" wmm-lwmm EVENING EEDGER-PHILABEEPHIA, TUESDAY, JANUAEY 16, 19i7 12 STRIKES ARE COMMON IN BASEBALL, BUT NOT IN JANUARY AND DAVE FULTZ KNOWS AIN'T IT A GRAND AND GLORIOUS FEELIN'? AMATEUR SQUABBLE IN TENNIS WILL HAVE THREE ARGUMENTS TO BE THRESHED OUT CLEARLfl Eastern and Western Delegates Have Different! Sides to Support Williams in Between With a I Still Different Interpretation for Debate b"ppisM 1T DAVE FULTZ BANKING UPON DECISION AGAINST 0. B. IN SUITOF FEDERAL LEAGUE Head of Players' Fraternity May See Ray of Hope in Possible Reorganization of National Agreement in Near Future TA.VB FULTZ Iind a reason for pulllns his strike threat nt this tlmo of the --ycar Instead of waiting until tho tlmo enmo for tho players lo depart for the training camps. The president of tho Players' Fraternity almost pot away with a "coup d'etat." but failed becnuso of tho postponement of tho'hcarlnB in tho suit of tho Balllmoro Federal J.caBiio Club ngalnst Organized Baseball. The caso was to havo been heard In Philadelphia today, hut tho dnto has been shifted to later In tho month. Fultz, who Is a very good lawyer, evidently had an Idea that tho suit against tho National Commission, tho National and American leagues, Harry Sinclair, Charles WceGhman, Phil Ball and tho Ward ostato ' Would bo decided in favor of tho Baltlrnoro owncro. It is possible that ho rea Boned that O. B. could not afford to kick up trouble with tho players In view of the fact that a decision adverso to O. B. would moko all contracts void and necessitate tho complete reorganization of tho gome. Fultz counted upon taking ndvantflgo of tho slight npprehenslon tho magnates of Organized Baseball must feel beforo this caso is called, but ho rccltdncd without Ban Johnson. Tho state ments of Tcncr and Herrmann, tho othor commission members, wore of llttlo conacquenco becauso neither said anything of Importance; but tho American League chief crossed Fultz with his vitriolic declaration. Sued for $900,000 THE suit of tho Baltlrnoro Federal Leaguo Club was to havo been heard today, according- to tho offlctal announcement, but It has been postponed. Tho Balti more owners principally Carroll Basin and Harry Goldman entered suit for $S00)00O, claiming $300,000 damages. If tho decision Is favorablo to tho Fed owners thoy will' receive $000,000, or treble the amount of tho damages. The Baltlmoio magnates declare that they wcro fraudulently deprived of their lights by the pcaco settlement, which left them out In the cold. It Is further stated that they invested money in tho Baltlrnoro Federal Leoguo club and had been nssuicd hat thero should bo no separata peaco with Organized Baseball. They contend that tho pcaco settlement not only deprived them of their rights, but also caused n depreciation of tho property valuo of tho Baltlrnoro club's holdings. And It jnlght bo woll to mention that tho Baltlrnoro magnates aro suing under tho Slier plan "law, which is foared by Organized Ball. National Agreement Would Be Abolished IT "WILL- be recallod that Judgo Koncsaw M. Landls's falluro to announce a decision m the famous Federal Leaguo vs. Organlzod Ball suit was the real cause of the peaco settlement, as both sides became convinced that a decision, if ho rendered ono after a delay of sovcral months, would bo adverse to both sides. It oven was said that Landls started tho peace negotiations. Fultz followed this case closely, and It Is believed that ho Is of the opinion that tho Baltlrnoro Feds will bo awarded a verdict. If this should occur tho players would have the tipper hand for soma tlmo to come, as tho decision would automatically dissolve tho National Agreement. Minors Might Welcome Change BASEBALL would bo In a chaotic state if tho court decided that the National Agreement, under which the major and all minor league clubs operate, is void. It would mean that tho gamo would have to bo reorganized completely. A new agreement, would' havo to bo drawn up, tho contracts between clubs, owncra and players would bo valueless; a new agreement between tho National Association of Minor Leagues nnd the major leagues, under tho National Com mission, would bo necessary, nnd dozens of othercompllcations would arise. It Is believed that tho National Association of Minor Leagues really would welcomo an adverse decision, as Its principal cogs, tho American Association, International League and Pacific Coast Leaguo, would bo ablo to force tho National Commis sion to grant Its demands, which recently were turned down. The falluro of the commission to do this would result In a split between the two factions. Any way, thero Is more to tho Feds' suit than tho magnates caro to admit. T Ernes Gets Injunction Against A. A. U. EDWARD E.MES, the high jumper, who was asked to turn In His registration card tortile Amateur Athletic Union because ho had capitalized his athletic fame by working for a sporting goods concern, pulled something entirely new when he took out a temporary injunction restraining tho A. A. U. from inter fering with him. By doing this Ernes competed In the Irish-American games on Eaturday night despite the fact