HARRY POLLOCK
IS HARD LOSER
Kefusus to Admit That Welsh
Must Turn Title Over to
Leonard
New York. May 30.—Harry Pol
lock, manager of Freddie Welsh, is
sued a statement last night in which 1
he claimed that Welsh is still the
lightweight champion, basing his as
sertion on Utile 5 of the Marquis of
Queensburg rules, which reads: "A
man hanging on the ropes in a help
less state with his toes off the
ground shall be considered down."
"Benny Leonard and his manager.
Billie Gibson, are. 1 am sure, too
thorough sportsmen to even consider
claiming u championship based up-;;
on such an erroneous interpretation
of the rules under which the battle :
was waged," says Pollock. "No man
can dare say whuv would have been ,
the ultimate outcome of the contest
had McPartland lived up to the ;
rules and given Welsh his due in a j
nine seconds count before calling '
him 'out." Fighters have time and
again been 'out.' 'dead to the world.' ' ,
saved by the bell on the ninth count
and come on in the succeeding round
to be determined winners."
Rule 12 of the tiueensbury rules
says: j
"The cbntest in all other respects !
to be governed by the revised rules
of the London prwe ring." ,
liule S of the revised code of the .
London rules reads:
"The referee shall have power to ■.
stop the contest if in his opinion a
man is unfit to continue." '
Rules Observed ,
Followers of boxing agreed that
this rule fully governed the bout be
tween Leonard and Welsh and that
the referee. "Kid" McPartland, was
fully justified in stopping the bout j
because Welsh WAS "unfit to con
tinue" and giving the victory to
Leonard.
Benny Leonard did not celebrate
his victory over Freddie Welsh in
the general way that such events are
signalized. There was no "setting s
them up" for all the boys by the s
new champion.
But there was A celebration a
family affair only—and right in <f
Benny's own home. Within half an j
hour after he had come into the c
lightweight championship of the (
world he was in the arms of his (
mother, caressing her and heaping
kisses on her cheeks. That home- ! <
greeting was what made Benny feel i
that the winning of the champion- i
ship was worth vnile. f
Thanks His .Mother j ;
"Mother, 1 have you to thank for 1 1
my success." was the new chara- j
pion's first words to his mother when j ,
he recovered himself. "Without you i
I could never have attained the goal i
that I did. It was my ambition to ,
become the champion tighter of the
world. I'm that now, and the care
and attention you gave me had as
much, if not more, to do in the
attainment of my .ictories than any
(liing else in the world."
"Now that I'm the champion." said
Benny to his friends. "I'm going to
be a lighting champion. Anybody
the public thinks 1 should tight I'll
tight, and just as vften as I'm called
Upon. But I must fight for my,
country, and, true to my word, I'm '
going right down some day this 1
week and of¥er my services to Uncle i
Sam. I've realized my ambition and j
I'm ready to take my title right into
the trefiches whenever called upon.
1 want to show a lew doubters that i
a champion tighter is not a slacker.
I'm not going to be drafted. I'm j
going right in now." '
The total box office receipts of the
contest were $13,149. Deducting the I
state tax of 7 per cent, the net
profits amounted to $12,162, of
which Welsh received 40 per cent, j
and Leonard 33Vi per cent. On!
that basis Welsh took nearly J5,000
and Leonard $4,000.

. THE DOUBLE HEADER
Copyright, 1917, The Tribune Association (New York Tribune).
Of all sweet words (either whispered or bawled)
TTlie sweetest are, "Darkness! The game is called!"
—Old Flatbush Couplet.
Was a time when club owners found it easy to let the sun shine in their
hearts when it was cloudy—even rainy—without. That was before bad
weather was the rule, not the exception.
The weather topic is resurrected here only because of the bearing tlio
present may have on the future chances of greater New York's major league
representatives. For summer must come sooner or later, and with it a
whole flock of double-headers. Against the harvest of bargain days the
greatest attribute to success will be wealth, both in quality and quantity, of
pitching numbers.
Failure of his veteran pitchers cost McGraw a pennnnt. in 1916. He lias
a twenty percent, better club now than he had a yeaar ago. The pitching
'staff should be far more reliable with the addition of Slim Sallee and the
establishment of Schupp to his proper sphere. Anderson, too, having
recovered his health, is becoming one of McGraw's most reliable per
formers.
The most critical stage of the race for the Giants will be experienced
through the first long stretch of hot weather. According to how such a
change affects his veteran twirlers will the succeeding light for tho Giants
lljecome a simple or a complex affair. McGraw has enough promising young
I material to assure pennant pitching regardless of tho behavior of any one
or two of his pitching veterans, but he is ono manager who has yet for the
first time to stake the issue on inexperienced men.
