WITHER OR NOT COMISKEY WINS THE A. L. PENNANT, HE STILL
DUNDEE OVERCOMES KNOCKOUT
' PEAR AND PROVES TRUE WORTH
WHEN HE BEATS WILLIE JACKSON
Scotch Wop Was Ready to Administer Same Treat
ment to George Chaney, but Breaks Hand and
Bout Is Postponed Until July 11
'' "pT IB eldom that a boxer who hn felt tlio effects of n knockout wallop ever
eome back and decisively defeats tho person who administered the sleep-pro-
j duclng punch. Terry McOocrn tried It with Young Corbett nnd went to sleep n
, second time, and others Imvo met the some fate. Tho only real rome-bark on
record that In, nmpng tho really Rood fighters vn when Ktanley Kotrhell
knocked out Hilly Tapko nflr U'llllum knocked out Ketrli In their first battle
Another Just na sensational, but without the knockout attached, was. put on In
t New Tork last Friday night, when Johnny Dundee outpointed, outboxed, nut-
( slugged and outgeneraled Willie .Inrkviui In a leri-round bout The Jumping Wop
clearly proved his superiority nnd boxed his way ba k to the top of th" lightweight
division where he belongs
It was a wonderful performance when one considers tho condition .tackon
was mors than confident. He had stood over the prostrate form of Dundee at
the Otympla A. A one nlghf last winter and heard frank O'Brien toll off ten
seconds, which gave him the erdlct by a knockout Ho had beaten this snm man
fcefpre, and there was no doubt In bis mind that bo would repeat Dundee, on
the other hand, entered the ring with the knowMgn thai Jackson had tho power
nd strength to hit him on the Jaw and knock him unconscious He knew that
one mistake on his part would result In another disastrous defeat and ho woub'l
fee carried from the ring. Ho had to watch that right hand nnd keep nway from
'the blow. It was tho fear of that dreaded knockout on ono sldo nnd supremo
fronfidence on the other. Dundee overcame that fear nnd took many chances. Ho
won by a large margin nnd put nn end to those stories that he had "gone back."
As
S WAS stated abovo, few boxers
. decision In a second meeting. Dundee did It, nnd It makes him one of
the best and gamest boxers In tho business today
Bout With Chancy at Shibc Park Will lie Sensational Affair
THE pride of Bonnie Dundee will have another rhnitgci to prove bis worth
next week at Blilbe Park, when he meets George Chaney , the Baltimore
knockout king, In a six-round bout ('hnimv Is one of the toughest men Johnny
has met for some time, and unless lie is er careful there Is llkelv to bo another
knockout, Baltimore George hita a wicked punch concealed In his" port-side gloe
and once It lands the other fellow ceases to take nn Interest In the pioceeilings.
Terry McGovern, of this city, ran Into a left-handed wallop to the chin nnd went
to the mat with a dull and sickening thud Others hae met the same fate, ami
It would not be at all surprising If Dundee took the onge You never can tell
What will happen In the boxing game
It Is an Ideal match and ohould bo every bit as thrilling as the Williams
Herman combat Every time a slugger and a boxer get together tho fur files and
the boxing fans know It. For that reason a large crowd Is expected to witness the
first big open-air show of tho season and It Is fortunate that a big place llko tho
balr park has been procured. Thero aro seats for every ono nnd tho lighting
facilities make tho place aa bright as day. Thero nro thousands of ncats In tho
grand stand and the cheaper chairs behind first and third bases aro right' In lino
with the ring, which will be pitched at thu homo plate. John Shlbo la giving tho
peoplo of Philadelphia first-class boxing at popular prices nnd the boxing fans
appreciate It.
A TELEGRAM to tho Sports Editor states that Dundeo will be unable
to box tomorrow night. This will movo tho show back a week nnd It
will be held on Wednesday. July 11. Plans aro under way to sign riiarlcv
White to meet some good boy in the near future. The biggest event of
the year, however, will lw on Julv 2H, when Johnny Kllbano meets
Benny Ieonard.
Babe Ruth Is Lucky to Get Off So Easily After Hittimj Umpire
FAR be It from ua to wish any guy haid luck, but It appears that Babo Ruth
escftpefl too easily after his fight with Umplro Owens on tho ball field. Ban
Johnson dismissed the matter with a flno of $100 nnd a suspension of ono week.
This does not seem enough, nnd It Is certain that a player of less lmportanro
would have been treated rather harshly. Ruth is one of tho stars of tho lcaguo .
and a prolonged nbsenco would havo ruined Boston's pennant chances. Also tho
gate receipts would have suffered. So Bnttllns Ban beenme as meek ns a lamb
and decided to "give the boy another chance."
The bad feature of this case Is that It will cnconrago others to pull tho same
Btuff. A week's layoff nnd $100 fine Is nice, gentle punishment, nnd tho chances
are that some playora would pay twice as much for a shot at nn umpire's Jaw.
It cost McGraw $500 for punching Byron under tho grnnd stand nnd Ruth'a of
fense was more flagrant thnn that. Ban seems to havo mado another mistake.
Ho should, have used Ruth ns a horrlblo example and soaked him with a long
layoff and a healthy tine.
