DUNDEE, LIKE TERRY M'GOVERN? IS NOT IMMUNE TO
f PROMISING BASEBALL TALENT IS
QUITE AS OBTRUSIVE JUST NOW AS
' LOOSE TEN-DOLLAR GOLD PIECES
JStick Combers and Ivory liunters Doing Swell
Bankruptcy Business This Season Dreyfuss
Very Keen for the McGraw Chase
' TT IB Juat as easy to pick up good ball players In the bushes these days as It ls
to gather $10 gold pieces in City Hall Square.' The crop of high-class major
league timber has been ruined for some reason or other and the species Is be
coming extinct In fact, there aro as many good players In the forest primeval ns
there are heavyweights In the boxing game, and there ain't no such animal.
Baseball scouts, sometimes referred to ns "Ivory hunters," report a glaring scar
city of material In the sticks this season, and few of the boys from tho lower ranks
Will climb into tho big show next year. This Is not tho plaint of one man. Every
bush comber In the big leagues Is soro at tho world and wonders how long ho
will hold his job.
Baseball scouts penetrate places In these United States that aro not even on
the county maps. Sometimes they need a compass and a guide, but If a player
shows any kind of promise these guys will scale ft few mountain ranges to tako
a look. At present Ed Wolf, Bcout for tho Phillies, Is "somewhere In America"
observing embryonlo talent, but no Important dfacoverles liavo been made. Bobby
Gllks, who Is doing tho Columbus act for the Yankees, returned recently empty
handed after a cruise o all ports of call boasting professional ball clubs. Bobby
Bays that a few of tho future greats will bear watching, but the majority are bo
green that It would bo a shame to pluck them from the bush. Joo Kelly Is up In
the Northwest looking over young Hollocher, the highly touted shortstop on tho
Portland club. Manager Walter McCrcdle says his star Is as good as Bancroft, but
Kelly thinks differently. At any rato, ho did not think well enough of him to sign
his noma to a contract.
TT IS Impossible to assign a reason for this lack of talent. Dopesters
-- assert that tho falluro to pay salaries In tho minor leagues has kept tho
promising players out of the gamo, and unless conditions change In tho
near future the game will suffer. Anyway, this lack of stellar athletes
In the lower leagues Is a good excuse for tho poor showing of some of our
large circuit clubs.
Phillies Take on Bender as Pinch Twirler
THE Phillies have been hot on the trail of a pitcher since the season opened,
and as a last resort Chief Bender was slgnod to fill the gap. Bender la far
from being a has-been, but It U seldom that an ancient guy llko that Is hired In
the big show. Connie Mack grabbed Falkenberg because he seemed to bo t'ae
best hurler la the American Association, and the same Is truo of Bender. lie
looks better than anything the scout has seen, so why not tako a chance?
Some time ago It wae announced that Grover Loudormllk, the human giraffe,
was about to Join our Phils, but that was as far as It got. Grover Is going good
In Columbus and the bugs down there bellevo that ho Is the best pitcher In tho
world. However, one cannot be too sure. Loudermllk wai given a try-out with
the St. Louis Browns a couplo of years ago and was allowed to drift to Cleveland.
There Lee Fohl took him In hand and tried hard to get him In shape. The
pitcher had all kinds of "stuff" In practice, but when ho stepped on the rubber
land curved them at tho foe his work was frightfully sad. Ho had what Is tormod
a "rubber arm," and tho elastlo stuff drove him out of the league. A rubber arm
is ono which cannot be controlled. Loudy let himself out only on raro occasions,
and when he did tho ball would go up Into the press box as often as across tho
plate. He could give more bases on balls than any other pitcher living, and Inst
year he was so wild that Fohl sent him to tho Wild and Woolly up in Portland.
Hero Loudormllk got off to a bad start and at the end of a week docldod
that he had e'nough. It Is seldom that a ball player quits of his own accord, but
the giraffe did that very thing. He canned himself after trying for five games
E. to find the home plate, Just to save trouble
ONE afternoon he walked the flrst sir batters and looked toward the
bench. There was no sign from McCredlo, so Grover took off his glove
and calmly strolled to tho coop. Thero ho shook hands with the boys and
waved a farewell to tho players on the field. That night he boarded a train
for the East.
Jess Willard Is Having Trouble With Former Unsilent Partners
TT TOOK a lot of brains and scheming to boost Jess Willard from tho ranks of
the eighth-raters to the top of tho puglllstio ladder, but It was done, and Mr.
Willard profited greatly thereby. Tho lion's share of tho work wns dono by Jack
Curley, who furnished the brains, and his assistant, who came through occasion
ally with a scheme or two. It was Curley who traveled almost around tho world
to get Jack Johnson to consent to the championship battlo In Havana, and It was
he who arranged the little business details If there wero any. In other words,
Big Jess owes his present rating In Dun and Brndstreet to his former managers,
Whom he canned recently because they took too much of the profits. Perhaps that
was good business on Wlllard's part, but it savors strongly of Kaiser Wilhelmlsm.
