*EW ORLEANS, Jan. 2.—Fred
die Welsh, English and Aus
tralian lightweight champion,
yesterday displayed the reason why
Willie Ritchie, United States title
holder, doesn’t want to meet him for
the world’s championship. The Pnn-
ty Prid lad handed out a most de
cisive beating to Johnny Dundee,
game little New York Italian, in a
ten-round scrap held at Pelican Park
before one of the biggest crowds that
ever attended a flsrht in this city.
Welsh was given a unanimous
newspaper decision. Superior ring
generalship gave him the victory In
one of the most spectacular contests
ever seen here. With the exception of
the first and second rounds, Welsh
always held a safe lead. In the fourth,
eighth and tenth rounds he led by a
big margin, especially In the finai
spasm, when, with wicked lefts and
rights to the head, he had Dundee !n
bad condition.
Welsh outweighed his opponent hv
five pounds when the boys weighed
In at 10 o'clock. Dundee tipped the
beam at 130 pounds, while Welsh was
five pounds heavier.
* * •
U 7ELRH was slow' in getting starr
ed in the opening session, and
Dundee, although he didn’t land many
blows, did the forcing • nd earned the
round. The second round was very
much like the opening one. In tho
third round Welsh found himself, and
by popping straight lefts to the face
took the lead.
A hard right hook caught Dundee
on the jaw in the fourth round, and
Welsh sailed in to finish the fight
right then and there, but Dundee
covered cleverly, and by plenty of
clinching- saved himself
Welsh was a little tired from
forcing the battle when he came up
in the fifth, and this session was a
trifle slow. But in the sixth both
lads opened up. and it was slug-slug-
«lug all the way, with Welsh landing
the cleaner blows. The seventh was
very much after the same order, with
Dundee holding his own.
In the eighth round, after a hot ex
change, Welsh got In close and
worked a wicked right to the stom
ach. The blow' almost floored Dun
dee, but It was too near bell time for
Welsh to finish his man. Both lads
took it easy in the ninth, saving their
strength for the final srasm.
• * •
W ELSH came out of his corner
with a bound In the tenth. He
nailed Dundee a right on the jaw al
most before he got out of his cha’r.
Then Welsh forced Johnny to th«
ropes and threw rights and left Into
l\ls body until the little Italian was
forced"!o hang on for his young life.
When the referee broke them, Dundee
started a right swing for the jnw\ but
Welsh beat him to It with a ripping
straight left, and Dundee was sent
spinning across the ring. At the hell
Welsh was pumping rights and left
to the body, but Dundee gamely took
all that he couldn’t block, and wat
fighting back as much as h1s strength
would allow at the final gong.
• • *
I T was a gTeat flpht, and It Is likely
that Promoter Tortorloh will ra-
mateh the lads for another session In
ease Ritchie still refuses to light
"Welsh.

Baker Hangs Up New
Motorcycle Record
PHOENIX. ARIZ., Jan. 2.-Erwin O.
Baker, of Indianapolis, broke the world’s
record for motorcycles here yesterday,
rovering 66 miles. 1,660 yards. The for
mer record was 66 miles, 1,100 yards.
Joe O’Connell, of Phoenix, with a
etock machine, broke the world’s 10-mile
record, making the distance in 9 minutes
I second. Baker formerly held the rec
ord of 9 minutes 11 seconds.
Englishman in Grand Condition,
and Expects to Stop the
‘Fighting Carpenter.’
Bv Left Hook.
F ' REDDIE WELSH, lightweight
champion of England and Aus
tralia, fresh from his ten-round
victory over Johnny Dundee, arrived
in the city this morning from New
Orleans. Welsh meets Prank Whit
ney, of Cedar Rapids, Iow’a, at the
Auditorium-Armory next Tuesday
night in what should prove the best
scrap ever held in Atlanta.
Welsh is in grand condition and
expects to stop Whitney, although
hard-hitting Charley White was un
able to even floor the "Fighting Car
penter.” He will work out this aft
ernoon at Professor Magee’s gymna
sium. in the Steiner-Emery Building,
where he will put on the finishing
touches.
Welsh was accompanied by his
manager, Harry Pollok, who has
steered such great scrappers os
Young Corbett, Terry McGovern,
Jack Munroe, George Dixon and a
dozen other lesser lights: Ed Curley,
a New York sporting who is
touring the South, and a retinue of
trainers.
Whitney will arrive in the city on
the Dixie Flyer to-night, having
stopped off in Chicago longer than he
expected. Frank found some excel
lent material to box with in the
Windy City, including Packey Mc
Farland and Charley White.
As Welbh and Whitney are to meet
at eatchwelghts, Frank will be at his
best. In every other scrap he has had
here the "Fighting Carpenter” has
been forced to make weight, and In
doing so lost his punch. This time
he will come into the ring weighing
fully 135 pounds, and at this mark
should be able to carry a knock-out
wallop.
The advance sale of tickets ha*
been immense. They ran be secured
at Shepherd’? Segar Store, corner of
Pryor and Edge wood.

