New Orleans, Feb. 23.—Ugly mors were about yesterfday regarding the Dundee-Mandot bout, which was fought here Monday night and award- ed to Mandot by Tommy Burns, who was referce. The reports spoke mys- teriously of the big bets having been won. Nothing definitely was charged | ana no names were specifically men- tioned, but the tallc centered on the fact that certain bettors got all the money. Bd 1 the metropolitan tracks, on the fight, it was said. He accepted all the big bets offered him by the Dundee admirers. The Times-Pica- yune in its report of the bout said: “Dundee wins battle, Mandot gets de- cision.” It also referred to the de- cision of “questionable.” Scotty Montieth, who looks after Dundee’s interests, expressed himself so forcibly, after the bout, that a policeman started to drag him to the station. But for the kind words of a mutual friend, Montieth would have spent the remainder of the night in a cell. The decision was the chief topic of conversation in the hotel lobbies here yesterday and fistic fans declared they would not attend the Lewis-Stone bout at Burns' Arena on Monday cleaned | night. | answer | town and without competition, ought | nothing of the sugges- | ru- | tvan, the well-known layer on up | and ask why it is. I accept your in- vitation, You ask if the pitching now is any better than that served wup by Mathewson. Walsh, Brown, Waddell Johnson, Bender and others. T will that question by ng that the pitching is not any better, but that there is far more of it. With the possible exception of Bender, who had Plank and Waddell or Plank and Coombs to help him, the other stars named bere practically the brunt of tne work. Today there is hardly a club that hasn't more than one star | pitcher. Take Cobb's drop from :420 in 1911 to .369 in 1915. A few yvears ago when Cobb went up against the Red Sov Wood was the star pitcher on that club. There are now at least five great Red Sox pitchers to face. The wonder is that Ty didn’t lose more. When Anson, Delehanty, Brouthers, Thompsosn, Kelly, Wagner, Keeler and others were doing thelr great batting will von kindly show me any | club that had five great pitchers such | as Wood. Shore, Leonard, Foster and | Ruth? Star pitchers of the past were as good as star pitchers of the pres- ent, but the difference is this—there are now at least three great pitchers lo every one the old clubs used to | bave. Which is the answer. 0 WALLACE. A | Eroticisms.

But perhaps Manager Donovan intends to take along the sheriff of Nuttingham to preserve order. Not a Bit in the World. Manager Rowland of the White Sox says that Cobb, Crawford and Veach, the Tiger outfield, form the greatest set of gardeners in the game. This being the case, after what they received from the Red Sox out- field of 1915, the esteemed Phillies have no burning yearning to go against the Tigers in a 1916 world scries. | | | | | Colonel Rowland can secure a number of arguments as to whether or mot Cobb, Crawford and Veach as an outfield, for all around value, sur- puss Speaker, Lewis and Hooper.
