but their fate remains a mystery.
Naval officers consider the case of
the Cyclops unusually puzzling, for
she was equipped with radio and ap-
parently encountered no storms, her
captain last reporting all we'll and
fair weather. She was 542 feet long,
60 feet beam, and of $4,000 tons.
Theories exist that the Cyclops was
improperly loaded and split in two !:
that her machinery was disabled and
her radio put out of commission and
that she was scuttled, and that an
enemy submarine destroyed her, but
official information regarding her is
wholly lacking.

DR.. c. F. Marvin, chief of the wealth

weather from day to day.

in the Pacific in 1921, there is a chap

department is able to throw but little
light.

lantic and Pacific seaboards.
Of the eight players who have sur
yived four rounds, only two-Berkeley
Bell, Austin, Tex, and Harris Cog
gessall, Des Moines, Iowa, represent
sections other than the east and west

cisco, and John Door, Santa Monica,
Cal, must uphold western hopes
against A. L. (Sandy) Weiner. Phila-
delphia, Tilden's protege Frank Luce,

Johnson, Waban, Mass.
The singles in the boys division
bring together Walter Thomas, FL
mora. N. j.; Bertram Claster, Harris
burg, Pa; Frank Shields, New York,
and Leroy VOORHEES,, Cincinnati.
The feature of Wednesdays play in
the junior singles came when Emmett
Pare of Chicago was beaten by Berke-
ley Bell Of Austin, Hex, 2-6, CD, 81.
Pare was strong at the start of the
match but faltered under a barrage of
hard forehand drives and for the Sec
Ond time this year was beaten by Bell.
Pare took the first three games in the
final set but the pace was too strong
and he lost after a hard fight.

PROSPECTS
BRIGHT
Bell Must Rebuild, But Has
Good Material for
the Work.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Aug. 3D.
Despite the fact that Matty Bell, head
grid coach, will have to fashion his
1925 T. c. U. Horned Toad eleven
largely from inexperienced men, l..
c. Wright. athletic director of Texas
Christian University, has arranged a
schedule that would do credit to an
eleven composed wholly of star vet
Grams. Three powerful Southwest
Conference schools, Baylor University
Texas A. & M. College, and Arkansas
University, will be met by L. @. u. az
well as Oklahoma A. 4 NJ, one OF
the strongest Of Missouri Valley
schools, and Simmons University and
Austin College, strong members OF the
Il. i. A. A.
In addition to losing from his col
orful 1924 eleven the grid combina-
tion that was responsible for one Of
the major upsets Of the Southwest
last season in defeating the outfit Of
the Oklahoma Aggies, such stars as;
Captain Jack, the one-armed, hard
fighting guard; Tankersley, big
Jim" Cantrell. and Homer Adams.
Coach Bell lost at the end of last sea-
son Bill James, line coach of merir.
Coach James, who starred along with
Bell when the two were playing for
the famous Praying Colonies" of Cen--
ter College, is now line coach at Texas
University.
1t is fortunate that the 1924 fresh
man team of the Horned Toads boast
ed a number of promising players.
Most of these promising youngsters,
formerly played for some Fort Worth
high school.
Some of the members of last sea-
sons squad who are expected to star
in 1925 are: Herman Clark, splendid
quarterback, who was nominated for
All-Southwestern honors by more thnn
one sport writer last year; Donald
Frazee, fleet halfback; big Tom
George, giant tackle or guard; "JtTr

MONTEZ AND MER|NO
IN HOT EXHIBITION

Mercy Montez and Johnny Merino,
slated to put on a six-round exhibition
tilt before the G. NJ. T. c. students as
the feature of their boxing tourney at
Fort Sam Houston Wednesday night,
got their wires crossed in some manner
during the early rounds and tried their
best to smear each other all up.
Both got grOuchy after taking a few
punches, and from that time until the
end they put on an exact carbon copy
Of their recent smuggling bee in the
Fort Sam oval. Captain Berry, who
had charge of the tournament, de-
clared it to be the best exhibition"
bout he has ever seen.
As a result Of other fights on the
program, champions were declared in
each of nine weight divisions among
the G. NJ. T. @. students.

bat SIKH WILL Be
DEPORTED AT ONCE
By the Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. ID
Battling Sikh, the Senegalese, who rose
to pugilistic heights by defeating
Georges Carpenter, and who told i'm
migration authorities when he came
here in April, 1924, that be planned
to stay only n month, must leave the
country forthwith or face arrest and
deportation proceedings.
The labor department, in informing
the fighter that he was not wanted
here any longer, took cognizance of
long sequence of newspaper ac-
counts of various escapades, the most
recent of which was revealed when
Sikh was found on a street in New
York City's negro section unconscious
from a knife wound.
Taken to a hospital at that time,
he was reported TO have fled the
place without the formality Of don
ming street clothes.
Immigration authorities said that,
on his arrival, they were informed
Ski, whose real name is Louis Fall,
that he wished to remain a month to
engage in several bouts. He asked
temporary admission as an artist
not subject to the quota law and was
given permission to remain six
months. Officials said today that
his presence in this country since
last November had been illegal.
Sikh gave his age as % when he
entered the country and said he had
been engaged in boxing contests since
he was ten years old, having begun
in his native land. He came into
sudden prominence when he took the
worlds 1ight-heavyweight crown from
Carpenter, but he later lost it to
Mike McTigue in Dublin.

