GardenWithout
Opponent for
Sharkey
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-Out on
the high seas today, on3 man
by the name of Jacob, the man.
ager of Max Schmeling, is
headed for Europe, uttering
threats. Back here in New York,
another by the name of Johns
ton, the manager of Madison
Square Garden, is voiclA9 de-
fiance. Meanwhile, tightening
about it's intended victim is
web of intrigue and the man
in the middle is Jack Suarkey,
the heavyweight champion of
the world.
Mr.. Sharkey is very much in
the middle In fact, hiss due
for a pushing around such as
no peddler's cart ever kl4tW. MIR.
Sharkey being strictly that kind
of a champion. He's the first
title holder in the history Of
the heavyweight division who
not only can't dictate his own
terms but can't even make
others abide by theirs.
Max VS. Baer?
I wouldn't want to say just
what the future means to do
about it: in fact, many a card
will be dealt from t.na deck be-
fore the showdown comes. But,
offhand, it noWs seems p sSible
that it will all wind up by
Schmeling fighting Max Baer
for Jack Doyle in Los Angeles
and then forcing Shaik key to
come in here to defend his title
at reduced rates. That doesn't
sound entirely reasonable, yet
it all depends on who hoids the
winning cards and S1larkey
doesn't now
In spite of everything that was
said yesterday and last night,
Jacobs and Johnston are not very
bad friends. neither are they
very good. They're just a couple
of business men who find the
inevitable scrap of paper" inter
ferring with business and are
taking the necessary measures.
Sharkey has a contract with the
Garden, calling for 42l2 per cent
of the receipts of the next cham
fight, but unfortunately
there Can be no next champion
ship fight without an acceptable
challenger. so the document is
largely a scrap of paper, after
all. 1t needs Schmeling's name
to make it operative and practical
and it neither has Schmeling's
name nor will it get it-at the
terms outlined.
Sharkey Could Assist
Sharkey, of course, could insist
on another man being named but
he probably won't. For, if Baer
ties up with Schmeling, thus
eliminating the only available at
fractions, they could name ten
other men and everybody would
stay away in a body.
The Garden, in other words,
now realizes that it has a con-
tract that can't be closed at it's
terms, and, since it wishes
to cut in on the promotion of
only a big-money fight, it is quite
willing to see what can be done
about making what is technically
known as "other arrangements"
This probably will come to a head
when the time arrives to name
an acceptable opponent, as per
Specifications. and the Garden
finds itself with not even an ac-
ceptable usher.

We are all interested in our
Government and we should all
be interested in helping save

haps you can aid Uncle Sam in
making an adjustment for three
rare pugiliStic prints, lost in the

has been made for $50 each, or
total of $3.50.
Uncle Sam is not trying to
evade payment for the pictures,
which were registered and val
ued at a total of 5000. What
he is trying to do is to make
sure the claim isn't too great,
and in the meantime do the

I'll 7 LOOMS
AS GREAT
BATTLE
By HARRY COSTELLO

Every indication points to one
of the best games of the Washing.
ton football season when George.
town and Western Maryland clash
Saturday in Griffith Stadium.
The Green TerrorS from the hill
country Of Maryland have bet
ter team this year than they sent
to Washington last season.
To date Western Maryland is
undefeated. Some notion of how
strong the Terrors are may be
gained from the fact that they
played a 13-to-13 tie with the
strong Marshall College eleven,
team which has more and better
football material than any OF
Washington's Big Four. This
Marshall outfit is a real football
team in every sense of the word,
and is favored to defeat Dayton
this weekend.
TerrOrs Favored
The Hoyas seem to realize what
job they have on their hands,
for yesterday Tommy Mills or
dered a long drill on blocking and
followed it with scrimmage.
Western Maryland remains an
11-to-10 choice to win the game.
While the Hilltoppers are
battling Western Maryland in the
ballyard, Maryland will be in &C
ton against a rival of % years
standing. st. Johns of Annapolis
is sending a football outfit to Col
lege Park firmly convinced that it
can measure the Old Liners.
The TerpS, thus far rather dis
appointing, are out to start a
march which will retrieve the
season. AS one studies the Mary
land football situation one is
firmly convinced that the Old
Liners will have a greatly i'm
proved team by the early No
Vember games. Green men are
now beginning to develop, team
work is improving with each
practice session and members Of
the squad are gradually adjust
ing themselves mentally to the
demands of competitive football.
C. U. in New York
Maryland is a heavy favorite
to win over st. Johns.
George Washington'S ColoniaI5
departed yesterday for the long
trek to Tulsa, Okla, where they
run into the Golden Tornado of
Tulsa University. The return of
Johnny Fenlon, spark-plug of the
Colonial attack, has improved
G.. WIS chances, but fear pre-.
walls that the long trip will
cause Tulsa to be installed as
favorite.
Catholic University today
stages its final hard practice ses-
sion for the game against Man.

