WILLIAMS DISTRESSED
OVER LOUISIANA BOUT
Champion Not Anxious for Re-
turn Match With Local Lad.
Demands EXorbitant Purse.

Kid Williams. bantamweight champion
of the world, 10 looking forward to his
Catapult from the top of the "l6" pound
heap and wants to make hay while the
sun shines, or else he is not very anxious
to engage Louisiana in the squared
circle again.
The proposed return match between the
bantams, which has been hanging fire
since the local lad dropped the titleholder
at the Olympia Club. about a month ago,
has not yet been clinched. Matchmaker
Jack Hanlon announced last week that
the fight was virtually on. He arranged
for the semifinal to the bout, which he
expected to stage as the chief attraction
Of a special show next Wednesday night,
and also decided on the prices for the
performance
However, after Offering Williams a fiat
guarantee of $1,000. with a privilege of 40
per cent, Hanlon declares the Baltimor-
can absolutely refuses to sign up for the
match unless he gets twice the purse he
received for his last go with Louisiana.
Hanlon says Williams demand is en-
tirely too exorbitant.
Muggsy Taylor says the advance sale
for the Joe O'Donnell-Yo Young Diggns bout
has come up to expectations and that the
Broadway Club will be crowded to its ut
most capacity tomorrow night. O'Don-
nell has conditioned himself for a knock
out and, with Diggins depending on his
cleverness to win, corklng contest
should result.

| ST LOUIS. May 5.-The fiat statement
that II peace agreement" between the
American League and the Federal League
has been signed was made in a story
published here today. The article fol-
lows:
Peace terms were signed between the
American and Federal Leagues at the
recent peace meeting In Chicago, at which
the highest officials of the two leagues
conferred and then stood pat on policy
OF silence. The National League Is now
the only obstacle to the contamination
of baseball peace.
Absolute veriRcation of the signing
of such an agreement was received last
night The attorney who drew up the
pact admitted that the American and
Federal Leagues came to an understand
Ing at the Chicago meeting
After this understanding had been
reached other parties refused to ratify
the agreement at this time. The other
parties are supposed TO be the execu-
tves OF the National League. as President
Tener and others did not proceed TO Chi
cago, although they We're expected TO
do so.
THE terms of the agreement. in sub
stance, follow:
Hands off the present situation this
wear; the respecting of all contracts as
they now stand; the withdrawal of all
suits now pending; the continuation of
all three leagues this season with
meetings during the summer to ar
range for readjustment of the base
ball map, which would be completed
and arrangements made for 1915 at a
meeting next winter after all details
had been threshed out
Permission was to be given to Fed
eral League owners to buy totally or
In part into clubs of organized ball
their Affiliations with such clubs not
to be announced until the present pen
nant races have been run. This sec
tion would allow baseball men who
had the money to come to the relief of
any clubs which faltered financially or
fell by the wayside during the season.
'It Is believed that the Marsans case
caused the big talk on the part of the
National League, together with the fact
that neither Schuyler p. Britton in St
Louis, Taft and Murphy In Chicago or
Ebbets in Brooklyn would agree to any
arrangement which might force them to
sell their franchises at a price to be
set by appraisers of the three leagues"

There are many kinds of knockouts, all
classified under that broad and VsVeepins
ring term of TX. o." In parlance Of tho
glove arena they mean pretty much the
same thing to the fight fan-defeat, al

Sensational knockouts have been so fire.

would be too difficult task to pick out
one that could stand as the most sem

For that reason we will approach that
portion Of the subject with dlffidence by
stating that the most sensational knock
out ever handed boxer was dealt by
Jack Mccormick then of Philadelphia,
with Norman Selhy C'Itid McCoy'O as the
victim This battle created more ring
chatter at the time than any other be-
cause of the prominence of Mccoy. Nc
Coy didn't weigh much over 100 pounds
at the time and looked like a little boy
alongside Of the massive 100 pounds Of
solid front that Jack presented to him.
Il was plain that Mccoy had all the
skill and speed in his favor, and his
splendid footwork, without being nashy,
carried him so nicely out of range that
Mccormick. during the first minute was
made to look like a truck horse. A half
dozen lightning-like lcfts to McCormlck's
face put plenty Of pink there and ap-

tactics however. twice sprawling badly

Mack's pitchers show again the innate
value of control. Bush. Bressler and
others have enough stuff to bag a win

only a minor part Of this stuff ever gets