Coast Boy ‘Falls’ for Stalling Tac
tics and Is Knocked Out in
Seventh Round.
CINCINNATI, OHIO. Jan. 2.—Joe
Mandot, of New Orleans, made good In
his second come-back fight yesterday
when he shaded Earl Fisher in ten
rounds. Although Fisher gave Mandot
a tough battle, the latter had a good
shade in the majority of rounds and
deserved the verdict.
The bout was fast from the start,
Joe being somewhat surprised by Fish
er's ability to take a punch and come
back for more. After a few exchanges
Mandot decided that it was best to
stay away and pile up points, instead
of taking a chance In exchanging blows
with Earl. These tactics succeeded, as
Joe had little trouble In outpointing his
opponent.

Cccc*; Oar.
Leach Cross, the Fighting Den
tist from New York, came back
to his own yesterday when ho stopped
Bud Anderson in seven rounds.
Leach’s famous stalling tactics really
brought the bout to an end, as An
derson, in an effort to sail into Cross,
left himself open for left and right
swings.
Cross took the upper hand in the
first session and kept it throughout,
except for brief spells when he wab
bled around trying to get Anderson
to come after him. Bud fell for the
ruse, and as a result took some awful
punishment. Cross would drop his
hands to h\s side, lower his head and
act as if lie was on the verge of a
knockout. Anderson, being a young
ster at the game, thought he had
Cross hurt, when in fact Leach never
received a hard punch in the fight.
A left hook to the chin as Anderson
was coming in put the Coast boy
down the first time. At the count
of eight he regained his feet, but a
hard right uppercut sent him to the
canvas again. Bud tried hard to
hang on w hen he got to his feet, but
Cross shot over his deadly right and
Anderson went down in a heap, lie
was out for fully five minutes.
Stops Tom Daly
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—Battling Le-
vinsky. Danny Morgan’s sensational
lightweight, tacked another knockout
to his credit last night. Levinsky
stopped Tom Daly, the Omaha giant. In
the second round of a scheduled ten-
round scrap. Levinsky was outweignt-
ed by 23 pounds.
SYDNEY, X. S. W., Jan. 2.—Eddie
McGoorty, America’s middleweight ring
star, repeated his New York feat here
yesterday afternoon when he knocked
out Dave Smith, of Australia, in the
first round of their middleweight cham
pionship battle. It was to be a twenty-
round affair, but the knockout came
In a little more than a minute of fight
ing.
Smith seemed frighteed when he an
swered the gong for the opening ses
sion. The American took advantage of
bis opponent’s condition, and without
any warning sailed into Smith, shoot
ing rights and lefts to the Australian's
body and jaw. McGoorty sent Smith
to the floor three times in rapid suc
cession before giving him the knockout
wallop.
This was McGoorty’s first fight in
Australia. The men met at catch-
weights in the presence of 16,000 spec
tators.

KANSAS CITY. Jan. 2.—Harry

entered the ring a big favorite, but
failed to live up to expectations.
Brewer was afraid to take a chance
in the early rounds, but after the fifth
session fought with more confidence
and handed the "Wildcat55 party a
neat feeing.

