‘Stall’ Fed
Defeated
X F
Everybody at the Auditorium |
Tuesday night, it seemed, was in a |
fighting humor, with the «-xcepnunl
of *“Porby"” Flynn. Judglrxd from
“Porky’s” action in his alle| rlght]
with Jred Fulton, he hasn't an en
emy in the world. The Bostonian,
fully equipped with “falling” pads, |
started with the gong in the first
round on a gentle gearch for a place
to flop. ‘
In the third “Porky"” evidently fl(-‘
ured that the could stall @ knock- |
out, and as Fulton sent a zr-ph_\'rlkrni
vppercut to the weak point of |
“Porky's” 'Jeft evebrow, Grundfather}
Flynn in true pantomime fashionl
knelt to the floor and plastered u‘
soul kiss on the canvass.
Referee- Promoter McDonald wau‘
disgusted and the custodian of the
gong probably also contracted some |
of the nausea that was sw»eptnz!
over the crowd, for he rushed in a
premature gong, and “Porky” wnsl
not allowed to take the count. Ref- |
efee Mack slapped the possuming |
“Porky” on the back and bade him[
return to his corner. ¥rom the look |
on Mack's face one felt that he would 1
enjoy kicking “Prky” in the slats far!
more than glapping hm on the ba(-k,i
CROWD HISSES FLYNN. 3
After this show of willlngness lu'
flop and after a crate or s 0 of hisses
and hoots from the large crowd,
“Porky” got a mental glimpse of a
telegraph ple and some tar and
feathers and the like, and realized |
that he must make an effort to fight. |
The exhibition, wheh was junt’
about as excting as a knitting con
test, lasted until the sixth, wh«-n!
“Porky,” after acting in the role of |
a punching bag for Fulten, careened |
canvasward, and McDonald vnummll
out the customary ten, and the crowd |
aispersed. i
Fulton, willing to fight, received
little enocuragement from the ancient \
Flynn, but the erowd in making men
tal notes o Fred's ability as a fighter |
decided last night that he would be
no match for Jack Dempsey, heavy
weight champion, Fred, however,
seemed to be willing to give his best,
and this won the crowd for him,
The putrid main bout was preceded
by a great card of prelims, and this
sent the spectators away wth a good
taste in their mouths,
MEEGHAN BESTS SHARKEY,
Stanley Meeghan and Jack Sharkey
went through ten rounds of milling.
The little Emerald isle: entry pro
ceeded to give Sharkey a boxing
lesson, and while h tred gamely to
administer a knockout, he didn't have
the haymaker to put Sharkey to
sleep. He hammered Sharkey
against the ropes continually, how
over, and the Irishman plastered a
fusillade of wallops on Sharkey time
and again, and the crowd rose (o its
feet, expecting a knockout.
Private Phillipps and S:‘rgmmt‘
Day, both of the Sixth Infantry, went ‘
through for rounds of mlling, atd |
the sergeant looked very much the
worse for wear at the end ®f the en
counter, the private getting the
decision,
McKEOWN'S EXHIBITION.
Frank McKeown, the “armless won
der,” gave an exhibition during the |
program and the crowd gave him a
good hand. Later the spectators came
to the conclusion that McKeown was
handy enough without hands to give
“Porky” a drubbing if he so desired
“Kid” Napple and Young Benjamin
went four rounds and ‘Benjamin
clearly defeated his opponent, but
Referee “Bill” Kaliska missed one in
the excitement and held up the wrong
hand. |
A four-round set-to between Miske |
and Boyd opened the bill Beyd
looked like the winner in this en-‘
:afimom. {
esday pight's appearance is prob
ably “Porky” Flynn's swan song, so
far as Atlanta is concerned. Fight
fans wouldn't go to see “Porky nni
a bet if he is ever booked to meet
any one here again. 1

