M'TICUE WOULD
FIGHT SHARKEY
in ELIMINATION

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-(P-Mike Nc
Tigue today moved to capitalize his
sensational four round triumph over
Paul Berlenbach by offering to fight
Jack Sharkey of Boston in Tex Rick
ards heavyweight elimination tourna-
ment.
Richards efforts to clinch the match
for February 25, the date on which the
Boston heavyweight had contracted to
meet Berlenbach; struck a snag, how
ever, when Johnny Buckley Sharkeys s
manager, demurred. Rickard said he
considered McTigue had established
himself as a strong heavyweight con-
tender in spite of the fact that he
scaled only 169 pounds last night.
Boxing men today ranked the come
back of McTigue with those of the
late Stanley Ketchell and Johnny Dun
dee as one of the most sensational of
boxing history. They pointed out that
during the two year period of his
light heavyweight reign, McTigue did
not win a single outstanding battle,
losing newspaper decisions to Young
Stribling and Mickey Walker, who at
that time held the welterweight title.
Friends claimed that an operation on
Mikes right hand did much to restore
the punching power he displayed in
his early ring days.
Three straight knoci1outs over Billy
Vidabeck, Soldier King and Berlen-
bach since then have made McTigue
one of the major ring attractions of
the current indoor season.

Close To 100000

New YORK, Jan. 20 P0-Suzanne
Lenglen will return to New York
tomorrow from Havana for three
concluding eastern exhibitions of an
American tennis tour which already
has enriched her close to 100000.
The French queen of the courts
will sail for home Immediately after
a farewell appearance in Providence,
r. T., on February I, William Piclkens,
business manager of the tour for
q. c. Pyle, disclosed today. Before
her departure, however, she will
confer with Pyle here on details for
a world tour this year which already
has been tentatively arranged, Pick
ems said.
During the four months that
Suzanne has been under contract to
Pyle as professional she has played
with Mary K. Browne, Vincent Rich
ards, Harvey Snodgrass, Paul Ferret
and Howard Kinsey in 81 cities.
The total will be extended to an
even 40 next month with visits to
Hartford, Conn, Newark, ~ j., and
Providence.
"The venture has been a financial
success far beyond our expectations
Pickens said He asserted that total
receipts would run to half mil
lion dollars including royalties from
tennis paraphernalia, dolls and wom-
ems wearing apparel, endorsed by
Lenglen and Richards. He estimated
Fyle's profit, exclusive of royalties at
between $4,000 and $4,000.
Pickens said the world tour had
been encouraged by calls from for
eign. countries to see Suzanne. He
mentioned France, England, Germany,
Japan and Australia as those most.

queen, who will be accompanied prob
ably by Richards and Miss Browne,

Douglas, Bisbee, Tucson
And Nogales VIII Haze
Teams Of Home Players.

Douglas baseball fans will again
have chance 20 enjoy the national
game this season, if plans now under
consideration to organize semi.
professional southern Arizona league
prove successful The plan is to in
clude Douglas, Tucson, Bisbee and
Nogales in the league. The move
ment is understood to have the
support Of Ken Hamlin, sporting
editor of the Tucson Citizen, and
either sports editors and fans in the
pities mentioned.
Hamlin, in letter to the Dispatch,
states that opinion in Tucson seems
to be against the high cost of MAIN
taining team in such organizations
as the State league and Copper
league The fans in Tucson favor
such semi professional team as
that city had last year, in which
most of the team is composed Of
local talent with only two or three
fpia yerss on straight salary. as
Reports from the cemsralsand north
ern parts of the state are to the eff
feet that there, will be a four-team
Central league and a four7team North-
ern league this season. Between
these two Leagues and the proposed
Southern league, the state champions
ship would be determined.
Douglas baseball fans seem to
favor a non-salaried team, so far as
this is possible. 1t is probable that
some plan may be worked out with
the Copper Queen and Calumet and
Arizona smelters, whereby these com
panies would sponsor teams in the
league. 1t is understood that both
companies are in favor of such teams,
provided no outlaw players are i'm
Scluded.
Tom Glenn, one of the leading base
ball men of this city, stated Satur-
day: douglas would undoubtedly join
such league if the teams were
composed of local talent Such
leagues as the Copper league are en-
tirely too expensive for such towns
as Douglas and Bisbee, principally
because of the great cost of trans
portation. The eDouglas Blues wound
up last season with a deficit and I
believe that if Douglas is to have
league baseball, it. will have to be in
"a league Of home talent players.

