‘Stall’ Fed
Porky Is
Everybody at the Auditorium
Tuesday night, it seemed, was in a
fighting humor, with the exception
of “Porby” Flynn. Judging from
“Porky's” action in his alleged fight
with Fred Fulton, he hasn't an en
emy in the world. The Bostonian,
fully equipped with “falling” pads,
stadted with the gong in the first
round on a gentle search for a place
to flop. Y
In the third “Porky” evidently fig
ured that the could stall a knock
out, and as Fulton sent a zephyrlke
uppercut to the weak point of
“Porky's” leftgevebrow, Grandfather
Flynn in true pantomime fashion
knelt to the floor and plastered 1.1
soul kiss on the canvass., -
Referee-Promoter McDonald was
disgusted and the custodian of the
gong probably also contracted some
of the nausea that was sweeping
over the c¢rowd, for he rushed in a
premature gong, and “Porky” was
not allowed to take the count. Ref
eree Mack slapped the possuming
“Porky” on the back and bhade him
return to his corner. From the look
on Mack's face one felt that he would
enjoy kicking “Prky” in the slats far
more than slapping hm on the back.
CROWD HISSES FLYNN.
After this show of willingness to
' flop and after a crate or so of hisses
-~and hoots from the la¥ge 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, whch was just
about as excting as a knitting con
test, lasted until the sixth, when
“Porky,” after acting in the role ()rl
a punching bag for Fulton, careened
canvasward, and McDonald counted
out the customary ten, and the crowd
aispersed.
Fulton, willing to fight, rocoiv»d!
little enocuragement from the ancient |
Flynn, but the crowd in making men
tal notes o Fred's abllity 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 lsle =ntry pro
ceeded to glve 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
againet the ropes continually, how
ever, and the Irishman plastered a
fusillade of wallops on Sharkey time
and again, and the crowd rose to nsl
feet, expecting a knockout.
Private Phillipps and Sergeant
Day, both of the Sixth Infantry, went
through for rounds of milling, and
the sergeant looked vers much thel
worse for wear at the end of the en
counter, the private getting the
decision.

Jack Dempsey a big edge over)
Georges Carpentier, the French won-'
der, |
The king of pugilists has a roach |
close to eight inches greater than |
Carpentier, whioh in itself sizes up|
as a remarkable advantage for the
American battler. IFor Dempsey with
his seventy-eight inches certainly |
could, if he wanted to fight a purely |
defensive battle, hold off Carpentier,
who measures only seventy inches. \
. Dempsey is three inches taller than
Carpentier, another seeming handi
cap for the Frenchman. [For while
Dempsey rises to the height of six
feet 1 1-2 inches, Carpentier, accord
ing to latest measurements received,
is only five sett 9 1-2 inches tall, But
there are gsome who will contend that
{(hl‘ fact that Carpentier is shorter
than Dempsey gives to the [lrench
man a psychological ndvantage.
BEST AGAINST GIANT,
That faction points to the records
which show that Dempsey has done
Ih!s greatest battling against glants
and has failed to show real knockout
power in contests with smaller men,
The tiniest battler he ever m-h
knocked him out-—the only time that
| Dempsey was ever put to sleep.
\gainst Willie Meehan and Billy
Khskt& both lighter and shorter than
| himgelf, Dempsey failed to score
knockouts and lost a decision to each.
But there's something of an alibl
for Dempsey's showing in those
matches with little men, for Demp
| sey didn't do much training for any
|of those bouts, He figured they
would be easv conquests. Whenever

l Dempsey has it on Carpenter about
| fifteen pounds in bulk,
And, most important of all, Car
pentier 18 28 years of age, whereas
Dempsey is only 24,
In every way, then, it would seem
that Dempsey has a big advantage
over the French idol
Some folks point out that being the
larger man doesn't always mean an
ladvantage. They recall that Demp

