‘Stall’ Fed
Porky Is
¢ v |
Defeated
Everybody at the Auditoriim
Fhesday night, it seemed, was in a
fighting humor, with the exception
of “Porky” Flynn. Judging from
“Porky's” actions in his alleged fight
with ¥red 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 thit the ecould stall a knock
out, and as Fulton sent a zephytlike
uppercut to the weak point of
“Porky’s"” left evebrow, CGrandfather
Flynn in true pantonilme fashion
knelt to the floor and plastered a
s;}‘l kigs on the canvas.
eferee-Promoter McDonald was
disgusted 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, s’ “Porky” was
not allowed to take the count. Ref
eree Mack slapped the possurhing
“Porky” on the back and bade him
r&mm to his corner. ¥rom the look
on 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
teleinph pole and some tar and
feathérs and the like, and realized
that he must make an effort to fight.
The exhibition, which was just
about ad 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 MeDonald counted
owt the customary tén, and the crowd
dispérsed.
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 mateh for Jack Dempsey, heavy
welght chamipion. Fred, however,
seemed to be willing to give his best,
an'ghthls won the crowd for him.
e putrid main bout was preceded
by a great card of prelims, and this
sent 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
oeeded 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 Ifs
feet, expecting a knockout.
Private Phillipps and Sergeant
Day, both of the Sixth Infantry, weént
through four rounds of milling, and
the sergeant looked wvery much the
worse for wear at the end of the en
counter, the private getting the
dec¢ision ‘
McKEOWN'S EXHIBITION. 5
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” Nappie and Young Benjamin
went four Tounds and Benjamin
cleurly defeated his opponent, but,
Referee “Bill” Kaliska midsed one in
the excitement and held up the wrong
hand. |
A four-round set-to between Miske
and Bovd opened the bill. Boyd
looked like the winner in this en
agement. 4
Tuesday night's appearance is proba
ably “Porky” Flynn's swan song, 80
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. !

War Over
CHICAGO, Feb. 11—In the wee
sma’ hours of this morning, the dove
6f peace fluttered down on the Con
gress Hotel and found a resting placé
amid ‘the warring factions of the
American League and forthwith &
“lasting peace” was signed, witnessed
and ratified.
According to both factions, it was
a fifty-fifty settlement of the diffi
cultiés 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 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 League 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
yeéars, consisting of Col. Jacob Ru
pert and Clark Griffith to act as a
reviewing board with final and bind- |
ing power tb review any penalties
or fines in excess of §IOO or ten days
suspensionh or any aect that any mem- |
ber feels affect®s his constitutional
rights as a member of the associa
tion. In case the reviewing 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
commission will be shosen today. It
was reported tod., that three names
will be placed in noemination. Judge
K. M. Landis, Chicago; William H.
“Big Bill” Edwards, New York, and
John C. Toole, National Lea.gun,a.t-‘
torney, are the three mentioned. 1
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 riule also was passed
that any owner of manager tambpef
ing with the players of anothet club
shall be fined 81,000 for the first
offense and expelled if found gullty
of repeating the offense.
The National League at its meeting
followed the example of the American
League by barring the spitball after
the cloge of the 1920 race; but while
the American League clubs are lim
ited to two epitballers each for the
coming season the National declded
to petmit each club to carry Its full
complement of these artists. Bach
dlub owner registerd with President
Heydler the names of the men who
use this delivery. Pittsburg alone
announced that it had not even one
gpitball twitler on its liet. |

PHILADELPHIA, Feb, 12.—Twen-|
ty-nine ball players, veterans and the
amtitious youths from the tall uncut
will sssemble at Birmingham, Ala.,
on March 7 and until April 3 will
train and fight for positions on the
1920 Phil outfit. .
The team leaves here on March 5§
for the metropols of Alabama and
when Gavvy calls roll call on March
7 he will have eleven pitchers, three
catchers, nine infielders and six out
fielders without including himself in
the latter group. The majority of the
Phils will be veterans tried and true,
but there is just enough sprinkling of
young blood in the cast to arouse the
fans’ curiosity as to the prospects of
those youngsters shoving some of the
“vets” off the team and taking the
jobs themselves. !
Of the eleven pitchers six are am
bitious youths. They are Roy San
ders, purchased from Pittsburg;
Cantwell, Thornton, Weinert, Langull
and Betts. The rest of the hurling
staff includes the well known Eppa
Rixey, Lee Meadows, Bradley Hogg,
George Smith and “Red” Murray.
Leon “Red” Ames, secured from the
St. Loulg Cards last fall, is among
the missing on the pitchers’ list, Lar
ry Chaney has been given his un
conditional release, but nothing has
been said about Ames.
Jaclkk Adams and Walter Tragresser
are the two veteran catchers who
will do the bulk ot the work in handl
ing the eleven slabbists, Then there
18 a new one by name of Witheron,
who will help out.
R. J. Miller, Hellman and Russell
Wrightstone are the new acquisi
tions to the infield, These youngsters
are combating against Fred Luderus,
tene Paulette, Davy Baneroft, Russell
Blackburne, Harry Pearce and old
{Jack Miller former nlicaround star
:nf the St. Louis Cardinals, féor jobs,
{ Wrightstone is a third baseman, R.
J. Milier a shortatopper and Heilman
also likes the left side of the dia
mond.
In the outfield Gavvy has a world
4 geasoned material to draw hie
three regulars from. Emil “Irish”
Meusel, Fred “Cy" Willlams and
Charles “Casey” Stengel are outer
gardeners of worth and ability. Then
the former home run king has Leec
Ca'lahan, Walsh and Leßourvean to
back up his three veterans. Leßour
vean played a few games last year
with the Phils, during the fading
days of the 140-game schedule, and
showed enough stuff to give %iomlse
of bright praepssts for 1920, atgel
is said to have relented in so far
as keeping out of the big show and
will join the club in the Bouth to
fight for that right field job.
The Phils will spend one week In
morning and afternoon workouts. The
usunl ease-up stuff for one day will
start them off on March 7; then there
will be dally practises until March 13
when Cravath will start them against
the Birmingham Southern Assocla

of blending the choicest Oriental
and finest home-grown tobaccos

That good old tobacco taste is
just one of the reasons that Spur is

LIVERFOOL, Feb, 11.—Chartles B.
Cochran, fight promoter, arrived here
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.
"Tex Rickard is my only serious
competitor,” said Cochran, “and there
dre only awo cities where such a bout
cah be staged—New York ahd Lon
den. 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 getting'
Dempsey to sign up, Cochran said: *
“No; he hasn't signed yet. He has
good reasons for not signin{ before
the end of February., William A.
Brady will make the necessary ar
rangements in my behalf.” N
“How about Carpentier?” 1.
“He's bound to me for the M%E olt"
this year and part of 1021. His # _
of the money is to be 20,000 M‘!‘l§
and . an additional 1,000 pounds for*
expenses.,
“Dempsey’s share will be $200,000.
The flock of bidders now in BEurope
trying to land the fight may as 'Ol%‘.
start for home, because they can no
legally bind Carpentier in the face of
the agreement he hag with me.,” 3
