IOFFER OF S75O,OOO | DENIED BY KEARNS
Denpsey's Manager Brands as
 False an Argentina Report

New York March 16.--Jack Kearns yesterday emphaticaly denied that he had received any definite offer of $750,00 for bout between Jack Dempsey and Luis Angel Firpo to be held in Argentina in November for the worlds heavyweight champion ship. He also branded as false the story which emanated from Los An- geles that Dempsey had received such an offer.
 T talked with Dempsey on the long, distance telephone today said Kearns, "and he knows nothing of any such offer. It is true that I am considering proposition to take Dempsey to South America to fight Firpo, but nothing definite has been accomplished. The proposition is purely tentative and no such figure as $750,000 has been mentioned at any time. Dempsey is willing to fight Firpo, Wills or any one else anywhere in the world and he de- mands no such terms as a half mill lion dollars.
 "The public has been given the impression that Dempsey wants the Mint to box. This is absolutely false. Dempsey is willing to fight anyone, any time, and place. and all that he demands is that he be given a fair percentage of the gate re- ceipts. ....
 Dempsey Wants Action.
 What we want is action. Demp- sey is boxer by profession, and he wants to work at it. It is up to the promoters to dig up an opponent for him. I have nothing definite in view at this time, but do wish that some promoter would get busy.'
 Tex Rickard yesterday announced that Firpo is under contract to him to box for no other promoter for a year. T have arranged to match Firpo with some good heavyweight to box at the Yankee Stadium on May 12," Rickard said. That is the same date that Jess Willard and Floyd Johnson are to box there. | Firpo will appear in another b. round bout. I do not know what heavyweight can get to fight Firpo but I will select the best man avail able"
 Rickard said that Sam Langford i has been engaged to work out with Firpo and teach the big South Amer ican some of the finer points of the game.
 Purse Called Ridiculous.
 Jose W. Agusti. who promoted the Firpo- Tracey bout in Buenos Aires last October, is now in this city on personal business. Yesterday he | branded as ridiculous the report of the $750, 900 offer to Dempsey.
 "The people in Argentina are en- but do not believe that they are sufficiently so to pay that much money to see even a worlds championship bout" he said.
 It was learned here yesterday that Captain Bob Roper, who is now in Roanoke. Va, has authorized Cap tain Mabbutt of Camp Eustis. Va, to offer Firpo s25,000 to box Roper 15 rounds to decision on July 4.

|SIKI NOW FAVORED
 ID DEFEAT M'TIGUE.
Seneealese Heavyweight Makes
 Impression in Public Workouts

Dublin, March 16.-Mike MeTigue and Battling Ski are said to be in splendid condition for their bout at the Scala theater on Saturday, st. Patrick's day. The fighters have been giving sparring exhibitions on alter nate days to large crowds in the Ro- tunda this week.
 The impression is that Ski has been more effective in lis work, and the betting, which had favored McTigue, now has turned in favor of Siki. There are some, however, who believe that McTigue has not extended himself in his workouts.
 The weights at which the men will enter the ring are not known, but 1t is presumed Siki wil have an advantage of about ten pounds. Many fight fans and boxers have arrived in Dublin to witness the bout, among them Frank Moran, Bombardier Wells and Jim Coffey, the Dublin giant. These three men have expressed the opinion that McTigue will be returned the winner. Georges Carpenter, from whom Siki won the light heavyweight champion ship, and his manager, Francois Descamps, will arrive here tomorrow.
 Carp-Siki Date Set
 Paris, March 16.--The French Box ing federation announced last evening that a fight between Georges Carpen- tier and Battling" Ski has been def- nitely arranged for the afternoon of Sept. 16 in the Buffalo Stadium here.
 Francois Descamps has acknowl- edged acceptance of the date in the name of Carpentier and Ski, who was informed by telegraph of the arrange ments, has sent his acceptance through his manager from Dublin.
 Acts Like Wild Man.
 Hoboken, N. J., March 16.-All tG wild men who ever came from Bornv are as tame as domestic house cats compared to Battling Siki the Sene- ! gal warrior, who slammed Georges Carpentier from his world light l heavyweight seat, according to the crew of the President Adams, Of which Ski recently rode from Cher bourg to Queenstown.
 Ski's manager booked passage for ms llldI Oll tHc ollip sO iHot iiS SouiN get to Ireland to train for his match with Mike McTigue on St. Patrick's Day. The battler disappeared four days before the ship sailed. His wife, a Dutch woman, didn't know where he was. Finally they found him in a Paris apartment.
 He had been getting down to weight by drinking strong liquor. When his wife tried to get him out of the apartment he blacked her eye. It was under a patch when she went on the ship. Siki, kicking like a roped calf, was carried aboard by six of the strongest stevedores in Cherbourg.
 Locked in his room he acted like , polar bear in a dry kiln.
 He snorted; he roared; he kicked he doors, banged up the furnishings md declared he was dying from hirst. Then they told him he was aboard an American boat and the iind of thirst he had couldn't be luenched just then. So he spat his disgust and calmed. He left the boat ,eaceably. t
 But say' remarked a seaman on he President Adams, "aint that guy { rot nerve to fight an Irishman in { reland on St. Patrick's Day? Win or ose he's bound to get licked"
