SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16.—In a telegraphed statement printed in the San Francisco Examiner today Wil- new form of draft proposed by the| major leagues. Mr. McCarthy's statement said in part: “The Pacific coast league placed a fine of $500, on any club which ac- cepts a player after this date with the draft privileges attached ‘to his contract. It makes the pla¥er inell- gible to play in this league and for. felts all games in which the player participates. “It went further, it wiped out all previous player Imits. “True, it became necessary for me to exercise the right to Vote as a dl- rector—a right I have never attempt ed or wanted to exercise before—but ) when I learned that four directors of this ague, with no consideration of the right or wrong of the isssue, with no other idea than to ‘discredit me Personally, with no~ other ‘thought than to humiliate me, instructed newspaper men to write the story of | liam H.

All the bitterness of years has been carried into it; but the right won and the baseball fans of the Pa- cific coast league can rest assured that irrespective of the lack of good faith by the majors baseball on the Pacific coast will move another step forward.” — TELEPHONE TO LONDON OVER DISTANT RADIO NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—The voice ot H.

Silva landed the most clean blows and forced the fighting half the way, but hela on and clinched in almost every stanza. Silva fought a hard battle in Denver Friday night and showed the effects of it last night. Bday was heavier and fresher at the end of the bout, but was obviously a novice in the roped’ arena. If the two are rematched, our money will be on the swarthy son of Mexico. Kid Plank and Frank Sewell fought six rounds to a draw in the semi- windup. The two presented a Willard Dempsey appearance in the flyweight class. .Plank, always a willing bat- tler, had (ifficulty in solving the tac- ties of Sewell, as he was outweighed and had several inches less reach, Although the referes and one judge @eclared that Jack Shaffer had foul- ed Jimmie Kline in the second pre- Uminary, and awarded the fight to the latter, most of the spectators voiced their disapproval and an ex- amination by a doctor showed that the knockout punch was to the stom- ach.” Shaffer had he best of the mill from the start an¢ had Kline almost out when the bel Iclanged in the third round. Kline took a severe beating. fought furiously tn every round and won the favor of the fans by his gameness. The prize bout, so far as enthus jasm. goes, was between Battling S!ki and the, Louisiana Kid, two ebony jhued denizens of the high brown district. Siki seemed to be winning, when the southern boy uncorked a wild punch which landed on the but- ton—and the bell saved the name- sake of the famous Sengaiese. For great vaudeville, the scene between rounds was a bearcat. E¢dile St. Clair boxer and second de luxe, was in the dizzy boy's corner an ddid his best to resuscitate him. But Siki refused to respond to he first ald treatment. His jaw hurt, he was tired and he wanted to rest. When. the fourth round started bis chair was forcibly drawn from under him anG he was lifted to his feet. All fight had de- parted from his frame, however and he covered his face with his hands like crying school gtrl and tears the size of walnuts dripped to the floor. His second thereupon tonsed the sponge in the ring. ‘The battle royal was a riot. They are for amusement purposes only and the scrap last night filled the bill. Evidently there was rank conspiracy afoot, as four of the Sand Bar boys selecte’ the fifth, a long, slim indl- vidual and tried to punch him to sleep. But Slim would have none of {t. He weathered the storm until the field of five was cut down to three and then decided that it wag time to quit for the night. The remaining two then commenced a fourround STAGGERS IMAGINATION battle to determine the winner.
