"Dear Old Public" Is Once More Defeated in a Tri-Cornered Fistic
Battle Royal at the Olympia Wind-up Silent Tribute
to Peace and Henry Ford
That baseball will still havo Its xnlva
tlon to work out, after the settlement of
tho peaco rondltlono, Is tho opinion ot
It. U Hedges, foimorly president of tho
Browns, who from his new viewpoint on
tho outside it-looking In, takes n peep
Into the future of the national game.
Outside of conditions relating to the
lato baseball war, there nro evidences
Unit powerful as organized baseball would
seem to be, It will still have blowholes
In Its armor nnd an Achilles heel, through
which, In the opinion of the former St.
Louis magnate. It may bo dealt serious
blows.
"Haseball's future is certnln to work
out all right son'io day." said Hedges.
"But in tho meantime there are many
things to bo adjusted before It settles
down to a permanently established, non
assailable basis.
Unbalanced League
"Tho adjustment of peace conditions
will cause some annoyance, but It will
be accomplished all right. To my mind
tho chief menace to baseball, under its
present handicaps. Is the presence of. so
much big money behind certuln clubs.
There are in the game today ceitaln
capitalists financially able to force a
winner that Is, n one-two-three club.
Tho power of money back of Sinclair,
Comlskey, Lannln nnd ono or two others
Is such that if they set out to do so
they can corner nil the loose talent, to
the detriment of the weaker owners.
"The wcukllngs, ilnunclally. have no
chanco to get on their feet with feeble
clubs. Vnder conditions today they must,
sooner or later, los-e out. They might he
willing to buy players, hut big capital
heads them off.
"Until some system of shackling the
mllllonaltes nnd for equalizing the dis
tribution of good playing material Is do
vlsed other than tho Investment of lnrge
sums for tho release of talent, the
moneyed lighters of the game alwnj s .will
be able to sticngthen nt tho expense of
tho weaker.
Fence Adjustment
"Of course, this makes for an unbal
anced league and decreased Interest, ex
cept among tho fans of three or four
cities in each organization.
"There are other weaknesses in base
ball which the war 1ms not corrected.
For example, until all the gaps In the
major league circuit are plugged up, an
uttnek by Independents always Is possi
bio. Four years ago I ndvocuted putting
two teums In Detroit, Cleveland, Cincin
nati and Pittsburgh-nil of them growing
cities All will soon he demanding con
tinuous baseball dining tho season, hut
now they boast only one team. I had In
mind two 10-club Icumich. I still think
this a necessary precautionary meusuro
to prevent another wnr.
"Don't think tho danger of war Is
over for good. As long ns there nru
nulck-rlch millionaires growing up aiound
us thero Is a chunco that money can bo
enlisted to support nlmost any enter

THEY settled a long-standing grudge
at the Olympic A. C. last night. It was
a thtee-cornercd affair, with two boxers
and tho Dear Old Public participating.
As usual, tho Dear Old Public got the
worst of It.
Mr. Kddle O'Kecfo and Mr. Lew Tcntl
ler, residents of our city, devoted IS min
utes of their valuable time in an eltort
to settle the argument as to who Is tho
bautnmw eight champion of Philadelphia.
It was it terrible argument, and they
nlmost came to blows. At the end both
! claimants to the title were btcathing
j heavily.
Sir. O'Kecfo put up a miserable exhibi
tion of boxing, and his perfot nuinco was
equaled by Sir. Tendlor. For live and
j nno-half rounds they did ever thing but
slap each other on the wiist, while the
Dear Old Public WO strong maintained
a gloomy silence. At tho end no one
cared who got tho local bantamweight
title. It was an unsatisfactory diaw, and
wo suggest that tho next argument bo
settled by matching pennies or playing
a game of pinochle. The result will bo
mote satisfactory nnd tho contest moro
Interesting.
A Great Success
As n "chnser" tho wlndup was a huge
success. Tho crowd began to leave in
tho second round and before tho time
keeper meiclfully put an end to tho blood
less strugglo In tho sixth only a few of
tho faithful lemained. Among those was
Kmery Titman, who was wetlged In his
sent and couldn't depart until assistance
an Ived.
Before tho light wo Insist on calling It
n light It was reported that largo wads
of legal tender had been wagered on tho
result. It was Impossible to Interview any
of the plungers last night, but It Is sure
to say that none suffered trom heart fail
ure during the contest. The lesult never
was in doubt nnd there was no ehnnco
for u knockout unless n policeman
climbed through the ropes and used his
club. Too bad wo didn't think of this
last night.
nddlo did some excellent dancing In the
llrst round and succeeded In evading
Teudler's vicious left which might have
nnnovod liim nnd It lnnded. It was ti
swell" exhibition of shadow boxing with
two in the cast, and the boys seemed to
enjoy tho exercise
It seemed as If Tcndler was afraid to
lower his much-feared left hand from
his Jaw long enough to take a good punch
at O'Keofc. Kddle, on the other hand,
was unusually slow. Iloth depended on
Jabs, Lewie working a straight right
wliile O'Keefe used his southpaw. Al
though Kddlo started a few drops of
claret from Ills opponent's nose in tho
ilfth frame, there was no real action un
til the final minute, when Tendler shook

