NEW YORK. Sept. l1.-Prlze fight
managers in this city were greatly

ing notice on Sheriff Julius Hamburger
and District Attorney Whitman that
the bout between Packey Mcfarland
and Ad. Wolgast was prize fight
pure and simple. and must not be per.
mitted, has dazed the promoters.
IL is taken to mean that the gov.

ne maintains this attitude on all big
matches only. the second and third
raters can be brought together in the

Dix has always taken the position
that Senator Jim Ffawley buncoed
him into signing the present law. He
insists that he was told II was for
the benefit OF the amateurs and when
he found that II apparently legalizeu

The Detroit times., 1912-09-11


I. Jensen. the young pitcher from New
Haven. showed up well on his first ap
lpearance here yesterday. Wildness
was his principal defect.
Only In the seventh inning was he
at fault for the runs the Athletics
scored and then it was his harelike
qualities that got him In bad.
The support accorded the youngster
was anything but reassuring. The
first two runs made of him were
idirectly accountable to errors.
In the first with Murphy on third
and Baker on first, double-steal was
started. Stanage tried to get Muir.
pfry on third but threw the ball away
allowing Eddie 10 come home.
In the third, Collins walked stole
and scored when Deal tossed the ball
TO the pavilion trying to throw ont
McInnis at first.
The seventh proved a bad inning
for Jensen and is the one that forces
the scorer TO discredit him with a
game lost. After Murphy had flied
TO Crawford. Jensen hit Maggert This
seemed to get his nerve for he passed
Collins again and j. Franklin Bake
dropped the ball in the corner OF the
bleachers for a homer.
The Tiger infield was a tumble n,