DEMOCRATS
TURN To
HIM

Dwight W. Morrow will be con-
firmed by the Senate as ambassador
to Mexico If he proves he has
severed all relations with the firm
of J. P. Morgan & Co., it was de-
clared today by Senatorial leaders.
Democratic Endorsement Of the
appointment of Morrow swept away
the fears of some Administration
leaders that his nomination would
lead to a prolonged battle in the
Senate.
Some opposition, which fingers
among insurgents and Democrats,
it was said, will be wiped out II
Morrow convinces his critics that
he has definitely quit his financial
connection and entered the diplo-
matte service for a public career.
II think Mr.. Morrow will be con-
firmed," said Senator Duncan u.
Fletcher CD of Florida. He is a
man of great ability, and I under.
stand he will retire from all bust
ness to devote himself to public
service. He can be a very valuable
man in Mexico"
Senator Edward /. Edwards D9,
of New Jersey, also. championed
Morrow's appointment.
This Democratic approval also
was seconded by Senator Henry F.
Ashurst of Arizona. while Senator
Kenneth Mcclellan 3D. of Tennessee,
a leader Of the progressive wing of
his party, also Endorsed Morrow.
Certainly his success as q bust.
ness man." said Keller, lis not an
argument against his entering the
public service. Unless some new in
formation is revealed, which would
make him unavailable, I shall vote
for his confirmation"
The lingering opposition to Nor
rows. confirmation probably will
come from a handful of Insurgents
and Democrats. who oppose naming
a Morgan banker to Mexico while
the controversy there over land
titles is unsettled. Senator Pat
Harrison 3D. of Mississippi, one of
those opposing the appointment,
merely said he would mot vote for
confirmation"

PLAY WITH
LOO I IS
SPOILED

James Henry Vincent, 12.year-old
pupil in the Cottage City, Md, pub
lie school, came very near giving
away nearly $4,000 worth Of
negotiable gold bonds and some
insurance policies and deeds and
things he found Tuesday near his
school. Anyhow, a postman hap
pened along in time to advise him
TO keep them just as he was going
to divide with his school cl1ums.
James returned them to the
deeds owner, Mrs Harry j. Miller,
Of 1888 Thirty.fifth St., Mt. Rainier,
Nd, whose name he found in the
envelope containing the real estate
deeds.
1t was while James, who is in
class ga at the Cottage City school,
was returning from an errand for
his teacher that his eyes happened
to light on several envelopes partly
hidden in clump Of locust
bushes.
Good to Play With
They looked like they would be
good to play with. There were
$1,000 worth Of per cent bonds
of the Mt. Rainier Methodist
Church; two $1,000 life insurance
policies and an automobile insur-
ance policy for 81 900 in the various
envelopes; six deeds to Herald Har-
Dor lots, and two deeds for lots in
Edgewater Beach.
Later when James took them to
Mrs. Miller she told him, he said,
that there was a $50 church bond
missing that belonged to her
mother.
The bonds were payable at the
First National Bank of Mt. Rainier,
and she Immediately notified them
all but the $50 bond had been re-
turned.
Discarded By Burglars
Recovery of the valuables dis
closed the fact that when the Mil
lers returned to their home Sun
day after a vacation, two rooms
had been ransacked by burglars.
A detective was at the house
ready to take .fingerprints when
James appeared with his find,
It is believed that the burglars
had cast away their loot at the
spot where the boy found it, when
they discovered they probably would
have trouble disposing of the bonds
without detection.
Harry j. Miller is manager of
the Mt. Vernon Print Shop in the
Mt. Vernon Savings Bank building
on Ninth Street northwest.