Measurements and statistics give
Jack Dempsey u big edge over
Georges Carpentier, the French won
der.
The king of pugilists has a reach
eclose to eight inches greater than
Carpentier, which in itself sizes up
a 8 a remarkable advantage for the
American battler. For Dempsey with
his seventy-eight inches certainly
could, if he wanted to fight a purely
defengive battle, hold off Carpentier,
who measures only seventy inches.
Dempsey is three inches taller than
Cavpentier, another seeming handi
cap for the Frenchman. [or while
Dempsey rises to the height of six
feet 1 1-2 inches, Carpentier, accord
ing to latest measurements received,
is only five feet 9 1-2 inches tall. But
there are some who will contend that
the fact that Carpentier is shorter
than Dempsey gives to the French
man a psychological advantage,
BEST AGAINST GIANT.
That faction points to the records
which show that Dempsey has done
his greatest battling against glants
and has failed to show real knockout
power in contests with smaller men.
The tiniest battler he ever mel
knocked him out—the only time that
Dempsey was ever put to sleep.
Against Willie Meehan and Billy
Miske, both lighter and shorter than
himself, Dempsey failed to score
knockouts and lost a decision to each.
But there's something of an alibi
for Dempsey's showing in those
matches with little men, for Demp
sey didn’t do much training for any
of those bouts. Tle figured they
would be easy conquests. Whenever
Dempsey really trained for a contest
—which always, happened prior to
meeting big men-—Dempsey won in
spectacular fashion. And if Dempsey
is ecalled upon to meet Carpentier he
surely wilt train,
Dempsey has it on Carpenter about
fifteen pounds in bulk.
And, most important of all, Car
pentier is 28 years of age, whereas
Dempsey s only 24,
In wvery way, then, it wonld seem
that Dempsey has i big advantage
over the French idol,
Some folks point out that being the
larger man “doesn’'t always mean an
advantage. They recall that Demp
ey whipped Jess Willard in terrible
fashion. That's true, But Dempsey
in that instance had an offset with
speed and had youth in his favor,
JESSICA WAS SLOW.
. Willard was slow and sluggish. Age
had dulled the trifling speed that he
knew in vouth. And he was rusty
‘rrnm long absence from the ring.
Willard wasn't properly trained,
either. And all those things discount.
ed his natural advantages as re
gards height, weight and reach.
But Dempsev has not merely the
natura! advantages, but also match
es Carpentier in speed, has infinltely
greater punching power, more glo
rious vouth and aggressiveness which
eclipaes that of any man in the mod
ern history of the ring.
Based on “past performances”
Dempsey is the far better fighter.
Jvery victory he has achieved has
been a marvelous tribute to his ter
rible punching power. Outside of
Meehan and Miske no man has trav.
eled the route with him in the last
eighteen months. He has annihilated
}overy other foeman,
| Carpentier, on the other hand, has
‘dnm‘ nothing remarkable, He has
been beaten by some second rate

War Over
CHICAGO, Febgll~-In the wee
sma’ hours of this morning, the dove
of peace fluttered down on the Con
gress Hotel and found a resting place
amid the warring factions of the
American League and forthwith a
“lasting peace” was signed, witnessed
and ratified,
According to both factions, it was
a fifty-fifty settlement of the di'{{i-|
culties between the doughty Ban
Johnson, His five faithful, and the
three Insurgents—Comiskey, Rupert
and Frazee. Both sides claimed to
day to have gotten what they wanted,
Here are the terms of the settle
ment as set m?h is an oficial state~
ment by the #ittorneys of the two
warring camps:
“1, The dismissal of all litigation
instituted by the New York Amers
jcan League club.
“2. The reinstatement of Carl Mdys
as a member of the New York Amer
ican league club.
“3. The recommendation to the
national commission to award third
place in the American lLeague race
to the New York club and the third
place prize money to the New York
club,
“4, The appointment of a commit
tee of review or arbitration for (wo
yvears, consisting of Col. Jacob Ru
pert and Clark QGriffith to act as a
reviewing board with final and bind
ing power to reyview any penalties
or fines In excess of SIOO or ten days
suspension or any act that any mems
ber feels affects his constitutional
rights as a member of the associas
tion. In case the reviewisg board
are unable to agree, a federal judge
in Chicago shall decide the question
submitted.”
The successor of Gary Herrmann
as chairman of the national baseball
commigsion will be chosen today. It
was reported today that three names
witl be placed in nomination. Judge
K. M. Landds, Chicago; William FH,
“Big Bill” Edwards, New York, and
John C. Toole, National league at
torney, are the three mentioned.
Recall of the waivers rule was
adopted by unanimous vote, and it
was agreed that after July 1 there
can be no trading, selling or loaning
of players. A rule also was passed
that any owner Or manager tamper
ing with the players of another club{
shall be fined SI,OOO for the first
offense and expelled if found guilty|
of repeatimg the offense.
The Wational I.eague at its meeting
followed the example of the American
l.eague by barring the spitball after
the close of the 1920 race; but while
the American League clubs are lim
ited to two spitballers each for the
coming season the National decided
to permit each club to carry its full
complement of these artists. Each
club owner registerd with President
Heydler the names of the men who
use this delivery, Pittsburg alone
announced that it had not even one|
apithall twirler on its list. ‘
TWELVE USE SPITTER.
Those listed by the other clubs are
New York, Douglas; Brooklyn, Mitch- |
ell and Grimes; Bostor, Keating,
Fillingim and TRudolph: Philadel
phia, Hogg; Cincinnati. Fisher; Chi
cago, Hendrix: St. Louis, Doak, Good- |
man and Tuero. ‘
President Heydler announced that
Umpire “Bill” Byron has retired:
‘that Charley Rigler is holding out
for more money, and Quigley is undo-l
cided as to whether he will work tho‘
coming season. Emslie, O'Day, Klem,
Harrison and Moran have signed and
IMife, who served in the American|
Asgsociation last year, has been uddpd‘
to the list in place of Byron. ‘