S AT* FRANCISCO, Jan. 2.—Gun-
boat Smith to-day is the new
heavyweight champion of the
world, this because of his knockout
win over Arthur Pelky, scored in the
fifteenth round of their scheduled
twenty-round battle at Daly City yes
terday afternoon. A powerful right
to the jaw, one of many attempts to
that spot, sent the conqueror of
Luther McCarty crushing to the mat.
He was through, but he pulled him
self together and rose to his feet in a
dazed condition.
While stooping he lurched forward
as if to grab Smith around the hips.
Smith hitched back, and, using his
right glove as a blacksmith uses a
small hammer, dealt the Canadian a
smart rap on the back of the nec.k.
Pelky flattened out on his stomach,
but tried to pull himself together
when he heard Timekeeper George
Harting tolling off the seconds. Ho
Lad not regained the fighting position
by the time the word "out” was pro
nounced. and maybe it was just as
well. He was utterly defenseless and
would have been a mark for another
crushing blow, for the Gunner had
found the range and waa hitting real
hard.
By Damon Runyon.
N EW YORK, Jan. 2.—Josephus
Faversham Tinker was the
manager of the Cincinnati Reds
—or, to qualify that statement, let
us say that he was as much manager
of the Cincinnati Reds as any man
ager is ever manager of that director-
pestered outfit.
He was fired from his job, in ac
cordance with the quaint and time-
honored Cincinnati custom in the
matter of managers, and he was sub
sequently sold by the Cincinnati
club, which continued to own him as
a ball player even after it had fired
him as manager, to Charles Hercules
Ebbets. of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The price paid was supposed to be
$25,000, but after a lot of publicity
had been derived from the statement
that this was the amount involved
Mr Ebbets and the Cincinnati ball
club began a series of dickers back
and forth until it finally developed
that Mr. Ebbets was paying $25,000
for Tinker, less one of two of the
naughts, and maybe minus the five,
for all we know.
“It was stated that Ebbets -would
pay Tinker a bonus of $10,000 when
he signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers,
and, as we understand it, the whole
deal depended upon what Tinker de
cided to do. Josephus refused to sign
with Ebbets. It is said he wanted
a salary of $7,500 a year, which was
the amount he drew as manager in
Cincinnati—this being perhaps the
real tip-off on Cincinnati managers—
but Ebbets thought $5,000 was the
right figure.
* * *
T HE upshot of the whole proposi
tion is, Tinker is said to have
signed with the Federal League to
manage the Chicago team at a salary
said to be $12,000 a year, and the
Brooklyn management talks of en
joining him.
Why? Because, dear reader, this
young man seems to be earnestly en-
f*eavoring to better himself in
financial way. He was kicked out of
his job in Cincinnati—remember that
—and he was not offered another job
as manager by organized ball. He
was offered a job aa a private in the
ranks, and because he does not see
fit to accept It they speak of having
the law on him. Such is the way of
organized baseball.
Supposing you were the manager
of a department store and were un- I
ceremoniously canned with mighty
brief notice. They offer you a job as
janitor at less money than >*ou were
getting. Along comes a rival concern
and tenders (i position as manager
with even more money attached to
it than you were getting as manager
in the first Instance. And supposing
the concern which had fired you spoke
up and said you must either work for
it as Janitor or it would get out war
rants and attachments and such like
against you. Would you be sore?
# * m
D EADEIt, we fear you would. We
^ fear your exasperated squawks
would arouse the neighbors for miles
an^I miles around. And yet, in a
way. that’s about what they are
handing to Josephus Faversham
Tinker. Such is the way of organ
ized baseball. Such is the way of the
reserve clause, written into ail base
ball players' contracts.
Organized ball has already drawn
upon Joe Tinker for more publicity
than several times $25,000 would buy
—organized ball being that great
amusement trust that has control
over our national obsession, and so
called to distinguish it from "out
law ball,” which is baseball com
mitted without regard to Messrs.
Garry Herrmann, Ban Johnson, et al.
Considering his long and honora
ble service to organized ball as a
player, you might think it would be
glad to see Joe Tinker do better for
himself in the evening of his play
ing years, so to speak, for Tinker is
veteran, without much further to
go. You might think that as long as
it is not able to offer him a manage-
ria 1 position, or even a position as a
private in the ranks at a salary he
can command elsewhere, organized
ball would say to Tinker: "Go, and
good luck be with you.” But such is
not the way of organized ball.
No, sir! They are going to enjoin
Josephus, and keep him from working
at all. They say the Federal League
is a big joke and will not last, but
just the same organized ball is not
going to permit it to offer employ
ment to ball players.