The dope has run to form at Pittsburgh. Barney Dreyfuss showed Jimmy
Callahan the way to the gate nnd ho departed from tho city of smoke amid the
crash and clatter of tho tlnwnro which was dragging behind. Callahan barf not
made good with the Pirates nnd last year thero was talk of canning him. Ho
is not popular with the players nnd they wouldn't work for him. Thls also was
the case when Jimmy was boss of the Whlto Sox. His ability was great, but his
personality negative.
w
PANS WAGNER la an Ideal man for
veteran, Ifbwever, consented to sit
has been chosen, and started on Saturday by leading tho club to victory.
Drcyfuss may select Hans I.obert or Larry Doyle If cither can bo procured.
Tyrus Cobb Seems to Have Clinched Batting Honors
THE race for batting honors In tho American Leaguo Is about over. Tyrus Cobb
has taken a commanding lead, and now that he Is working his head off and
taking his Job seriously, it's hard to flguro how he will be headed by tho other
ambitious swatsmen. Trls Speaker IS rolling along nt a consistent gait and others
are in the ,300 class, but the space between them nnd tho leader Is wide enough
to drive Jimmy Dougherty's car through. Terrible Tyrus is out to lead the league
and he will have hia wish. v
We all know that Thumping Tyrus Is a remarkable player and his crafty
work on the diamond makes him one of tho greatest players of all time. How
ever, some of tho old-timers maintain that ho cannot compare with the famous
Kins Kelly of twenty years ago. Kelly, by the way, played an entirely different
game from Cobb. The old boy was a shrewd player nnd pulled many original
atunta which never hae been duplicated. Ono day Kelly was managing from
tho bench. It was a close gamo and the opponents were at bat for the last tlmo
With the heaviest hitter at the plate. A hit would tie the score nnd n long wallop
would mean victory Like the others, Kelly was very nervous at this stage of
the game.
An old-timer named Silver Flint was catching and the heavy hitter was begin
ning to find the range to the left field fence. He knocked several out of the lot, but
they were foul, and Kelly's men were fast losing confidence. Finally the batter
hit a fast foul which traveled straight at the plajers bench. Kelly grasped tho
situation at a glance, leaped to his feet and yelled:
'Flint out! Kelly now catching! M
Then he caught the ball for the third out and the game was saved.
THAT stunt couldn't bo pulled nowadays, but there was nothing- In the
rules then to prevent a substitution even in the mldsj of play and Kelly
was foxy enough to take advantage of It. Tho King's favorite caper was
to do things for the first time. The rule-makers never did catch up to him.
At That, Kelly Was a Wonderful Player in His Day
IN THE dark ages Kelly was one of the best base runners the game ever knew.
He wasn't fast, but took a whale of a lead and could slide Into the base with as
much speed and dash as Cobb. That ever green "Slide. Kelly Slide," yodel which
la used extensively by every sand-lotter dates back to the sliding days of Kelly.
Ho first played with Anson's White Stockings and later was the star of the Boston
Nationals. He was so good that they used to say that he boxed with his feet,
Another of Kelly's immortal plays, according to Harold Wilcox, who dug up
tha dope, was achieved in tho world series of 1892. That was the year that tho
National League tried tho split-season scheme. Cleveland won the championship
Jn tha first season and Boston snagged the flag for the second half. The first
game of the world series' went eleven' innings to a scoreless tie. Then Boston won
five straight. Jesse Burkett was on third baso In the game In question. Two were
out The batter grounded to Herman Long, who shortstopped for the eastern
ntry. Long was slow and threw to First Baseman Tommy Tucker a trlflo too ,
late, Burkett dashed for home at the crack of the bat.
s ; - - veujr was c&icnuiK. no i-augm me
skm. ns inrew aown nis mjtii ana sianea ior ma nencn. Burkett knew the play at
i tlrst was close and guessed from Kelly's stunt that the runner had been called out
Mw slowed up, Kelly spun around and yelled for1 the ball. Tucker had his head
f and whipped the bait home. Kelly caught It with his bare hands, blocking
Burkett oft the plata meanwhile, and applied tha onion where it would do the
yaoat good. Burkett waa out, and one of tha few close games of that world series
was saved.
BUT taking It all in all, Tyrus tho Great seems to havo tho edge on the
star of '92. Never having seen Kelly play, it is hard to draw a real
eoraporlson, but after looking over tho records, the Georgia slugger elands
ut art haying accomplished more for his team than any one else In the

THK dopeeter and iure-thlnp predictors
are asaln In a Jam. After virtually
making a runaway of the Delaware County
League race, Frank roth's aggregation of
high-priced talent Is gradually falling by the
wayside. The Upland nine, piloted hy
another Frank, with Miller at the finish,
l coming with a rush and on the morning
of July 4th. In the City of Chester, the two
teams meet again. A run for the town
made famous by home-run Daker will tie
up the race and on the other hand a victory
for Chester gives that club the gonfalon
In the Weeks' circuit for the first half,
which ends with the Fourth of July.
Upland Showing Best Form
The Upland squad, at this writing. Is
playing the best game. It haa lost three
games, as against two for Its opponents,
but the brand of ball flashed by the
former champions Is of a higher stand
ard. Thla Is dlsolosed by a rlance at the
records. Although Chester has the best
of the series, two to one, the Uplsnd boys
have outhlt their opponents by a fair mar
gin In the three games played.
Since Decoration Day the runners-un
have been flashing the best ball In the
league. On that occasion they dropped
two encounters, losing to Brill in the a. m.
