SATURDAY AFTERNOON. SEPTEMBER 22, 192* M'TIGUE'SMANAGER SUS HE'S TMB BIG CHANCE IN FIGHT Light Heavyweight Champion Fears He May Lose Crown to Macon School Boy FIRST TIME DEFEND TITLE Champion Carries Knockout in Both Mitts, Which May Be Uncorked Any Minute By JOE JACOBS, Manager of Mik e McTigue NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—When Mike McTigue, world’s light heavy weight champion steps into the ring on October 4, at Columbus, to defend his title against Young Stribling, one of his foremost chal lengers, in a ten-round bout to a referee’s decision, he will undoubt edly be taking the biggest chance of his fistic career. Right now, the Irish idol has staring him in the face a fortune of a half million dollars. When it is taken into consideration that the ligjht heavyweight king has I matches pending with Harry Greb, I Tom Gibbons, Gene Tunney and Georges Carpentier, it can readily be seen how easily it would be for him to amass a fortune of $500,-1 GOO. Hence, his coming bout with Stribling is without a doubt a tre mendous risk, as this marks the first appearance of McTigue really defending his crown, in a decision contest, since winning it from Bat tling Siki, who knocked out Geor ges Carpentier. Furthermore, in Stribling, Mc- Tigue will be stacking up against a most dangerous contender. The Macon lad has proven himself a worthy challenger for the world : title by continually scoring notable < victories during the past year. Especially Strib’s senational vic- 1 tory over Jimmy Darcy, who by the I way has held his own with Jeff ‘ Smth, Harry Greb, Billy Shade and Jack Delaney, tends to prove beyond a doubt that he is a most dangerous opponent for the cham- : pion. Nevertheless, McTigue, is more than confident that he will score a decisive victory over tjie Macon lad. Mike is rounding into the best shape of his career, and when 1 he enters the ring at Columbus on 1 October 4, ttye fistic fans of this part of the county will gaze upon the greatest light heavyweight in many years. McTigue, by the way, is a ringer for the great Bob Fitzsimmons, who once held the crown he is now j wearing, not only in build but also I in fighting ability. Mike is built extctly on the lirtes of the great Ruby Robert, namely, thin legs, | no waist line, but with a great pair of shoulders, from which he gets his terrific punching, power. i The champion carries a knockout in both mitts, which he is liable to uncork at any moment.

Kinks O'' ’ Who did Jesse Sweetser meet in the finals of the national amateur championship last year in winning the title? Sweetser deffited Chick Evans 3 and 2 to play. Please explain the exact meaning rtf a stymie? The golf glossary speaks of sty mie in the following manner: “When your opponent’s ball lies in the line of your putt, it is re garded as a symie.” Player on his second shot drives into the rough. On reaching his ball he finds that it is almost unplay able. Some high grass directly be hind the ball practically cuts off the player’s view of the ball after he assumed his stance. The player then pressed down the high grass with his foot, making it possible for him to get a good view of the ball and enabling him to get out of the rough with one stroke. Has the player such a right or is there a penalty for so doing? The player is in error in stamp ing down the high grass, making it possible for him to play his ball out of the rough. In match play such an act would cause the loss of the hole while in medal competi tion there is two-stroke penalty for so doing.

CM URGED HE MAKING AMENDMENTS Nation’s Fundamental Law Not a Thing to Be Tampered With Under Ordinary Conditions (Continued from Page 4) Impeachments are preferred by the House of Representatives which performs the duty ordinarily performed by a grand jury in the courts. The impeachment voted by the House of Representatives, be ing the indictment in the case—the impeachment is tried by the Sen ate, the Senators acting as the jurors in the case. If the Presi dent is being tried, the chief jus tice of the United States Supreme court shall preside over the delib erations of the senate during the trial. The judicial powers are vested in the Supreme court by the United States and such inferior courts as congress may from time to time es tablish. The three great courts of the United States are the Su preme, Circuit and District courts. The Supreme court the court of last resort in our country has nine justices, there are nine circuit courts and many district courts. The judges are appointed by the President, subject to confirma tion by the Senate and hold their offices for life. When the judges have reached the age of seventy and been on the bench for twenty years they can retire with full pay. The United States court has juris diction in all cases' of law and equity arising under the constitu tion, and the laws of the United States Congress and treaties made by the United States Government; all cases affecting ambassadors and consuls; to all cases of admiralty; to controversies to which the United States is a party; to controversies between two or more states; to con troversies between a state and citi zens of another state; controversies between citizens of different states and to all controversies between citizens and foreign states. In all trials where the amount eceeds twenty dollars the liti gants are entitled to a trial by a jury. In criminal cases all defen dants have this priceless privilege. Full faith and credit shall be giv en in each state to the public acts and judicial proceedings of the other states; and when a fugitive flees from one state to another he shall be surrendered to the state in which the crime was committed, upon the requisition of the gover nor thereof. This great funda mental law of our land can only be amended in he following man ner. Congress by a two-thirds vote'of each house can propose amendments to the states. When an amendment is submitted before it can become a part of the con stitution, it must be ratified by the legislatures of t'hre?-fourth of the states or by constitutional conven tions held in three fourths of them. Friends this priceless document has weathered the storms of ages, under it we have grown from a small, struggling nation in a new world to the most influential and respected government on earth and I do not believe it should be lightly handled or amended to meet every ism and passing whim, but should only be changed after thoughtful | and nature deliberation when the 1 welfare of the public absolutely de mands it. The grand old commoner of Eng land, William Gladstone, publicly declared the American Constitution to ’be the ablest, the wisest govern mental document ever penned by mortal man. Should we not rever ence this sacred magna charta and our liberties and do our part to ward seeing that our Government remains a constitutional one so that it may continue to be the hope, the inspiration and the ideal of ail liberty loving people through out the earth. The welfare of the human race depends upon the per petuity of the American Republic. The greatest government God’s Sun ever shone upon. Thou to sail on thou ship of state Sail on O Union, strong great Humanity with all her fears And hopes for future years, Is hanging breathless on thyi fate.
