SIK WILL MEET NORFOLK TUESDAY

NEW YORK, Nov 1S.-Battling Siki, who, with his pet lion and his popgun, terrorized the gendarmerie of Paris after he won the light heavyweight championship of the world from Georges Carpentier. will try to terrorize Kid Norfolk of New York Tuesday night in Sikfs first battle in America. Ski has had a few unofficial skirmishes with the police but aside from those incidents he has done nothing which would give the boxing commission the right to cancel him. He will be kept close to his training quarters in New Jersey, if possible. until the time comes for him to go to the ring, so that he may not be declared invalid for public misconduct.
 Sikis eX-managers have organized themselves as cheering section and will have a block of seats on one side of the ring from which to call rude remarks at him. There are enough of them to swing an election.
 Both Siki and Norfolk are prone to be rather careless about their condition between fights and a knock out is expected.

 Firpo Greatest Citizen.
 Firpo was hailed as the greatest citizen of the republic, and there was no reference to him as prize fighter. That term was avoided by the use of gentIer and more digni- fled synonyms such as athlete" and "eXponent of the art of boxing. Buenos Aires does not admit that Firpo is the worst boxer in the world, a title that was conferred on him in New York, where he earned it with his stupendous awkwardness.
 Senor Firpo was careful to eX- plain the difficulty in La Paz. Bo- livia, last week, where he, was hissed by a crowd and numerous offended Bolvians ran about in widening cir cles shouting Death to Firpo. Firpo was indisposed when he ar rived in La PaZ, he said, and this fact was not presented to the people by the promoters of his exhibition who simply said the distinguished Argentine refused to accept the hos pitality of Bolivians at the festivities which had been arranged for him.
 But when Luis Angelo got the ear of the crowd and demonstrated the afdor or ulS dLleCtlohs AoI iii Ii!i6 ' Bolivian he made it clear that of all the people in the world, Hext to his brother, Argentinoes, he cherished the Bolivians most. He was simply mad about Bolivians. That changed everything and Firpo left Bolivia in high standing.
 As Luis Angelo flocked into town with his newspaper cabinet, group of Spaniards serenaded him with a song composed especially for the oc- casion: Champion Dempsey Lost"
 Firpo explained that such really was not the case. He referred them to the official outcome of their four minute battle which, he said, spoke for itself He admitted that Demp- sey "bothered" him and said he was satisfied with the decision.

LUIS ANGEL FIRPO IS NOW GREATEST MAN IN ARGENTINE

< .BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 1S.-Luis Angelo Firpo, returning to the city of his birth in the role of million aire and leading citizen, made royal progress Sunday. scattering words Of advice 10 young and old in number of speeches to crowds along the route.
 Firpo was bottle washer in drug store three or four years ago. but since he was knocked out by Jack Dempsey, the papers of his homeland have discovered qualities of maEnificence in him, which went quite unnoticed in his earlier days.
 Firpo is an "art collector, indus trialist and distinguished citizen, now, but he proved withal to be democratic and indulgent celebrity as he shook hands with the multi tudes and patiently answered their thousand questions from the plat form of the train,

GIBBONS TO FIGHT M MIAMI ARENA

KANSAS CITY. Mo- Nov. 1S.- Tommy Gibbons, the St. Paul heavy weight, will fight someone in Miami, Fla, some time in January, but just what the victims name is, Eddie Kane, his manager, refused to an- nounce here Sunday.
 Gibbons. who so nimbly avoided Jack Dempsey's crushers at Shelby on July 4, is doing his daily dozen before the footlights here
 A short talk by Kane. in which he nonchalantly admits that the next time his charge and Dempsey climb into the padded square things will be different, especially so where finances are concerned, concludes Gibbons act.
 Gibbons is ready and anxious to meet Georges Carpenter, the fallen French idol,"9, said Kane, when asked regarding rumors that this ar gument was to take place" Of course. we will want a substantial portion of the gate receipts. Yes, we must have that"

THREE UNBEATEN ELEVENS IN WEST
Indications That Western Title Will Be Un-
 decided

CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-Three unde- feated Big Ten elevens rounded into the home stretch tonight in the race for Western Conference champion ship honors, with every indication of a neck -and-neck finish when they go under the wire next Saturday.
 Two contests will decide the issue. Tn one of them Michigan and Mime sota, both unbeaten, will clash al Ann Arbor in a battle from which, excluding the possibility of tie, one eleven will emerge a claimant to first honors. In the other. Illinois. with a clean record, will face Ohio State at Columbus, with the Illni a top heavy favorite to win and share championship honors with the winner of the Michigan Minnesota contest Should the Buckeyes go on a ram page and kick over all the dope, the winner of the Wolverine Gopher con test would stand the undisputed champion.
 The Ann Arbor contest will be the focus of interest in the conference. Minnesotas stocks were boosted tre- mendously by its 20 to victory over Iowa Saturday, while Michigan's mar row squeak in it's game with Wiscon- sin and the fact that it's list of cas- ualties was increased, have not add ed to it's potential strength. The dope, the nebulous quantity that so often means so little, indicates that Minnesota has grown stronger with each game, while Michigan does not display the strength indicated earlier in the season. Minnesota and Wis consin played a scoreless tie game October 27, and yesterday Michigan defeated Wisconsin to 3. But yes terday Minnesota licked Iowa 20 to ', while the best Michigan could do against the Hawkeyes two weeks ago was to g. In addition to Uteritz and others. Michigan will enter its most crucial struggle without the services of Jack Blott, it's star center hurt in yesterdays game. The out look for the Wolverines is one to cause them concern.
 Illinois, headed by it's fighting ace i Red" Grange. sensation of the sea son in the conference, is expected to give everything it has in the Ohio struggle. The Illini. who won an easy 27 to victory over the Missis- sippi Aggies yesterday, allowed Grange and most of the regular backfield to sit on the bench, but will probably take. no chance next Satur- day of having an unsullied record spoiled
 The Big Ten teams will engage ir ! contests with their last games of the season. Wisconsin will meet Chicago at Chicago. with the Badgers favored to win; Iowa will go against North western at Evanston, a heavy favor ite over the Purple. and Purdue will meet Indiana at Bloomington, witf the Boilermakers given the edge.

Jockey Club Says Bets Are Already Paid And Decision
 Will Stand

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nov 1S.-The bets have been paid on victory by Zev, and the judges decision on his match race with In Memoriam Sat urday afternoon, will have to stand.
 But those who believed at the in stant of the finish that the horses had run dead heat and those who thought that In Memoriam had won by a whisker are corroborated by photographic records of the finish
 The Jockey club announced that the movies of the finish showed the horses to be dead even at the wire. Slow movies and still pictures which caught the steeds at the instant of finishing are said to reaVel a very slight advantage for In Memoriam
 "The race was awarded to Zev by the judges" said a statement from the Jockey club in response to the arguments. All the mutuel tickets that paid so cents to $2 or Zev have been paid off, and nothing can be done about it now, even if the movies did show In Memoriam in the lead"
 Carl Weidemann, owner of In Memoriam, took his beating in the philosophic manner of the sportsman when the judges signaled Zev the winner after an age-long moment of uncertainty. Weidemann said the fin ish was mighty close, but did not pro- test.

wooING OF LADY GEoRCI.NA

'lt was while he was something of a social lion that Dr. Wolff met my great-aunt Lady Georgiana Walpole. Though clever enough, the lady was at that tine mature spinster of no greaNNpersonal attractions. She hap pened. while sitting next to Dr. Wolff at dinner party, to drop her fork The doctor gallantly stopped to pick it up, and in the process of doing so pinched her leg. Having had little experience of that sort of thing, his enterprise made an impression upon her, and as she had a certain amount of money and was clever, Wolff. who had faced many dangers without quailing, determined to face another, and proposed. Having been accepted he went, to see the lady's brother, the third Earl of Orford and after stat ing his intentions, said: I may add that I come of the blood of Abraham m, Isaac and Jacob.'

ZEV IS KING

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nov 1S.-By vir- tue of scant nose victory over In Memoriam, the Raneocas stables Zev was en route to Baltimore tonight with the three- Xear7old turf crown resting squarely on top Of his head. In what today seemed destined long to hold place as the most thrilling and extraordinary finish in the annals of the American turf, Harry F. Sin clair's crack colt flashed past the wire at Churchill Downs yesterday neck and neck with Carl Wiede- mann's In Memoriam..
 So close was that breath taking finish of the mile and one quarter match race between the two great colts that the judges decision was necessary to Establish the winner. Trained observers experienced in judging close finishes, and many of tthe approximately 40,000 turf fans, thought the Wiedemann colt had won and a shout Tn Memoriam" was lifted high, over the historic race course. Time for the race was 2:06 S-5, three and two-fifths seconds slower than the trace record for a mile and a quarter made by Woodtrap in 1921 and a second and one-fifth slower than the time for the distance made by Zev in winning the Kentucky Derbv
