ISIkI FIGHTS, BUT IN
 RESTAURANT BOUTS
His Manager Disguised, Plans to
 Return to US.

| Havana, March 2S.-George Law renee, fight promoter, is going back
 to the United States.
 When the fighter you arc supposed to promote puts on five bouts in as many weeks and you don't get a chance to promote any of them, 1 what's the use of sticking around ?' Lawrence asked last night Then he 1 announced that next week he would return to New York and start promot- ing for somebody else than Battling" Siki.
 The "restaurant bout here We'd ncsday night. in which Ski got knock cd out with sugar bowl in the hands of brawny stevedore, coming after four other fights which were not seri- ous enough for the police to interfere, was the Hast straw,' Lawrence said.
 Bob Levy, Skis manager. said he was going to stick it out for while. Although he showed half a dozen of. fers for Siki to fight in the United States Levy said he could not get the big French Senegalese boxer to leave Cuba.
 Ski, who is carrying around seven stitches in his scalp from his affair with the stevedore in the restaurant Wednesday night, boxed a siX-round exhibition yesterday afternoon under the auspices of Luis Pincho, q local promoter, notwithstanding the protest Of Levy, who declared Siki was not in shape to train since he had only been out of the hospital 10 days, where he had been under treatment for bron- chial pcnumonia.
 Siki and Miguel Chacon Saricl., the 26 year old stevedore, who used the sugar bowl on skis head, arc out in s25 bail pending a hearing April ?. According to observers of the en- counter when the fight started, ski iabbed the stevcdore once in the stomach. The steSedora then landed with the sugar bowl and the bout was over.

Miss Leitch also defeated her arch-rival in the finals of the French championship at Fontainbleau and at another time in Il county match. Only five women, other than Miss l loitch. have defeated Miss Wethercd in four years of almost continuous

MCTIGUE IS ALL SET TO

Feels Sure He Will show Up the Ma con Scloolbo. in Their
 Coming Bout.

New York. March 2s.--Mike Nc. Tigue. light heavyweight champion has scant respect for Young Stribling whom he meets in scheduled ton. round encounter in the Newark ar mory next Monday night. Tho 1o- year-old Southern lad held him to a ten-ronnl draw in Columbus last De. iobcr 1, hui, according to the cham. pion's reasoning that doesn't mean 2 thing. IL is not indicative Of theil relative merits, he argues
 Meficue's ehiof concern 10 thc present time is not what will hap. pen 10 him when he gets into Inc ring with Stribling. but what will transplre after that cngamcment. Four days later it will have been exactly six months since he de- tended his tile in a decision bout. Tho Stribling match is no.decision affair Tho last he fought 10 an official result was tho previous ono with Slrlbling.
 The rules or the New York state FoNing commission require that champions shall fght at least one decision battle every siy months 10 preserve thoir good standing. on April that term will have expired for NcTigue. He is bit fearful that he will be held amenable 10 tho hard and fast application or inc rule. although he thinks that be- cause his dlencss was enforced by q broken hand he should be given an extension Of time.
 Nc Tieue is planning an active this summer. The Strib- ling bout is regarded merely as q earn-up for more important matches when the opcn-air season rolls around.

FOHL SAYS BOSTON
 WILL NOT BE LAST
But Won't Predict That Sox
 Will Take Flag

San Antonio, Tex, March .S.- l Manager Lee Fohl of the Boston Red SoX is not strong for winning conyer- sational pennants, he much prefers delivering on the ball field. The only prediction that he will make on the 1924 American league race is this:
 "The Boston Red Sox will not finish in last place.
 The Boston Red Sox manager is getting every thrill that goes with the job of a major league leader, also more than his share of disa ppoint- mcnts.
 Fohl. after building the sclevclsnd club from an ordinary aggregation 10 a pcnnant contender, was dcposed, only 10 have his club go out and win q pennant and world series the fol- lowing year under Iris Speaker.
 Tough Break With Browns
 Then came q chance with the St. Louis Browns. In few years, under Fohl's direction. they came within game of winning the American league ponnant.
 Picked to beat out the Yankees in 1928. lrohl's first bit of woe was George Sisters eye affliction. which deprived him of the services Of the most valuable player in baseball.
 That bit of hard luck broke down the morale of the club and Killed the teams chances from the start.
 Now Tohl, who for several years has been with pennant contenders, takes charge Of tail-end club. He is delighted with the opportunity, for he is working under his old boss, Bobby Quinn.
 Likes Red SoN's Chance.
 Tho Red Sox will not finish in last place" is about all an interview with Fohl discloscs. He may feel that he has chance 10 finish in tho first divi- sion but doesn't say so.
 fohls hopes for better day for the Boston Red Soy is based on the ac- qusition of Steve U'Ncill and Bil Nambsganss from Cleveland and Bobby Ncach from Dctroit.
 For 10 days prior 10 the coming Of tho regulars l'ohi has had his rockies working out. He wanted to see them in action before inc arrival of tho vet erans. feeling they would work asier knowing none of tho stars were giving them the once over.
 l'ohl is hopeful that he maS grab off one worthwhile pitcher from the many recruits in the training camp.