CHICAGO, Feb., 11,~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 factiohs, it was
a fifty-fifty settlement of the diffi
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 forth is an oficial state
ment by the attorneys of the two
warring camps:
“1, The dismissal of all litigation
instituted by the New York Amer
ican lLeague club.
“2. The reinstatement of Carl Mays
as a member of the New York Amer
ican Jeague club,
“4. 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 ta the New York
club,
“4, The appointment of a commit
tee of review or arbitration for two
vears, consisting of Col. Jacob Ru
pert and Clark Griffith to act as a
reviewing board with final and bind
ing power to review any penalties
or fines In excess of SIOO or ten days
suspension or any act that any mem
ber feels affects his constitutional
rights as a member of the associa
tion. In case the reviewiyg 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
will be placed in nomination. Judge
K. M. Landis, Chicago; Williamsn H.
“Big Bill" Ikdwards, New York, and.
John C. Toole, National ILeague at
torney, are the three mentioned.
Recall of the walivers rule was
adopted by unanimous vote, and it
was agreed that after July 1 there
can be no trading, selling or loaning
of plavers. A rule also was passed
that any owner oOr manager tamper-’
ing with the players of another club
shall be fined SI,OOO for the first|
offense and expelled if found guilty|
of repeating the offense.
The National I.eague at its meeting
tollowed the example of the American
J.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
| spithall twirler on its list.
' TWELVE USE SPITTER.
| Those listed by the other clubs are
‘ New York, Douglas: Brooklyn, Miteh
ell and Grimes: Bostor, Keatling,
i!"illlnxim and Rudolph; _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 unde
' cided as to whether he will work the
coming season. E£mslie, O'Day, Klem,
Harrison and Moran have signed and
ife, who served in the American
| Association last year, has been added
| to the list in place of Byron.

ONTHE LEVEL
By HENRY VANGE
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 iron head, the edict has, gone
forth that the spitter is to be taboo
}eventunlly. But the moguls, very
‘mugh like the confirmed booze head,
‘dunre to taper off. And, to do this
the coming season they will ailow
but two pitchers on each club to 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-shalt
not” sign on the remainder of the
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 favoritism to the
first two and working a hardship on
the three other fellows. |
. - .
BLUFF CAN BE WORKED. i
Besides, brothers, they are going to
have a merry time convicting pitchers
on these charges of using the spit
ter. Suppose big George Whipple
doffer expectorates on the agate. The
catcher receives the ball and rubs it
on his sleeve. The umps then calls
for an inspection. He finds nothing
on the ball that will warrant a fine
or expulsion froin the league. The
pitcher's defenss 1s that he was bluff
ing the spitter. There is no law
against bluti‘ing‘ it‘ so there you are.
-
ANOTHER FARCICAL RULE.
Over in the National they have
varied the rule. Those pitchers who
iare already in the big show can use
the damp ball until their arms give
out and they are relegated to the
‘m'mors. The youngsters just coming
in will not be permitted to use the
}ri@l‘vf-r_\‘, however., This will have a
tendency to slow down the pitching
in the National League. The young
ster seeking fame in the National
[mu)' have more stuff than the veter
an including Mis spitter. But, being
unable to use this brand of delivery,
'he fails to make good and is shunted
bushward once again, while the vet
goes merrily onward using the wild
cat delivery without molestation.
Something wrong with that rule, fel
lows. Its very miuch 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 8:30 of an a. m.,
while the boys who've been working
for only a few months must get on
the job at 7:30. The younger mem
bers of the organization may turn
out more work and may be better
men, but working under this handi
!(‘nn 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-
Isition, however, and the ruling should
{be adopted by the Southern League
lwhnn the directors meet in Atlanta
February 23. Heretofore, when a bat
ter has seen occasion to dodge a
thrown 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
lin fair territory. That has always
{been an unjust ruling. If the ball
}gm\s fair it usually proves a dinky
{ roller, which the pitcher or infielders

Bluebirds Are
Victors O
Strong'Y’Clan
By J. C. FIFE JR.
The Peacock Bluebirds disposed of
'the Y. M. C. A, Leaders team at
lthe local “Y" last nignt 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.
} Durirg the first half the l.eaders
played a much better game than in
the later half, but still they wers
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.
“Red” Laird and Donny Owens
were too much for the Leaders, and
they rang field goals at will® g large
percentage of them being of the spec
tacular variety, Owens led the Four
teenth street boys 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
basket. ‘

