Sports Editor NEW YORK, March 29—McTigue, world's lightweight champion thru the utility of a decision over Bar Siki, meaning less than not was authority today for the moment that he is in excellent dition for his bout with Y Stribling on Monday night the best the average fan w him is that he breaks a car leg. There will be no crocodile shed if McTigue is knocked his shoulderblade by the Geo school boy at the earliest moment. McTigue is the most unpopular fighter that ever laid claim to. Sentimentally, Stribling top-heavy choice in the bout has been advertised as a winning championship meeting. Finally expert opinion has been pressed at odds of 8 to 5 on Tigue, although no one can give plausible reason therefor. Stribbling is half the man he ord implies, he will cakewash the popular decision for Mcfights not, neither does he He is just one of those crabs who folds himself in knot and defies his opponent solve the riddle. A favorite of fate, which p him, foot-loose, in Dublin for Ski match, McTigue is reg by all fistic authorities as a end rate champion, capable of doing a buck and wing it no-decision towns.

WALSH (L N. S Sports Editor) NEW YORK, March 29.—Definite, final and binding arrangements, void only in the event that the hodge breaks a careless leg or something equally drastic, have been made, it was learned today, for the campaign of Epinard, the French Man O’War, on American tracks. The agreement came only after months of negotiation between August Belmon of the Westchester racing Ass'n; James Shevlin of the Queensco Jockey club; Colonel Matt J. Winn, of the Kentucky Jockey club, and Pierre Wertheimer, owner of the horse. It was the latter’s answer to the proposal for a home and home series between the best four-year-olds of the French and American turf seasons but on this side of the water the silence has become oppressive. Harry Sinclair was to have shipped Yest and Grey Lag for a series of races abroad but it is generally admitted now that Harry will do nothing of the kind. He will sit back comfortably with a handful of aces and let Zev get into condition for the Epinard meeting without getting any nearer to England than Jamaica, L. L. The arrangements made call for the first of the series to take place at Belmont Park in September. It will be over a journey of three quarters of a mile with an added value of $25,000. The next race will be at Aqueduct over the mile distance with $25,000 added. This also will take place in September. The scene then shifts to Latonia, where, with $50,000 added they will try conclusions at a mile and a quarter. The field in all three events will be open to three year-olds and upwards on a weight for age basis. This means that the flower of the American thorobred season with Zev, In Memoriam, Grey Lag, Sarazen, St. James or any horse that figures to have the foot for the test, will be sent to the post against the lone invader. This fact will add to the heavy impact against the chances of Epinard, the sea trip, climatic conditions and strange tracks being part of the general burden that proved too great for Paprus, English champion, to overcome in PRICES 10c 25c 35c CHAMP WALKER AT GAME SUNDAY Dan O’Leary, 83, world’s champion walker, will walk 12 times about the bases in 10 minutes at Sunday’s baseball game between Anaheim and Calif. All Stars on the High School grounds. O’Leary’s appearance is expected to lend additional interest to a live contest. CARDS VS. TROJANS LOS ANGELES, March 29.—Bringing to a close one of the largest week-end athletic programs of the year, U. of S. C. track and field squad clashes against Stanford at the Coliseum afternoon. Previous to the cinder meet, U. of S. C. freshman met an all-star aggregation from the Citrus League. Chief interest in the afternoon events will be the 220 yard dash, with the Trojans pinning their hopes on Yale Martz to take the measure of Hale and Campbell. SIGNS UP WILLS NEW YORK, March 29.—Harry Willis, heavyweight title contender, was today signed by Promoter Tex Rickard to fight one of three heavyweights in June or July and also to meet Jack Dempsy for the championship providing he is victorious in his first contest. The three men named as possible opponents for Wills are Ermino Spalla, Italian heavyweight champion; Romero Rojas, Chilean boxer, and Luis Firpo the Argentine giant. LAST NIGHT’S FIGHTS DES MOINES—Harvey Perkins, Casper, Wye., won decision over Jack Ruddy, Chicago, (8). Harold Plude, Des Moines, beat Chick Donovan, St. Paul, (8). the international race with Zev last fall. To discourage the pikers, it has been arranged that the entrance fee will be $250 and that an additional $1,000 must be posted as a starting fee. The closing date for entries has been set at July 15 by the request of Werthheimer, who hopes to have Epinard in training here before that date with Eugene Leigh in charge. A favorite of fate which pits him, foot-loose, in Dublin for Siki match, McTigue is regal by all fistic authorityiles as a end rate champion, capable of doing a buck and wing it no-decision towns. Yet he held his title for more than year. Offered a bout with Tunney upon his arrival in country after the Siki fight developed an injured hand professed the sad details such consistency that the tru is no longer countenanced. Proposed matches with men of likely capabilities likewise declined on one prince another. His former man Joe Jacobs, finally signed he meet Young Stribling in Geordie and the verdict was so close Jacobs lost his job and referee almost lost his life. Who have seen Stribling in a are inclined to believe that southerner probably was not far wrong in claiming the sion. Worse fighters than ling have outstepped McTigue. Meantime McTigue has nothing with marked suit The Stribling affair appara was enough. He has dallied none of the rough boys likeney Gibbons and Carpentier accordingly his title has relied as safe as a hermit’s reation. Faced with the possibility suspension unless he gave evidence or action, McTigue consented to stop Stribling in a no-decision. This meant that the young from Georgia must score a k out or waste a perfectly evening.

