Chicago, Feb. 23-The new owners of the Cleveland American League team are satisfied that they will have no opposition this year in the Amer ican Association, according to J. C. Dunn of Chicago, who is to be presl- dent of the club.
 We think Cleveland is a great ball town and without competition, ought to be @ winner financially said Dunn yesterday.
 s'I do not know whether the Amer ican Association team is to be trans .ferred to Telodo or not, but I made certain that it would not be in CleVe- land"
 It was learned yesterday that Thom- as Walsh of Davenport, Iowa, is one of the purchasers of the Cleveland club.
 Walsh for one season was a mem- l Der of the Chicago National League l team under the management of Frank | Chance. His father objected to his l continuing in the game, and he for

THINK DUNDEE GOT =" VERY ROUGH DEAL
New Orleans Sporting Men Talk Mys- teriously of Big Bets Being
 Won.

New Orleans, Feb. 23.--Ugly ru- mors were about yesterday regarding the Dundee Mandot bout, which was fought here Monday night and award ed to Mandot by Tommy Burns, who was referee. The reports spoke mys teriously of the big bets having been won. Nothing definitely was charged and no names were specifically men toned, but the talk centered on the fact that certain bettors got all the money.
 Ed Ryan, the weIl-known layer on the metropolitan tracks, cleaned up on the fight, it was said. He accepted all the big bets offered him by the Dundee admirers. The Times-Pica- yune in it's report of the bout said: "Dundee wins battle, Mandot gets de- cision." It also referred to the de- cision of "questionable.'
 Scotty Montieth, who looks after Dundee's interests, expressed himself so forcibly, after the bout, that a policeman started to drag him to the station. But for the kind words of a mutual friend, Montieth would have spent the remainder of the night in a cell.
 The decision was the chief topic of conversation in the hotel lobbies here yesterday and fistic fans declared they would not attend the Lewis-Stone bout at Burns Arena on Monday night.

COLLINS RULES
 TO BE PUBLISHED
Eddie'S Commandments Will Be Used in Moral UpIft Of Youth

Philadelphia, Feb. 23.-Eddie Col Iins, author, evangelist, baseball play CT, is the author of ten command ments entitled: "The Ten Rules of Life Eddie was so pleased with the sermon he delivered to schoolboys grownups on clean living last Sunday that he has decided to have several thousand copies of the commandments printed and distributed in Sunday schools so that he can aid in the moral uplift of the American youth, Since Sunday Eddie has received more than a score of letters asking the shortstop of the Chicago White. Sox to repeat last Sundays sermon in other Sunday schools. -.....
 Eddie's Ten Rules of Life follow:
 Safeguard your honor don't drink alcoholic drinks; don't overeat; be a
 good loser; smile; keep good hours;
 have courage to do right; don't think you know it all; be prompt; think clean thoughts.
 In speaking of the first rule, Eddie said that Connie Mack always applied the honor system in the department | of his players and he procured results,
 as he left it up to the player to de 1 his share. Eddie also told about Con ] nie Macks views on the liquor quss- 1 tion and how he applied it to his players. Muggsy McGraw was cited as fit ting example of q good loser. Don't ! crab or offer excuses. explained Eddie l and always give the winner full
 credit Ty Cobb was introduced as a
 man who doesn't think he knows , it all" Collins said that Cobb was and is always willing to learn, and despite the fact that he leads in prac- | tically all the departments of baseball
 he is anxious at all times to learn 1 something new.
 Today Eddie was the recipient of
 many more congratulatory messages, 1 but denied that he was envious of Billy Sunday. Eddie, however admit
 ted that if his talk to the boys did l any good he would not be averse ts delivering another sermonette.

CROSS IN BAD SHAPE.
East Side Dentist May Have to Call
 Off Griffith Bout.

