A went a loi'B way In dcclillnir Johnny
Mealy a victor over Louisiana In ft great
innteet and the final to a regular bann-up
Mine Jamboree Kvery one nf the five
fracases was of hlgh-vi-ntcr caliber, nnd It
took a terrific tussle to overshadow the
four prelims That was exactly what the
,.iy.I)Ulslana melee could be labeled, a
torrid bout teeminR with action throughout
The entire pror.ili proved that Hobby
rnnnlss Isn t the worst matchmaker In the
world, an none of the bouts was In anyway
"jiealy he of knockout reputation, crossed
' the dope by starting out to win on points
He allowed Loulsl to take up the nggres
sive end of the mixing, nnd after the first
frame finished about BO-IiO. loulslana's
fnrcInK Rave him the better of the second
round He backed Mealy around the ring
with left hooks from the distance, and
made John hold nt close quarters, because
of body smashes.
Right Drops Louisi
With the sound of the gong beginning
the third period "Mealy switched his tac
tics and only a few seconds after the round
rot' under wny Johnny- dropped a right
hinder on Louisiana's chin that would have
felled a horse The wallop knocked down
Loulsl all right and tho back of the fallen
fistlcufflan's head hit tho canvas with a re
sounding thud But that Loulsl has a hard
head was evident as he wns up on his feet
before Referee O'Brien could even start to
However the compact of leather against
Jawbone and head against canvas shook up
Louisiana so much that he appeared to bo
In poor shape 111" knees were veohbly, and
as Mealy came tearing In Loulsl was forced
tralnst the ropes But Louisiana ucd
rood judgm-nt nnd covered up nicely,
Mealy' terrific left and right banders
trashing against gloves. Before tho round
ended, though. Louisiana was himself apaln,
and he had Mealy on the hot foot. Loulsl
made a brilliant rally, nnd was going
Itrongly at the bell
Wades Into Mealy
Louisiana continued on the nggressivo In
the fourth, coming out of his corner none
the worse after the knockdown of tho prc

with left hooks that landed on tho Jaw. I

head. While Mealy continually backed
away, holding off tho rushing nnd enraged
Louisiana with left Jalw, tho latter took
III the chances nnd made a strenuous effort
to cross a punch that would even up the
knockdown score This was Louisiana's
m.fi with nlentv to snare
Mealy didn't switch from boxing In the
fifth, although sevcraj times he stopped
ihort to ?hoot over a right bander or pick
out a good, stiff left hook. Johnny gave n
rood exhibition of footwork in this session,
and he had Louisiana missing healthy slams
br Inches simetlmcs by. feet, and once
Loulsl's distance was so poor he almost
turned a somersault, very nearly landing
en, his head Mealy's cleverness gave him
the round by a margin on points
The sixth section was a humdinger for
speed, cleverness, slugging and hard punch
ing Respective constituens of both were
I ' rilne Ihelr favorite on for a kayo, and It
WJl' tannot be denied that each tried his utmost.

without question.

