Battling Siki, dark blot on the Carpentier 'scutcheon, lost the light heavyweight championship of the world in Dublin on St. Patrick's Day to Mike McTigue, third-rate American fighter. In the 17th round of the scheduled 20, the Senegalese faltered about the ring, groggy before McTigue's punches, finally falling into a clinch to hug himself safe from a knockout.

...with world. Plebian "ain't" appears in Thackery, apparently quite good form. While if the beaux and macarouss of Pope's day were to appear today and tald as they did in the drawing rooms of London, and ordinary American might well imagine they were telling more Pat and Mike stories...

The Tigers lose only five men who could in any way be regarded as regulars or first string substitutes by graduation this year. "Mike" Callahan, captain of the 1920 team, and "Joe" Scheerer, the famous punter, are the two greatest losses Princeton will feel. Stiuson and Davis on the ends and Halsey at tackle are the only other men of importance to go. But Thomas is capable of filling Calshan's shoes, while with...
