From the foregoing one might
draw the conclusion that McTigue
cannot get a fight, but one would
be wrong. The complaining wit.
ness before the commission tomor.
row will be William Gibson. man.
ager of Gene Tunney. who IL
recognized as the American light
heavyweight champion. Gibson will
insist on McTigue setting a def.
mite date for a bout with Tunney
McTigue and Tunney are both
Americans and one of the two
titles they hold is superfluous. Tun.
ney has been willing to meet Mike
at any time and a match was
arranged between them last fall,
with Tex Rickard as promoter
McTigue split with his manager,
Joe Jacobs, about that time. and
later took the stand that Jacobs
had no right to sign him for the
Tunney match.
The boxing commission took a
hand and McTigue, called to book
explained that a broken hand had
compelled him to call off all his
matches for q time. However, he
promised faithfully to give Tun-
ney the first chance.
Gibson has exhausted his powers
Of persuasion and his patience in
the effort to get McTigue to set a
new commission because he has
been informed that McTigue in.
tends to go abroad in a few weeks
yuyfHk Rsrpla
That means that the title may be
hawked about the second-rate mar
kets of Europe instead of being put
into real competition.
For the last few days Gibson has
camped on Richards doorstep try
ing to get something started. but
apparently Rickard has been unable
to corner McTigue.
OF course the commission cannot
prevent Michael from ducking over
to the other side with its title, but
it can set him down here, and that
probably will be done.
When Joe Jacobs parted with
McTigue he issued a statement In
which he asserted that McTigue
never wanted to mingle with Tun-
ney. In the good old days an Irish
champion would not have permitted
such reflections on his ability or
courage, but the modern title-hold-
ers are something else again.
The case of PanchO villa Is an
other that needs attention. Know
ing that Joe Lynch Is in disfavOr
here and that he may not be able
to make 118 pOunds-the bantam
limit-Villa hurls a challenge at
him.
He offers to guarantee Lynch
$4,000 for fight. OF course this
may be just a mere publicity stunt,
but when Villa declares he cannot
get action in the division in which
he holds a worlds title he strains
the truth.
frankie Genaro, who holds an.
other Of those paradoxical titles,
has scored twice over Villa in de-
cision bouts in New York and for
the last six months has pursued
the Filipino in vain for a match to
decide the worlds championship.
The only excuse for Villa is that
he wants to hold off the Genaro
match until summer, when 1t can
he fought in the open. Other real
title bouts are hanging fire for the
same reason, but 1t Is extremely
bad taste for champions to ignore
their closest rivals while they re-
peatedly challenge champions in

In 1906 Nick Altrock was just
about the best southpaw pitcher in
the big leagues. He was playing
with Fielder Jones' Chicago White
Sox, winners of the pennant and
booked to dispute the world series
with the Chicago Cubs, led by
Frank Chance, this year manager
of the White Sox, strange as that
may appear.
Going to the ball park on the
eve of the opening game OF that
series were Jones, Hahn and Alt
rock, all riding together in a cab.
Jones, who played the outfield as
we'll as managed the Sox, was in
doubt as to what pitcher to send
against the great "Three-Finger"
Brown, the Cubs star. He ad-
mitted it.
"Why worry?" said Nick. "Pitch
me-"
No South Side Chicago fan will
ever forget that game. Altrock
carried Brown down the line to the
limit, winning the game, l to 0. He
gave the Cubs four hits, just as
much as the Sox got off Brown, but
that game took the life out of
Brown.
Altrock and Brown were hooked
up again in the fifth game Of the
series, Brown winning, 2 to 1,
when Eddie Hahn lost a fly ball
in the sun.

The antique we refer to was d
Methuselah Dundee. He had bat
ties in New York rings when Joe
Humphreys wore a pompadOur. He
sold fans to the delegates to the
Democratic convention held at
Tammany Hall in 80. He was
around New York when Leo Flynn
was Just learning to play pool.
Now, bent, wrinkled and weak,
he asked johnson to ballyhoo him
bit and see if he couldn't help
him fill his time savings bank De-
fore he passed out of the picture,
Mr.. Johnston started the ba!ly
hoo and presently ]. Methuselah
Dundee came romping home with
the junior lightweight champion
ship dangling at his belt along
side the featherweight crown.
Mr.. Johnston busted off his an
tique, oiled it up a bit, and then
put it away on the shelf.
Soon there came q star from New
Orleans who claimed that next to
the champion he was the greatest
lightweight on earth. He was In
troduced to the populace here and
there, had his pictures in the pa
pers, dreamed of a million dollar
gate at q New York baseball park
next summer when boxing would b.
ripe. and smiled and smiled.
New York fans wanted to see
this star perform again. Maybe
they hadn't given him the right
sort of a tumble when he was here
before. Yes, they should see him
again.
A manager Of fight parlor sug-
gested that he box with some crack
Dot who would be easy cracking,
SO that his rep might grow some
more.
"Why not did up that antique
of Johnston's he suggested.
That gave the Moran people a
laugh. "Yes," they replied, "weIl
polish old Methuselah off in q few
rounds and then attract more at
tention than ever"
Mr.. johnson agreed. He got
out his antique, oiled it up some
more, put a bit Of putty here and
there where it was badly cracked,
polished it up, and set it out.
Moran was as helpless as a guy
with two broken arms and poison
oak. -
The antique came home on the
chin strap a mile ahead.

has licked the best feathers, the
best Junior lightweights and the
best lightweight contenders.

The Genii did not know that the magical hobby horse had followed him into the castle, so. when the Genii brought in Mrs. Mingle's mag ica cupboard and ate everything he could wish for, he went to sleep.
 Then, when the Genii was fast asleep and was snoring, the hobby horse searched through the castle until he found his friends fast asleep in the wonder room.
 So the hobby horse hid behind the soda water fountain until he found a chance to rescue his friends.
 The hobby horse had only been waiting about ten minutes when he heard the Genii coming down the hall. q must keep out of sight,. the hobby horse thought.
 "Ha, ha, hal" what a pleasant sight it is to see the Raggedys and Mrs. Mngle and Mir. Mingle here fast asleep!" the Genii laughed. "l shall give them some more chocolate candy when they awaken and that will put them to sleep again and they will never discover that l have the magical cupboard!"
 "Oh!" the hobby horse thought to himself. "So that is the way you have put my friends to sleep is it? Well, I shall certainly try 10 rescue l them the first chance 1 get!" But he remained very quiet until the Genii | had gone away again, then he came 1 out and sat down beside RaggedS i Ann.

 My business is going along fine never had so much of it in my life before, and attribute it all to Mrs. Atherton. I've been a little out ot patience with her, since Leslie went away, however, for she has hardly looked at me, and if she were mind to, she could brighten my loneliness a lot. I like to talk to her, she al- ways has something original to say.
 Now, Syd, I hope you won't be as stubborn as Leslie has been. DO you think I could go over to the Hamil- tons without shattering my dignity at all?
