to fix his scheduled engagement with one
Battling Criss, at Detroit last week, the
great ones misery was increased by a
claim purported to have been made by
Dalv that the latter had taken dive.
The latter charge was made by Daily,
according to an interview printed in the
Ohio State Journal OF Columbus, Ohio,
Yesterday. DAILY, the story said, had
"gone into the tank" for Shires because
he feared being taken for ride If he
failed to yield to request made by a
Shires representative.
Promoter Jim Mullen, Shires and Ed
die Meade of Cleveland, who brought
Daly to Chicago for the fight, all vigor-
ousiy. denied knowing any thing about
attempts to Ak the bout.
Mullen said he would not have
matched Shires with George Trafton II
he had been arranging diving acts for
the base ball player-boxer. He pointed
out that the beating Trafton gave Shires
in the latter's second fight hardly helped
the great ones reputation, or enhanced
his value as drawing card.
Meade denied knowledge Of Days
charge. SAYING 1t was his impression
that he had been legitimately knocked
silly in the first round of the bout
and probably was looking for advertis-
ing II he made such charge. Meade
said he was asked to bring ham
to Chicago as an opponent for Shires
| and selected DAILY, or Gerry (the latter
being his real Nance, because Of his
inexperience.
Shires agreed that Daily had taken a
dive. but insisted 1t was not voluntary
having been induced by stout right to
| the chin.
1T never imagined I'd be willing to
fight again for nothing" Shires said
but If ever meet DAILY or Gerry OF
whatever his name is, I'll slap him
down without mercy and there won't be
any admission charge"

to this one from points as far apart a:

The 400 experts came to Nevada
weeks in advance and peered intently
at both athletes in their training.
Some of them had been watching the
two same gladiators for weeks pre-
vious while they were doing some
preliminary work In California. Some
of these Gentlemen Of the Fancy
were men who had seen many fight

called trained observers.

had refereed some of the most impor-

Meet the Briggs Family

mceG Inc Dr1ggS Famlly
The time is a Sunday in Febru-
ary; the place, the dinner table;
the hour p. m. Dinner has been
announced to members of the
Briggs family and they are more or
less prompt in responding to the
call, depending upon their enthus-
iasm for the meal.
Mother Briggs patiently awaits
her flock. Tom Junior is first to
arrive, for he, fourteen years old
and aspiring to a position on the
high school basketball team, just
never can get enough to eat.
Mothers greatest struggle this min
ute is to keep him interested in
something besides the food on the
table until the rest of the family
is ready. Presently father and
Bill arrive. Bill, aged four, is in
the lead. Bill makes a dive for
his youths chair next to mother
and is properly seated and nap
kined before Doroty, aged eight,
comes dragging in. They are all
soon seated and the meal begins.
The meal itself is fairly typical
not only of other meals in the
Briggs household, but of meals in
many other households. You have