that ho had been barred omclally by tho Metro politan Division two days before. Ernes declares that ho will light tho case in court, to retain his amateur stundlng It It should be necessary. Ernes already has applied for a new trial. If Ernes gets away with It against the governing body other athletes recently barred probably will try the same thing, which will causo plenty of excitement in tho athletic world for tho rest oC the winter. It also may result Jn n new Interpretation of tho amateur. Present Team Far Below Standard WATCHING Columbia's play against I'enn Saturday night, one was first Impressed that it was not a well-coached team, and that tho old fighting spirit that onco mado PennColumbia battles worth going miles to witness is lacking. While thero Is no question about Penn'a superiority in all departments, Columbia really has excellent material for a strong team, but the team play was surprisingly weak. Signal plays were upknown, while no one seemed to know what tho other . was going to do at any time. Altogether, It was a poor representative that Colum bia sent to this city, and It is not surprising that tho Red and Blue won such an easy victory. Referee Maddock Resigns From Eastern League GUS MADDOCK, one of the best basketball oftlclals in the East, has resigned tVom the Eastern League start. Maddock is employed by the .Mldvale Steel Company at, Its Coatcsvillo plant and found It inconvenient and unprofitable to , pay his own transportation fiom Coatesvllle to the plactj ho was scheduled to officiate. Maddock mado a great hit with the fans and is considered a competent referee, but he saya that President Shelter would not pay his expenses, as ho does for Referee Stratton. who lives in Trenton, so ho decided to resign. If it was left to a vote of the fans they would favor keeping Maddock at any cost, as they con sider him a much better referee than Stratton, Sensational Finish at Olgmpia T STOOPED to tlo my shoelaces and when I looked up It was all over." That J-ls tho way George Ade, employed as a special correspondent of a New York, paper, described the famous Fitzslmmons-Peter Maher llcht twenty years ago. In this battle Fitz put Maher away in less than a minute after tho light had been advertised" as one ,of the greatest in tho history of tho game. Strange as Jt may seem, we heard a similar remark as the crowd filed out of the Olympia last night after Willlo Jackson had scored a sensational one-round knockout victory over Johhny Dundee. The only difference was that tho Olympia fan said; "I started to light a cigarette and when I looked up "Pop" O'Brien was counting Dundee out." That Just about describes the way a large percentage of tho fans felt as they filed out of the Olympia after the remarkable bout last night, Dun dee's defeat under any condition was entirely unexpected, while the fact that ho was knocked out created consternation. And Theu Were Laying Five to One! FIVE to one, Dundee on points, were tho prevailing odds beforo the bell rang. At that, very few bets were placed, as Jackson was figured a rank outsider but tho unexpected, as sometimes is 'tho case, occurred. This is one of the few tlmea in the pugilistic gamo that a boxer considered not prominent enough to have his list of bouts in tho record book has como through and toppled over a top-notcher. While Jackson has appeared here in one other star bout, the con queror of Dundee is considered only a fair preliminary boxer in New York his home town. On the other han.d, Dundee is a headllner, ono of the best attractions In Gotham and one of the three or four most logical contenders for Fred AVelsh's championship. Mackmen Join List of Holdouts THE holdout of Amos Strunk and Joe Bush created llttlo surprise among local fans, but tho fact that Wally Schahg had entered into an agreement with Btrunk and Sohang not to sign until tho terms of all wore accepted by Mack was a great blow to magnates throughout the country. The reason that the holdout is considered of more than ordinary importance Is that none of the men are members of tho Players' Fraternity, but have banded together to attain their purpose. . U Strunk, Sohang and Bush get away with their holdout the fami can readily sea Just how easy It would be for the Players," Fraternity to score a victory In their light. The absence of thea players would mean that the Mackmen would be facing another tail-end berth, while their presence in the line-up will give tha team, an excellent first-division chance. As there Is a vast difference between the receipts of a first and second division team, it is easy to under atand that Mask has a serious problem on bis hands. Kfa HERMAN, the new dli4ter of the bantamweight ranks, at least has. made a step la the right direction since dethroning Kid Williams. Herman declares that he will defend hi Upe. at 114 pounds ringside, the old bantamweight limit, Which has been stretched quite a bltsince William got the title. The only thiny we have against Herman U tljat be says be "wants to meet all the tough ones, tBsludlng Louisiana and Ronny Kauffman." Herman was not present at the OSytnpU two weeks ago and failed to see these two "tough ones" in action. t 1J18YS iwUUant victory in the special 1048-yard, run In New York on Saturday -- diiiht was a dUttnct tmrpjJ to ! cntka, who nave net recovered from ttm tRii,k .,- Bby U "oAy ean ef tire many freshmen stars I.awon Robertson i stwoMss fw aja$t W ii PPwMHMHfH a l imMiii To 6ulLD- wW iimmmmA - ' ' ' ' 1111 PffL-r.