HEINIEZIM STARS
FOR PAY-NEARLY
Might Have Furnished Feat
ure News, But He Held
Back Punch at Byron
KILLEFER'S HITS COUNT
The big feature of yesterday's baseball
happenings, exclusive of Chicago's double
victory oer Washington, a duplication of
tho feat of Tuesday, Bill Klllefer's timely
walloping against Matty's Hedlegs, the fact
that the Pirates got themselves together
nnd won a double-header from the Braves,
did NOT occur. Heinle the Zlm. better
known as Heinle Zimmerman, as popular
with tho umpires as speeding nutolsts to
the South Jersey "constables," came mighty
close to furnishing the major portion of the
news. Zimmerman made two lilts yesterday
while tho Giants were winning the third
straight from the Cubs, nnd at ono tlmo bo
got as far as third baso. Ho figured that
he could get homo ahead of the ball, and
he took tho chance. Heinle stnrted for
the counting station with the ball In play,
and made a beautiful attempt to Imitate the
famous Tyrus He thought ho made the
counting station easily, but Umpire Byron
declared him out Byron, previous to the
Zimmerman decision, hA'l ben going nlcelv
with the New York- Crowd, but nt this
point spilled tho beansj .Heinle was so
peeved at the chlrplng'UiVip that he made a
motion to strike William, but the latter
backed away, and before hostilities became
serious, he meaning Zimmerman wns car
ried away by other Giants, and under orders
from Byron to decornte the clubhouse. Pol
Perrltt twirled for tho leaders, and ho was
steady enough to beat tho mistaken
miracles.
One Run Off Eleven Hits
A feature of the Phils' victory was the
fact that Cincinnati scored only one run
after making eleven hits. Cravath, Pas
kert. Chase and Griffith each hit doubles
and Bill Klllefer's two singles drove In
enough runs to win. Fred Toney lost the
decision and Krsklne Mayer received credit
for the victory Captain Luderus continued
to hit tho ball safely and got one out of
three. Ten Redlegs passed away on the
bases.
Ty Cobb, as usual, was tryln' at all times
while the Tigers split a pair with the
Macks. He .has hit consecutively In five
games to date, starting Sunday, both games
Tuesday and yesterday. Stuffy failed In the
first game, but secured two out of three In
the final.
Joe Benz wns responsible for the first
victory scored by the White Sox. nllowlng
Washington but thiee singles He per
sonally made a double. Frank Baker got
his eye on tho ball and helped the Y'ankees
win tho odd game from Cleveland, getting
four hits out of five visits. Frank also
stole two bases. Speaker secured two out of
five and scored a run Chapman, short
stopping for the Indians, hantlled twelve
chances nicely Joe Pugan, debuting with
the A's, failed In the first, but got tfo out
of three In the get-away bout Mickles

moves to St Louis, the three teams contln.
ulng the great battle for tho cellar cham
pionship. The Boston-Chicago series, open
ing today, will have a whole lot to do with
the A. L. standing J Smith got his usual
dally single and Walt Crulso ngaln fell by
the wayside Eddie Housh copped one out
of four off Mayer. Georgo Slsler failed to
hit in four visits against Carl Mays, and
the latter finally stopped the Browns, who
had begun to make life unbearable for tho
champions. Jake Daubert got back Into the
Brooklyn line-up after nn absence of sev
eral weeks, but failed tb connect. Hornsby
got a pair In four efforts. Jim inorpe oaueu
In the ninth for Toney, but did not put the
ball Into the bleachers.
Baker Back in the Big Five
As a result of his good work In the Tan-kees-CIeveland
finale, Frank Baker has re
sumed a place among the five leading bat
ters In the American League He batted
so well yesterday that he not only arrived,
but has passed over our own Stuffy Mclnnls
and his former slde-klclt by a margin of
two points. Cobb remains at the top of the
Johnson speed kings' line-up and Is thirty
two points in tho lead of Speaker, who yes
terday shoved George Slsler Into third place.
Walt Cruise has been a little off In his hit
ting, having failed for two consecutive days
and Eddie Uoush has secured a tie hold on
first. Both are centerflelders, Beds and
Cards, respectively, and are batting 321,
whfch Is forty-three points less than Cobb's
average. Hornsby has moved Into third
place, Nealo Into fourth and our old fa
vorite subject, Bill Fischer, has dropped out
of eight. If memory serves correctly this
Is the first time this season Bill has fallen
from grace and the new man Is George
Burns, of the Giants. Oawge had three out
of four yesterday and Is batting three
points better than .300.

