MORAN IS BEATEN
BY JACK DILLON
Pittsburgh Heavyweight Lacks

t
Special to the Telegraph
Brooklyn, N. Y., June 30.—More
than 20,000 fight fans crowded Fed
oral League Ball Park last night and
saw Jack Dillon, of Indianapolis,
weighing 169 pounds in ring costume,
beat Frank Moran, of Pittsburgh, who
scaled 204V4 pounds stripped, in a
10-round bout Moran. fat, slow and
apparently untrained, blew up after
the third round, and after that session
was a veritable target for Dillon.
In each round from the third he
went to his corner bleeding from the
mouth and nose, where he had been
pummeled by Dillon's right at close
<Tuarter& Dillon missed a splendid
chance to win by a knockout in the
fourth round. Moran had missed a
right-hand lead and Dillon caught him
with left and right before he could
recover.
Ri£ht Swing On Chin
The right swing caught Moran flush
on the chin. The blow dazed the
blond-haired heavyweight for an in
stant and he ducked away. Dillon, in
stead of following up the advantage,
stepped back. Moran then rushed into
a clinch and held on until Referee
Matt Hinkle tore them apart. Moran
had regained his bearings and the
opportunity was lost.
Some of the blows landed on Dil
lon's shoulders, others on his head,
while a score missed their intended
mark.
All the while Dillon was pegging
away, landing often on Moran's mid
section, until the fourth round, when
he began to get busy on Moran's jaw.
At close quarters he landed three
blows to one.
For the first three rounds Moran's
height and reach played a most im
portant part in the contest. He was
able to stab Dillon with his left almost ,
at will, but the blows lacked force and
were badly timed. He led with his I
right, but the arm might as well have 1
been tied to his body. It was Dillon's
battle.

SATURDAY PLAN
Previous Arrangements With
Motive Power Association
Prevents Double-header
Failure to make earlier arrange
ments, due to the uncertainty of base- j
ball in Harrlsburg, may bring a
change in plans to-morrow. "Bill" j
Coughlin with his Scranton team, who f
is here to-day. Is scheduled for two
games to-morrow. This is impossible
because of the game between the
Harrlsburg and New York Motive
Power teams. Scranton will not have |
any more Sunday baseball, and a game
in that city Is said to be out of the
question.
It looks like one game with the 1
! miners. Final arrangements with the
j Motive Power Association have not
been completed. Secretary Frank
Frank Seiss wa sworking hard to-day
to bring about a satisfactory adjust
ment. It is too late to cancel the
! game with New York, and there may
! be a doubleheader with the railroaders
as the opening attraction.
One-Sided Battle
The battle yesterday was one sided,
i Wilkes-Barre won out score 11 to 2.
: Kutz the former Allentown Tri-State
| twirler had bunches of puzzlers and 1
'he worked them satisfactorily. In the
j meantime Volz with his wild heaves
, was unable to stop the Barons' big
| sticli Kerns who went in after the
seventh inning had nothing. Local
hitters were also out of work, and it j
• wan an easy win for Noonan's boys. !
The game while one sided in results I
and hitting, had some interesting fea- j
, tures. Harrsburg's fieldng was lack- '
{ ing, errors of omission and commission !
being big factors. The score in de- \
: tail follows and will explain further j
! why Harrisburg did not win. The

HONOR BIRTH OF
BASEBALL GAME
Home of National Sport Has
Great Celebration; President
John K. Tener Participates
Cooperstown, N". Y., June 80. —Cele
bration of "the birth of baseball" in
Cooperstown was begun here yester
day in connection with the opening
of a new railroad passenger station.
H. M. Hempstead, president of the
New York National League Baseball
Club, WBs among the early arrivals,
and John K. Tener, president of t.he
National League, was to be a speaker.
A special baseball commission ap
pointed by the National and American
Leagues in 1907 declared that baseball
was first played in Cooperstown. This
wrs said to be as early as 1839.
General Abner Doubleday, a West
Point graduate and a native of Coop
erstown, was credited by the speakers
as being the originator of the modern
game. It was he, according to Presi
dent Tener, who first laid out the base
ball diamond and fixed the strategical
positions of the players, the funda
mental features of which, he said, de
spite many changes in the rules and
methods of the game, never have been
improved upon.
First Ball Game
The game was first played near the
t,chool on the present site of what Is
known as Phlnney's lot. It is probable
that the matter of erecting a suitable
marker on this spot will be discussed
during the stay of the baseball men.

