Murphy Must Give Up
or Pay Up Next Week
Unless Cubs Give Tigers a c atcher, Needham or Graham,
Solomon Will Demand Cash Balance for
Smith and Agler.

whether or not Tom Needham will
come TO Newark will be known in the
very near future. The fans will be kept
ing the stories about his coming here"
Thus spoke Business Manager George
L. Solomon today.
we have arranged to meet President
Charley Murphy, of the Chicago Club,
at the scheduled meeting of the Ma
tionai League in New York next week,
and the deal will be closed up--we will
either take the money due us for Char
ley Smith and Joe Agler or we will get
some definite dope on what players
Murphy intends to give us. We do not
intend to wait until the last moment
and then have him send us some doubt
full material. We'd rather take the
money and buy our own men without
any strings attached.
ION the first of the month the Chi
cage Club sent us a list of all the play
ers on its reserve list, telling us to take
our choice OF any two of them. Joe
turned around and marked off all of
the regular stars and some of the re-
cruits who looked good to him, and we
have heard nothing since.
I'VE need one more good pitcher. I
don't know where he is coming from,
but we will land him sooner or later.
I have the promise of a boxman from
Charley Ebbets, but I have already
learned that promises count for nothing.

Dundee Gets
= Decision Over
Eddie O'Keete
Battle a Hurricane All the Way.
Victor's Strength and
Courage to the Fore.

Johnny Dundee, the sensational little
featherweight, of New York, was en-
titled to the decision owe Eddie
O'Keefe, a Philadelphia boy, in a ten
round bout at the National A. c., of
New York, last night.
The patrons of the club received the
worth of their money for there was
something doing every minute of the
ten rounds. O'Keefe is a wonderful
boxer, and has science galore, but he
was forced to back UP many times
after the fifth round, from the terrible
onslaught that was hurled at his face
and body.
o'Keefe was the aggressor at the
start. He put three to Dundee's face
and crossed with a right without q re-
turn. The worm turned and Dundee
took a hand in the milling, sending
two straight smashes to the face. 1t
was give and take to the end OF the
round. O'Keefe had a slight lead.
In the second Dundee showed his
prowess and slammed a few that were
not to O'Keefe's liking. The third
round was an even affair. Dundee got
two lefts to the face, but came back
with two to the body. AS the bel
sounded Dundee landed a beauty of
a left on the point of the jaw.
The fourth round was easily Dun
dee's, while O'Keefe annexed the fifth
But the sixth was a hummer. The
crowd was on edge. Dundee started te
rip blow after blow on the Philadel'
phian, and there were clamors for &
knockout. O'Keefe got a left to tht
jaw hat made him hold on. Dunde,
tried to push him away so as to finish
the affeir. The bell saved a knockout
The mex three rounds found Dundee
forging a bit to the front, but his adj
vantage already gained Melted him the
decision. O'Keefe a the aggresso,
in a part of the ninth, but terrific
blows to the body made him give up.
The tenth round found the boys
working their "heads off" Each
wanted to score a perfect victory and
worked only for that end. The lads
stood in the centre of the ring and ex-
changed smashes to the jaw that
would have Jared a w~elterweight. No
advantage was gained by either and
the sound of the bell found them en-
gagged in a smuggling fest.

 Although this measure of paroIing prisoners after serving fifteen years is supposed to be mixed with the good qualities that appeal 70 the better cid, If immunity. still in the light Of recent events it appears wrong.