Bear gently with them, for they.
know not what they do. |
At present, I'm speaking of the
American League directors. And, the
same goes for the National League
directors, and all other league direc
tors where the spit ball has been
barred with a qualification.
Up in the American circuit where
Ban Johnson rules with an iron hand
and an iren head, the edict has gone
forth that the spitter is to be taboo
eventually, But the moguls, very
‘much like the confirmed booze head,
‘dniu to taper off. And, to do this
the coming season they will .Howl
but two pitchers on each club te use!
the spitter. All other hurlers except
the favored duo must confine their
pitching to hooks and fast ones. |
That's a hot one for you. Why al
low two men to get by with the stunt
and then hang np the "Thy-‘halt-|
not” sign on the remainder of thei
crew. If Johnny Hinkensmitz and
Cleophus Clodwhopper can use the
suitted it looks like Moses Marble
head and Ignatz Ivorydome and
Johnny Glassfinn could do the #same
thing, Its showing faveritism to thcl
first two and working a hardship on
the three other fellows. !

BLUFF CAN BE WORKED. i
Resides, brothers, they are going to|
have a merry time convieting pnrhersl
on these charges of using the spit
ter. Suppose big George \\'hippla-I
doffer expectorates on the agate. Thpl
catcher receives the ball and rubs it
on his sleeve. - The umps then calls!
for am inspection. He finds nothingl
on the ball that will warrant a finel
or expulsion from the league. The
P“(‘hf‘fi'fl defenss is that he was bluff
ing the spitter. There is no law
against bluffing it., o there you are.
L . -
ANOTHER FARCICAL RULE,
Over in the National they have
varied the rule. Those pitchers who
are already in the big show can use
the damp ball until their arms give'
out and they are relegated to the
minors. The youngsters just coming|
in will not be permitted so use the
delivery, howeven This will have a
tendency to slow down the pitching
in the National League. The young
ster seeking fame in the National
may have more stuff than the veter
an including his spitter. But, belng
unable to use this brand of dellvery,
he fails to make good and is shunted
bughward once again, while the vet
goes merrily onward using the wild
car delivery without molestation.
Something wrong with that rule, fel
lows. Its very much like a double
set of by-laws to govern your office.
The fellows who've been around for
a year or so are permitted to come
down to work about 8:80 of an a. m,,
while the boys who've been working
for only a few months must get on
the job at 7:80. The younger mem
bers of the organization may turn
out more work and may he better
lm«n‘ but working under this handi
!r-ap the seeds of dissension are sown.
It won't work. -
BATTER IS FAVORED. |
| The moguls did get together on one
thing that will prove a good propo
gition, however, and the ruling should
be adopted by the Southern League
when the directors meet in Atlanta
Tebruary 23. Heretofore, when a bat
ter has seen occasion to dodge a
ithmwn ball, and the pellet has acci
dentally collided with his bat, it has
counted a foul and a strike against
him, if the ball has fallen foul, and
it has gone for a fair ball if it hits
in fair territory. That has always
been an unjust ruling. If the ball
}goes fair it usually proves a dinky
roller, which the pitcher or infielders

