JOHNNY MOLONEY DEFEATED
BY O'DONNELL; BROTHER STOPS
BOUT INTHE FOURTH ROUND
Former Amateur Champion Makes Good Showing
, at Olympia A. A., But Makes Mistake
When He Mixes With Veteran
By noBEirr
JOHNNV MOLONEY Is the world's cham
pion 126'poumt amateur boxer. He
didn't lose that title at the Olympia last
nignt, mit it la the only
thing he got away
with. His professional
debut was not a howl
lnft success, for he re
mained with Mr.
O'Donnoll, a voter who
resides In Gloucester,
only 10 minutes nnd
3 seconds In tho
featuro act of Mr.
Kdwards's opening
show of the season.
Johnny was supposed
to stick around for 18
minutes, but ho had a
ilato or something and
left early, long before
his tlmo was up.
II. V. MAXWUU,
Moloney lost his first professional battlo
to Knockout O'Donncll In tho fourth round.
lie was not knocked out, but was stagger
ing around tho ring helpless, his knoes
sagging nnd with a glassy stare In his
eyes. Ills arms hung limply at his sides
and he was powerless to defend himself.
Brother Stops Bout
O'Donnell had dropped him for tho count
of nlno a short tlmo before and was ready
to launch his crushing right against tho
unprotected Jaw of the youngster, when
Teddy Moloney, his brother, used good
Judgment nnd stopped tho bout. This round
had gono but 1 mlnuto nnd 3 seconds.
Tho losor put up a good bnttle for three
rounds, but wns unnbla to copo with tho
experienced veteran. It wns the old story of
an Inexperienced youngstor, full of con
fidence, trying to outguess a seasoned boxer.
It can't ho done. Thero Is only one placo
to got experience, ntl that la In th- prlzo
ring. Tho gymnasium Is nil right for a
time, but tho hard knocks will como later In
tho actual battles against real opponents.
Lacked Experience
Johnny Moloney lost last night not be
cause he wns n poor boxer, but because
he lacked tho ring craft to carry him
through tho tough places. Ho showed that
he Is an exceptional boxer, can hit with
either hand, but did not mnke tho most of
his natural ability. Had he stood off and
boxed Instead of mixing It at closo quarters,
thero might have been a different story to
tell: but ho pin fad tho other fellow's gamo
and camo to grief.
This Is not tho first tlmo a youngster has
been conquered by experience. Moloney's
defeat recalled to us tha fato of Kd Casey,
the Vlllanova athlete, who fought his first
fight nt tho National some years ago against
Al Kublak. CaBey was a wonderful boxer,
as strong and husky ns any heavyweight In
the world, yot ho was battered helpless until
Jack McQuIgan stopped tho uneven bnttlo.
Casey camo back afterward and did soma
good work, and Moloney should do tha
same.
For two rounds, Johnny performed Ilka
a champion. He Jabbed O'Donncll at will,
showed him up with his clever footwork nnd
had tho huge crowd that packed the club
cheering frantically for their favorite.
Moloney was his foe's superior at long
range, and ho should nave stuck to that
ljno of attack. However, his Inexperience
caused him to mix It at closo quarters and
that spelled the end.
Lost Bout in Third
Johnny lost tho bout In the third round,
and one punch that ho landed on O'Don-

SCRAPS ABOUT SCRAPPERS
By LOUIS H. JAFFE
"Moloney made the mistake of fighting
O'Donnell Instead of boxing htm." waa Johnny
Ertle'a comment last nlsht utter the match at
the Olympia. Laat year Krtle defeated O'Don
nell. outfighting him. and as It la probable tho
pair will net together again this year the Kewplo
may depend on aclcnce lnatead of slugging; It
they meet again.
A near riot occurred on Moloney'a nay to his
dressing room, when a frenzied apectntor elled,
"You're some amateur champion! Why. you're
a buml" Almost every one near the man took
a punch at him. It Is aald even a policeman
dug his club Into the disturber's rlba.
Johnny" Lockney, wjio trained Moloney for his
professional debut, says he and Teddy Moloney
almost pleaded with the former amateur cham
pion to box O'Donnell from the distance. The
youngster waa too anxious to make a decided
Impression. ,nnd his one thought was to knock
out O'Donnell, says Lockncy.
O'Donnell proved that he Is 100 per cent Im
proved as a boxer, and Joe Ilium. K. o.'q
trainer. Is the man who deaerves a lot of credit
for the aiouceater lad's brilliant showing.
O'Donnell's Judgment of distance was better
than at any time In bis entire career, as was
the precision of his punches. Joe was figured as
"the biggest sucker" that, could have been
picked for Moloney to outbox, but the Jerseylta
pulled the unexpected.
Another effort waa made to lower the colors
t liantam Champion Kid Williams on a foul
by backers of Young Mendo. whom the Haiti
morean knocked out in Ave rounds In Iluffalo last
night. lteports from the battleground this
morning stated that a cry of foul" was
started after Williams had beaten Mendo to the
floor with a aeries of body smashes, but the
referee ruled all the punches were above the
belt.llne. It was Williams's first bout of the
season. His next scrap will on Monday after
noon In Ilaltlmore, opposed by Frankle Brown,

