Scheme of "PirGfe Scout to
Sign Thorpe Caused Trouble

Further developments today, in
Guiding statement by Glen Warner,
the Carlisle coach, seem to verify the
suggestion made in these columns
yesterday that Thorpe may be the
victim of some sort of big baseball
scheme to force him to sign major
league contract for the coming sea-
son.
Warner believes that a Pittsburgh
scout who tried to obtain Thorpe's
contract succeeded in unearthing the
about Thorpe's curtailed
baseball career in Dixie. 1t is sup
posed that he did not intend to go so
far as to spread the matter all over
the world and send Thorpe down to
disgrace He probably threatened to
expose Thorpe's record if the Indian
refused to sign, and the clever ath-
lete showed his character by defying
the scout.

VERDICT OVER
KURTZ WON BY A SHADE
BEFORE LARGE CROWD
Tenth Round Finish Gets Victory for Bay
onne Boy, Whom Kurtz Had Weary
in Third Round from Blow on Jaw.

Johnny Howard, of Bayonne, is
the welterweight champion of New
Jersey, whatever particular prestige
that title may give him in the pugi-
listic world he having a slight edge
on Young Kurtz, of this city, in
their ten round bout at the Hillside
Athletic Club last night before one
of the largest crowds that ever
turned out to a boxing show in this
city.
Howard won, but not by any mar
gin that he can point with pride to,
for Kurtz gave him battle all the
time, and was dangerous right up
to the end of the fight. Kurtz
packed a right swing that was
vicious, but though he cut it loose
any number of times he only landed
IL right once. That was in the third
round, when he landed flush on
Towards mouth, and the Bayonne
lad staggered around for a moment
like a lassooed steer while the blood
gushed from his mouth. Kurtz was
slow in following up his advantage,
and Howard recovered enough to
stall and clinch through the remain
ing minute of the round
The rest of. the fight was prac-
tically even, except in the final
round, when Howard fought fast and
hard and drove Kurtz from corner
to corner of the ring under a fusil-
lade of right and left jabs and swings
that Kurtz took almost without re-
turn.
1t was case of the fast and fleet
jabbing fighter being pitted against
a swinging walloper Howard would
jab and get away while he was al
ways inside of the swings of Kurtz,
the latter's glove going harmlessly
around the Bayonne lads head.
Outside of Howard having a slight
ly cut mouth and Kurtz small
cash on the lip, neither man showed
a mark of the fight when they left
the ring after ten rounds of very
fast milling.
There were many who thought a
draw was the best that Howard
should have had, but outside of the
one punch landed by Kurtz in the
third round Howard did the bulk of
the work.
Hatfield All the Way.
The semi-fnal between Ray Hat
field and Johnny storm, both OF this
city, was Hatfield's all the way, but
ne could not land the sleep punch,
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-01-29

though he gave Storm an awful beat
ing for six rounds. Hatfield opened
up big cut over Storms eye in the
second round, and for the rest of the
fight the latter was almost blinded by
the blood flowing into his eyes.
Storm had a vicious fighting face
and he looked more like maddened
gorilla than a human being in the lat
ter rounds of the fight, after Hatfield
had decorated his countenance with
sundry wallops and punches.
The Prellminaries.
The three preliminary bouts of four
rounds each furnished some good
sport for the big crowd, and right
here let it be said that though the
big dance hall at Hillside Park was
filed almost. to capacity. there was
no disorder of any kind noticeable.
True, there was noise as the fight
fans cheered their fayorites on, but
the crowd was as free from rowdyism
as the fighting was from brutality.
In the first preliminary, Battling
frankie bested Young" Powers,
both lads hailing from this city.

were willing to stand toe to toe and
exchange wallops. though neither had
strength enough to do much damage.
young Marquard, of New York,
likely looking lad, who has fought
several good fights here, gave Freddy
Ketchell, of Newark, good facing in
their bout, but could not put him
away. Marquard landed a terrific
right, flush on Ketchell's nose piece
early in the first round and Ketchell
was not thing of beauty after that.
He lasted the four rounds, though,
but was tired lad at the finish.

punching bag of young" Wenco. of

when Wenco had a left eye that was

ing, while he was so weak he could
hardly raise his hands.
The usual fleet of fighters were
introduced preceding the main bout,
including Young" Gradwell, of this
city, who Is carded to meet zone

the next show of the club. next Tues
day night. Hogan's forfeit money,
clinching the match, is expected to

Joe Kelley is experiencing the
greatest trouble encountered by any
International League manager in
signing up his players for the COM
ing season. AS a rule players who
win championship believe they are

they make it miserable before they
will sign. Then the pennant- winning
combination generally proves a
bloomer.
