NEW ENGLAND LEAGUE
REVIVAL is ABANDONED

LAWRENCE. Mass, March IT,
The proposal to revive the New
England Baseball League has been
abandoned for this year.
This announcement was made to-
day by Stephen d. Flanagan, of
this city, who was the prime NOV
err in the negotiations for an eight
club Circuit. The strength OF twi-
light baseball organizations, lack of
grounds in some cities and local
conditions in others, combined to de-
tract from probable success, it was
understood.
Flanagan indicated that steps
would be taken looking to league
organization for the season Of 1924.

II Sikh has any imagination
whatever he is going to be de-
cidedIy nervous when he enters
the ring. He may be so badly
frightened that he will not be
able to fight at all. Even if he
performs at his best, he Ioes not
figure to beat such an experienced
hand as McTigue, who is q good
boxer and a fair hitter.
All signs point to new world
champion in the light heavyweight
division as a result Of this bout.
The threats Sikh has received, his
peculiar methods of training and
the fact that barring the Car.
pentier affair he has never shown
anything worth while in the ring.
all indicate that Sikh will lose the
title.
, McTigue did not attract q
great deal of attention over
here, and he was not q good
drawing card.
He boxed Panama Joe Cans in
the semi-final to the 6ohnny VIII.
SON. bryan Downey affair, over in
Boyles Thirty Acres that was such
a severe financial frost. Mike did
not attract many persons to the big
arena that day.
McTieue's match with jeff Smith
in the Garden was another financial
bloomer. 1t Is evident that the fans
do not appreciate Mike, although
he has a record that stamps him as
high class fighter as middle
weights go at the present time. He
beat Panama Cans and he beat
Smith. and he also beat Harry Greb.
McTigue stopped Silent Martin,
one OF the iron men of the ring.
He also knocked out Gene Bros
seau. a Canadian, who was going
great guns. George Robinson,
rugged negro, who had defeated
Johnny Wilson. fell before Mikes
fists in four rounds. Sailor Pc.
troskey. Jake Bloomfield, Jack Nc
Carron and Battling Levinsky are
other good men he has defeated.
Although some OF McTigue's
bouts seemed to indicate that he
was Of championship caIiber, he
did not loom up SO brightly in
others.
He is inclined to be overcareful.
This is his worst fault but it is not
as serious as If he were too rash.
Mike is not exactly a marvel, but it
will take a good man to beat him.
If Sikh wins under the conditions
surrounding this affair. Nhe black
will be a wonder and no mistake.
If McTigue should return here
with the world title in his posses.
sion he would make the fourth of
quartet composed Of Tunney, Glib
hons and Greb. McTigue has
shaded Greb and probably could re.
peat now that the Pittsburgher is
beginning to slide bit, but it is
not likely that he could beat either
Tunney or Gibbons.