Cincinnati, Feb. 23.-Leach Cross, the veteran New York lightweight, who was knocked out in five rounds by Milburn Saylor here Monday night, was in poor shape yesterday. Cross may have to call off his bout With Johnny Griffiths scheduled for the 18th, in Columbus as Saylor gave the New Yorker a terrific trauncing.
 Sam Wallach, Cross brotherman- ager was out with the expected alibi yesterday but he detracted nothing from Saylor's victory. Wallach as- serted that Cross made the mistake of undertaking Saylor, who was re- ported to have gone back a lot. Had he thought Saylor was in his old form, he would never have riSked a bout with him after his long lay off. Cross expected the Saylor tilt to put him
 It was a severe blow for Cross when his brother threw the sponge in the ring in token of a knockout, for, in his ten years experience in the professional ring, he had been stopped only thrice before. Frankie Madden and Jack Doyle knocked Cross out in his first year in the ring and Fighting Dick Hyland stop
 ped him in forty-One rounds at Colma. The bout with Doyle in 1906 lasted two rounds, and that with Madden in the same year went only one round

TOLD ON G. WIS BIRTHDAY
Local Young Lady Once Famed for Her Terpsichorean Ability Now Performs .Feats of Strength.

| If the story that is going the rounds l of the city is true, then within our
 midst resides a young lady :ho would
 make a worthy opponent for Ihe ! Masked Marvel' or other members o- l the sporting game known as WreSt- | ling. A recent achievement by thus w k young lady bears out the tact that she is possessed of some strength, and as she is the authority TOT the story it is accepted as the truth. While on her way home Monday
 evening shortly after 1 o'clock on a
 street in the western part Of the
 city known for it's eXclusiVeness the
 young woman came upon the form
 of fellow lying in a drive way who
 appeared to be i'll or dead. Closer
 examination of the form disclosed that he was dead alright, but not to the extent of leaving this mundane sphere permanently. It was bitter cold the young lady stated, and on looking around for policeman and not being able to locate one (remem- Der it was after 1 o'clock so this is not surprising) the heroine took It upon herself to be of what assistance she could (she's believer in first aid to the injured.) Picking the dead man up she secured full nelson and arm hold, then modestly she carted off the fellow and his load to his home where his ''wifey' was waiting for him on the rear Veranda.
 "Gussie" demonstrated the manner in which she accomplished the task to a newspaperman yesterday after noon, and after listening to the tale for some time, the scribe left con- Vinced that she was capable of doing it alright. The achievement however is a mere incident in "Gussie's' es- timation, but what she would like to determine is, "Where can you locate a policeman after 10 o'clock at night?''

"Thc Great What Is It.1

Dear Sir: In the sporting colmmn you produce figures showing the bat ting slump on the part of 300 hitters In the American and National leagues and ask why it is. I accept your in- VitatiOn
 You ask if the pitching now is any better than that served up by MatheWson, Walsh, Brown, Waddell Johnson, Bender and others will answer that question by saying that the pitching is not any better, but that there is far more of it. With the possible exception of Bender, who had Plank and Waddell or Plank and Coombs to help him, the other stars named bore practically the brunt of the work. Today there is hardly a club that hasn't more than one star pitcher.
 Take Cobb's drop from APO in 1911 to .369 in 1915. A few years ago when Cobb went up against the Red Sov Wood was the star pitcher on that club. There are now at least five great Red Sox pitchers to face. The wonder is that Ty didn't lose more
 When Anson, Delehanty, Brouthers, Thompson, Kelly. Wagner, Keeler and others were doing their great batting will you kindly show me any club that had five great pitchers such as Wood, Shore. Leonard. Foster and Ruth? Star pitchers of the past were as good as star pitchers of the pres ent, but the difference is this--there are now at least three great pitchers to every one the old clubs used to have. Which is the answer. H. A. WALLACE.

 One man who can have his job without any contest on our part IS Bill Donovan.
 Bill is taking well over $25O,oOO worth of talent South. He has forty or forty-two candidates. Twenty-tWo of these are recruits who cost around S9,000.
 In the space of four feeting weeks he must separate the wheat from the cnaff, the sheep from the goats the gold from the joss, the real stu1r from the bush.
 And in rendering his judgment ne has before him the cases of Detroit, who let Jim Archer go; of Cleveland who canned Jake Daubert; or Cln- cinnati, who traded MatheWson; or T.
