NORWICH BULLETIN THURSDAY, 'Dowd World’s Middleweight Champ Knocks Out Al McCoy in Sixth Round of Bout at Brooklyn— O’Dowd Forces Fight From Start to Finish—McCoy Knocked Down Several Times Before Final Blow Was Landed—O’Dowd Takes Championship by His Victory. ——— - New York, ‘Nov. 14.—Mike O’Dowd of St. Paul won the middleweight championship of the world in Brooklyn tonight when he knocked out Al Mc- Coy of Brooklyn in the sixth round of a_ten round bout. O'Dowd weighed 157 pounds and McCoy 163. O’Dowd forced the fighting all the way through at a-rapid pace. In the first three rounds hé punished McCoy seyerely with body blows and short left and right smashes to the head. In the fourth both men roughed it and although McCoy was sent down four times, O'Dowd went to the can- vas twice but only ‘for a second each time, while McCoy took a -count -of from three to six seconds. O'Dowd rushed his man all through the fifth round and had McCoy cover- ing up or clinching wildly | to - save himself. In the sixth round o‘Dowd landed a right swing on the jaw; puttirig McCoy down for a_count of two.. Again he swung his right, his opponent taking a count of three, and then sent McCoy to the floor for the third time with a left hood. The referee counted eight Dbefore the Brookiyn man regained his feet. O'Dowd crowded him and hook- ed his left, again sending McCoy down for a count of three. McCoy was grogsy but got to his feet and O’Dowd finished him with a-hard left to the body and 2 right swibg to-the jew. The time of t h.n round was one inute. 25 secon Al McCoy won he middleweight title from George Chip of Newcastle, Pa., by scoring a knockout in the first round of a ten round match in Brook- Iyn April 7, 1914. At the time McCoy was unknown in the pugilistic world. NO MORE LICENSED BOXING BOUTS FOR NEW YORK Ten Round Mills; Become ~Absalete With Frawley Law in Effect. New York, Nov. 14—At midnight tonight the Frawley law, which for over six years permitted ten round boxing ' bouts to ‘be held at licensed ciubs everywhere in New York state, became obsolete. After being on the statute books since July, 1911, the MARKET WAS DEPRESSED Several New Minimums corded Amoug.R Iroad . Stocks. New York, Nov. 14.—The fall of the French minisctry, new uncertainties in the Russian and Italian crises and the problems involved in domestic labor troubles gave fresh impetus today’s dull by extremely depressed stock market. Several new minimums were tered a new low for many years at RS The feeling of uneasiness was ac- kiiza =i by, heavy liquidation of Lib- crty bonds, both issues yielding to low- est quotations, the 3 1-2's selling at a discount in excess of éne per cent. Offerings of securitios were -persis- tent, though relatively moderate, that very" condition adding to the sense of general disturbance. ort was desultory at best, rallies in few in- stances exceeding a point from ex- treme declines of from 2 to 4 points. . S. Steel declined to 89 1-4, within half a point of the vears low quota- tion, but ralied with a few other ac- tive shares just before the close, its final quotation of .90 1-4 representing a net loss of 1 5-8 points. Related in- dustrials made like recessions and some specialties jand [shippings ' were even heavier, reacting 3 to 7 points. Coalers were the backward -features of the railway Hst except for the further reversal noted in grangers, and Puuh:u offered little . resistance . to ressure. Utilities shared in the de- Slime, with Brookiyn Transit at _the new low record of .40 3-4. _ Sales amounted to 615000 shares. International fell back with other bond issues on enlarged operations, Liberty #'s sagged from 99.80 to 99.18, rallying substantially, but the 3.1-2's dropped steadily from 99.30. to 99.86, closing at the lowest. - Total seles o D e value) agstegated 35, o0 U.

According to the annual reports, of the New York state athletic comml: sion, patrons of the sport in the last six years have paid about $5,000,000 in_admissions to ring contests and ex- hibitions held under the Frawley law. The state tax of five per cent. and later 7 1-2 per cent. on these gate re ceipts which has been paid into the state treasiry amounted to about $300,000.

RESOLUTION' TO FCaMm NEW LEAGUE DEFEATED Is Vot@ _Do‘un, 11 to 2, at National Association Meeting at Louisville. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 14—Settlement of the factional dispute which threatened to disrupt the . American association and pave the way for the formation of a new league appeared ot be assured tonight. The rival factions were brought to- gether after the Natjonal Association of Baseball leagues voted down, 11 to 2, a resolution at its convention todty to redistrict the minor ieagues of the country. President ‘Hickey said a meeting would be held in Chicago on Dec. 17 to_decide on plans for mext season.