languidly toss to first and the batter
is retired. He never has a chance to
beat it out, for he is usually rolling
in the dirt when the ball is fielded.
It it goes foul, it gives him but two
more attetnpts-to hit the ball.
According to the new ruling the
ball becomes dead the moment it hits
a batter’s bludgeon and ke 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
victim of this circamstance dozens of
times, and I'll bet you condemned the
ruling. I know you did if there is a
bit of fairness coursing your veins.
CATCHER TO BE PENALIZED. |
About the only other change in the
ruling also strikes e as being fair
and Jjust, Heretofore, when the
catcher has dropped the third strike,
and the batter has reached first
through this muff, the catcher has |
been credited with 'a passged ball. In,
the future the backstop will be given
an error instead. It is his just des
serts, too.
~ Sometimes, in looking over the bhox
score and one sees where the guardian
of the big mitt is handed a passed
ball in the summary, there is always
an element of doubt in the fan's mind’
as to whather the catcher 'really
spilled the beans, or the pitcher made}
a wild pitch, which the scorer de
fined as a passed ball. With the new
state of affairs all' element of doubt
'will be erased. L
. o+ ¥
ANOTHER CHANGE NEEDED.
There ißs one flaw in the rules that
I would like to see changed, but I‘
guess it will finally evolve on some
lone higher up in the game to make
the fight to ghange it. !
That is in regard to errors being
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 &0 penaized, if
the batter ater skies out to some
fieder, or is rnflred‘in some other

WHY NOT TRY VAUDEVILLE.
Johnny Dundee and Benny Leonard
have met eight times in the squared
arena. Bach time they meet the bank
roll of each man mounts 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
fight 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
ghould book themselves on a vaude
flle circuit, and go to it nightly. The
money might not be as plentiful on a
proposition like this, but it would
flow in in a more steady stream.
Cage Leaders
To Have Easy
-
Time Thursday
The three games booked for Thurs
day in the Prep League are not prom
ising. Instead they are three set
ups. Tech High should win easily
over Commercial High on the Smith
ies’ court: Boys' High should have a
fairly easy time with Marist, which
will probably 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
preve the best attraction of the aft
ernoon, as the teams are more evenly
matched. Boys' High sghould evince
no trouble in deleating 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 to
illness, should be in this encounter.

This Weather certainly is the goods,
and it has the knack og making all
men baseballically inclined long for
the first practise day, which is now
thundering down the stretch ands will
arrive within a week or two; that is,
for the pros. The collegians will get
into harness even sooner.
While Charley Frank is spending
a pleasant time down in Bay St
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
tant announcements, when he lands
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 sticks, 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 of hasn’t < ac
complhished.
When Charley does come to town,
he won't stay here for any great
length of tfme. He's coming merely
to look over the Ponce de L.eon dia
mond, and talk matters over with
Frank Reynolds, and view the
weather here, and possibly gaot in
touch with a few of his hired help,
who might be hanging around await
ing the arrival of reporting day. It's
a darned fine idea of Charley's to
train his club in Bay St. Louis. No
better place could be found for the
conditioning process, as Bay St. Louis
has splendid weather about this tinfe
of the year, and the sun beams down
80 warmly upon the athletes their
salary wings can get into working or
der much more quickly than if they
were training here, where the weath
er in March and April is a bit un
certain. Another bright feature of
the training-away-from-home 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 io go out to
see just who is playing on their
tearn and why. Oh my, yes, it's a
great scheme.
Doesn’t seem to be very much do
ing here, except in college circles.
F'rank Reynolds has done all that he
!can, and is now leaving the base-

i The big thing about Spur is its
taste—lt comes from a new method
of blending the choicest Oriental
and finest home-grown tobaccos
that brings out the tip-top qualities
of both.
That good old tobacco taste is
just ene of the reasons that Sput is
at the top and dug in—to stay there.

For Soldiers
| G. M. A, was too strong for the
IFirth 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
lhall'. but in the second period mat
ters assumed a more stringent state.
l 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-l

Cochran, fight promoter, arrived herr .
today after a visit of several months
to the United States. He expressed ~
absolute confidence in his ability to .
land the Carpentier-Dempsey match -
for London. o
“Tex Rickard is my only serious
cempetitor,” said Cochran, “and there' -
are only awo cities where such a bout”?,
can be staged—New York and Lon
don. It can not be held in New York
unless a special law is passed, and _
there is littje chance of that.” iy
Asked if he had succeeded in getting *
Dempsey to sign up, Cochran sai&bl 2
*“No; he hasn’t signed yet. He h ;
good reasons for not signing before: -
the end of February. William A.*
Brady will make the necessary ar
rangements 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 mone:\'_js to be 20,000 pouxii%:i
and an additional 1,000 pounds e
expenses.
“Dempsey’s share will be $200,800.
The flock of bidders now in Europe
trying to land the fight may as well -
start for home, because they can not?
legally bind Carpentier in the facée of
the agreement he has with me.”
