LUCKY PUNCHES" STILL
MAKING RING HISTORY, AS

HISTORY MADE BY SWIFT PUNCHES
WHICH RECIPIENTS ERRONEOUSLY
TERM "LUCKY," ALACK, TOO OFT
.Quick Whack to Chin Settled Dundee, But Jack
son Knocked Him Out, Which Is More Than
Any One Else Has Been Able to Do
WHEN Willie .TflcltBon crushed his right fist against Johnny Dundee'". Jaw nntl
knocked lilm out lntt Mnmtnv night, this fighting Wop lint nt least $20,000 of
his earnings thin ycnr. Johnny vvns no of the host drawing card In the country,
alwnyn received from J"50 tn $1000 for his services and idnitned to box nt leant
three times a month nil year. Itlght now, hovvovor, hli purnlng rapacity In out In
half, nnd until he wiped out the last dofent Htnnller purses will bo ottered. Tor
example, -Dundee virtually wnn bllfctl to bo- nt Ilia National next Bntunlny nlBht,
but Jnck McGulgnn called oft nil negotiations nflcr llm bocr hnd beon counted
out. The public likes n winner nml Ncntlmciit Immediately shifted to Jackson,
the victor. McClulgnn now Is tiyluff to sIkii Willie to tnko the place of Dundee
But It's nil In the frame. rcihnps Dundee will como out 111 it stntcmcnl In n tlnv or
o vigorously osortlnp; that It wnM a lucky punch nnd ho will mote than oven
things tip If they meet ngnln. Hut wo must remember that Willie, knocked Johnnv
out nnd It It more thnn nny other lighter 1ms been nble to do,
Oilier "Lucky Punches" Have Made History
THIS cry or "lucky punch" nlivuvs cnnies nttei n sudden and unexpected dele it
lu tho ling It probably Is due to the fnot that row lucky punches ocrur
because the top-notchern refuse to moot opponents or their Ilk. But It I" a neat
thing for tho Rnmo nnd ndtls siest mill interest to the sport. A couple of veaii ago
Al McCoy wns selected to act as a punching brut for Ceoico Chip, the lOtnunlotl
middleweight champion, and Albert hunt? one on Cloorgo's Jaw In tho vor flrt
round The wallop placed Chip In n comfortable position on tho floor, from whirh
ho was unaDle to arise to du any moic lightlni; that evening. As n lesult the tnte
changed hands. It was called nn accident, n lluko ittul everything else, but Chip
ami other mlddlowclghts have tried to send McCoy to slumberlnnd In lnle linttles
with negative results This is juaf1 ono of many reverses of tho ring, bill li proves
that a fighter, like the vvell-lciioivn pltrher, enn innko n trip to tho well urn e too
often. It nlso will bo remembered that Terrible Terry McClovorn was knocked out
In two tounds by Youiik Corbutt, then reminded ns n second ratei, and that In kv
stuff was used far and wide In tho iioivspapotH. Dvei.vhuiiy said It was n mistake,
ttn accident that never could happen again nntl howled lor u ictuin maicli. This
Was arranged, and once mine Teny bit tho dust.
Even Kid McCoy Stopped One With His Chin
)VT tho biggest surprise occurred several ye.irs ngo when fixy Kid McCoy
'took the count nt the Htur Theatre In
of tho cleverest men lu the ring and nilpenrcil against a "set up" named Jack
McCormlck. Jack was a thirfl-tntor In tho "put k mid banns" class mid tho clover
Kid expected to have a picnic. Ho llddlcd mound the eiunbersotn" Jnck In the
opening stanza, when WHAM' McColmlck sinned one fioin tho Hour nnd McCoy
was out for keeps. Thnt punch on tho chin caused no moie excitement than tho
European wni nnd MiCoy did not tost easily until ho was lematclied with his con
queror. Tho second battle was held lu New Voik and it was a different story.
The Kid refused to knock McCormlck out. lush-nil. he Jabbed him unmoiclfully
and kept hlmtoii the wigo of iheamlaud until tin- llnnl hell. i:ill I'apko llattuiied
Stanley Kotchel In their llrst fight and u-ielved the saiiio dim- lu the second hnttlo.
However, It Is seldom Unit the tables are icveisi-d In a lelmn bout A lucky punch
'usually Is repeated when the encoto Is put on One night Marvin Hart, who was
elected ns JofTries's' successor, tutiu-d his head to talk with a riliind lu tlio audience
nnd Wild Dill Hanrahnn clipped him on tho chin nnd almost knocked him out or
the building. Then.- was no leturn mutch.
Upsets Revive Interest in Fight Game
A FEW more upsets llko th.it ot Monday night will lovive Intel est lit thu light
weight division, which now appears doimant. Tho top-notchern in that class
arc too willing to rest on their reputations and Insist on meeting tho poorest oppo
ncnts thnt can bo proem oil. Preddy Welsh hasn't bioti In half a dozen good battles
since winning tho championship, and the i-hauces an- that lie will not engage In
.ny in the futuie unless lie Is di.iggi-d Into the ring by u team ot horses. IIo picks
on tho soft ones and will bang on to thu lightweight ciown until some summer
possessing a "lucky punch" diops him for the count of ten. Now that Dundee has
been eliminated, l-'roddy's foes can be counted on one hand Kenny Leonard still
U on the Job nnd Ultchlo Mitchell ami Willie Jackson also can he considered.