The Peacock Bluebirds disposed of
the Y. M. C. A, Leaders team at
the local “Y” last ntgnt before a
handful of fans in a one-sided con
test, the final count being 43 to 13
The team and pass work of the win
ners was in evidence throughout the
battle, and at no time did the Lead
ers give much trouble.
During the first half the Leaders
played a mueh better game than in
llhe later balf, but still they were
far beyond the team play of the win
ners, The “Y” boys started the game
without the services of two of their
star players, Russey, forward, and
Captain Smith, center, and this fact
possibly accounts for the bad show
ing. Had they been in the game,
there might have been a different
story. . i
“Red” Laird and Donny Owens
were too much for the Leaders, and
they rang tleld goals at will, a large
percentage of them being of the spec
tacular variety. Owens led the Four
teenth street hoys in points .scored,
registering 20 out of his team's 43,
The Peacock defense kept the ball
out of the dangerous territory prac
tically the entire game, and the losers
had few, if any, open shots at the

is retired. He never has a chance to
beat it out, for he Is usually rolling
in the dirt when the ball is fieldad.
If it goes foul, it gives him but two
tnpre attempts to hit the ball. . |
According to the new ruling the
ball becomes dead the moment it hits
a batter's bludgeon and he is penal
ized in no way, for having accident
ally touched the sphereoid. Three
cheers for the American moguls,
You've seen a batter the unfortunate
vietim of thig circumstance dozens of
times, and I'll bet you condemned the’
ruling. I know you did if there is a
bit of fairness sou.nh.\g your veins.
CATCHER TO BE PENALIZED.
About the only othér change in the
ruling algo strikes meé as being fair
and just. Hereotofore, when the
catcher has dropped the third strike,
and the Dbatter has reached first,
through this muff, the catcher has
been credited with a passéed ball. In
the future the backstop will be given
an error instead. It is his just des
serts, too.
Sometimes, in looking over the box
sgcore and one sees Where the guardian
of the big mitt is handed 4 passed
ball in the summary, there is always
an element of doubt in the fan's mind
as to whether the catcher really
spilled the beans, or the pitcher made
a wild piteh, which the scorer de
fined as a passed ball. With the new
state of affairs all element of doubt
will be erased.
* . *
ANOTHER CHANGE NEEDED. ‘
There is one flaw in the rules that
I would like to see changed, but I
guess it will finally évolve on some
one higher up in the game to make
the fight to change it. |
That is in regard to errors belng
charged against fielders, even though
fashion, with no runners having aa
vanced on the play. Technically the
catcher has cmmitted on error, but
why scar up his fielding average over
something that has amounted to
nothing either one way or the other.
the batter later is retired with no
damage having been done, other than
that his time at bat has been pro
longed. As the rule now stands, a
catcher is charged with an error if he
misses a pop foul.* I don’t think the
backstop should be so pénaized, if
the batter ater skies out to some
fleder, or is retired in some other

WHY NOT TRY VAUDEVILLE,
Johnny Dundee and Benny Leonard
have met eight times in the squared
arena. KEach time they meet the bank
roll of each man meunts higher. They
have never gone against each other
over the championship route, although
they had been originally scheduled to
do s at New Haven. The Chief of
Police of that city put the quietus on
‘the scrap, however, and instead of
calling the thing off until some other
’city permitted twenty-round bouts
could be chosen, they switched the
\fll‘nt to Jersey City and hammered
each other's features through eight
rounds, If Dundee and Leonard con
tinue to meet as frequently in the
future as they have in the past, they
should book themselves on a vaude
ville circuit, and go to it nightly. The
money might not be as plentiful on a
proposition lke this, but it would
flow in in a more steady stream.

- Time Thursday
The three games booked for Thurs
day in the Prep League are not prom
ising. Instead tiiey are three set
ups. Tech ‘High should win easily
over Commercial High on the Smith
ieg’ court; Boys' High should have a
fairly easy time with Marist, which
will probaßly be played on the Ful
ton High court, and then Peacock is
scheduled with Fulton High, the
game to be played at Peacock.
Since Fulton has stated that she
has no games scheduled with Pea
cock, and she refused to play the
first game scheduled between the two
schools, this game can be overlooked,
as Fulton probably will forfeit to
Peacock.
The Marist-Boys’ High game should
prove the best attraction of the aft
ernoon, as the teams are more evenly
matched. Boys' High should evince
no trouble in defeating Marist, but it
is a game between teams, one of
which totally eclipses the other.
Tech High and Commercial do not
present a major attraction, as the
Smithies trounced Commercial in the
first game. Stewart and others of
the Tech High varsity, who have
been absent from the line-up, due Lo
illness, should be in this encounter.

