Billy Petrolle is the most feared

the world today.
Billy Petrolle is the most sought
after sockcr in his division today. :.
These are the conclusions reached
by the Mysterious Promoter who
announced definitely that he was
bending every effort to bring the
Fargo Express to the Capital City,
as the headliner on the big boxing
progrem which is being proposed for
the Grainmen's convention.
After burning up the wires be-
tween Bismarck and Duluth, the
Twin Cities. Chicago, Kansas City,
Omaha, Denver and Butte. the Mys.

be poison. Every scrapper in the
fight centers named wants to tight
but not the Italian gentleman from
Fargo.
Hurley Wants Plenty
In touch with Jack Hurley, the
debonair manager of Walloping vii,
lie, the Mysterious Promoter learned
that Jack and Bill will come to BIS
marck-for staggering sum. Also,
that Mr.. Hurley has exactly II Of
fers for his protege from middle
west promoters alone and that all the
promoters are having the same diff
culty-nobody likes the kind of wea-
pons that Bill carries.
Here's the chance to put Bismarck
on the fight map for good" said the
unknown, "all l have to do is get an
opponent for Bill and the 4S states
will know that North Dakota's Cap.
ital City did what no other city could
do.
"Hurley was o little unreasonable
in his offer and think that he will
bring Bill out here for a figure that
will permit me to stage the card.
Seeks Courageous Boy
"Right now I will concentrate on
ransacking the lightweight regiment
for a boy who will not be afraid to
risk his chin and who will figure q
possible knockout may bring him a
crack at Sammy Mandell, the inac-
cessible ruler of all lightweights.
"Once obtaining the signature OF
an opponent on q contract, will be
able to talk turkey with Mr.. Hurley,
Jack knows that he must keep his

Mike McTigue Returns
to Pugilistic Wars
Against Leo L0mski

New York, Feb. 3.-tR-Mike
McTigue, carrying the scars of
some $50 ring battles, returns to
the pugilistic wars tonight in To-
round bout In Madison Square Gar
den with Leo Lomski, hard hitting
youngster Of Aberdeen, Wash, who
aspires to scale the heights Of the
light heavyweight division. Lomski
is favorite at two to one to take the
verdict.
McTipue twice wore the 175-pound
mantle, stripping it from the
shoulders of the singular Senega-
lese. the late Battling Sikh, in 20
round bout in Dublin, Ireland, in
1923.
In 1926, Paul Berlenbach wrested
the title from McTigue in IT,
rounder and the following year saw
the championship pass from Berly
to Jack Delaney in q 15-round tus-
sic.
Delaney voluntarily relinquished
the leadership Of the light heavy
ranks when he found it impossible
to make the 175-pound limit. Then.
the New York State Athletic COM
mission tossed the title back to Nc
Tiguc. ~
Burdened with the age Of 50

but the rugby football players, who
scored what was perhaps the most
astonishing performance, were
barely recognized when they came

Hyland was the big star of the

French by winning the champion

rated in it's class almost as power
full as the New York Yankees.
Little was heard of the playing Of
the Americans in that memorable

Negligence of City
Officials Is Blamed
for Typhoid Epidemic

CLEAN, N. Y, Oct. 9.-Negli-
gence of city officials is held to be
responsible for the epidemic of
typhoid fever which has been raging
in this city for the last IL days. One
hundred and twenty-six positive
cases have been reported and 60 sus-
pected ones are under observation.
while two deaths have occurred.
The epidemic has been traced to
the city water supply, which, it is
said, was never properly purified
despite assurances of city officials
to the contrary.
The inhabitants of this city, who
have been in a state of panic since
the epidemic started, are incensed
at this criminal neglect of matters
that mean life or death to them and
have started agitation for an in
vestigation and the fixing of re-
sponsibility. Several local politi-
clans are attempting to capitalize
this resentment for their own ends
and the investigation, if it is ever
started, is expected to suff@ the