JACK MOAKLEY HIGHEST PAID

Cornell Giving Him
About $50,000 for 10

General Belief
JACK SIOAKLEY, the Cornell Univer
sity track coach nnd football trainer, la
the highest paid such olllclal In America.
The fact that Cornell has Just signed him
to a 10-ycar contract undoubtedly means
that this famous wizard In the develop
ment of collego athletes will receive In
the neighborhood of J50.000 for his work
during the next decade.
Not only Is Sloakley unquestionably the
highest paid track coach In the country,
but he Is the llrst man ever to receive
a contract of such length. Sloakley's
last contract was only for threo years.
Hike Murphy at the time or his death
was llnlshlng out a five-year contract at
a salary eald to be more than 15000 a,
year.
While the Cornell authorities have not
made public the amount of Moakley's sal
ary It must be at least J5000 a year Sloak
ley, of courso, Is worth to Cornell all
ho will get. for without doubt several
other universities would take him at a
big salary If they knew him to be avail,
able.
Since the death of the late Mike Slur
phy Sloakley has taken his place hs the
greatest track coach ii America. Since
1903, when Cornell won its first; Intercol
leglato championship, Sloakley's teams
have carried off this honor six times. In
addition to winning the cross-country
championship II timet. If the Olympic
games are ever revived the chances are
that Sloakley will succeed Mike Slurphy
as Its coach.
Ther are two things that make Sloak

coaches He was a first-class sprinter,
middle-distance runner and hurdler in hU
younger days. Then when he took up
coaching he specialized in all the Held
events, and even now, when 52 years of
age, he may be seen swinging an eight
pound hammer Just to teach his men
how to throw the 19-pound hammer. Like

I'.ittlculnr Interest is ecu tied on this
afternoon's Interscholustic League bas
ketball games, us the struggles will de
cide which team Central or South Philly
shall ascend undisputed)- into first
place. At ptesent these tennis, which
meet in Sladonnu Hull, 12th and Wharton
streets, nre tied for llrst place, while
West Philadelphia and Northeast aie
standing on even terms for third.
Although, the victor of the Central
South Philly game will go Into the lead,
a tie for second cannot be avoided, as
two teums will bo on a par with two
victories and two defeats, Last place will
be the fate of tho defeated team In tha
West Phlludelphia-Northeast struggle.
The game at Sladonna Hull Is of par
ticular interest. According to their last
four meetings the downtowners have, u
slight advantage over the Central hoys,
as their last four games thiee last year
and one this season terminated in vic
tories for South Philly.
In the other conflict Coach Keatlng's
Northeasters are expecting to set back
their West Philadelphia opponent, as the
latter, despite n good start, has fallen
down in the league games. Northeast, on
the other hand, has been gradually gath
ering strength, and by virtue of its vic
tory over Uothlehem Prep last Saturday
expects to experience less difficulty here
after and get Into the rac for the chum
plonshlp, which it captured last season.
