GIRLS TEAM TO PLAY ' DUNBEE OUTPOINTS . BENMIE LEONARD Challenger Makes Strong Finish in Fast Bout Before 8,000 Fans Newark, Sept. 18.—If the referee had been empowered to render ¢lsion in the eight between Benny titleholder, the First Regiment last night, plon of the world would have rowned. The Italian clearly pointed the champion. He gave the champion five pounds and a licking. Forcing the fight most of the time Dundee four rounds by a clear margin. and the other Leonard took the opening round, Dundee the second and third, Leonard the fourth and fifth. e sixth was even. The Italian cut {Igose. it the last two rounds and in 4 whirlwind finish fought the cham- Pton .all over the ring and clinched the popular verdict. Dundee gave a great exhibition of iaggressive boxing. He started after {the champion at the opening bell and never let up. Leonard met Dundee {eoming in with stiff lefts and rights, 'but Johnny simply shook his head sand bored in for more. Jdhnny Ibrushed aside Benny's tantalizing lefts and got inside with some stiffly driven lefts and rights himself. Tk~ cruel Weft hook with which Leonard has dropped many a boxer failed to pen- etrate Johnny's defence and the Italian also kept Benny from landing solidly with his right. Leonard Draws Blood. Though it was a lightning fast bout blood was not drawn till the .final round when Leonard's lightning left drew the claret from Johnny's nose and mouth. The Italian, however, ‘was unhurt.and fought like a cor- nered bobcat. He backed Benny about the ring, cutting and slashing vicious- Iy at him. For the greater part of the bout Dundee stayed on his feet and did not bring his old jumping jack tactics into play. Johnny kept springing in with panther like speed and grace on Leonard. Benny blocked many of Johnny's leads, slipped or sidestepped some of his rushes but try as the cbampion might he could not kegp the Italian from landing more blows {#¥an he received. ; The only round in which Dundee showed the effects of Leonard’s blows was\the first when Benny rocked the Italian with short inside uppercuts. The champion rattled Johnny's mo~ lars and twice sent him back on his heels. After the first round Johnny found a defence for the inside up- percuts and Benny had trouble land- ing the blows thereafter. The men weighed in, stripped at the ringside, with the champion scal- “jng 135 1-2 pounds and Dundee tip- Ping the beam five pounds lighter, 130 1-2 pounds. Both men were in superb condition, with neither carry- f1g an ounce of superfluous flesh. Leonard is growing, and will not be able to fight at the lightweight limft grmuch longer and be at his best. 3 8.000 Fans Sec Bout. Eight thousand fans thronged the Regiment Armory and the big crowd was treated to a lightning fast ex- hibition of the manly art. Each fight- Br had every trick and strategy of the glove science at his glove tips. It Y¢was a duel between glove masters 2pnd a contest that carried intense in- terest throughout. 3 That the fight was so fast _ Rercely fousht was because Dundee made the fighting all of the way Yeonard seldom took the aggressive, was owing to Dundee's sel- giving him the opportunit gohnny always was on top of his man, azing away with lightning lefts and The points Benny piled up cored on the retreat. Mickey Brown a Winner. Mickey Brown of Now York Bmiling Ritchie of Newark, two ro- bust feathers, put up a slashing six round bout in the first preliminary. Brown, a clever boxer, put it all over fhe Smiler, who was strong and com- bative, ‘but unscienced. Brown drop- Yped his man in the second and had him shaky in the sixth Johnny Mealey, a Philadelphian, In a six round bout, taught Freddie Reese, sparring partner of Benny Leonard, seve important things that the red headed chap did not learn from the c mpion. One thing was the value of a straight left, which anded on Rees head about 200 times. Reese was effective at close range, but Mealey won the bout on points by a wide margin The eight round bout between Johnny Summers of Newark and Joe Welch of New York, welters, was the sort that impelled the spectators to 4 indulge in musical selections or else @ g0 to sleep. It was a tiresome bout, with no advantage to either, the only decislon possible being a draw. H. S.

It is felt certain that Gov. Cox and other state officials gladly would join in making the celebration a state af- fair and that by this method the neighboring cities across the Ohio river in Kentucky also could take part. The tremendous interest throughout th: country in the great fight by the Reds was manifested within an hour after the game that decided the pen- nant fight had been played. Messages of congratulation began to come to the Cincinnati club headquar- ters and all of yesterday there was a procession of messenger boys delive ing telegrams of congratulation. Pres- ident August Herrmamn received hun- dreds of calls over the telephone and many personal congratulations from Cincinnatians, and Managas Pat Mo- ran also was kept busy accepting fe- liitations. Among those who sent tel2grams of congratulation to President Herrmann were John J. McGraw, vice president and manager of the New York Nation- als, the chief contenders with the Reds all season for the pennant; Charles A. Stoneham, president of the New Yorl Nationals, and Charles A, Comiskey, president of the Chicago Americans, the team the Reds will meet in the world's series games. Direct C.