men baseballically inclined long for'
the first practise day, which is now
thundering down the stretch and willl
arrive within a week or two; that is, |
for the pros. The collegians will get |
into harness even sooner. E
While Charley Frank is spending |
a pleasant time down in Hay SIL.
Louis, Miss,, his winter habitat |
where the fish are plentiful, the fans
here are marking time, awaiting the
arrival of the old chieftain, who, it
is expected, will make some impor

upon the shores of our city.
LIKES TO GO FISHING.
Mr, Frank is one bird who loves
to spend his winters quietly, away |
from the humdrum of baseball, and
out in the sticgs, where he can’'t be
reached with any b. b. information.
When the proper time arives, Char
ley is never backward in telling the
scribes what he has or hasn't ac
comphished.
When Charley does come to town,
he won't stay here for any great
length of time. He's coming merely
to look over the Ponce Jde lLeon dia
mond, and talk matters over with
IFrank Reynolds, and view the
weather here, and possibly get in
touch with a few of his hired heip,
who might be hanging around await
ing the arrival of reporiing day. It's
a darned fine idea of Charley’'s to
train his .club in Bay St. Leuis. No
better place could be found for the
conditioning process, as Bay St. Louis
has splendid weather about this time
of the year, and the sun beams down
s 0 warmly upon the athletes their
salary wings can get into working or
der much more d¢uickly than if they
were training here, where the weath
er in March and April is a bit un
certdin. Another bright feature of
the {raining-away-from-heme idea is
that the fans, when they cast their
eyes over the Cracker array at the
start of the season, will be viewing
their athletes for the first time this
vear. And the faces will be new to
them, and they’ll want to go out to
see just who is playing on their
team and why. /Oh my, yes, it's a
great scheme. |
Doesn't seem to be very mugh do- |
ing here, except in college circles. |
Frank Reynolds has done all that he
can, and is now leaving the "'so-‘

That good old tobacco taste is
just one of the reasons that Spur is
at the top and dug in—to stay there.

Cadet Quint
For Soldiers
G. M. A. was too strong for the
Fifth Infantry team from Camp Gor
don, consequently defeated the sol
diers easily, 11-4, Tuesday afternoon
on the cadets’ court. The game was
a walkaway for G. M. A. in the first
half, but in the second period mat
ters agsumed a more stringent state.
The score at the end of the first
half was 8-2, and when it is taken
into consideration that only 5 points
were totaled during the second pe
riogi, the fight that ensued is easy to
apprehend. f

SEVEN CHAMPIONS BACK.
As far as the Craecker personnel
at the present time i$ concerned, you
snow as much as we do about it
Frank has one catcher, Bob Higgins:
one infielder, Harry Damrau; two
outfielders, Sammy Mayer and Har
din Herndon, and three pitchers, Tom
Sheehan, Joe Thorburn and Lefty
Suggs, back from the 1919 cham
pionship crew. He' has Joe Guyon,
the Indian, for an outfield tryout,
and Harry Manush and probably an
other voungster or two farmed out
last season to the Sally Leagge.
- Robert Higgins will do the manag
ing this year, with Frank oecupy
ing the bench merely as spectator
and chief adviser to the veteran
catcher., Robert did a good job of
handling the team last season, and
Charley thinks his long experience
and natural ability as a leader will
enable Bob to keep the Crackers in
the fight this year. When Bob was
down in New Orleans as eaptain of
the Pelicans, it was very seldom that
the Dobbers weren’'t in the, thick of
the pennant scramble.

{ LIVERFPOOL, Feb. 11.—Charles B.
l Cochran, fight promoter, arrived hqre\‘
| today after a visit of several months
|to the United States. He expressed
iahsoluzo confidence in his ability to
lland the Carpentier-Dempsey match
I for London.
| “Tex Rickard is my ohly serious
| competitor,” said Cochran, “and there
’ are only awo cities where Buch a bout
ivan be staged—New York and Lon
{ don. It can not be held in New York
{unless a special law is passed, and
| there' is little chance of that.”
| Asked If he had succeeded in getti
{ Dempsey to sign up, Cochran said:T
: “No; he hasn't signed yet. He has
!good reasons for not signing before
the end of February. William A.
glnady will make the nécessary ar
i fangements in my behalf.”
| "“How about Carpentier?”
“He's bound to me for the rest of
| this year and part of 1921. His share .
| of the money is to be 20,000 pounes{
';nnd an additional 1,000 pounds for
| expenses. .
| “Dempsey’'s share will be $200,000.
The floek of bidders now in Europe
| trying to land the fight may as well
I start for home, bécause théy éan not

The champion has sent a deaosluon

And what's more! Satiny imported

where Spur is different, too. A

Spurs fresh and {ragrant.