Johnny Kllbane, tho featherweight champion, wants to step out or his class to
meet Welsh, but tho Englishman -vldcntl Is not nuslous to take n chance
" regardless of tho fact that he would outweigh Kilbuuu by" nt least fifteen pounds.
So allow us to slip u fow words or pi nlso to Jackson and hope that a row mnrd
"lucky punches" will bo Innded nn oilier top notcheis in the near fututo
Magnates Can lllame Themselves for Strike Talk
I
declared which
can blame no ono but themselves, for
been allllcted with money madness, and tho ulllictlon now has the pla.vcrs in
its grnsp. Tho commeiclal sldo of baseball has been extolled for such n long
time that now the players want biunu uf the prollts themselves. The tho play
ers have been having it sort with their Federal League contracts, gutting about
$6000 for services worth ubuut $2000, and now thnt tho salaries (ire to bo cut this
howl about a strike, the American Federation of Labor and the threat to tie up
the well-known national game has been lalscd. To us it looks Wee n political
deal. The owncis hay, "We'll cut the salaries," nml the playcis lcply, "Wo'll
strike." This talk will continue for another month, when both sides will get
together and icach a settlement from the viewpoint of the owncis.
Public Is Not Interested in the Squabble
AT THE same time, tho public Is not Interested In this siiunbblo for moio pay.
xi-The patrons of baseball go out to seo the games and the so-called "Inside stuff"
does not tnko up much of their time Ot com he, tho Winter League gossip Is aided
considerably, but It is a safe bet that the fans will lay off and allow tho players
and magnates to tight It out among themselves. Thoy are more Interested In
atrike-outs than strikes.
No Dallying With Charley Weeghman, of Cubs
PRESIDENT WEEtlHMA.V, of the Cubs, Is to have .i hall club In the Natlonul
League, strike or no strike, und apparently he ilnu-ai'i enro whether tho plajers
on his roster now aro In the line-up or not. Charley has declared himself, and he
Is known to ho u man of his woul. It is up to tho players themselves. If thoy
are not on hand to board the special that Is to take tho Chicago club to California
for spring training, the plajers who nio tardy will be out of a Job for thu season,
Is Weeghman's threat. That the out In salaries of the Chicago pl.iyeis Is more
general Is proved by tho fuel that Leslie Mann has returned his contruct unsigned.
Just what his Bulury was to be Is not known Mann suld ho would rather quit
bivjeball than agreo to tha cut to bo made by Weeghman.
Golfers Pay Tribute to fack McDermott
PROLONGED chipping greeted the announcement last night of Hamsun Town
send nt tho annual meeting of the Ciolf Association of Philadelphia that Jack
McDermott. former open golf champion of tho United Htatcs, whs nuw nlmost
recovered from his Illness and that there had been generous responses from local
colters to an uppenl for the hospital expenses of the famous player.
McDermott was the sensation of the golf world a few years ugp nnd has been
called the greatest golf machine ever developed In this tauntry. He started his
game as a caddy In Philadelphia and lenrned his game locally. Ills triumphs in
open championships In this country brought him international prominence while
still a mere youth. Hut tho strain of constantly playing In only tho most brilliant
form, together wltli the constant attention given his game und an unfortunate
misinterpretation of a remark he made at rihavvnee by a newspaper man now In
disrepute, was too much for his temperament and he broke down.
For a time McDermott abandoned the game, but when ho resumed his play
his health gave way again and hejvus ent to a hospital. A fund was raised und
the former golf hero has so Improved wtyji treatment that Mr. Townend, who has
had charge of the fund, nnnounced last night that physicians were almost prepared
to announce that McDermotfu health would bo completely testored In a few
weeks' time.
Golfers at tho meeting were particularly delighted with the announcement that
' a very large sum had been raised for McDermott by the Professional Golfers' Asso.
elation of the United States, whose members; thereby showed that they had not
forgotten Jack, though It has been several yaarx since he has played In their midst.
McDermott has ulwaj'8 been a great fyorlto In Philadelphia, and delegates
were enthusiastic at the assurance that he would soon be his old self again
'
TWO Philadelphia boxers who were billed for matcheu in New York this week
failed to go through with their contracts, and the New York State Koxlng
Commission probably will put the ban on both. Kddle O'Keefe was to have met
Joe Lynch last night. He failed to show up. Tonight Eddie McAndrews la
scheduled to meet Jimmy Duffy, and he, too, has no Intention of boxing.
ON THE heela of boxing upsets corns u, surprise In the swimming pool. Ted
Cann pulled the unexpected In Kew York last night by dethroning Herbert
' Voilmer as the 100-ysjd sprint eluuupion in the Metropolitan Association. At this
rate 191T may go dowfi Into history aa the biggest sport-upsetting season on
record.