Columbus, O., Sept. 17.—One of the most important stake races of the grand circuit meeting here this fall was decided yesterday when Direct C. Burnett won the Hartman hotel 2:11 pacing event after a hard four-heat race, dropping the second heat in 2:03 to Eva Abbie, who came with a rush that Murphy could not meet. Eva's mile in 2:03 flat was the fastest of the race. Goldie Todd and Direct C. Burnett met yesterday for the first time this scason. Goldie was not up to her best form and she never was able to get - nose ahead. The betting on this race was heavy, many tickets being worth $1,500, with Goldie Todd selling favorite at $5 Direct C. Burnett brought $500 at the same time. The Horse Review futurity for three vear old pacers was won by Jullus de Forrest in straight heats from the fa- vorite, Goldle King. Peter Thornhill won the 2:-15 trot without any trou- ble. This was rather a cheap race. The 2:09 pace went ta Peter Elliott. St. and cals filled the bases on three hits.

LOCAL COPS RALLY BUT ALL TOO LATE Cl St P Meriden Guardians of the Law Trounce Center Street #Athletes”: By 18-13 Scorc. The so-called hall game between the local and Meriden policemen, staged at St. Mary's playground yesterday afternoon resulted disastrausly for the New Britain guardians of the law, Bill Souney’s nine finishing on the short end of an 18-13 score. Weakened by the loss of Pitcher Cabelus, who strained his side in prac- tice and was forced to leave the mound in the third inning, the lacals had the brqaks against them. Veley replaced Cabelus and pitched well, but | his removal from shortstop to the pitching box left a big hole in an im- | portant part of the field. The New Britain cops with the score 18-6 in fu- | vor of the Silver City police, staged a rally in the last half of the ninth in- ning, and for a time it looked as if | the desired number of runs were to be | secured. Seven was the total result of the rally, and the score finished with the New Britain police 13 and the Meriden officers five runs to the geod. | Veley, Feeney and Hart hit well for | th> New Britain team, while Boldt and Cole did the honors with' the stick for Meriden.

Ruppert Says Johnson Will Be Put Out of Game—Baker Asks for Herrmann’s Resignation. Chicago, Sept. 18.—Declarations president of the merican league, should be driven out that August Herr- of the Cincinnati of the National president were made by rominent club owners who met yes- to consider a successor Col. Jacob Ruppert, president of the York Yankees, was emphatic in s statement against Mr. Johnson, while William F. Baker, head of the Philadelphia club of the National f league, was the spokesman in regard to Mr. Herrmann. “Ban Johnson will be put out of baseball,” declared Mr. Ruppert, who added: The Chicago White Sax and the Boston Red Sox have aligned themselves ‘with the New York cluh in this fight against the American league executive, “We do not believe that any man who owns stock in a baseball club in the'league should be head of that or- ganization, and Mr. Johnson has ad- mitted that he is a stockholder in the Cleveland club of our circuit. “Furthermore, Mr. Johnson.has act- ed arbitrarily toward the board of di- rectors ity a number of instances. He has refused to attend the special meet- ings which we called, he has failed to submit the-evidence which he claims he has in regard to gambling at ball | parks, and he also has declined to comply with out rcquest to submit a statement of the financial affairs of the league. “This is a direct constitution and by-laws of the league.-| We believe that the time has come when the powers of Mr. Johnson should be curtailed, and it is our in- tention to carry this matter through to the end.”™ Mr. Baker in referring to Mr. Herr- mann, said: “The Cincinnati club clinched pennant in our league vesterday, as a man Mr. Herrmann should resign from the commission. It would not be fair for baseball for him to sit on the commission when his club is one of those which' will be a contestant for violation of the the and the world's championship. His resi nation should be tendered immediat ly, as this will greatly clear the Wi for the work for which we are herd Mr. Baker did not say whether M} Herrmann had been asked to resign. When advised that Herrmann d clared that he knew of no committy having been appointed ta select a sul cessor to him as chairman of the ¢o! mission, Col. Ruppert acted as spoke man, and said that the Cihcinnati d ficial was fully aware of the appoin ment of the committee. ik The joint committee which met, i terday was appointed in New ¥o| last winter for the purpose of seled ing a man to act as chairman of t National commission, Col. ~Ruppd said.