to carry the ball, is a dangerous
team these days, as Manhattan
will probably realize Saturday.
Coached to the minute, the Car
dinals will leave for New York

Chick" Meehan'S eleven.
American University doesn't
know just what to expect when
it clashes with Bluefield Satur.

has it that Bluefield will PROB
ably prove itself in Americans

Saws California
FavOrs Hoover

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. Is. U.D
The favorable reaction to Presi-
dent Hooyer's Des Moines speech
will carry California and Oregon
for the Republicans, Frank Hitch
cock, publisher of Tucson, Ariz.,
declared here last night.
Hitchcock, postmaster general
under President Taft and chair
man of the Republican national
campaign in 1908, is making a
careful political survey.
The immediate effect of the
Presidents Des Moines speech was
to recharge the Republican organ
izations on the coast with a fight
ing spirit, he said. This rejuv-
enation, he added, has had such
a salutary effect tnat not only CAL
ifornia and Oregon will go for
Hoover but perhaps Washington,
too.
Hitchcock conferred briefly with
Vice President Charles E. Curtis
before the latter left for Cheyenne,
Wyo.

Court To Decide
Payment Of Note

Differing opinions on the respon-
sibility for payment of a $500
promisSory note were climaxed to-
day when Pete Sibiglia and Mrs.
Jessie Slbiglia filed suit in super
ior court against Dorcie Mitchell,
asking an accounting from Mitchell
of funds received by him from op-
Grafton Of the Morning Star Dairy
at Brawley, in which the three
people were partners.
The complaint also asked that
Judge H. B. Griffin of the Brawley
justice court be prohibited from
hearing a case filed by Mitchell
against Mr.. and Mrs. Sibiglia, in
volving the note, until the super
ior court case is settled.
The accounting is asked because
The plaintiffs contend that Mitch
ell has converted large sums of
partnership money to his own uses.
The justice court case mention
ed is one in which Mitchell con-
tends that the $500 promiSSory note
was for money borrowed by Mr..
and Mrs. Sibiglia, and that he
signed it only a5 surety. In this
action Mitchell seeks to recover
the $780, asserting he was forced
to pay the note when the others
would not do so.

Dismissal of the suit and judg-

yesterday afternoon closed the

far as the superior court here is
concerned
Mrs. Swink had charged that
Gladys Gay stole her husbands
love. and valued that love at S5C,-

been no settlement, and that Mrs.
Swink and her husband have not
become reconciled.
The futility of collecting any
amount from the defendant, even
in case of judgment against ner,
was given by one of the attorneys
as the reason for the dismissal.
Mrs. Swink was represented by
James w. Glassford and Ernest

Law Enforcement
Showing Better

WASHINGTON, Oct. IS. UP-
Efficient prohibition enforcement,
in the face of wet declarations by
the major parties, continued in
September, the prohibition bureau
reported today.
Convictions for the month stood
at 234 on verdicts of guilty and
5176 on pleas of guilty, compared
with 143 and 2605 in August and
1877 and 1853 in September, 1881,
the bureau announced.
Officials declared the increased
efficiency, in spite of more
marked wet sentiment throughout
the country, was the result of a
more careful building up of cases
against alleged, violators.
Arrests during September were
1876 days, during August 142 days.