more than holding hta own when K. O.
rushed him and landed several hard blows
to tho body nt close range. Moloney fought
back nnd as they broko from a clinch ho
shot out his right nnd caught O'Donnell
as he was going nway. Tho blow did not
hurt K. O.. but It caught him off balance
and made him stagger. Thinking ho had
his opponent In bad shape, Johnny toro
after him to nntsh tho fight right there.
This was whnt O'Donnell had been wait
ing for. Moloney tried to land a right to
the Jaw, but tho Gloucester boy stopped
back nnd whipped a terrific blow to
Johnny's head, which staggered him.
Following up his advantage, ho struck

to the floor, rested on one knee, while ho
supported himself by grabbing the ropes

him, waiting to send over the blow that
would finish him. Ucforo It could land,
tho bout was stopped.

HEINIE ZIMMERMAN GOES TO
GIANTS IN EXCHANGE FOR
DOYLE AND TWO RECRUITS
Weeghman, Disgusted With Eccentric Star, De
cides Not to Send Him to Pennant Contender
and Shifts Him to McGraw
By CHANDLER D. MCHTEIt
CHICAGO, AUU. 29.
HEINIE ZIMMEUMAN, slugBlnE third
baseman of the Cubs, has bean traded,
but not to tho Phillies. Ilclnlo went to tho
Giants In a deal consummated shortly after
Manager Moran had lost all deslro to pro
cure this star after an outburst of temper
which proved conclusively that ho would not
aid In bringing about harmony In any team.
Tho Cubs received Larry Doylo, votcran
second baseman of tho Giants; Outfielder
Jacobson and Inficlder Hunter In oxchanga
for Zimmerman. Zimmerman left for Cin
cinnati, whero he Is scheduled to piny w.th
the Giants against tho Ileds this nfternoon.
Doylo will get Into the gamo with the Cubs
today.
Zimmerman was tho Phils' property for
the asking and It almost Is certain that
Manager Moran's proposition would have
been accepted by the Cubs and that the
Phils would havo been satisfied If the tcm
permental Heinle had not butted In nt tho
wrong tlmo. As It stands we think tho
Phils nro mighty lucky that "Zlm" was
added to tho Giants' roster and wish that
tho Dodgers or Ilraves had landed him.
Weeghman wanted ovorythlng In sight for
Zimmerman when Moran first talked to him
yesterday. His first proposition was for a
trade for uancroit, even up. ins seconu
waB for Cooper and two pitchers, or Cooper,
an Inflelder and a pitcher. Moran listened
to all, but could not see them. Finally
Weeghman Bald ho would be satisfied with
Stock and Nlchoff.
No Chance, Says Moran
Moran Informed Weeghman that there was
not a chance for him to pull any of the four
deals mentioned and made Weeghman n
proposition. Tho Cub owner told Moran
that ho would think It over. So certain was
Weeghman that ho had pulled a great deal
that ho Informed Chicago scribes that Zim
merman would be with the Phils, and so
he would have If Heinle only had kept out
of the limelight.
Moran refused to oven consider a trade
Involving Bancroft and Cooper, because he
believes that these two players have years
of great ball playing In them and will be
tho foundation for a great team In tho fu
ture, even though the brilliant shortstop of
1915 is not playing consistent ball, nor fol
lowing instructions offensively. Cooper Is
not rated so highly In Phllly, because he
failed to burn things up when given a brief
opportunity, but Moran thinks he will be
one of the greatest outfielders In the gamo
In another year.
That other managers agree with Moran
Is evident,, as no fewer than three western
leaders have talked trade with Moran, and
all of them wanted Cooper, whose Kederat
League work earned him many admirers
among scouts and managers. To date
Cooper has not shown the Phllly fans the
form that warrants Moran's predictions, but
he surely looked like a star in the tnree
games he has played In the West.
How "Zim" Was Queered
Here Is the real and only correct version
of the story that queered Zimmerman so
far as the Phillies are concerned. Yester
day morning "Zlm" came down to the La
Salle Hotel, where the Phillies are quar
tered, and loudly proclaimed that he wanted
to join Moran I that he could play for
Moran, and Insisted upon being with the
champions,
Heinle made a hit with this statement, as
the Phllly players had visions of harmony,
with the great "Zlm" clouting the ball to
all parts of the field; but when they arrhed
at the ball park In the afternoon they found
Zimmerman making a speech for the ben
efit of a lot of "fans" to the effect that he
was going to block the deal Unless he was
given a new contract, a bonus for signing
the same and everything but the clubhouse
in Phllly,
Just about this time Charley Weeghman,
owner of the Cubs and a real sportsman,
passed by and tapped his forehead, wink
ing knowingly to Charley Williams, secre
tary of tha club. Heinle spied Weeghman,
who was talking to a friend at the time,
and shouted, "'Here, you, I want to see you."
Weeghman Surprised
Weeghman feigned surprise and was wait
ing for Heinle's bluff. The thlroaacker
threatened to balk the deal unless he was
given a large sum of money, wanted a three
year contract (evidently fo&ettlng that the
Feds are out of existence) and started tell
ing Weeghman just where be was going
to play.
Zimmerman's attitude did not make
much of a hit with Weeghman. who is, if
nothing else, one of the gamest and nerviest
men tn baseball, despite his brief experience,
C? ollKeJfc?M TMAV V. JBrBKt2efr.BBHBrjnlr3H
iiTriilP" ii f V I , :
CDTJO
nnd ho figured that Zimmerman waa trying
to pick a qunrrel. As n witness to tho wholo
affair, we would say that Weeghman won a
quick decision without oven going to the
mat.
Tho conversation was such that It would
not bear repeating but It sulllces to nay thnt
Weeghman left Zimmerman standing be
wildered and promptly Informed him that
ho would seo to It that ho did not tnke part
In n world'B series this season, Zimmerman
having acused the Cub owner of trying to
hold up tho deal until nfter September 1 so
that he would not bo eligible to take part In
tho scries according to the National Com
mission ruling.
During tho course of tho conversation. If
ono could call It such, Wecghmnn Informed
Zimmerman that It It was posslblo nnd that
otnor magnates were not such "boneheads"
to bid for him, he would chase htm out of
tho game.
Pat Calls Off Deal
Manager Moran was not sleeping during
this llttlo battle of words, wh cli took placo
beneath tho stand, and, aided by Weegh
man, who did not want to favor Zimmerman
by trading him Into soma world's scries
money, called off all negotiations, knowing
that Zimmerman Vna looking out only for
h msclf nnd was not considering his future
manager or team mates.
Thero was great rejoicing In tho Phllly
camp last night when It was learned that
Zimmerman had been traded to tho Giants.
Tho Phils aro a happy family, with tho
greatest harmony prevailing, nnd to a man
they bellove that they can and will win the
pennant w thout Zimmerman and are glad
there will be no change In tho club roster.
Manager Moran also breathed a sigh of
relief today and said that he was glad ho
did not have to part with any of the boys,
as he felt certain that Alexander and Illxey
would pull them through.