"I
F THBBE Is a knockout In the Kilbane-
night I'll make a bet right now that Johnny
will not be on the receiving end," said
Bobby Ounniss. the peerless matchmaker,
ns he watched the featherweight champion
go through his dally workout in the Op'ry
House in Lelperville yesterday. Bobby
was a close observer all afternoon and
based his Judgment on his ability to size up
a boxer while training In a gymnasium
"This fellow Kilbane Is the hardest hit
ter I have ever seen," continued Bobby,
"and If he ever shoots that right across to
Leonard's Jaw Benny will lose all Interest
In tho proceedings and take a short sleep
right In front of the mob which will at
tend the show at Shlhe Park I now know
why Johnny is featherweight champion and
the likely possessor of the lightweight title
He has the wallop, and knows how to use
It I'd hate to be Leonard next Wednesday
night."
Audience Is Surprised
Kilbane gave a wonderful exhibition of
punching yesterday and surprised the huge
audience that found its way into Jimmy
Dougherty's favorite village. He scored a
clean knockdown over Jimmy Dunn, his
manager and chief sparring partner, and
almost ended the day's work then and
there.
Johnny was boxing with Downes and did
not work fast enough to suit Dunn.
"Hey. quit that stalling!' he yelled. "Do
some work and loaf after j.ou get through.
Get up some speed and stop acting Ilka a
truck horse "
"I'm doing this," Kilbane flashed back.
"If jou think I am stalling Just put on the
gloves yourself nnd find out."
Dunn Is Knocked Down
Jimmy Jumped into the arena and put
on the gloves. He rushed -Kilbane. but was
met with a stiff left Jab which sent his
head back He rushed again and this time
landed a hard right on Johnny's head. This
seemed to Infuriate the little champion nnd
he tore Into his heavier foe like a tiger
pouncing upon its prey. In a mlx-up Kil
bane shot his right to the Jaw and Dunn
dropped ns if shot. He was up In an ln
stnnt. but cut out the mauling tactics. He
had enough for one day.
Johnny nnd Jimmy pull that little trick
quite often. The object Is for Dunn to
catch the punch with his glove and do It
so quickly that the audience can't see It.
Then when he falls, there Is a shout of
amazement and every one heglns counting
him out. Perhaps this was the stunt yes
terday, but there was only one thing wrong
with It. Jimmy didn't get his glove up
In time and received the full Impact of
the blow on his unprotected Jaw.
Used 14-Ounce Glove
He went to the mat because he couldn't
help It and the remarkable part of It all
was that Kilbane wore 14-ounce sparring
gloves If he can Inflict damage on a
clever 160-pound boxer with those pillows
on his mitts, what will he do to a 133
pounnder when regulation gloves are used?
Answer It yourself.
Kilbane Is training In a camp which re
minds one of the stories of the olden days
In tho West The training quarters are In
the huge frame Op'ry House building and
all of the work Is done on the board floor
In the middle of the room. On each fide are
chairs to accommodate a couple of hundred
spectators and In one corner Is the platform
for the punching bag. In another corner
Is a piano, but that Is allowed to have a
vacation. One can't play very well with
boxing gloves
Spent Busy Day
Johnny was kept busy yesterday. First
he sent his wife and little daughter to At
lantic City and then posed for more pho
tographs After that, he took a ride In the
old hose cart owned by the Lelperville
Fire Company, while a dozen prominent
citizens pulled It through the street there
being but one thoroughfare This hose cart

the entry list Is as large as In other years
when generous prizes were awarded In the
various nights. While some of the men v
who have been prominent among the con

list contains the names of a number of
golfers who are equally prominent
Heading the list are such players as
Harold B. McFarland, of Huntingdon Val
ley, several times the chamnlon nf Phila
delphia and possibly the finest golfer ever
developed In the Quaker City; Beggy i
Worthlngton. twice winner of the tourna.
rnent; Edward Clarey, one of the bright
Woodbury stars; Alex Coles, of the Coun
try Club: Jim McFarland. the brilliant
brother of Harold; A. Z. Huntington, pos
sibly the best tjlayer in the mMitu. ..in

youthful Frankford player who has been
putting up some very fine golf this year:
Edward Satterthwatte. for years' one of
the leaders In Philadelphia golf; Phil Cor

In the four flights, while prizes -will be also
awarded to the winners of the beaten eights
in the shape of bronze medals. In addition I
the club gives to each winner a certain turn,
which he must give to one of the various

follows: ,
First sixteen, winner (136, runner-upi$70;
second sixteen, winner $50, runner-up JSO;
