MIKE FACES MARULLO
Veteran McTiguc to Make Appear

NEW YORK. March 26.-Mikc
McTigue, former light heavyweight

himself. While he was fighting his
way to the top nobody gave him an
unkempt tumble. Even when he
stepped Carpenter and Gibbons he
was just another fighter.
The truth is he wasn't a half-bad
fighter at the time, but his abilities
and potentialities were overshadoW-
ed by the glamour of Dempsey who
still held the championship. Nobody
had ever beaten Dempsey, In the
customers mind he was still in
vjncible. He remained that way UNI
til he was beaten. They all do.
II is not easy TO tell with any
degree Of certainty what one
fighter will do against another by
watching them in separate and
detached engagements, except in
cases where marked medi0crity
exists, and then even an expert is
liable to call the turn wrong.
II n
WOU are told today that Mr. Tun-
u ney could take each of the
seven challengers now listed with
the commission and knock them one
after the other into odd and sick
ening shapes, without so much as
ruffling his patrician demeanor.
While this may be, and very like
1y is true, it is we'll to remember
that this is precisely what the boys
In days gone-by said of Sullivan,
COrbett, Fitzsimmons, Jeffries, John
son, Willard and Dempsey. In prac-
tically every case the champion
when beaten was an oddS-on
favorite. That old glamour of in
vincibility still lowered around him.
TUnney was probably better
fighter the night he knocked out
Gibbons than he is today. He was
q great fighter that night but no
body recognized it. In those days
he was an active fighter. He fought
as often as he could get fights. 1t
was this activity that ripened his
greatness and kept him on edge.
Il Il
Tunney now is comparatively
inactive fighter; not so much
through choice as circumstances.
The gaudy finances of the ring
have changed the scheme of
things. 1t takes a year to steam
up these battles of the century,
and as a consequence even when
champion is disposed to fight
more than once a year, as Tunney
was this year, it is difficult to ac-
c0nmOdate him.
FEUNNEY has fought twenty
i rounds in the past two years.
The year before he fought forty
rounds, and the year before that
he was fighting every week. Tun-
ney is essentially a mechanical
fighter, and these kind Of fighters
must keep going all the time in
order to be hot.
Tunney was a better fighter at
Philadelphia against Dempsey than
he was at Chicago. Jimmy Bron-
son, his chief second, said he was
% per cent off. He looked all of
that. Study the pictures of that
fight and you will see he missed
one right-hand swing after another
some of them, awkwardly delivered,
by foot-wide margins.
What did that? Inactivity. A
year out of the ring. Nothing else.
Physically and psychologically he
was better than he was at Philadel-
phia. But lack of actual fighting
work had robbed him of his usual
sharpness in hitting and judging
distance.
4 u
There is no reason to believe he
will be any better making his
first start this year. On the con-
trary, he is likely to be worse.
The chances are he will win, all
right, but he won't have any
rOmp-nO matter who is in the
other corner.

to have been killed in the tropical hur-
ricane which hit st. Croix Thursday,
leaving 5000 persons homeless. One
hundred persons were injured. All the
casualties were native negroes.
In the chief commercial centers of

1t was the worst hurricane that ever
struck the islands.
Villages were razed. Several large
estates were wiped out and planters
houses destroyed. Sugar factories were
damaged and the sugar crop destroyed.
Boats in the harbor of Christiansted
we're either sunk or driven ashore. The
cable, radio, telephone and light plants
were put out of commission. Streets and
roads were blocked by fallen trees and
debris. Housing conditions are deplor-
able. The government house escaped
serious damage Food supplies were
thought to be adequate today.

which the wind reached velocity Of
from 80 to 100 miles an hour. When the
hurricane began at midnight Thursday
the wind was blowing from the north
east. After six hours it changed and
blew for six more hours from the south
west. The barometer dropped to 1855.
A torrential rain continued for 40 hours

ROMA MAY START
OVER OCEAN TODAY
italian Plane Is Ready for
Hop.0ff at Old Orch
. ard, Me.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
OLD ORCHARD, Me, September II.
The crew of the Bellanca monoplane
Roma hoped to be winging their way
to Rome some time before nightfall
today.
Word late yesterday from Pietro
Bonelli, radio operator and navigator
of the expedition, that suspicious
weather was at hand and that he was
speeding here from New York City,
where he had been in consultation with
Government weather experts, spurred
his three companions to immediate
activity.
The big plane, in which the four Will
endeavor to negotiate the 4,oOU-mlle
trip, was taken from Scarboro Flelo,
near Portland, for test flight, during
which it made a landing here. At the
conclusion of the flight the machine
was pronounced in readiness.
Fourteen hundred gallons OF fuel
must be poured into the tanks, but that
was practically all that remained to be
done.
The expedition is headed by Cesare
Sabelli, former flight lieutenant in the
Italian air forces during the war but
now an American citizen. Roger @.
williams of Richmond Hills, N. Y, a
Curtiss Field pilot, will be the chief
pilot, while Dr. l.. M. Pisculli OF New
York, one of the financial hackers OF
the expedition, will observe the effect
in a physical way of the strain OF the
flight on the other three.
The Roma is land plane and is
not equipped with pontoons. In event
of a forced landing it's chief reliance
must be on the bouyancy of its gasoline
tanks. It's crew admit that their chances
will be slim if they are forced down
in a rough sea.
Sabelli announced that the Roma
would broadcast hourly. The plane Is
equipped with a 60-400-meter set
capable of sending a message 1000
miles. The call number Is WRCA.