'REAL' CHAMPIONSHIP ASSURED
BY PULL WESTERN-DELEGATION
IN BIG MERION GOLF CLASSIC
Stars of Hills and Plains
on Their Way Here
'Cam' Buxton Feted
By SANDY McNIBLICK
THERE will be few absentees from the
ranks of the western stars In the coming
national golf champtonshop at Merlon.
Word hnn Just come to Howard W. Perrln,
vlco president of the United States Golf As
uoctatlon, to this effect from the president
of the Western Golf Association.
Tho western delegation will be headed by
no less lights than Chick Evnns, United
Stnten open chnmplon, besides alt the good
players of tho western States, there will
bo n number of more or less obscure stars
who will nppcar In these regions for the
first time,
A complete list of westerners, added to
the assurances of tho presence of tho best
talent of the South and the Atlantic sea
board, mnkes It certain that tho champion
ship next week will bo ono of the fastest
ever held and that It will be a "real" cham
pionship. Some Reason
Ono reason for Hie big list of westerners
Is explained by the fact that the champion
ship of tho Western Golf Association was
held this year In California, a rather remote
spot, even for most of tho westerners.
For this reason most of the stars on the
other sldo of America have not had a
chance to play In a big golf event this year
nnd hnve saved up their vncatlonn, as well
aa expenses, for tho national, choosing It In
preference to the western.
Inhnbltnnt.t of tho real Far West wcro
undor llttlo trouble In entering tho wsctern
In contrast with former years and some nro
expected to mnke the cross-country tour
Blnco tho western did not cast thorn tho
usual trouble.
From tho same general direction camo
tho Pittsburgh delegation yesterday, headed
by "Hill" Fowncs, n former national cham
pion, and "Eb" Dyers, of tho same proud
title.
They started their practice yesterday
over tho east courso with Davison Horron,
the bulky Prlncotonlnn, and golf expert.
Youthful Marsdon waa alBo In the match.
Fowncs, who likes tho Merlon course great
ly, having beaten Frnncls Oulmet In tho
Lesley Cup matches thero last year nnd
having only been beaten by Travors tho
next day by the nnrrowost of margins, wns
shooting out some great balls and tho vet
eran of many n champlonahlp will doubtless
bo one of tho hardest to dla In tho boutlng
next week,
Frantic Scoring
Oswald Klrkby, pride of the Metropolitan
district, and favored son of the enst for
tho title, has had several rounds nt tho
Merlon Club In tho last few days, and
startled tho gathorlng this week when ho
shot a 70 over tho cast course. This Is
the best nmntour scoro made on the main
links of tho club, so far as could be
learned.
It wns made, of course, from tho short
tees and under Idea conditions, with per
hnps not every one of the putts holed out,
but It shows tho type of golf tho New
Yorker Is shooting. His card, as gleaned
from tho ready memory of his caddy, fol
lows :
Klrkby
Out ...3G43B43G 3 36
In. ...4 2334453 43470
Tar
Out ...45445434 3 36
In. ...4 4434443 43470
Klrkby played with E. Mortimer Barnes,
R. C. James and Lewis Livingston. Rain, In
tho opinion of the pros nt tho course, will
make tho courso four or five strokes harder,
and tho back tecs will add other strokes to
those who would better this mark In the
qualifying round.
Reynolds had n 74 while playing with
Norman Maxwell, Philadelphia's youthful
prodigy, Reynolds then went to tho east
course and drove a hot liner around tho
slight curve right up to the trap guarding
tho first green. Tho Philadelphia expert
will bear watching.
Ono of the best scores yet shot over the
west course by the gathered aspirants was
that of Wnlter Reynolds yesterday, one
of tho best local hopes.
List Gigantic
The entries to the national closed last
night In the New York offices of tho United
States Golf Association and the committee
is hard nt work making the pairings of
tho record entry list
It was said on Saturday, unofficially, that
the list totaled 205 nnmes, which will be
a record for fair. The committee at Merlon,
when Informed of this stupendous total,
said, that It had figured by starting at 7
o'clock to be able to take care of II en
tries, but that would be about tho limit.
Dusk begins to fall at 6.30, and the pill
begins to be elusive after that. It would
hardly be fair to contestants to start them
off when they would have trouble In fin
ishing by daylight.
Tho pairings will bo announced tomor
row, Sidney Sharwood, hopo of the home club,
Is right on tho top of his gamo these days
and will make things hum for those that
try to down him on his own links. He
played yesterday with Wirt B. Thompson,
a former local champion, among others.
Greens and Tan
The Greens Committee of Merlon was
out In full force yeBterday for the regu
lar Inspection of the wonders they have
accomplished on the course. The greens are