A. an amendment to a resolution which provided for the redistricting of only the smaller leagues. The proposal was received with a storm of protests and half a dozen league presidents attack- ed it in bitter terms. M. H. Sexton, president of the Na- tional association, declared there could be no withdrawal of the Louis- ville, Indianapolis and Toledo clubs from the American association nor the formation of a new league without the unenimous consent of all of the clubs in_the two organizations. President Barrow of ,the Interna- tional league was unwilling tonight to make any predictions as to whether his organization would take the field. next season. Club owners will meet in New York on Dec. 10 to take whatever steps are necessary. “Beyond that, I haven't a word to say,” Barrow said. ‘“The merger plan apparently has _fallen through. .1 think it would have been a good thicg for the game, especialy in the war- time conditions we must face.” August Herrmann, chairman of the National Baseball commission, appear- ed .before the minor leaguers this af- ternoon and pledged the support of the major leagues to any cause that will be of assistance to the small organ- izations. He declared that baseball glagenerl.l was facing a critical situa- 'he next season will be a serious one both in the major and minor leagues,” Herrmann said. “There will have to be retrenchment everywhere if we hope to exist. The minor leaguers need. the majors and _the major leagues need the minors.

Fans already a re beginning to speculate on the chances of the Giants in 1918.- Prior to the world's series many of the club’s admirers belicved it was the strongest team ever man- aged by McGraw. However, world's series in the past haveé shattered the | reputations ‘of a good many clubs and you\don't hear so much about the Giants being conipared to the old Orioles, the Great Cubs and the later day Athletics as you did a moath ago. No one knew how .strong or weak the Giants really were. They were so far in front after July that their mettle never was tested until the world’s series. They then procedded to blow to the White Sox, the poorest American League champions since the days Detroit made.an annual practice of winning. the championship. Chicago had a zood team this year. but it did not approach the . Athletics of 1910, 1911, and 1913, or the Red Sox of 1915 and 1916_in -baseball sense or all around ability. | The loss of the world’s series by the Giants may have quite an effect on next year's Natfonal League pennant race. Had the Giants won they would have belleved . in ~thamselves miore firmly than before and other teams would have considered them well nigh invincible. Having Jost the series the way they did the Giants may not be S0 sure of themselves next season, while other teams will not hold the same respect for their prowess as they did in 1917. Unquestionably all teams will play harder nst the Giants next year than they did in the past season. Of course it may be argued that the loss of the world’s series does not af- fect the strength -of the Giauts any more than the loss of a series to a inferior team durlnx the regular sea. son. This | in part, but ‘the psychology of lo-lng -a world’s series is far different than losing one during the | the playing season. Plays during 'the are forgotten years after they occur, Time only will tell how the unmer- ciful panning of Zimmerman after the last game of the series will aifect Heine’s pldy in 1918. It was this play- er's misfortune to cap the most bril- iiant season of his career by-a bone which made- him the " laughihg- stock of the nation. Fred Snodgrass never was the same player after he muffed Engle’s fly in the 1912 series. Herzog is another big “if” on the 1918 Giants:. Charley, -through his poor_ physical condition, sagged quite a bit in his work of 1917, and toward the end of the season got into the bad graces of his club and teammates by taking a vacation without permission. A truce was called ‘during the world series, but this feud may break out again next year. McGraw received quite a few com- pliments last season because of his ability to keep harmony on his intield with Zimmerman; Fletcher and Her- zog component parts. Conditions at the end of last season may make ‘t a littie harder, to retain this harmony in However, this is no attempt to be pessimistic over the chances of the 1918 Giants., On paper the club will look far.the best of any other club in the National League. Philadelphia, the only club which gave tho Giants the semblance of a fight last sea<on, is deteriorating with age, while the Cardinals, which' finished third, wil! sorely miss Huggins, who was the brains of the club. Matty's Reds which kicked np quite a fuss at one stretch last season, should ‘give the Giants their toushest opposition next year though Mathew- son must find a second baseman and at least one more reliable pitcher Eller with last vear's experience, should fit in well with Toney, and Schneider. Brown Wins from Soldiers. Providence, R. L, Nov. 14—Brown won an easy victory over the soldiers from Camp Devens by a score of 40 to 0 ‘today. At no time were the en- Eineers of the 201st regiment danger- ous. Their massed attack crum:=led before the Brown line and their aerial formations were easily broken up. The visitors made only two first downs. will Viw Macon. Just previous to the -nnnuncement of the d‘nln' of Miller “Hu would train at Macon, Ga., again in the spring of 1918. Manager Huggins will now make a trip to Macon to see for himself just what the facilities are and it is likely he will advocate feten- tion of the Macon/camp. SPORTING NOTES The fans in Newark, Baktimore, Bul- falo and Toronto are strong for the Union league. . They have had enou.n 3 of the International. Miller Huggins of the Yankees ar- rived in Louisville last night. He will have a talk with Col. Jacob Ruppert. Hug has several deals in mind. Big baseball men are behind the Union leagde plan, which means that it will go through in spite of petty op- position on the part of the soreheads. President Dunn of the Clevelands 1s said to be angling for veteran Sam Crawford to play right field in place of Elmer Smith, who has gone into the national army. Walter Johnson finished his eleventh year in the American league in Octo- ber., During that period he pitched in 465 games, winning 252 and losing 163. He recorded 70 shutouts. Larry Cheney of the Brooklyns says that he used the “shine” ball as well as_the “spitter” this_ year, also t¥at half a dozen other National league boxmen got away with Cicotte's de- livery. The announcement that White. Wings Tebeau, who recently “sbld” the Kan- sas City club, will spend $50,000 to put rival clubs in Loulsville and In- dianapolis is one of the jokes of lhe winter seasoh.
