ERIN IS AROUSED
OVER COMING
Of SIKH
DubIiners Getting Ready to
Wager Family Treasury
on McTigue.
By DANIEL O'CONNELL.
International News Service.

DUBLIN, March 9.-Dubliners
are getting ready to go and dig up
the family treasure from where it
was hidden when the Republicans
began to get rambunctious and slap
1T down as bet that Mike Nc
Tigue will take all the battle out
Of Battling Sikh when the twain
meet here ON March II.
There is no person like an Irish
man for taking his own side of a
quarrel. Since McTigue is most
patiently an Irishman the Dublin
sports are taking his side of the
argument, even If Mike did learn
his trade in America.
1t has been almost two decades
since Ireland has been so stirred up
over any battle in which the imple-
ments Of warfare were two sets of
fists and knuckles. Most of the
Irish have been so busy with fight
ing OF a more dangerous character
for the last few years that they
have had scant time to take inter
est in pugilistic struggles. Back
in 1908. when Tommy Burns, who
was then the heavyweight cham
pion OF the universe, turned out
the lights for Jem Roche with a
few well-chosen swats, the Irish got
all steamed up over box fight
Since that time they have paid
very little attention to the fine art
OF fisticuffs
When the announcement that
Sikh. the conqueror of Carpenter.
had been matched with the Irish
American scrapper first was mad
the Irish were skeptical, and the
betting odds were heavy in Skis
favor.

me newer OFFICIAL impressed by
the dean of the corps. and finding
his own time one or two or per-
haps even three-tenths slower, fears
that he has been the victim Of in
experience, and so, without any
desire to cheat, announces "same
here" This is no dream. It has
actually happened, and many times.
There are such things, too, as
individual watches. They may be
good watches, but when the test
comes 1t Is quite possible that they
will not synchronize. This too, has
happened.
Now the suggestion has been seri.
ously made to the A. A. u, and
seriously considered, that races in
future be, timed with "A. A. u.
watches" The plan is to build 8
standard watch, these watches to
be tested at a certain period OF
time before the event. It is oil
simple enough so far.
Now comes the really radical
move. The plan contemplates
stamping the watch with the name
Of the timer and then sealing the
face with an Opaque substance. The
timer himself will never see the
face of his watch, or know where
he has stopped the flying hand.
At the conclusion of the race the
watches are all handed to the ref
cree, who unseals the face, and an
nounces the times, together with
the names of the timers who caught
them.
This procedure would result in
wiping out the habitually fast or
the habitually slow timer, and build.
ing up a corps of real experts who
are not to be unsteadied by the i'm.
portance of the event itself.

there-no two ways about it. He
does his stuff right. He finished

caught the time i'm nine and eight
tenths, and the other three
watches, which were split I'm
fffths, caught the same time
nine and fOur-fifths.
Paddock has been out of COM
petition for a year and half and
has been training less than month.
If he can do that in February,
what will he do in April or May?
Later in the same afternoon I
saw him run the 220-one of eight
men in a mile relay--and he was
timed In 81 4-5--around the one end
turn of quarter-mile track. Not
half bad-what? It is true the
track was lightning fast, but so was
Paddock.
''I was more interested in his
style than ] was In his speed. I
say style because 1t could not be
called form, for he has nothing
which resembles what is conven-
tionally known as form.
"1e is totally and completely
all wrong as far as form is con-
cerned except that he moves his
legs fast and forward.
Instead of driving his body for
ward he seems to pull it forward,
which is just another way of saying
that his legs are always ahead of
his body and that his head goes up
in the air and he does most OF the
things that would be fatal to speed
in almost every other man.
But his tremendous strength i'm.
presses one as the real foundation
of his speed. Then. too, at the
finish he actually leaps the last six
feet or more"

such things are called home

them.
It happened at New Orleans.
Carl Mays, who happened to be