golfers appealed nt the tee fnr above and

plnnnod for Cameron B. Buxton, Philadel
phia champion, who leaves In a short tlme"
for Toxas, was staged at the Bellavua yes
terday, when a banquet-roomful of Trafflo
Club men gathered to do him honor.
After tho popular champion had bson
buffeted about and eulogised on the tongueg
of thoso who know him best, Buxton was
presented with a beautiful watch.
He was much nffectod by the tributes
pnld him nnd said that he was preparing to
upend Just as much of his annual three
months vacation as possible In Fhlla.del-'
phla, with his golf and railroad friends.
All tho speakers brought merriment by
saying that they were "glad to seo him go",
tho golfers for the reason that he always
beat them, and the railroad men for the
reason that ho had a habit of getlng all the
business when they thought he was safe In
the wilds playing golf.
JING JOHNSON MAY GET
CHANCE TO WORK TODAY
Urainus Star Likely to Perform.
on Mound in Second Game
Against White Sox
The White Sox won a ball gams fro i
the Athletics In the first game of the series
yesterday, but they knew they ware through
a game before It was over, as n lone run
was all that they could collect, but this
was enough, as the Mackmon failed to
count. Manager Rowland admitted that
his boys looked for no cinch while here, aa
the Browns, Tigers and Indians all found
the going quite rough.
Either Jlng Johnson or 'Williams should
perform on the hill this afternoon, while
It looks as If Eddie CIcotte wll heave the
elusive sphere for Rowland.
Base hits were not very numerous), and
In the face of some fine pitching by Myers
and Benz none of the boys went,Vvay with
Inflated batting marks for the day. John
son twirled a good game against the Tigers
over a week ago. and went well until he
blew up In the tenth. Mack expects to give
him a chance In the series with the White
Box, and this appears to be his day to
toll.
The White Sox are now tied", with tha
Tigers for second place, and they are Just
five games In tho rear of the leading Red
Sox. Every game means much to the
white-hosed aggregation, and they Intend to
work hard for every game here; and tha
Macks plan to make Jt difficult for them.
