future It will bo a happy family, beeiuisp everybody nova

j It was the judge himself who brought about this stule
of nfTnlrn. Hizzonner is not n sup by nny menu'. That
f J!50,000 job wns handed out on n nilver platter, but the)
Witched the dlih in the ery firm meeting. Judge I,am!K
who had his legnl ear perked up, detected a hour note in

and gave the new commissioner as much power ns the

this shennnlgnn business on the very first day. An ordi

back in step.
The Idea, nppnrentl, was to take things easy in the
gambling probe. The nine members of the White Sox

According to gossip, Kcveral of the bojs are In danger of
going into involuntary retirement if their cases nre put up
to Judge I.nndlx. This is only gossip, but ou never
can tell.
Perhaps the magnates planned to deal leniently with
the offenders nnd hand out suspensions instead of kicking
them out of baseball. This would not wreck the clubs nor

Dehnert and di sires the facts in the
case to become known so that the fol
lowers of the Phillies will know that
he is sincere in ills efforts to place a
winning club on the iloor. Here is his
explanation :
"Dehnuit 'nine to Camden on
Wedni-sday night and said he was nble
to secure n much better figure for pin)
ing elsewhere in the Fasteru League
than I had ngreed to pay him Lnst
xveek txvo clubs offered to buy his re

nexvs that McMuhon had been dropped
came about was this:
"The tuIch call for eight players with

This little document, which was drnwn up by (leorge
Wharton l'cpper, of Philadelphia, binds the magnates to
everlasting pence. They cannot utter n squawk after
decisions have been rendered, nor can they pan the Judge.
In other words, I.nndis will be right when he Is wrong.
From now on there will be n strange hush In baseball
circles, which will be n tremendous change from whnt has
been the custom. Some of the pnitlcs concerned will hne
to gag themselves to live up to the pledge, but this will
be done. Xo longer will the Loyal" Five and the Itnttllug
Three wnge guerrilla warfare in the Amerlcnn League.
Han Johnson will he n perfectly good president nnd nil
of the troubles will be told to the judge.
1117onnrr had a few significant remarks to make about
gambling In baseball
"There must not be any cheap, shoestring gamblers nt
ball games," he said. "Their betting must bo stopped.
The effect on the other spectators Is had. I nm of the
opinion that club owners con control this matter, but If
they ennnot they can get help from the commissioner, nnd
I think he can find a way to put an end to the evils."
That statement shows that Judge I.nndis is prepared
to do some thorough houseclennlng nnd will not stand for
nny excuse from the magnates. His word will be law
and there arc better times in prospect for bnseball. The
gambling clement will be denned out of the clubs nnd the
btauds. This has been decided and there will be no let-up.
THE judge took tin proper stand nt the very start,
proved that he cas host and should have little
trouble in the future.
Big Deal Hatching
ONE of the bitter disappointments of the meeting was
the absence of big tindes. Last week it was pre
dicted that five clubs in the National would swing n
gigantic deal In which many plnjers would be trans
ferred to new uniforms. Mnrnuvillc. Groh, Ktxey, Max
Carey, Snyder nnd many others were involved, but up to
now nothing has been done.
Jnwn Mcdraw wants plnjers So does Pittsburgh.
The Pirates were after Marnnvillc, but their proposition
was turned down, (ieorge Gibson said lie made such n
liberal offer tbut to make it public would make him look
foolish. Can jou ininglne nny liberal offer coming from
Drey fuss? Anyway, the Pittsburgh end is nil cold nnd
the other clubs are resting ipiletly.
The Chicngo Cubs niso nre in the market for players
nnd n healthy bankroll has been placed on exhibition.
Johnny Ever also wants Mnrrtnville, but the Rabbit will
go to New York if McOrnw wonts him. Cincinnati is
said to be willing to part with Groh for a consideration,
so that's another angle to be considered.
BEFORE the little birdi arc rlnrprny and the Mini
inniccrs are working in the front yard a big deal
trill be put through. It's in the irind, and the
sooner it is made the quicker.

