Rijph states that he is out to repeat his victory of Inst Sunday at Chicago. o FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS (United Press Service) New York —Enter an old favorite, 1 the New York state boxing commission, the plague of promoters and fighters. Just when Tex Rickard had announced a juicy morsel for the fight hungry fans in the proposed bout August 21 between Benny Leonard and Mickey Walker at Jersey City, the commission has something to say. They have notified Rickard that he is liable to have his license revoked Benny Leonard. Mickey Walker, Billy Gibson et al stand the same chance should the bout take place. While New York lias no sanction over the fight in New Jersey it is the contention of the commission that Walker must fight Dave Shade for the welterweight championship before he risks his crown to the hard slugging Benny. Further announcements are expected today. New York —Louis Angel Firpo, South American heavyweight, who is to fight Harry Wills, will arrive here Monday from his native land ready to start training. Manchester, N. H. —Battling Siki scored a knockout over Russell of New York in the seventh round. It was scheduled to go ten rounds. Both fighters were booed. —o — GOOD GAME SUNDAY.

toter would ensure the success of his sporting event, let him persuade the popular Prince of Wales to <|»ine. Then all he needs to do is dust off the "S. R. O.” signs. There Is something magnetic about . th< British heir apparent which draws folks like flies at a honey jar. He is a better drawing card than Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey and Mary Pickfold roled into one. The British-American polo matches are to be resumed at Meadow Brook this fall, for the first time since 1914, It's been so long since we had these matches that most folks seemed to havo forgotten that polo, especially these international affairs, is the sport of kings and something to go to just to say you've been there. The tickets, which are expensive, weren't going like hot-cakes or anything of the soft. So the United Slates I*olo Association announced that the Prince of Wales would attend. For the next few weeks th? postmen groaned beneath the load of applications for tickets from all parts of the country There was a deluge of letters each morning at the association's headquarters. Everyone and-his wife —particularly his wife.

perhaps-just had to go to see the polo this fall- Telephones jangled continuously with demands of re- . nervations. A few days ago the seat sale was thrown open to the public. And even though the prince's coming is somewhat uncertain, there are practically no seats left for the polo It’s the same way with a light. When Tex Richard was flirting with a calendar, trying to pick the best date for the (maybe) Wills-Firpo ■ fight he bethought himself of nights that were unacceptable and days that wouldn't do. Then he read about the Prince of Wale's coming to this country. and the problem was solved. Tex selected Sept. 5. and immediately laid plans io pwatmde his royal iiigness to attend, knowing full well that if word get around that the prince was to be there, there would be no vacant seats. The chances are that If the prince actually does see the fight, however, it will be in strictest incognito, acicompanied by an announcement that lie will not be there. Considering the unwieldiness of a big fight crowd at night, the authorities are not anxious to take chance with the distinguished visitor's comfort. It has always been a bit of

mystery as whether Wales was pre B sent at the Dempsey-Firp,, B that never-to-be-forgotten night at th B Polo Grounds last summer.
