THAT SUNDAY

BALL GAME

(tTnitad Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW TORK. May 23. When Governor Whitman succeeded in killing: the Frawley law permitting ten-round, nodecision bouts in the state of Xew Tork he. accomplished something that may serve to elevate the came to a decent standard, but he immediately called down on his head the wrath of the very men whose work has done most to bring: the game into bad favor with Whitman. Harry Follok was surprised and Dan HcKetrick was dumfounded, yet there was nothing so staggering to the game than their act in bringing charges recently against Fred "Wenck. recent chairman of the state boxfttg commission. Evidence which was Tirought out there, the unconcealed dislike of Wenck by Follok and McKetrick and many

t BT E. C. HAMILTON other things showed as nothing could have the state of the game in New York. Recent bouts in New Tork. under the protection of the Erawley law, have been criticized so strongly in the newspapers that it is eay to believe the Governor doubted if such a thing as a real boxing match ever was staged under the Frawley law. It was stated in Albany after the rassage of the bill under protest of the very men who voted for it. that ft would be necessary in "decency" to repass the Frawley law again next year. This is wrong. It won't be necessary nor right. The proper thing for lovers of real boxing to work for would be a new boxing law that will permit referee's decisions when bouts are over. No mat

ter if six-round, ten-round, or fortyround bouts are to be sanctioned. There never should be another law that will permit bouts but rob them of their only sustaining influence the decision If Freddie Welsh had been compelled to defend his doubtful lightweight championship in bouts where a decision was to have been given he either would not have fought or he would not be champion. There wouldn't have been the arguments that- were certain to deal a death blow; to the garne, Carl Morris and Fred Fulton never would have held their rough-house fight. Johnny Kilbane snevr would have been in disrepute. A thousand things that have happened would have been prevented. The way to correct it is to put the provision for a . decision in the next bcxing law. ''

DAFSGEY HAS A CHANCE TO RECOVER

MEMFHIS. TENN.. May 22. "Darcy still has a little chance; there iss no real change in his condition." This was the bulletin issued from the bedside of the Australian middleweight champion last night.

THIS WHS TOUGH

jDyer Pitcher Has Fourteen Strike-Outs, But Steger I Team is Too Heavy.

(Special to Thb Times.) DTER. IND, May 22 One bad inning proved to be the downfall of the Dyer High school "kids" in iheir game with the Steger team at Dyer Sunday. The inning was the third in which a combination of wild heaves, a fluke hit and a very quest ionablts decision at the plaie seemingly put the game on ice for the Steger gang. The High school youngsters however came back gamely after this bad inning and played a tight defensive game holding their giant opponents to two runs for the remainder of the game. Going into the ninth Inning with the score of T to 3 against them the Dyer lads atartd a rally that almost brought home the bacon for them. However, after two runs had been scored after two men were down the rally fell short when Kuhn sent a terrific wallop straight into the centerfielder'a hands. It was a tough game for Pitcher Hilbrich to ose he having outpitched his rival by many points. Fourteen of the Steger batters fell strike-out victims to his speedy slants. He allowed but six hits, half of these being of the fluky variety and he kept ambitious base-runners glued to the sacks at all times. With this brand of pitching Lawrence is

bound to win many games for the high; school lad?. " p The- features of the game were the i

THE CADDY IS READY

TO QUIT

R. McManus, a veteran of the Kansas City Court y club, who was at Excelsior Springs, told this one: There was a cady strike at Kansas City Country club, and a truck load of newsies was brought out to take the place of the regulars. Among them was a red headed, freckled faced youngster, a typical street gamin. He drew a six foot player, whose clubs weighed in proportion to his size. "Say. mister," said Reddy, "do 1 carry them poles, or do you?" "Tou do." said the member. They had nearly reached the third hole when the boy. staggering along under the weight of the clubs, said: "Say, misted, do you have to do this?" "Not unless 1 want to?" replied the player. "Well. then, let's quit." suggested Reddy.
