All the Latec: Prep Dope
and Gossip
‘Stall’ Fed
’
BEverybody at the Auditorium
Tuesday night, it seemed, was in a
fighting humor, with the exception
of “Porky” Flynn. Judging from
“Porky’s” actions in his alleged fight
with Fred 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 search for a place
to flop. ‘
In the third “Porky” evidently fig
ured that the could stall a knock-‘
out, and as Fulton sent a zephyrlike‘
uppercut to the weak point ot}
“Porky’s” left eyebrow, Grandfather‘
Filynn in true pantowime fashion
knelt-to the floor and plastered a‘
squl kiss on the canvas.
?Referee-?romoter McDonald was
isgusted and the custodian of the
gong ,probably also contracted some
of the nausea that was sweeping
over the crowd, for he rushed in a
premature gong, and ‘Porky” was
not allowed to takc the count. Ref-'
eree Mack slapped the possuming
“Porky” on the back and bade him
return to his corner. From the look
wn Mack’s face one felt that he would
enjoy kicking “Porky” in the slats far
more than slapping him 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 large crowd,
“Porky” got a mental glimpse of a
telegraph pole and some tar and
feathers and the like, and realized
that he must make an effort to fight.
The exhibition, which was just
about as exciting as a knitting con
test, lasted until the sixth, when
*Porky,” after acting in the role of
a punching bag for Fulton, careened
canvasward, and McDonald counted
out the customary ten, and the crowd
Sispersed.
Fulton, willing to fight, received
little encouragement from the ancient
Flynn, but the crowd in making men
tal notes of 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
gent the spectators away with a good
taste in their mouths,
MEEGHAN BESTS SHARKEY.
Stanley Meeghan and Jack Sharkey
went through eight rounds of milling.
‘"The little Emerald Isle entry pro
ceeded to give Sharkey a boxing
lesson, and while he tried gamely to
administer a knockout, he didn't have
the haymaker to put Sharkey to
sleep. He hammered Sharkey
against the ropes continually, how
ever, and the Irishman plastered a
‘fusillade of wallops on Sharkey time
and again, and the crowd rose to its
feet, expecting a knockout.
Private Phillipps and Sergeant
Day, both of the Sixth Infantry, went
through four rounds of milling, and
the sergeant looked very ,much the
worse for wear at the end of 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.
v+ “Kid” Nappie 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 Mlske‘
and Boyd opened the bill. Boyd
looked like the winner in this en-|
gagement. |
Tuesday night’s appearance is prob
ably “Porky” Flynn's swan Song, so
far as Atlanta is concerned. Fight
fans wouldn't go to see “Porky” on
a bet if he is ever booked to- meet
any one here again.

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 factions, it waa‘
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 twol
warring camps:
“l. The dismissal of all Mtigation
instituted by the New York Amer
ican League club.
“2, The reinstatement of Carl Mays
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 ILeague 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 two
years, 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 reviewiwg board
are unable to agree, a federal judge
in Chicago shall decide the quest:llon{
submitted.”
The successor of Gary He--rm:mnl
as chairman of the national baseball
commission will be chosen today. It
was reported todsv that three names
will be placed in nomination. Judge
K. M, Landis, Chicago; William H.
“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
ean 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 repeating the offense.
The National League at its meeting
followed the example of the American
League 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. Bach
eclub owner registerd with President
Heydler the names of the men who
usa this delivery, Pittsburg alone
announced that it had not even one
gpitball twirler on its list.

ONTHE LEVEL
By HENRY VANCE
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
eventually. But the moguls, very
much like the confirmed booze head,
|desire to taper off. And, to do this
the coming season they will allow
but two pitchers on each club to use
the spitter. All other hurlers except
the favored duo must gonfine: their
pitching to hooks and fa\t 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.
L . ®
BLUFF CAN BE WORKED.
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 wil! warrant a fine
or expulsion from the league. The
pitcher’s defenss is that he was bluff
ing the spitter. There is no law
lngalnst bluffing; it‘ so there you are.
.
lANOTHER 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 to use thei
'dellvery, however. 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, 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 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 8:30 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 tum|
out more work and may be better
‘men, but working under this handi
cap 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
sition, however, and the ruling should
be adopted by the Southern League
when 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
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
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.
If it goes foul, it gives him but two
more 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 uched the sphereoid. Three
nheer,' for the American moguls.
You've seen a batter the unfortunate

. magazine in Arizona.
T
times, and I'll bet you condemned the
ruling. I know you did if there is a
bit of fairness Eoursir‘xg your veins.
.
CATCHER TO BE PENALIZED.
About the only other change in the
ruling also strikes me as bélng fair
and just. 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 passed 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
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 whether 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 é6f doubt
will be erased.
. s "
ANOTHER CHANGE NEEDED.
There is one flaw in the rules that
I would like to see changed, but I
guess it will finally evolve on some
one higher up in the game to make
the fight to change it. L
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 so penaized, if
the batter ater skies out to some
fieder, or is retired in some o'ther

Strong'Y Clan
The Peacock Bluebirds disposed of
the Y. M. C. A, Leaders team at
the loeal “Y” last night 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.
“Red” Laird and Donny Owens
were too much for the Leaders, and
they rang field goals at will, a 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.

Cadet Quint
Is Too Strong
.
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 assumed a more stringent state,
The 'score &t the end @f the first
half was 8-2, and when it is taken
into consideration that only 5 points
were totaled during the second pe
riod, the fight that ensued is easy to
apprehend.
8.8. Call
By GUY BUTLER.
This weather certainly is the goods,
and it has the knack of making all
men baseballically inclined long for
the first practise day, which isß now
thundering down the stretch and 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
48 expectedy will make some impor
tant announcements, when he lands
upon the shores of our cny.
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 i 8 never backward in telling the
scribes what he has or hasn't ac
complished.
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 de Leon dia
mond, and talk matters over with
Frank, Reynolds, and view the
weathbr here, and possibly get 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 wcather about this time
of the year, and the sun beams down
so warmly upen the athletes - their
salary wings can get into working or
der much more quickly than if they
wero training here, where the weath
er in March and April is a bit un
certain. Another bright feature of
the training-away-from-home ilea 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
year. And the faces will be new to
them, and they'll want {0 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 much do
ing here, except in college circles.
Frank Reynolds has done all that he
can, and is now leaving the base
ball work to the Cracker president.
As far as the Cracker personnel
at the present time is concerned, you
know as much as we do about it.
Frank has one catcher, Bob Higgins;
one infielder, Harry Damrauy; two
outfielders, Sammy Mayer and Har
din Herndon, and three pitchers, Tom
Sheehan, Joe Thorburn and Lefty
Suggs, back from the 1919 cham

the Indian, for an outfield tryout,

other youngster or two farmed out
last season to the Sally League.
Robert Higgins will do the manag
ing this year, with Frank occupy
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 abllity as a leader will
enable Bob to keep the Crackers In
the fight this year. When Bob was
down in New Orleans as captain of

the Dobbers weren't in the thick of
the pennant scramble. ‘

unless a special law is passed, and
there is little chance of that.” i
Asked if he had succeeded in getting
Dempsey to sign up, Cochran said:
“No; he hasn’t signed yet. He has
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 money is to be 20,000 pounds
and an additional 1,000 pounds for
expenses,
“Dempsey's share will be $200,000.
