Siki Rises From "Wharf Rat"
to High Place in Fistic Ring
High average Castelluccio, 177. High score Castelluccio, 206.
By FRAXK G. KEXKB The son of a jungle inmate; a oncetime wharf rat; then a house servant; later a bottle washer in a restaurant; then a soldier in the thickest of the European fighting and now a fistic champion of the world. That's the story of Luis Fall, otherwise Battling Siki, the monkey-facei Senegalese. There's enough material in the life story of Siki to form the skeleton work of a thousand ring romances. And apparently there's enough of the freaklshness in hi3 mode of living and hi method of training to keep American sporting writers busy for weeks if the negro ever should come across to these shores. The grandfather of Siki was a real two-fisted inhabitant of the jungles of Senegal. He was captured in his wild state by the Moors and taken into slavery. Tfie father of Siki likewise was a slave but, according to accounts, escaped 'and made his way back to the jungle lands of Senegal. Goes to St. Louis There he lingered for a while but eventually meandered into St. Louis, the little seaport town of Senegal.
There it was that Luis was born in December, 1899. His earliest years
were spent around the wharves and the sea front.. His earliest income was derived from begging small coins from tourists who got off the ocean liners there. His earliest fighting was on the docks whenever other boys tried to take, from him his beggar's earnings. Siki was eight or nine years old when a German opera singer took a fancy to him, after seeing him in a fight on the dock She made a quick
deal with his parents and, as a result,
highest of honors which France can
bestow upon its war heroes.
When the, war had concluded Siki
went back to France and for a tim
resumed his work in, a restaurant
Then, with the fistic ambition still
stirring him. he started on a tour which
took him to Rotterdam, Amsterdam
Berlin, Hamburg, Brussels, Barcelona
Anvers, and Algiers. He fought any
thing or anybody who climb into the
ring with him
Then Siki returned to France with
quite a reputation as far as reputa
tions go. He had engaged in 45 bat
ties and had lost but two. Good Press Agent
He had an enthusiastic and agil
press agent. This press agent insis
ed that Siki was good enough to beat Carpentier. He insisted so loudly that
mere became a public demand for
fight. No one really thought that
Siki had a chance, but so much stuft
had been written about his freakish
ness that the promoters figured that
his monkey-face tacitcs in the ring together with the presence of Car pentier, would provoke a big crowd
So the fight was staged and Siki
knocked out the once-time idol
France and now is a world's chani
pion,
In all ring history there has been
no fighter who has. a pose like that of
the Senegalese. A sporting expert of
trance, who has seen him on several
occasions, in attempts to describe him
at work said:
"Imagine a monkey taught how to box and that's Siki in the prize ring." Siki crouches low with head down and hands covering. He remains in that position even as he hops around
the ring. Sometimes he goes a fu'l

Notre Dame Goes South
With 3 Starr Injured (By Associated Press) SOUTH BEND, Ind.. Oct 26. The Notre Dame football squad, with
Deck, Maher and Lieb, three of its' star linesmen absent, due to injuries, left her this morning for Atlanta, where it will engage Georgia Tech in one of the most important games of the football season. The contest is creating widespread interest in this section, as it is expected to be the acid test for this year's Notre Dame eleven. Coach Rockne lost practically all of his last year regulars and has molded the present team out of raw
material. The squad has not lost a
game so far this season, but has not encountered opposition of the calibre expected from the Georgia aggregation. H err on Prepares Reserves For Fight With Aggies BLOOMINGTON, Ind.. Oct. 26. Another scrimmage session was on tap for the Indiana university football team today, with the reserves again expected to furnish opposition for the freshmen. The second string men
were sent out against the yearlings yesterday and failed to show much offensive or defensive power. . Coach Herron is sending his reserves against the freshmen to develop a strong reserve for the Michigan Aggies contest Saturday.
BiUy De Foe, Featherweight, Has Struggled For Fame
But Never Reached His Mark
NEW YORK, Oct. 26. The light of
one of the little men in the ring game today is being hid under a bushel for some reason or other.
The cent is Billy De Foe. Some un
kind trick of fate has kept him out of
the spotlight has denied him the fame
that many fighters with nTQch poorer
records have basked in. Big purses
have been for everyone but him.
De Foe has been fijrhting nine years
In that time he has met scores of good
featherweights and lightweights, yet
he is still struggling in the fistic back
ground.
De Foe is 28. He was brn m Min
neapolis, but when he was still a little lad moved across the river to St. Paul.
He started boxing in 1913 October, to
be exact-at the time when Mike Gib
bons, Johnny Tilman, other boys who later gained prominence, were starting
out from the Minnesota cities, in the
years since he has had over 100 real; battles. . I
Gained Decision. The fact that he received a newspaper decision over Johnny Dundee in 1920 indicates how good a battler he came to be. The nearest he ever came, to real fame, however, was when -he finally obtained a match with Champion johnny Kilbane. As far back as 1917 he was ready to break into fame. Paddy Mullins signed him for a title battle with Johnny Kilbane, feather king, in Brooklyn. De
Foe figured his chance Had come.
Then Kilbane fought Johnny Drummie
in Waterbury just before time to meetj De Foe and injured one of his kingly hands. De Foe insists, and many of his friends believe, that Kilbane pleaded the injured hand to stave off a bat
tle with De Foe. Be that as it may, De Foe's big chance went glimmering. De Foe lost another chance to meet Kilbane when the Minnesota lad licked Johnny Rini, a Kilbane protege, in Cleveland some time ago. It is believed that Rini was sent in as a trial horse. Now De Foe -is angling for a bput with Johnny Dundee for the junior lightweight title. But he isn't any more sure of a match with the money it might bring than he has been of any match in his struggling career.
IOWA GAME LOOMS UP;
PURDUE ON OFFENSIVE
LAFAYETTE. Ind.. Oct. 26. Coach
James Phelan. Of the Purdue University football team has begun laying the foundation of next year's football team
now. Hampered this year by inexperienced material.: which however. Is
making a gaod showing; despite Its greenness, Phelan this week began an innovation that will be a great help to him when he begins building his 1923 eleven. Seventeen members ' of the freshmen varsity this year have been issued regular varsity equipment, and from now on until the remainder of the season, these men, and others of the fresh varsity, which numbers 42 men, will work out daily with the regular Varsity. In this way they will come tinder
the critical eye of the Purdue coach at every practice, and when he opens up the 192? campaign, his sophomores should be airything but green, and they will have had the advantage of learning Phelan's system first hand before beoming bona fide membtrs of the regular team. Stresses Offense Phelan will stress particularly this year, and also in spring practice next April, offensive work. The defensive play of the Purtiue varsity, this year, and in fact for several years past, has been well above the average, but the attacking department of the Boilermaker machine has not functioned with the same efficiency as haa the
defensive. The freihmen material
this year is quite good, and it would seem that in 1923 Purdue eleven should: be much better balanced next year than is this Squad. The innovation inaugurated by Coach Phelan has proved extremely interesting to close followers of the game here, and they will watch its development with great interest.

he reaches up with a hook punch. If
he hits, he stays in. If he misses, he resumes the old position until such time as he makes another successful try for the jaw or. the body of his opponent. Once on the attack it is said that Siki is a terrifying proposition. He simply leaps at his opponent with arms whirling and milling with cyclonic powei. His face takes on the expression of a beast, and there are
times when he utters what is des
cribed as "shrill cries." He seems
impervious to pain and can take everything the other man hands out when he is hit hard, it seems to do nothing other than to infuriate him.