PANCHO-M COY
RING BATTLE
CALLED OFF

The well cooked up Kid Pancho-
Johnny Mccoy battle Of fists is off,
for the time being at least.
Kid Pancho, whose injured arm was
rapidly rounding into shape in what
would have been plenty of time to fight
Mccoy August 20, is suddenly beset
with a complete set of boils which re-
move him from the active list for a
month, so tits said, despite operations
performed on them.
But the fight fans are to be accom-
modated, anyway. Captain X. L..
Berry, athletic officer at the post, is
busy arranging for a substitute to take
the place of the embodied Pancho.
Upon hearing of the little fighters con-
dition, he telegraphed Bobby Hughes
at New Orleans Wednesday afternoon
and is expecting a favorable reply at
any moment.
Hughes is ayclassy little scrapper
and, il the promoter succeeds in get
ting him and Mccoy into the same
ring, the air will be reasonably well
filled with gloves. Hughes has fought
both PanchO and Mccoy in San An
tonic rings and all bouts were close af-
fairs, although Hughes lost most of the
decisions.
If Hughes cannot be obtained, Cap
tain Berry is prepared to pit the will
ling little Johnny Merino against Nc
Coy. If Mccoy kicks at the extra
weight carried by Merino, lad named
Stuart will be imported from Denver,
Colo. There will be a fight in the
Fort Sam arena the night of August
20. Take Berry's word for that.

mate on the singles combination in
the forthcoming Davis Cup defense
matches.
Johnston waded through his op.
ponent in rather easy style in the

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.--For the
champion who has yet to defend his
laurels in the current campaign there
are few cheering reflections in scan
ming the train of disaster that has
befallen many Of the erstwhile idols
of sport.
1t has been bad year for title
holders in most every branch of COM
petition with the not unlikely prospect
of few additional turnovers before
the last goal is kicked or the final
putt is holed.
Here are a few of the outstanding
casualties among the champions:
willie Hoppe lost the balk-line
billiard crown to young Jake Schaefer.
2-Strangler Lewis was tossed off
the heavyweight wrestling throne by
Wayne Mum, who later yielded to
the veteran, Stanislaus Zbyszko.
PUGS LOSE TITLES.
3-Cannon Ball Martin dropped the
worlds bantamweight boxing cham
pionship to Charley Rosenberg.
mike McTigue lost his light
heavyweight title to Paul Berlenbach.
5-W. i. Garrett Gilmore's ma
tionAl Sculling honors went to Wal
ter Hoover. xs,,,. .. @,~-,>..
Cyril Walker lost the American
golf crown to Willie MacFarlane.
Babe Ruth has been dethrOned
as major league home-run king. An
expert concensus probably would
agree that William 7. Tilden tennis
monarch for five years, has the best
chance of any to keep at the top. 1t
also would cOncede that Jack Demp-
sey heavyweight crown will be intact
by January l, 1926, but whereas
Dempsey's present policy involves few,
if any risks, Tilden will meet all
comerS in defense of his title.

BAD YEAR FOR CHAMPIONS
MAY BRING MORE UPSETS

may find Big Bills Achilles heel in
the championships next month.
A year ago Helen Wills seemed
destined for supremacy of the type
of Tilden's. She now is threatened
by Elizabeth Ryan, the Californian,
who has come back to American
tournament competition after thirteen
years in England and Europe, where
she was Suzanne Lenglen's most con-
sistent rival.
In golf, Bobby Jones, the amateur
king and Walter Hagen, p. G. A.
champion, face none too pleasant
prospects trying to keep their laurels
in q game which delights in upsets
and uncertainties. Nevertheless, these
two famous links men will tee off
with close to an even chance of COM
ing through again.
BASEBALL CHANGES.
Baseball fandom, meanwhile. is
clearing its decks for new cham
pion or two. In the home yards of
the New York Giants and the Wash
ington Senators, rulers of 1924 major
league heights, this may seem BIT
premature but supporters of the
Pittsburgh Pirates and the Philadel'
phia Athletics were almost ready to
hoist their pennants. % S..
On the face of returns SO far. the
Senators have the best chance Of re-
peating if their veteran hurting crew
is able to stick to its guns to the
finish.
1t is an interesting and somewhat
strange sidelight in the championship
class to note that women stars have
been more consistent than the mascu-
line competitors. Suzanne Lenglen
and Joyce Wethered maintained their
reigns in the domains of tennis and
golf abroad, while few mermaids are
willing to dispute Gertrude Ederle's
place around the top in swimming.