WILDE OUT IN 17TH
Former Bantam King Finishes
English Pride Referee
Halts Bout
London, Jan. 14. Pete Hctniun, the
American hantatnxvciEht, knocked out
Jimmy Wilde, the pride of Oieat
Hritaln and flyweight champion of the
xxorld. in tlio seventeenth round f.f
their twenty-round bout In Albert Hall
here last night.
The referee stopped the bout in the
seventeenth nnd awnrded the decision
to Herman nfter Wilde lincl been
knocked doxvn three times and was
practically helpless. (This is accepted
as n technical knockout).
Wilde made n gnme stnnd to the en
cournging shouts of his followers, but
wns in difficulty in the fiftceuth. Her
man drove him to the ropes nnd with
n left to the ribs and a vicious light
to the jaw sent his little opponent liaeu
on his heels nnd appeared to have him
groggy and half out. It looked like the
finish, but the bell saved W ilde.
The AVelshmnn managed to stand up
through the sixteenth round, but Her
man fnirl) cut him to pieces in the
seventeenth, and nftcr he had -ent linn
to the Iloor three times the referee
stepped in.
Wilde Inspired his ndmirers with
grent hopes during the first five rounds,
as he outpointed Hennnn handily. It
looked ns though the fl) weight was a
sure winner, ns he outboxed Herman
in every round und landed u number of
stinging blows. Put Herman begnn to
carrv the battle to the little felloxv after
the fifth session, nnd the advantage al
ternated till the fifteenth, when Pile
began to shoxv weakness from the fast
pace at which Herman wns carr)lng
him. , .
In this round it wns conceded that
Herman hud the udxoutuge m points,
although Wilde xvns still lighting with
great spirit. It was In the fifteenth that
Herman landed the blows that virtually
won the battle for him. The boys hnd
come to close quarters ut the ropes
and Herman shot u henx) left to the
body that staggered the lly weight. Her
man followed instnntl) with n stiff right
to the jnw. which sent Wilde reeling
nbout the ling.
Herman sprang nt Iuh opponent and
tried hard to end the contest then and
tin re. but before u settling blow could
be landed the bell enme to the relief of
Wi'de. , ,
The midget came out for the sixteenth
nncl showed considerable vigor, consid
ering the force of the blows landed in
the preceding session, und he got
through the round without special duin
age. Hut the peventeenMi had bandy got
under way when Hermnn landed n right
to the jaw which sent Wilde spinning
through the ropes. He climbed buck
cpilcklv, only to get unothei punch on
the jaw, nnd again he tumbled thiuugh
the ropes.
With fine courage the flyweight, now
xxubbly nnd henvy ecd, pu'led himself
bock into the ring, nnd the watchful
Herman promptly knocked him through
tho ropes for the third time.
He cou d barely stnnel on his leet us
he ogain crawled thinngh the inpes uud
one more punth xxould have pui him to
sleep.
Herman advanced on tlio little felloxv
nnd drexv back to strike, but ( orii,
making a barrier of his 200 pounds,
stepped in front of Wi'de, c ought the
defeated bo) us he wos about to topple
over and carried him to his corner
It xvas n sensational ending to u spoi -taculnr
encounter, nnd the effect on the
croxx-d xvns most dispiriting
Herman surprised the crowd bx his
boxing, xxhich discounted Wilde's ug
gresniveness. The Amerlcnn fought a
sportsmanlike contest throughout nnd
xvns well received hy tne spectators. He
will hall home Satiirdii) and s.i.xs lie
hopes again to meet Lxncli, to whom
he recently lost the x'or'd s chuuipion
ship in a bout In MnAisou Square Oui

TRYING TO BEAT GUN
IS COMMON FAILING
In
Sport, as in Other Lines, Few Ever Think of Starling

But It's Wrong

the main
troubles with
illntlnn In gcncrnl, . re
marked The Philosopher. "Is this
every one Is looking for n shade before
the start. This applies to both indi
viduals nnd nations. Thev never think
about starting on a fifty-fifty bnls and
letting merit decide the issue. They nil
work or piny or tight on the theory that
n match well made is two-thirds won.
They nil want to beat the gun. They
nie not content to get nxvny xvitli nn
ex en break. They waste enough time'
and worry nnd cffoit In scheming for
the best of it to get In good enough
shape to win, even if they had the xvorst
of the start '
"This applies to sport as well as
business. It's the old human earning
to put something over thnt xvlll Indicate
shrewdness or smartness.
In Short, for Example
rpAKK sport, for example," he
J- I'oiitinued. "Footbnll is one of
our finest, clennest sports. Yet in foot
ball we've gone In for secret practice,
nn army of scouts spotting rival tennis..
nnd II timl- fllnm (U'ii VClllH to tfel most
of them numbered, because each one
xvas nfrnld he xxould lose some slight
1 advantage. And If a lot of colleges
hnviu't got winners, n lot of Old Grnds
immediately hiiHtle out to rustle up
1'iiniiL'li tnli'nt lo fill the calls.
"Ill bnsebnii nny umpire is unfair
who won't give you nil the close ones.
No one remembers the close ones that
are given, only those that are slipped
to the other team.
"The golfer xxnstcs ten minutes nt
the sturt in an argument to get the
extra atroke that ought to make it n
cinch.
"And in matchmaking in boxing it is
nil u mutter of gnibbing every ndx-nn-tage
in sight.

-L Sure, but that doesn't menu it's
right. Do jou recall Terry MeGovcrn
and Kid LaxIgneV Now, there xvero a
couple xvho never bothered nbout a fexv
extra pounds. They xxere fighters xvho
loved the gome. Hat Nelson today would
be n much bigger figure in the tradition
of the ring It lie hadn't let Hilly Nolan
force Joe Cans to make 13.1 pounds
ringside, xvitli his fighting costume on.
That xvas the last word In reaching for
the shade.
"The Germans, tried to get the simile
by crushing through Belgium in spite
of treaty obligations,. This protebly cost
them the final decision, for it lined up
nntions ugninst them that otlierxviso
might hnxc been neutral."
Gixing the Simile
AVI'.TKHAN observer once nsked U
veteran spoilsman, xxho had been
through the long grind of the gnme for
ox-er twenty-live years, xxhot he consid
ered the best piece of individual philos
ophy n mnn could use.
"Verj ensil." the veteran sportsman
leplied. "It's this-glxe the other fel