game consisted of hitting a ball and j
running to a stone, which served as a |
base, about fifty feet distant. The
players of the opposing side, eleven in
number, were scattered about the field j
to catch the ball and throw it at thef
runner. If the latter was hit by the
ball before he reached the base he was
out. After a time to add to the interest
of the game three bases were used.
Diamond Inventor
The diamond form was not origin
ated by Doubleday however, but by
Alexander Cartright, who afterward
formed the first regular baseball club
in New York, called the Knickerbock
ers, and took part in drafting the first
set of rules to govern the game.
Doubleday was born in Ballston Spa
in 1819, and his centenary three years
hence will be made the occasion of a
great celebration, it is expected. He
graduated from West Point in 1842,
fought in the Mexican and Beminole
wars and was second in command at
Fort Sumter at the outbreak of the
Civil war. He aimed and ftred the
first gun discharged on the Union side
in that historic conflict. In the bloody
years that followed he played the
man's part and attained the rank of
major general. As a soldier he was
brave and able, modest and amiable.
Bits From Sportland
The Pennsylvania Railroad Motive
Power team will meet New York at
Icland Park to-morrow afternoon.
Winning the game means much for
the local team, as Harrisburg is tie
with Trenton for first hondrs. The
Pennsylvania Railroad League race is
interesting. The locals last season lost
cur through an unfair ruling, and this
season are strong contenders for hon
ors. Trenton must be beaten to win
ttie race. New York is a hard proposi
tion and In the elimination games
must also he put out of the running
if possible. Arrangements have been
made for a big crowd.
JUNE 9k***>
WELLY'S M CORNER
Successful baseball depends upon
patronage, and not wholly on the
ability of a manager, was an opinion
expressed yesterday by a local en
thuhiast. He was sore all over be
cause of the attendance. "There Is
no better baseball possible outside of
tlie major leagues," he added, Yes
terday's game while loosely played
had many interesting features.
If Harrisburg's reputation as a
bPvSeball town is to be maintained fans
must do better at Island Park than
ha« been recorded this week. While
weather conditions hurt Tuesday's at
tendance, there was no excuse for
the small crowds on Wednesday and
yesterday. Manager CockiU wants to
strengthen the team, but according to
hir own words, "must have the pat
ronage to enable us to do It."
Albany handed Scranton a white
wash yesterday. Bill Coughlin is suf
fering for the want of pitchers. The
score, 2 to 0, was the result of a battle
between pitchers, one of whom was
Higgins, the only man Scranton can
depend on according to reports.
St. Paul's A. C. wants a game for
July 4. The manager says he can
offer a good attraction. A number of
local teams have lost July 4 games
because of cancellations due to the
disbandment of several teams.
Syracuse continued the slaughter of
Elmira yesterday, winning by a score
of 3 to 2. Frlel had the best of a
mound argument. Lew Rltter and
Ills Utica team handed Blnghamton a
Jolt, winning by a score of 5 to 2.
Breaking two course records at
Minneapolis yesterday, at Minneapolis,
Charles Evans, Jr., western golf cham
pion scoring 129 strokes for the first
36 holes of the National open cham
pionship. He led a field of 64 experts
by three strokes. Wilfred Roid, of
Wilmington was second.
Mel Sheppard would not enlist as
a real soldier but accepted a position
as physical instructor for the Sixty
ninth New York Regiment. He gave
no reasons for declining to take the
oath, but It Is the belief he feared he
would be unable to meet his engage
ments if he went to Mexico.
Sl'm Sallee. pitching star of the St.
Louis Nationals has retired from , the
game. He was suspended two -weeks
ago for leaving the club without per
mission while in New York, and has
been sore ever since. He is wanted
by New York who offers SIO,OOO for
this twirler.
Rosewood shut out the Galahads
last night in the Allison Hill League,
maintaining the lead. The score 6 to
0, came as a result of persistent hit
ling by the champions. Bower at sec
ond was a big star.
