New Worry Now for
Siki’s “Entourage”
DUBLIN. March 9.—Batiling Siki
is ‘said to be in danger of developing
"writers’ cramp" from signing auto-
graphs. To the grout snrpriso of his
manager, several hundred light fans
of both sexes have exhibited an in-
tense desire to carry off the signa-
ture of the Senegalese fighter as a sou-
venir of the forthcoming battle bca
tween Siki and Mike Mchguc.
Siki writes painstakingly. not to say
laboriously and likes to stick out and
roll his tongue during the process.
\Vhat Dublin has learned to call his
“entourage" is inclined to some 'ncr-
vousness lcst somebody jog Siki's el-
'bow during the operation and thus
compel him to bite his tongue off.
\Vhilc populnl- opinion seems loyal
to McTigue, the Negro fighter is prov-
ing deeply interesting to the Irish
fans.