Perhaps Jess onco read of Bill's actions when he Invaded Belgium.
But the heavyweight champion circus owner Is not yet out of tho woods. His
unsilent partners refuse to be canned and Insist that tho big bloke go through with
his contract, which expires In September. If not, some 120,000 must bo handed
out as heart balm, or something- llko that. Curley is using his brains again, and
this time the courts have been asked to aid. An Injunction was secured which
Will be heard on July E, but Jack couldn't wait that long. H has attached tho
ahow In every town It plays and Willard Is entangled In a legal mesh which Js
ruining his disposition. Curley says he will not allow the circus to leave New
Tork State until ha gets what is coming to him. Tawm Jones seconds the motion
and, as they ay at the camp, there aro breakers ahead.
TTTILIiAKD has been making oodles of scads In the last three years. He
' Is the world's champion flghtless fighter and gets away with It. His
Income Is more than 250,000 a year, and of that he gets 80 per cent. He
bought out Joo Weber and Harry Frazee soon after winning tho title,
and both Jones and Curley received 10 per cent each.
Dreyfuss Embraces Swell Chance to Start Something
AS A real live "closed Incident," tho McGraw episode Is entitled to the titleless
.or patriotlo championship. The only reason a trophy or cup or bolt Is not
forthcoming Is that these little reminders of distinguished prowess are not in
vogue the present season. The Incident stands out against the world and simply
won't emulate tho lowly clam.
Whoever It was that penned that Immortal couplet "Oh. what a tanglod web
wo weave when first we practice to deceive" said a whole mouthful, for tho fur
ther along the thing goes the worse tho tangle. It was alleged at first that every
body waa to be satisfied, all parties Involved the league president, McGraw tho
New Tork authorities, other club owners, the leagua dlreotors and the general
public This seemed to bo true, but ono Insignificant detail waa overlooked. Tho
poor newspaper boobs who had been raking McGraws chestnuts out of the fire
for years and who wee expected to stand the limit for Muggsy turned Just like a
pet worm. They declined to accept the nomination, foolishly demanded tho truth
had a little meeting expressing their feeling In the matter and put It up to the'
league officials to reopen the count.
And here Is where tho plot fattens, or something like that. President Tener
'Intimates that he also Is looking for the truth, whloh etrongly ouggeata a certain
rehearing and Magnate Barney Dreyfuss of Pittsburgh opines that ho proposes
to do some reopening if he has to use the shears or the trusty; barlow. And thero
Is much credence to be attached to the strongly expressed intention of the Smoke
town mogul to etart something. Mr. Dreyfuss deteots signa of the psychological
moment. He has long been hiding his Utile bulb under a bushol and he is dis
appointed generally, for the reason that everything has been breaking against him
lately, Including the gate receipts. He feels that be was euohered In the Sisler
deal; ho had to swallow his pride, and cough up real money in the "Wagner situa
tion, and the managerial Job has been hanging heavily on his constitution alnoo
ITed Clarke started to become a millionaire. Considered from the varlouangles
of speculation, Mr. Dreyfuss may be stated to bo Bore, and he wants to etage a
come-back in the general limelight. And here waa tho opportunity of a lifetime,
hUi position doubtless being strengthened by the fact that tho start of tho McGraw
Tener fracas was made In Pittsburgh and reflected as much upon local scribes
Who published the McGraw stuff as upon the New Tork contingent.
TJAKNET is not overlooking the chance, to again get back in the grarss
O of the newspaper fraternity. Another anglo to which discussion Is to
be noted in the Wagner report. Hans as manager would be tho real
ro-anforcing card to the publicity play, causing Dreyfuss to become solid
again with both the local papers and fans.

A MAN TRYING TO LOCATE A FIRE
JACKSON WILL EMULATE CORBETT'S
TWO KNOCKOUTS OVER M'GOVERN, IF
DUNDEE IS HALTED AGAIN TONIGHT
Another Kayo for Willie Against Italian Star
Would Prove Re-enactment of Double Defeat of
Once Invincible "Terrible Terry"
By LOUIS
0
a lignt
wolght named Terry McGovern. Ho was
a terrible person In tho ring, thus his nom
do guerre "Terrlblo Terry." "Terrlblo Ter
ry" was Inxlnclblo when In tho twenty-four-foot
ring. Nobody could beat Mc
Govern, and It was bclloved ho would reign
supremo until tho end of timo, but, lo,
nlong camo an unknown, William Itothwell
by name, and undor tho gulno of Young
Corbett ho knocked out the great terrlblo
person. "Fluko!" was tho cry, and to prove
that McGovern was tho fluko Corbottro
peatcd tho knockout victory shortly nfter.
