5TRIBLING- SQUIRES
GO IS HEAVY TEST

Jay the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September Civilian
Lawrence Stribling of Macon, Ga, the
man of a hundred knock-outs, fights
Johnny Squires of South Africa in Mad
ison Square Garden tonight.
Tex Richard considers this 10-round
bout as one of his heavyweight elimi-
nations and promises much better
performance by Stribling than the
Georgian is accustomed to delivering in
the Metropolitan district. The South
ern light-heavy has been unfortunate
in the past in showing himself at his
worst in front of his biggest crowds
in New York.
The stock Of Roberti, italian heavy
weight protege of Hombert FugaZy,
was at a low mark today following
his failure to stop the veteran King
Solomon in the feature bout at Ebbets
Field last night before a small circle
of spectators. The Italian gaint won the
decision by wide enough margin, but
seemed clumsy in doing it.
Roberti slammed Solomon to the floor
for no-count early in the fight, but
himself slipped and fell to the canvas
In the tenth, when wild swing missed
the Panama fighters well-hidden jaw.
Solomon was wildly cheered at the end
of the tenth for lasting the string out
against FugaZy'S man-killer.

None Finish Marathon Swim;
Michel Last to Quit Water

New York won a 10-mile marathon for
women in hours and IL minutes
It was reported that Michel quit the
lake last night only after hearing re-
port that he would be eligible for the
s25 900 Wrigley first prize as soon as he
covered a greater distance than Vier-
koetter had achieved. 1t was also said
that upon being hauled into his boat ne
mumbled: I'm all in.
AS he Law in the launch bundled IN
blankets. however he demanded: why
didn't thev let me finiSh?" After being
revived at the Yacht Club Hospital
Michel was driven to his lodgings in a
private motor.
The impression gained ground among
100000 spectators on shore that Mlcnei
would receive the prize. An unauthor-
lied statement had gone over the radio
asserting that the Frenchman would win
the moment he passed Vierkoetters
mark. but Elwood Hughes. sports dlrec-
tor of the Canadian exposition. which
sponsored the two Swims. announced
that Michel would not collect the nrst
prize.
The disposition of this money and the
$4,000 in secondary rewards would
have to be decided by the committee,
Mr. Hughes added. He left the I'M
to the athletes.
Michel was the fourth leader to quit
the swim Norman Ross, pace-setter
| for the first five miles. was forced TO
give up soon after George Young passed
| him at the five-mile bouy, and Young
| himself passed out after showing the
way for one and one-half miles. This
cleared the way for Vierkoetter to lead
for five and one-half miles until he was
removed from the water at SAP pm.
Then with the withdrawal of Tegt-
meir and Matthias. the field was left
alone to Michel until he himself was
| forced tc give up at 1914 pm.

Va YEW YORK. September 6.-Ro-
N berto Roberti had matters
pretty much his own way In
| winning the award over KING
Solomon after 10 rounds OF
Ionsided fighting at Ebbets Field. Brook
lvn, last night The expected knock
out of the King of Panaman Syrlans
failed to materalize and Robertis root
ers had little to brag about as tney
wended their way out of the pail PARK.
ANY one of the first flight heaVy-
weights could have duplicated the giant
Italians feat in whipping the washed
up Solomon and probably ADDED more
trimmings than Roberti did. Inc only
thing resembling knockdoWn came IN
the third round. Solomon was back
nedalino out of the furious lunges of
Roberti when a resounding whack on
the ribs sent him to the floor IN
Sitting position. Solomon rose before
a count was taken and outsmarted the
failing Robert by rolling his head out
of the way of the swinging blows.
One round was about as interesting
as the other. Solomon started MS
punches too far away to do any DAM
age, and as the blows fell short Robertl
came to close quarters and belted tne
Kings body and cuffed the head with
short, clublike blows.
In the sixth round Solomon landeo a
wild swing on Roberts hip. The Itahan
crimaced with pain and tried to gain
the referees sympathy. Kid McPartland
ordered the fight to go on and several
other blows in the lower part OF the
body rubbed the smile off Roberts con-
fident face.
The match was poor one Tor Rooertl
After all the talk that has been going
the rounds, due to a win over John
Risko on a foul Roberti was handed
soft one and, as is usually the case, the
supposed soft one disclosed glaring weak
neSses in the stars armOr. Robertl mas
a bad habit of getting cross when the
pace becomes hot and draws his forearm
across his opponents face. Sometimes
the forearm is used as punch, and. as
every one knows, this Is foul. Another
thing. Roberti is not raging giant UNI
less he is properly stung. Solomon could
not hurt the big fellow, who outweighed
him 80 pounds, and Roberti was able to
60 the route with nothing worse to show
than cut under the eye.
Paolino Uzcudun was at the rlngslde
and watched every move of the big
Italian. Paolino's golden smile was very
much in evidence. as he noted the eff
feet of SolomonS body blows on Robert
The Basque may get the offer to fight
Roberti on Columbus day, october IL.
Paolino told the writer he would gladly
accept the match.

has made several attempts TO oust
Howard from his acknowledged posi-

cial assistant attorney general and
recognized republican leader in Mis-
sissippi on an indictment charging
conspiracy to violate the law pro-
hibit;ng sale Of federal offices was
