails to show his real class in his own home town. Why. against some of those boys he has met-and all of whom are considered right up around the top division, Claude has shown championship calibre. He steps in and battles 1t out with all of 'em, and doesn't forget to use his noodle. either He boxes as we'll as battles. and it's funny to me why he hasn't done that down here."
 Claude was asked about it. and here's what he said, with that typical | Claude Wilson smile:
 "Why, I don't know anybody LID there, that is, l know only the fel- lows around the gymnasiums and some of Tommy's old friends. l have l nothing whatever to do, so pay more attention to my training. Pm on the road every day and spend quite time in the gym shadow box ing and working out with the boys,
 T get to see more real fighters in action, and, /aally conditions are bet ter for getting in shape. Anyway. the cold, crisp air just seems to put more life and pepper in fellow.''
 Wilson meets Tim O'Dowd of At lanta in a return bout at the B. A. C. week from Monday night, and Claudio vows he will even up inc score withthis old rival.

AMERICA KNEW MICKEY DURING HIS DAYS OF
 "HAM DECO" BOXING

NEW YORK, March 1S.-So Mickey McTigue is world champion. true heir to the title worn with such effete grandeur and lost with such spanked baby sportsmanship by Georges Carpenter, the orchid who bloomed among the cau1iflowers
 -hmself-McTigue. We'll. well. Down in Scranton and around about the United States where the people still permit middleweights to put up their hands, they knew him when-Well, for instance, they knew him when he was whipped by the second-rate' Young Fisher of Syracuse and by the ageing Jeff roamed this wide world over plying his knuckles for all they are worth and whatever more he could get.
 Yes, America knew him when
 America knows him as a pugilis- tic mechanic. He's a journeyman prize-fighter steady, competent, ever-plugging but never flashing He knows his pugilism. as a chauf- feur knows the innards of flivver. To start a flivver you step on the starter, whirl the boilers bit and then let the engine take hold. In pugilism, to avert left lead, you move your head slightly, and step in
 
 lead at the other man you keep go- ing and throw yourself upon his shoulders, wrapping your arms about him and pinning his gloves That's a clinch. He cant hurt you if you have been taught to clinch, which is one of the essential things to learn if you want to be prize fighter. After a while, the referee breaks you away. Then you do something else. A Blueprint Boxer.
 Once you have learned your trade as well as Mike McTigue learned it.. you go about the country and make three times month than you could have made in another trade work ing eight hours a day for year. He is a skilled laborer. but has no imagination. They gave him plue- print when he was learning the by as much as short right hook in his hundred-andsom fights. all of which were very much alike in method and lack of interest.
 Mickey-himself-w born in County Clare. according to the rec ord book, which probably got it's data from Mickey on one of his Irish days, he being a man of versatile na- tionality who might be French flash today and a champion of Scan dinavia tomorrow. He noticed one day that there was no middleweight champion of Canada. so he held an election. There were two voters, Mickey-himself-a his manager. named Joe Jacobs. McTigue was elected Canadian champion without a dissenting vote. After this great victory at the polls, Mickey got him self many matches, and it must be said for him that he fought them all. including Harry Greb, and showed 90 little fear of colored boxers. that he