- AJJP 'mKk ma S 0h-h j'"r ,T jJf7ggSgjgh: s?. v -And You GO (Sr-wAMO d fpfesr.. jS fe )) SACK ND DI3COUC9 y GLOR-' . -"x JOHNNY DUNDEE KNOCKED OUT . IN FIRST ROUND BY JACKSON; ONLY DEFEAT IN HIS CAREER Scotch -Count Wop Takes When Oppo nent Lands Right to Jaw -prise - Biggest Sur in Years By ROBERT W. MAXWELL OVER tho prostrate body of the fighting chap who gained his fistic sobriquet from "Bonnie Dundee," Willie Jackson, un heralded and unconcerned, played the An gelus In tho wind-up of tho Oiympja A. A. last night. For tho first time In his career of bIx years that marks more than 150 battles, Johnny Dundee, Scotty Montleth's pride, tasted defeat, and It came In tho fornix of the wormwood of a knockout. Ono flashing left that stabbed through Johnny's outer guard was followed by the rocking crash of a right uppercut to the jaw and the Glasgow Wop was knocked as stiff as tho proverbial mackerel. The end came after tho first round had progressed two minutes and thirty-five sec onds, nnd to call It a tremendous surprise Is a mild form of expression. Jackson had started out like a whirlwind, shooting his left to tho head time and again, and Dun dee seemed to be taking It easy while studying tho stylo of his opponent. Twice Johnny opened up and landed stiff Jabs to tho face, but Jackson kept after him. He rushed tho Wop to the ropes, where Johnny attempted to bound back, bhootlng a right to tho body, which did not land. Jackson rocked him with a straight left and Dun dee's guard dropped. The Knockout That was Jackson's chance. Quick as a flash, he hurled a right uppercut to the Jaw, which landed flush. The Impact could be heard all over the clubhouse, and Johnny flopped as If he had been struck on the bead with a hammer. He lay on IiIb side, with arms outstretched, and remained mo tionless until the count of Ave. Then he shook himself, his hands spasmodically opened and closed, as It he were trying to grab something to help him to his feet, partly arose and fell back again. After ten seconds had been tolled off by Referee O'Brien, he staggered to his feet and was led to his corner. The huge audience was silent for a mo ment, but when It suddenly dawned upon them that ring history had been made and they had been there to see It, a near riot scene was put on. The spectators jumped on their seats, shouted themselves hoarse and then mado a rush for the ring to con gratulate tho letor. It took the police sev eral minutes to keep tho crowd back and allow Jackson to escape to his dressing room. Dundee in the meantime sat alone In his corner, his head bowed, while Scotty Montleth and Muggsy Tujlor worked over him. He was Ignored by the frantic fans. Montietli Also Suffers In a way, Jackson scoied a double knock out. Montleth, who was in Dundee's cor ner, seemed to be taking the most punish ment, and when his man Vent down he looked as cheerful as the population of Bel glum. He seemed dazed and couldn't real ize what had happened. His meal ticket lias been punched full of holes and a hard winter was In prospect. Scotty sat mo tionless, staring Into space, his mouth open and a look of dazed consternation spread over his countenance until Muggsy Taylor aroused him. He staggered as much as Dundee when he walked across the ring to lead his battler to his corner. "It was an accident," he said. "It MUST have been an accident. Jackson Isn't good enough to knock out Dundee and you know It. Something was wrong, but I can't realize It." When he reached his dressing room, Dun dee eat on a low stool, all'bunched up and with his head in his hands. He did not even remove his gloves. Dundee Is Mystified "I have often wondered how It felt to be knocked out," he said, "and I guess I havo found It out at last. J have knocked out many opponents in the six years I hae been fighting, and many of the boys I have boxed have been dazed and helpless before me. I never worried much about their con dition, but it will be different from now on. "They tell me that I was knocked out In the tint round. They also tell me that I have been In a fight. Perhaps I was, but you can't prove it by me. I can't remember what happened and the events of the last half (hour are a blank. It must have been an accident" Jackson, who had dressed hurridy, then came into the rooin. Holding out his hand to Dundee, he said: 7 "I'm sorry, Johnny, but I had to. do it, I hope you are not feeling badly." Dundee arose, looked his conqueror In .tho eye a moment and replied: "Did you really knock me put? Is It truer How did you do Jt? Please shew ma so that I'll know what to do if we meet again.' Jackson Illustrates Knockout "Hers U how it happened," exp&iasd Jaaksen, as he drewjehany near him "We were aeaf (he repes sod abaeet u a ullncU.

