| TENDLER WINS JUDGES’ DECISION IN THE GARDEN OVER DUNDEE « AT THE DUNDEE-TENDLER AFFAIR Copyright, 1922 (The New York Evvening World), by Press Publishing Co.

And at the same time it isn’t intimating that the victor had anything but a tough Aght on his hands in taking the verdict over the durable Scotch Wop. It was a fight all the way in which Tendier got the honors and Dundee much of the glory. The Philadelphia lightweight deliv- ers a rib-crusher of a body drive and @ jarring jab that finds the mark with speed and precision. He was taller than his opponent and had an advan- tage of seven and one-half pounds over | the 126 weight announced for Dundee. But Dundee kept after his man from start to finish. How he managed to do so was at times a mystery.

By the seventh the gloves of the pair were water-soaked and heavy and the pounding of the leather on the human frame could be heard all over the house, The fighters tripped and fell with Johnny on top in this round. During one fistic flurry it appeared Johnny was hit dangerously low, but he kept on fighting just the same. Dundee started off the eighth with two snappy lefts, but some of the body punches Tendler ripped in through this and the succeeding round almost doubled the local boy up, though it didn’t stop him fighting. The tenth was a bad one for Johnny. One blow in particular, an inside right, staggered him. Johnny was still fighting furtously through the last third of the fight, but he was taking a lot of punish- ment. A body punch staggered him in the eleventh, another body blow in the twelfth shook him and in the thirteenth his body quivered time and again from the flerce pile-driving stabs to the heart, the ribs and the pit of the stomach. But still Johnny fought on with his old persistence. ‘The fourteenth was rather tame in comparison to the other rounds, but the closing one was a rough one for Johnny—but he kept on fighting. That was Johnny Dundee all the way. Leonard shook hands with Tendler when he stepped into the ring to be introduced. We'd like to see that fight. In the preliminaries Willie O'Con- nell and Louis Guglielmini, former amateur rivals, went four rounds, of which neither had much the better, except that Willie got the decision, Johnny Drummie and Johnny Darcy fought six vigorous rounds to a draw and Tony Caponi was stopped in one minute and fifty-seven seconds of the seventh round by Danny Frush.

HE much vaunted Rancocas Stable evidently hasn't struck its stride yet. It dealt out disap- pointment in large gobs yesterday to the poor innocents who think that anything carrying the colors must of necessity be more than ordinarily worth while, Edgar Allan Poe deliv- ered the worst wallop to the more or less sensitive bankrolls at this stage of the season and then Rigel, served up as hot goods early, went cold on those who madly rush for opening prices. Rigel went away back in the oral wagering but by this time many were hooked and couldn't get off. Edgar Allan Poe was deemed the hottest thing of the day, in fact was one of the kind that couldn't lose. Fractious going to post, he nearly got away from as good a horseman as Sande, and wher the break came he wasn't as quick footed as East View, He got away behind the Butler trick but even then he was expected to Sea Cove was another bad favorite. “Bud May felt he would win but Bud evidently forgot that ‘while the mud was in Sea Cove's favor the distance was a bit further than he likes to go. Sande did all he could with Sea Cove. When Wynnewood didn’t come back to him leaving the far turn Sea Cove was through. About seven furlongs is his notch and he needs mud to help him out. It's some time since James Butler won @ race 80 early in the season. Maybe Trainer Bill Hogan is the cause of it. Anyhow, Bill liked Kast View's chances and told all who asked him, The tip didn't affect the price any for there was plenty of 20 to 1 against East View at all stages. The Butler colt was in very light to begin with, and any student of form must have known he had early speed. Few, however, thought he would stick, particularly in front of such a con- fidently played one as Edgar Allan Poe. East View not only stuck it out, but he was cunning as If he liked it, passing the finish with everything staggering behind him. Johnny Loftus saddled his first win- ner of the year when he sent Dan Bolling to the post, in the second come on and overtake the faint) ice” The gelding had a world of hearted pacemaker. Maybe it was speed, but was lucky at that in get- the going but anyhow he couldn't gain an inch on East View. Instead he lost ground tn the run to the stretch, and on the straightaway was easily headed by Tangerine, He was backing up the rest of the way and at the end was lucky to be third. The chances are Edgar Allan Poe will make amends for this showing on a fast track because he must have shown something to draw the wise money with which he was backed yes- terday. ‘The Rancocas horses sometimes re- cede in the betting but never quite so much as did Rigel, the two-year- old, in the last race, He opened at 7 to 10, and some of the uninitiated thought it good price. It wasn't long, however, before a play developed on Blue Hawk, From 3 to 1 he went back by easy stages until at post time some of the generous layers had him quoted at 1 to 2, Rigel went back and back until he reached a high fig- ure of 3% to 1, Then the paddock “info? began to leak out. ‘Rigel was green,’’ it said In effect Subsequent operations of the oral izers proved he was very green.