All of which leadi up to tonight's contest
between Johnny Dundee, and Willie. Jack
son Tho return meeting, after Jackson's
one-round knockout over tho Scotch Wop
here several months ngo, la almost parallel
to tbat of tho McOovern-Corbett episode.
Tho psychology of Jackson's kayo Is all In
his favor, and If he succeeds In repeating
tho samo potion, then Wllllo would prove
another Corbett.
Deemed Punch-Proof
I.lko "Terrlblo Torry," who was a rush
ing, smashing battler, Dundee, clever, fast,
cluslo, was deemed punch-proof. Until
McGovern knockod out Old Man Dope and
McGovern no ono had ccn shaken up tho
Terrlblo One It was 'Urtually so with
Dundee, although Johnny doesn't believe In
prolng how good ho Is by tho toughness of
his Jawbone Dundee was never caught
flat-footed long enough to have any ono
crack his chin effectively. Then nlong came
Willie, and presto' ho massaged Dundee's
Jaw with a hefty wallop and Johnny flopped
flat on his face, unconscious, completely
knocked out and history of tho McGovern.
Corbett first bout repeated.
Whether Jackson can put oer a similar
drama to tho encoro enacted between Mo
Govern and Corbett when Willie squares
off with Dundee tonight, also In a repeater,
remains to bo seen Dundee possesses a
wallop that wouldn't bo much as knock
one's hat off. nnd his only forto to avenge
Jackson's smarting K. O. Is to win on
points
Going over to Jackson's camp, though,
we find that his slnm of sleep Is no dream
by any means. Didn't Willie knock out
Benny Slmler In twelve rounds' Wasn't
Slmler the same young man whom Benny
Leonard was unable to drop off Into slum
ber In as many rounds? So, If there Is to be
a knockout tonight, it won't be Jackson
who w.tll decorato the canvas. There Is lit
tle chance of this dope going wrong, al
though stranger things have happened.
Boxing Well
Jackson has been boxing well since he
took his place before the spotglare. Critics
who recognized Willie only as a good seo
ond or third rater now aro lauding him as
a serious contender for Leonard's title.
Jackson is placed on a pedestal with light
weights who should be considered dangerous
by the new champ.
Both Jackson and Dundee are In great
shape, down to their best fighting wilght
and each will be strong at the official
ringside poundage, 133, according to a state
ment from New Tork today. It should be
en Interesting bout and a good one as long
as it lasts, and no matter which man wins.

Those who only remember Robert W Chambers by hla present-day outDut in .
novellstlc way have probably forgotten that he also wrote "Tho Itecrult," quite annllMhii.
to the present situation Tho first verso follows: wireaoi
Sez Corporal Madden to Private McFadden:
"Bedad, yer a bad 'un!
Now turn out yer toesl
Yer belt is unhookit,

A GOOD rart of It Is In the break. Not
all. but a husky section. Where class
Is fairly even It's the break that counts.
There's Jock Hutchinson and golf. Jock
last season wa playing brilliantly all the
year. In the open championship he led all
pros by moro than a stride. He turned in
the lowest score ever made in art opon.
But Chick Evans, an amateur, beat him to
the wire
In tho professional championship later on
he played with equal brilliancy. He should
have won But Jim Barnes nosed him out
on the last putt Thl season Hutchinson
led the Whltemarsh open by a healthy mar
gin. It was not even close But this sea
son they were awarding no championships.
So here Is Jock without a championship,
despite some of the finest golf ever seen.
Yet It has been whispered that Fate has
nothing to do with It when the concluding
showdown arrives.
Coaching a football team, managing a ball
team or Instructing a golfer is no Jelly
coated endeavor. You might also ask some
sergeant If he considers training recruits a
hollow-Jointed cinch. But vthen you ask
him that bo ready to duck.
The Best First Baseman
When ou open nn argument that calls
for naming the best first baseman In the
gamo today you got four answers from
various points of tho compaB1. They aro
Stuffy Mclnnls, Wally Plpp, George Sisler
nnd Hal Chase. These, to a certainty, ore
tho four best Chase Is the premier In the
National League, with tho otf or .three beak
and nozzle In the American. It would be
hard to find a more valuable nrst baseman
than Walter I'lpp Is now.
In addition to being a brilliant Inflelder,
ho Is tho most timely batsman In tho game
Last season ho drove over moro runs than
any other player, not barrlnr Speaker nnd
Cobb, who outbatted him i m eighty to
100 points. This season ho Is leading the

can placo any man nbove Stuffy Mclnnls
a great Inflelder, a, hard hitter and a hus
tler oven with n tall-end team? Stuffy
certainly leads over tho long count for ho
carries an eight-year average around .315,
and In that tlmo no man has fielded tho Job
with greater effect.
The Game's Variety
Dear Sir I don't see how a good golfer
gets any fun out of the game. For where
Is the element of uncertainty or surprise
the greatest In sport' Evans or Klrkby or