As a general rule, success on Broadway does not allow chance of adverse criticism, call-first opportunity of seeing the greatest cinema houses and one of the leading newspaper editors and had them do the final touches. The result is said to mark the dawn of a new day in cinema art and one that has made Carl Laemmle's slogan of "Better and finer productions" an absolute fact. Anaheim tomorrow will have its first opportunity of seeing the massive production which swept into over-night fame in New York and made the critics so far forget themselves as to use up nearly the entire stock of landatory adjectives in the English language in their reviews. As a general rule, success on Broadway does not always spell success here, but local theatre-goers who visited Astor theatre in New York, the first of the metropolitan runs, expressed the opinion that the hit will be even greater here, where Hugo's great work is so widely known. Seems like this is a reflection on Gotham's literary learnings. From all advance accounts Universal has all the ingredients of a great success—a story that is internationally famous, that is replete with action, albeit somewhat gruesome, the greatest of character stars in Lon Chaney, an excellent supporting cast, studio facilities, and unlimited funds. It may be divulging a trade secret, but it has leaked out that Universal to guard against the least chance of adverse criticism, called in the director of New York's greatest cinema houses and one of the leading newspaper editors and had them do the final touches. The result is said to mark the dawn of a new day in cinema art and one that has made Carl Laemmle's slogan of "Better and finer productions" an absolute fact. Lon Chaney, admittedly the finest interpreter of unusual character roles on either stage or screen, plays the stellar part of "Quasimodo," with Ernest Torrence as "Clopin, the underworld king," and Patsy Ruth Miller as "Esmeralda." Seventy-two other noted performers have featured parts, while two hundred players interpret smaller roles with the mob scenes numbering slightly in excess of 3500 persons. Some idea of the immensity of the production can be obtained when it is stated that the entire Cathedral of Notre Dame was reconstructed at Universal City, as well as eight blocks of Parisian streets and houses of the time of Louis XI. The total cost was a trifle less than $1,500,000.

Howard Mannington confidential friend This Praise Stuff Expensive to Jones Seegus Serooney, youthful son of Hami and "uh-fishal" bootback at the Fox Studios in Hollywood, stalked up to Buck Jones one afternoon as the star was leaving an interior set. "Mistuh Jones!" ventured the boy. "Yes, Seegus, what is it this time?" asked Jones. "Mistuh Jones, Ah ain't askin' for nothing, this time, but Ah just wants to tell you what mummy said. Mammy said you is the finest hostbacker what is. Hot steaming' shirt tailles. Mistuh Jones, youse de whale's parasol. I'll tell the world." "Well, here's your dime," sighed Buck. "Thanks, Mistuh Jones. next time you're in town bring me some chocolate covered——" "Cherries——no, wahermelons." Buck's in town now in his new William Fox feature. "Heil's Hole," now running at the Fairyland Theatre, but no "chocolate covered wahermelons" came with him. K. K. K.

Calif. is never more persistent than at present time. Anaheim seems occupy the center of attraction for it seems that it is here next real oil strike is scheded. However, it appears that the western section of the Anaheim is more promising as the Standlard Oil Co. has passed the 4000 ft mark in the Wagner well and Coast Land Company's Milley ill has had some very good showings under the 2100 foot mark. Cypress will bear watching now an oil excitement. The Gaddie Development Company has set water string and rumor has it prior to the setting of the water string there were some very good showings. The Petroleum Midway's showats at Careennita have been exgerated considerably. While the showings were of an encouraging sure the crown block is still in place and drilling has not been continued. At 2960 feet the Careennita well had a showing of drilling is now going ahead at 3250 feet and the showings are ordinary.