DODGERS .VXD YANKEES
Steady pitching won for Brooklyn in 1916. On Uncle Bobbie's staff
were three veterans who approached the climax pretty well frayed. These
were Jack Coombs, Larry Cheney and Bube Marquard. These three will
have to be as good as they were last season to put the champions up in the
fight, for Robbie has picked up only one additional pitching prospect, Leon
Cadore Cheney, Coombs and Marquard may all respond with line weather.
I Given pitching as good as in 1916, Brooklyn must carry respect.
The one major league manager who above all others can relish the
season of double-headers is Hill Donovan. The Yankees could double every
day from now to October without overworking their pitchers. Wild Bill lias
no less than ten pitchers, each capable of going the route. So far they
have been in each other's way. None of them has had enough work. The
unbeaten Shocker was two weeks between winning games, simply because
his fellow pitchers commanded equal attention. Donovan's staff to date
has proven itself the most efficient of the game. It should be better, If
that is possible, through the shower of double-headers.
RATTLING THE .SKELETON
Cy Falkenberg, the veteran pitcher, who jumped Cleveland In his
halcyon, days to cast in his lot with the Federal League, is attempting a
comeback with Philadelphia. Falkenberg has just about reached the
end of his career, because of the age handicap, but none of the youngsters
let sentiment interfere with business.
Every time he pitches the life of Falkenberg is made miserable by
batters demanding that the umpires examine the ball frequently. For
the tip preceded Falkenberg east that the on.e-time terror of Cleveland
had effected his comeback with tho American Association by making use
of the illegal "emery" ball. The return of Falkenberg seems to have
stirred up all manner of suspicions against a number of the leading masters
of the box.
In the National League, too. !*te tip is out that several clubs carry
pitchers who use the emery ball. At the Polo Grounds a few days ago
Umpire Bill Klem repeatedly called for the ball which .Miller,'of the Pirates,
was pitching. Giant batters, helpless before Miller's fast ball, were con
vinced the pitcher had some material edve over them.
RUSSELL FORD, INVENTOR
Russell Ford originated the emery ball, which has since been legislated
from the game. The delivery was so called because emery paper was used
to roughen part of the surface. The rough part, of course, heightened the
effect of air friction so that with practice a clever pitcher could make the
ball break in all sorts of freakish ways. F"ord, for instance, supposedly
a spitball pitcher, never used a spitter. It was the emery ball, instead,
which at will he could break In either direction.
When Ford jumped to the Buffalo club, of the Federal League, and
Sweeney was induced to stay in New York at $9,000, Big Ed got another
pal and battery mate in Bay Keating. Sweeney taught Keating the emery
ball trick. The secret was too good for Keating to keep all to himself.
They do say Ray told every pitcher he met. It wasn't a secret at all very
long, and the first victim exposed was none other than Keating himself.
Eddie Collins had Keating unmasked before a Saturday crowd at the Polo
Grounds.
The emery ball Is barred in the major leagues. Any one using It will
be subjected to severe discipline. Alert as all players are. no trace of
the evil has been disclosed. It does seem in these days of slow games
that the players are allowed too great leeway In looking for the emery
ball. They often try to alibi themselves with just such tricks as these.
A WORD TO THE WISE
One brief year ago Benny KaufT, of the Giants, was being held up to
ridicule by a number of writers of the outlying districts of the National
League. To-day these same scribes are not ridiculing Benjamin. Those
who cannot boost a're not knocking.
The fault a year ago lay with little Benny himself. Demure and mod
est in. many ways, he permitted certain self-appointed managers to talk
him into talking about himself. These managers hoped to exploit Kauff
on the vaudeville stage and deluded Benny about the great value of New
York publicity.
FANS SURE OF
BASEBALL TODAY
No League Games, but Plenty
Good Sport on Local
Fields
With an Ideal day for baseball,
managers to-day hope to catch up
in their losses for the present sea
son. Itain has cut deep into profits
of many owners and it is a question
whether the crowds will come strong
enough on warm days to make up
for the rainy days. There will be
plenty of baseball to-day, as well as
other sports.
Harnsburg fans found interest in
a series of local games. Contests in
the West End were exceedingly at
tractive. The West End A. C. play

event was a baseball game at Aca
demy field between the faculty and
varsity nine of the Harrisburg Acad
emy. The Hiek-A-Thrifts went to
Shippensburg and East End A. C. to
Goldsboro.
Other Big Events
Many Harrisburgers went out of