u. s. WATER STARS OLYMPIC FAVORITES
European Experts Fear WeiSs-
 muller and Miss Wainwright

New York, March 9S.-ENperts in
 Paris have been issuing statements
 from time to time relative to which
 country stands the best chance of taking premier honors in different
 events on the Olympic program. In 1 Itheir discussion of swimming, how ever, their articles are limited to one ] lquestion: How many hundreds of | points will the victorious Americans run up?
 If is universally admitted that the United States will run away with the swimming division of the games. Newspapers in Paris. Sweden. Bel aium and Switzerland long have been discussing the ability of the American swimmers and while Belgium and France have been working hard to perfect teams that wilt win some honors.. both are now in agreeemnt that their race will be for second Iplace honors and moi for the cham- pionship.
 The fact that Weissmuler has many records failing has further strcnstnefed European experts Tn their prediction that premier honors will again fall to the Americans. The showing of Miss Helen Wainwright also has not gone unnoticed abroad and considerable com mcnt on her i'm proVement since the games of 1920 is being made.
 The fact that almost every worlds record from loo yards up to 500 yards is held by Weissmullcr further dis courages the European swimemrs from scoring first place in the games. Miss Srbil Bauer also has been at tracing moro than little attention abroad where records are being studied. Her ability in the backstroke is unquestioned and experts abroad arc certain that she can win first place in this event in the Olympics.

JUST WHAT DOES
 MAKE PROFESSIONAL
Olympic Committee Rules That
 Writing Is Violation
tBy Billy Evans)


 What is professionalism in sport?
 That seems to be a rather difficult, question for the colleges to decide.
 4 college football star who also happens to be an excellent swimmer, acts as instructor for pay and is de- clared professional.
 Another college star. who is q good salesman, sets up system of pay-as- Aou-take candy counters ovcr the campus and throughout the year reaps rich arvcst. This is no way affects his amateur status, say the colleges. One player profitcd through swim ming ability. the other through cX- pert salesmanship. One is declared pro, the other amateur. even though Inc lure of the money was the ob- jectiye in both cases.
 How can an individual in sport who desires to retain his amateur standing. earn money without being placed in the professional class?
 Tho very latest example of this question is furnished by the action of
 
 Olympic committee.
 Several months ago Champion Til den took to task the powers-that- be in tennis. Tildcn, an expert writer on the teachnical end of the game, has probably done as much for the sport in that manner as by his playing.
 For his effrontery in chiding the powers-to-be, no player after 1895 can write and retain his amateur tennis standing. This ban also hits Vincent Richards, one of the game's best players, who also writes tennis for livelihood.
 Now comes the Olympic committee saving that no writer-athlcte can represent this country in that event. Since several track athletes also do literary stunts, prominent among them being Loren MurchiSon, it looks as if the ban would be far reaching. If an athlete is educated and talent cd in a literary way, we cannot see why he shouldn't have the right to put his talents to the best possible ad- vantage.
 Hundreds of college athletes arc working their way through college. Some wash dishes. Others wait on table. \ few act as isnitors. \ great many are salesnen of various neces- sities used at college. Yet ap athlete who has ability as . writer and m expert knowledes of the game of which he writes, he is declared professional 1T he seeks to realize on his literary ability.
 Certainly there is something wrung with the system that defines the sta tus of an amateur.
  The powers-that-he take the aiii. tndo that tho athlete k using his prestige in the sport world as his capital, rather than natural ability as a writer. They insist he is merely capitalizing on his reputation and no amateur can do that and remain anna i tcur.

FIRE INSURANCE PAID
IN TEXAS HIGHER THAN
BILL FOR EDUCATION
Estimate Losses at $780,
O00,O0O-Appropriate
$l7,38S, 900 for Schools.

Austin, Tex, April 12.-Records OF
the State Fire Insurance Commission
disclose that more money is paid out
on fire insurance losses in Texas than
for educational purposes. Losses
from fires in Texas for n thre-year
period average 1888 900 and to this
may be added 20 per cent of losses
not reported and included in mutual
companies. this bringing the losses
to approximately $20,OO0,000.
There was appropriated for. the
schools during the 1921 session of the
Legislature. $1S,433,OO0 and for the
1922 period the appropriation was
S16,S73.0 600 and for the 1923 period
the appropriation was S16,S55.O0c
and for the present year it was $lo,-
651, 900.
Thus it will be observed that the
average appropriation for educational
purposes is ST, 36S,000, which shows
that the fire losses amount to more
than is spent on education. Accord
ing to members of the Fire Insurance
Commission the average person does
not take these facts seriously as they
seem to think the insurance companies
have to stand the losses and the peo-
pie are benefited. 1t is pointed out.
however, that with the losses so great
each year the premiums are higher
than they should be. and much higher
than they would be il the people exer-
cised more care in fire prevention. =.
By reducing fire losses to a mini
mum the insurance companies Will
then be in position to reduce premium
rates and the difference will thus be
saved by the people.
