NEWARK CLUB EXPECTS TO OBTAIN EIGHTEEN
SUNDAY CONTESTS AT WIEDENMAYER'S PARK

II not the best. team IN the league for
the 1918 season. will cause q bitter
fight for Sunday games here. It will
mean the biggest profits 70 De real
lied here IN several seasons. Jack
Dunn remarked last season that with
a popular regime Newark would be a
gold mine. OF course jock did not
say that Tigerville is better than
Baltimore, but his words we're to the
same effect Therefore it seems GER
tain that We viii get eighteen Sun
day games al home.
One policy which Manager Smith
will taboo is the idea Of jumping
home from the road to play Sunday
games here in order to fiji cut post
ponemsnts. Such a jump last season
from Buffalo to Jersey City turned
the Tiger machine turtle and dis
rupted its inner workings for three
weeks.
Smith reports from Savannah that
the weather is uneomfortably warm
down there. The Georgia climate al
this stage Of the season calls for a
great deal of damp and moist

Young Cardell of Montclait, won
from Willie Mantler, OF Jersey City.
in the main four-round event at the
Central Institute last night. Mantler
entered the ring in poor shape, as
result of a ten-round fight in New
York last Saturday night. when he
defeated Kohoma Kid, but displayed
gameness throughout and showed no
signs of worry. although he was
handed a neat lacing by the Mont
eiairite. Cardell won in every round
He was clever at times. but his MT
ting powers were light. With Mani
Ter in good condition and Cardell IN
f1rst-class shape, bout between these
lads would probably be an evenly
matched affair.
Jack Palmer was entitled to Just a
shade over Bert Stevens, of summit.
The local lad forced the mining
throughout and was the aggressor
in nearly every round. Stevens only
a few weeks ago knocked out Farmer.

ing. Driscoll warmed up TO his task
and landed strong left on Moran's
mouth. They clinched and when they
broke away Moran sent in a left hook
which told hard on his opponent, and
which he repeated before the bell
sounded.
Clinching occupied much of the
twelfth round and became more FREE
quent, despite the referees repeated
cautioning. From then on the battle
lacked lustre and evidently had
passed its climax if climax it could
be called. Moran used his head sus-
piciously. In the sixteenth round not
a clean blow was struck.
In the next and the eighteenth
rounds the referee did most of the
work in warning both fighters. while
the nineteenth round was another in
which neither man landed a clean
blow. In the twentieth both exerted
themselves to get the lead. but with
out success, and the fight ended as
disappointingly as its opening rounds
had begun.

DriScOH and Moran Fight
Draw for English Title

LONDON, Jan. 2S.-Jem Driscoll,
the British featherweight champion,
and Owen Moran, a native of Cardiff,
Wales, fought twenty round draw
last night for the featherweight title.
The contest took place at the Ma
tional Sporting Club, where a great
crowd witnessed a fast battle.
At no stage of the battle was
either boy In danger of a knockout.
They spent most of their time in
clinching, and when they did any
real fighting their blows were sadly
lacking in power.
Driscoll weighed in at 126 pounds
and Moran at 124h. The betting be-
gan at to 1 on Driscoll but soon
switched to to 4 against Moran.
Not until the tenth round did the
battle become really interesting.
Driscolrs defense was too good for
Moran to penetrate and Moran COW
cred himself too well for Driscoll to
put over anything startling. Moran,
besides, was executing some lightning
footwork.
The eleventh round was more excit-

YOUNG KURTZ AND
HOWARD DOWN TO
WEIGHT FOR BOUT

Young Kurtz and Johnny Howard
predicted a victory by the knock
out route as they stepped from the
scales today, after weighing in for
the ten-round bout that is the fea-
ture of the card at the Hillside A.
c. tonight. Howard claims he will
enter the ring in as strong condition
as he has ever been, and will make
Kurtz hustle in order to stay the
limit. That ,tonight's battle means
much to both boys can be taken from
the fact that neither has lost a min
ute in preparing himself for the bout.
The State title goes to the victor,
and as each has claimed to be the
others master lively scrap may be
expected before either gives away his
right to the welterweight title.
The semi-final OF six rounds be-
tween Ray Hatfield and Jimmy
Storm is another feature on the
card. Three four-round preliminaries
will start things going.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Although
America still leads all nations as a
point winner at the Olympic games
Notwithstanding the confessed pro-
fessionalism of James Thorpe and the
consequent loss of points made by
him, the American Olympic commit
tee faces today the unhappy duty of
returning to Sweden the handsome
trophies awarded the Indian, while
the Amateur Athletic Union must re-
wise all It's records.
BY virtue of these changes Martin
Sheridan, a New York policeman,
automatically resumes his title as
champion all-around athlete of
America. Thorpe took the honor
from him while competing in New
York last Labor Day. All his records
must go, however, and the trophies
for first place that day will be
awarded to J. Bredemus, a Princeton
athlete, who finished second.

A week ago, in fact. scarcely five
days ago, James Thorpe, the Sac
and Fox Indian, student in Car
Isle, and the worlds most renowned
athlete, wore the hero halo of an
Olympic champion. Today he stoical-
~ accepts the sympathetic messages
of thousands of loyal Americans,
some of them his closest friends,
others his admirers who have never
looked on his yisage accept in news
paper cuts. Thorpe may be the
martyr of a big league intrigue, the
jealousy of major league magnates
to obtain his signature binding him
to perform as an advertising de-
dunn next season.
That is the newest theory regarding
the thunderbelt which fell last
Thursday when Thorpe was formally
charged with professionalism II
was carefully covered up, made to
look like a slip of the tongue on the
part of Manager Charles Clancy, OF
southbridge, Mass.
The United States, knowing that
Thorpe's records had been tainted by
professionalism by playing baseball
in the South could not hold up her
head in the knowledge that she or
her sons had acquired unjustly any
trophies, no matter what their value
In the Olympiad.
The points lost by the disqualifi-
cation of Thorpe do not mean that
,,io IN q11nrpn-
acy and the Olympic title Will De
affected. 1t is hardest on Thorpe.
Those who spread the scandal mad
every opportunity to speak up iast
spring when Thorpe's name was
suggested. There might have been
hubbub here at home, but ABROAD
+he subject would never have gotten
into the columns of foreign papers.
Not even the harping English news
papers can criticise the prompt action
taken by the A. A. u, and the
STRAIGHTFORWARD manner in Which
Thorpe relinquished the crown,
which he must have valued
more highly than anytnlns
else on earth, for he stead
fastedly refused to become pro-
fessional or to accept fabulous offers
by exhibiting his person and proWess
to the public Of this country to enrich
some greedy promoter.
The report that Thorpe had signed
a contract with the Pittsburgh Club
last fall calling for a stipend OF
$1,000 a season is among the rumors
circulated today. but lacking in veri-
fication. The theory has been adj
vanced that some jealous club owner
unfriendly to Barney Dreyfuss, or
sore because he had been turned
down by Thorpe, assisted in spread
Ing the muck. Thorpe played pro-
fessional ball in 1909 and 1910, being
ignorant at the time of any future

blow that Thorpe's indiscretion in

about. The Amateur Athletic Union

these charges would be made.
