THE DAYS OF

TERMS FOR THE PROPOSED
DEMPSEY-FULTON BATTLE
Veteran Would Have Heavies Fight 25 Rounds on Iso

'"D'SL'IIU nnd have me comln' out of

er know- it kinder makes me look good.
I don't care 'bout m'Felf, but there's
others that might get thlr goods on me,"
grunted L'nk ltusscjl, tin-cared son of
swat, as he carefully took very liberal
mouthfuls of a cruller and an equally
liberal swallow of coffee. "J like ta talk
about the old days and I will In time."
A few- mornings ago Unk was en-,

lunch houses. He was surrounded b
a gathering of fight follower? Kvery
one h.1d something to say about the
liojs In the good olds ,-lajs but Unk,
who was very clamish. He was so
much occupied In disposing of the cold
crullers and the icy coffee that he was
uiiiirep.il ed for any kind of a verbal
attack.
Unk, the Silent
It is a difficult job to get Fnk started.
He has much very Interesting dope
stowed away In that battered dome of
his and It would remain a secret If some
one didn't take a chance and extract a
few- stray words from his very silent
lli
The well-versed fight gnther'ng which
surrounded him discussed the old-timers,
some not as old. and even Jack Brltton.
The mention of Brilton's name Imme
diately revived the recent battle at Shlbe
Park. Anythlng'that pertains to a boost
for the model n-day battler Is very pain
ful to Unk.
It is especially exruclatlng when men
tion Is made of the very liberal financial
returns. Unk never received much money
for his ring work. He giorles In it
and looks down upon the high-priced
boys.
'ought for Glory
Back 111 the old days the boys fought
for glory, Unk received the gloiy and
no more That is the reason today we
find lihiv a detective in the emploj of a
railroad. To look nt Unk you w n'd
take him for anything hut a member
of the Sherlock fiateinit). but tn . ut
our well-known sleuths aie dlsgui-ed
Nature, aided by the markings of a ring
career, qualified Unk for this task.
Ah Unk unostentatiously unbuttoned
his coat. Just as quietly threw- b.Ttk his
shoulders and permitted his coat to flap
freely in the breeze as he Journecd
south on Broad street this breezy morn
ing the natives, the few- who were on
the main thoroughfare, were treated to
a great treat with every flare of the
breeze there was a flap of the coat and
with everj; flap there was exposed to
full glare a gleaming, sc'ntillating,
highly polished star.
Without any concern, Unk puffed
away on the butt of what once was a
fair cigar, Tttbugh It never would be re?
ognlzed It was badly torn from the
twisting It was forced to undergo on
the long Journejs from one side of Unk's
mouth to the other Between flaps of
the coat and the gleaming glare of the
shining badge, emblematic of his highly
exalted position .as railroad detective,
Unk started to ramble.
Oh, the Hams!
"How these here guys get away with
what they do now, I dunno," grumbled
the battered ex-warrlor as he shuffled
along. "It do beat all ! Kin you 'mag

"But kin yer think of anythin' wurser

real dough to flght? The hams' Der
yer know whamughter be done? Well,
I'll tell yer make 'em fight twenty-five
loiinds and give twenty-five cents of the
purse to the tlovernment."
Then Unk hesitated. He carefully
glanced at each one of his three listen
ers. When they gave him a silent nod
of approval he slowly shifted the rem
nants of the weed to the Inactive side
of his mouth and continued to whisper.
Would Pinch 'Em
"Ves, they should give twenty-five
cents to tlve cause, those hams! Make
'em go twenty-five rounds. If I had my
way I'd pinch 'em for Jest gettln' In the

in the old days when a benefit wns gave

benefit. I had ter borry the nickel to
git up there from drays Kerry. Well.
I was glad to do anythin' to help old
Peter nnd I knocked out the first guy1

more action. I took on another lough
guy and put him away. I did my best,
then had ter walk home without getting

That was when I made that, ture of the

New Leaders in Two Leagues
B O, Dun & Co. ousted the Union
A. A., of Lansdovvne, from the lead In
the Main Line League by defeating the
home team, 4-1. The victory was
achieved chiefly as the result of Orevill's
masterly twirling. The star fllngcr of
the Commercial Balers was In fine fettle
nnd let his opponents down with four
hits and whiffed thirteen by the air
route. ,r'
Two other games were played, and
In each instance they were determined
by the samo figures, 2-1. Autocar's vic
tory over Warwick boosted last year's
winners to a tie with Lansdowne for
second place. "Lefty" Black pitched a
wonderful game and held Warwick to a
single hit, Second Baseman Illley rob
bing tho Autocar hurler of a no .hit
gome. J & J. Dobson made It two wins
In a row by defeating Wayne. Charley
Glock performed In his usual fine style
nnd had the Wayne batsmen at his
mercy throughout the entire nine in
nings. Ambler and Doylestown met In a
game upon which hinged first place In
the Montgomery County League. Pre
vious to Saturday Doylestown headed
the race, and when Ambler won, 4-2, the
leaders were humbled to third position,
while Southampton and Ambler now
share the topmost riTTig "Knotts" Mayer
had the better of "Pete" Llebert, but Am
bler bunched five of Its raven hits In the
eighth for three counters, the final tally
being 4-2.
Souderton shut out Fort Washington,
4-0. Warren Dungan, who worked a no
hlt game the previous week, was found
for ten safeties, while Dannenhovver al
lowed Fort Washington four hits.
Hog Iflaiul Keeps H Up
Hog Island launched another victory
In the Delaware Blver Ship League,
making It six straight wins for Johnny
Castle's aggregation. New York Ship
was on the losing end of a 3 to 2 de
cision and ft marked the seventh in a
row decided by a single counter In
which the Jerseymcn have been partici
pants The victory for Hog Island
boosted tho locals to second place and
lowered New York n peg to thirdvriosl
tlon. Barnard, the losing hurler, kept
the Hog Island total safeties down to
four, while New- York compiled nine,
hut every one of the local safeties was
for extra bases. Including three doubles
nnd a triple, and it was this feature of
the affair that decided the Issue in favor
of Hog Island.
Sun Ship's star line-up took Pusey &
Jones Into camp by 2 to 0. At Cornvvells
the Harlan nnd Traylor aggregations
staged a weird exhibition, lirrors of
omission and errors of commission were
a predominating factor. The latter
were piled up to the number of nine,
three being credited to Harlan and
double that total to Traylor, Frank
Miller nnd his Chester clan won Its sixth
straight at the expense of Merchants,
5 to 2. The leaders presented a crippled
line-up, with Pitcher Earl Twining out
of action with a bad arm and Mashern.

In a creditable manner, pitching himself
out of several tight holes.
