C. last night that for the first time in his long career the “Scotch ‘Wop” cleanly and decisively was out- pointed. A lueky punch of Willie Jackson’s once knocked Dundee out, but later Johnny came back and clearly evinced his superiority over his erstwhile con- queror. Leonard, Welsh, Ritchie, ‘White and other master boxers never have gained more than a hairline de- cision over Scotty Monteith’s Italian protege. Sometimes they were out- pointed themselves by Dundee. Last night, however, the vaunted speed of Dundee seemed slow before the wonderful speed and science that belonged to Cline. the Manhattan Casino was jammed to the doors—sat back in amazement as the young Celt from Harlem tied the clever Dundee into knots and out- boxed and outfought him four ways from the jack. The mill was wonderfully fast and cleanly fought and was only marred by the work of Referee Roche in breaking the men. Neither man showed any strong tendency to clinch, but the fighting was so sav- age that it was a physical impossi- bility for the men to keep up the whirlwind pace respite. When the men however, Roche, instead of the right spot and separating men in the twinkling of an eye as a referee like Kid McPartland would have done, pawed and shoved away almlessly and wasted much valuable time. Cline Leads From Start. showed clear mastery in the first round. He landed at will with light- ning lefts and rights and generally got away without a return. Ever and anon Patsy would close in with | a savage little rush and rip and slash | away at Johnny at close, quarters. Dundee fought back gamely, but: Patsy invariably was inside his round | arm and scoring with clean drives to head and body. As the fight wore along Cline con- tinued to display his mastery. While Dundee landed some telling smashes himself Patsy kept him on the re- ceiving end most of the time. Patsy made Dundee look foolish by cleverly dugkfg John’s leads and making the | Scotch Wop miss by the proverbial | mile. Patsy steadily backed Johnny about the ring and much of the time had him on the ropes and the tirget for a savage bombardment. Cline couldn’t floor the Italian, though once he sent him to his glove tips and twice stag- gered him with hard punches. There | was no question of the winner at the | final bell. One of the largest crowds of the season saw the mill. Many out-of- towners here for the world’s serles at- tended. Former Gov. Dineen of II- | linois, Roger Sullivan, the Chicago | | politician; Charles Comiskey, the | owner of the White Sox and many other faces famillar in the baseball | world could be seen in the. smoke ibanks that enshrouded the ring. There was a gasp of surprise from {the crowd when the weights were an- {nounced as Dundee 130 1-2 pounds, {Cline 137 pounds. It was thought i that both men would scale around 133 i pounds. Dundee was trim and finely | drawn, however, while Patsy carried | a little superfluaus flesh.

Previous | to the calling off of the game sched- uled for yesterday thousands of ticket holders entered the grounds and wait- ed there until the commission decided to postpone the contest. As the crowds filed out of the gates they were met by battalions of scalp- ers, who offered to purchase their tickets at a tidy advance over the original price. Tn substance, the scalpers offered the holders of grand stand tickets, which the club sold at $2, as high as $5, and the speculators did a rush- ing business, as thousands of those who had planned to see a game yes- terday had other arrangements for to- day and were glad to get rid of their holdings at an advance over what they pald for them. Speculators Benefited. _ Therefore the rain not only inter- fered with the players and the public but played right into the hands of the speculators. The result will be that the speculators will be on the job today with thousands of $2 tickets which they bought at $5 each and | which they will be willing to sell to purchasers for $12 to $15 each. In view.of the scarcity of tickets of all kinds the indications are that the scalpers will reap a harvest that they never expected until,the rain came to their aid. The fact that the specu- lators previously had little success in | getting hold of tickets was evident from the prohibitive prices they asked for the few that fell into their clutches. Sets of tickets, two in number, the face value of which is $18 were quot- ed as high as $70 and $80 along Broadway, though not many of them | brought such a price. Several well known speculators disposed of a few sets at prices ranging from $30 to $40. One man prominent in sporting circles paid $350 for a field box, the par value of which is $75. Speculators Active. Many speculators who have been active during the past world's series and other big sporting events in this city said last night that they had been { unable to secure more than a very few tickets, but expressed the belief that they would get hold of many more. The club managers have been very successful in keeping any large blocks of tickets out of the hands of the! scalpers, and by following a wpolicy of “first come first served” had supplied the public with the desired paste- boards. The man from Painted Post had just as good a chance of seeing the game as some chap who went to school with Harry Hempstead—that is if the Painted Post fan reached the office first.