TERRIFIC BODY BLows— FEARFUL SMASHES (NTO Jotn, CAPONT peerns| TENDLER WON THE ~ DECISION WITH HIS HE REPEATEDLY SANK. INNS HID- SECTION Mystery Surrounding Absence of Fred Toney From the Club Hasn’t Heard a Word From Big Pitcher Since Given Leave. By Bozeman Bulger. FTER two days of rain-rest th Giants will engage the Phillies at the Polo Grounds to-day. McGraw has Jess Barnes all ready for Wilhelm’s men. He {s the man who trimmed the Yankees in the World's Series. Right now McGraw would give a whole lot to have Fred Toney back in the fold, The fact that Fred is not out there is causing the champ manager much worry. A month ago Toney had a bad arm. He asked for a leave of absence, This was granted. He went to his dog ken- nels in Nashville, Tenn. Since then nothing from Toney has been heard. ‘Three days ago it was reported that Toney was on his way. McGraw smiled. This made it possible for him to work his pitching staff in regular relays. But nothing happened. Toney did not come. Not a word has been rd from him. At last accounts the dog kennels were in perfect order. But nobody, knows anything about Toney. If Toney shows up to-day—you can get a bet on that—he will go in against the Phillies. If he doesn’t McGraw will have to break up his regular order and do the best he can. Despite the rain of yesterday Frankie Frisch was out for a prac- tice. His bad foot must be worked in by degrees. “Frankie is all right,” said Mc- Graw last night. “He could go in and play to-morrow, but I'd be a sucker to put him in just when Rawl- ings is going at his best. What's more, Frisch is too good a ballplayer to want to step in and crab a winning combination. Personally, I think Frisch is one of the greatest ball- players in the world. There is plenty of time in which to use him,"" Hank Gowdy leaned back against the railing at the hotel yesterday and reminisced, It is not my purpose to tip off the age of any old timers, but I knew Gowdy when he was a first baseman with the Dallas, Texas, club and used to associate with the Giants because he was the best three-cush- jon billiard player among the minors. McGraw was also a three-cushion bug. That was the real reason for his interest in Gowdy. The big fel- low—Hank—was signed by the Giants as a first baseman. Being slow of foot McGraw made him into a catcher, He had a great arm, ‘The fact that Hank is now one of the star catchers of all baseball is due to McGraw. “We've got a’ pretty good club,” sald Hank, “Lots of pep. I believe the Giants have the best infleld I ever saw. Not only is it good on paper and in the first line, but it is almost as good in the second line as in the first. We may trim them—any club may, but it isn't in the cards,"* Paid Coaches in etts School.

L Pastime. . Ot Nationa Hard to Believe It Is Same Club That Won Pennant Last Season, By Robert Boyd. PHILADELPHIA, May 6. —‘*The Yankees brought the short winning streak of the Athletics to a close here yesterday, but displayed little of the class they did last ‘summer in nosi:.: out Tris Speaker's Cleveland Indians for the American League pennant. You would not believe that it was the same ball club, even discounting the absence of the mighty Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel, It cannot be attributed to the ab- sence of Miller Huggins, for a long time before their manager was ban- ished indefinitely they were slumping badly, and to-day they are worse off in their pitching and hitting. Even thelr defense playing has been infin- itely inferior to that shown by Connie Mack's team, and considering that the tall, elongated manager of the Mack- men has said this is the worst team he ever had, the humiliation Is all the worse for the American League cham- pions. The Hugmen knocked Rollie Nay- lor off the mound in the first inning yesterday, and then Roy Moore, from Waco, Tex., took up the pitching task. Roy is a likely looking south- paw and for the seven innings he held sway on the mound of Shibe Park he had the Yankees swinging like rusty gates at the ball. Bob Shawkey, the veteran of Hug- gins’s moundsmen, was maced for ten hits, while Naylor and Moore held the New York team to seven. ‘The Yankees are not hitting. This does not apply to J. Franklin Baker, who is guiding the Yankees, follow- ing Miller Huggins's suspension by Ban Johnson. Baker got a single in the fifth, which makes It twelve con- secutive games that the Trappe, Maryland, fammer has hit safely, and his total amounts to twenty-one in these twelve games, averaging 457 per cent. to date. Considering the absence of hitting by the Hugmen and thelr apparent slump, they miss Wally Schang, thelr first string catcher. It can readily be seen now what an important part Wally played in the Yankee machine. If anything, he really was the brains of the Yan- kees on the defense and his hitting was a valuable asset. Devormer, who has been subbing behind the bat for the Yankees, is a promising looking catcher, but lacks the knowledge of the’ American League batters and does not compare with Schang in any way. At times he seems to lose his poise and gets be wildered in the heat of battle. Schang will be out for some time yet with his injured finger and until he returns his absence is going to play an important role in the playing of the Yankees. Here in Philadelphia ghe fans dis- play a keen delight th riding the Yankees, Wednesday they were thrown into a state of joy when Um- pire Frank Wilson cleaned off the Yankee bench and yesterday they pleaded with Umpire in Chief Tommy Connolly to start a few of the Yan- Kees to the showers. The veteran Tommy consented to their wishes, for in the second inning he ordered Whitey Witt off the field for disputing his judgment 9” a called strike. Nor- man McMillan took Whitey's place in right field without achieving anything worthy of note.