Scotty Slontlcth congratulated Jackson 1,11 his victory, and asked for a return match. "Suro we will box you again." said Jackson, "any old time-for $5000." Jack Hanlon, matchmaker of the Olym pia A. A., attempted to sign tho boys for a special show In the near future, but Dag ley refused. "We will rest for a time and then be ready to talk business," ho said. "Jack sou's victory List night makes him one fo the best boys hi the wot Id, and he is In line for the championship. He did something that no one eUe has done, and wo will rest awhile on our laurels." Not Counted Top Notcher . , Jackson, up to lust night, was regarded as a good preliminary boxer and o. trial horse for the top notchers. Ho always put up a flashy battlp, but was not considered seriously. He never showed evidences of a knockout punch and in his last appearance here was almost knocked out by Johnny Nelson after outpointing him for five lounds. Last spring Jackson met Johnny Kllbane and the refereo htopped the bout In the fourth round when Willie was helpless. Willlo Jackton Is a Hebrew and Is nine teen years old. Ho has been In the botlng game for three years, starting In when he weighed 08 pounds, "Doc" Ilagley has trained and managed hhn since his first fight.

IIokkIo has been playlntr three and four Barnes n week uinco tho opening of the season and ho is In hplcndld shajie. Theretoro ho will he ablo to jump lhto the game as soon as ho reports. BokkIh was on HeadlnB's rcscro list, hut was pot sent a contiact this fall be cause it Vtas understood that tho brilliant forward would not he able to play hocauso of his new position in Holyoke. 'Whether the up-State team will protest ngalust Do N'erl signing Uoggio remains to ho seen, but as all tho ICastcrn I.eaKUe magnate are anxious to see a strong team placed In Musical Kund Hall, It Is helieed that Head ing will walvo claim to him. Would Switch Line-up The presence of BokkIo In De Neri's line-up would enable Manager Myers to switch BUI Dark hack to guard with Drey fuss and pair oft Uoggio with N'orman at forward. As Getzinger Is a star of the first water, this lineup would give De Nerl an excellent chance tu finish up with the leaders. A few years ago Bogglo was recognized as one of tho best forwards In the game and made a great reputation as a forward on tile famous 'McKeesport team, which won the Central League pennant and then cap tured the natlbnal title by defeating the Kastern and New lOngland Leaguo cham pions. As Bogglo is still a youngster and lias had more practice this winter than In recent years, there is no reason why he Ehould-rfot be ablo to uliow his old form. Cireyatock and Camden will meet In the Armory at Camden tonight. The game was scheduled for tomorrow night, hut as the armory waa being used for other purposes It was necessary to advance the data one day. The Skeeters apparently aro back In the form displayed early lu the season, and should win tonight. The Oreys will he without the services of Alllft' MoWllllams again tonight, and with him out of the gamo the local team probably will And it Impossible to stop the Camden machine. Tho Skeeters are a great home team, Invariably rolling up a large sere on the armory lloor, and with the league leadership at stake they are likely to go at a speedy clip from start to finish. Winnie Klncald, tha veteran guard, re cently signed by Oieystock, will bo in MCWIlllams's place. Klncald played in splendid form In his first game for the Oreys, and Captain Fogarty believes that he will do Just as well tonight. If he does, Ureystock's chance for victory will be fifty per cent better. Industrial League Games Standard Is scheduled to meet Mldvale In the big game In the Industrial League tonight, while Dlsston and Hale & Kllburn, the two tallenders, will clash In the ofher game. Standard and Dlsaton look like the winners on form, but Manager Kane, of Standard, fears the "SteeWorkera." as they liave won four of the last Ave games played. The addition of Bean and Lester strength ened Mldvale and with Jones, Sherry, Loftus and Bennis giving valuable aid, the ''Steelworkers'1 are considered dangerous, Bobby Wilson, of Standard, lias taken the lead in points bcored In the Industrial League, having passed Lees, of Dobson, last week.
