Mealey Down But Is
Defeated on Points

Philadelphia, Pa, May 29--Willie
Jackson of New York, came near ad-
to Johnny Mealey of this
city, last night the same course of
ring treatment he prescribed for
Johnny Dundee some months ago at
the same CLUB. He put Mealey down
for a count of nine in the first round
with a left hook on the jaw in the
windup at the Olympia A. A.
The round opened with sharp ex-
changes. Mealey tried a straight left
Jackson stepped into it and crossed
over the left hook to the local boys

saved himself by climbing and wealth
cred the round.
The remaining five rounds sizz1ed
with rapid-fire blows, in which Mea-
ley excelled at long range. He was
able to keep Jackson at arms length.
Each man strove hard for a knockout,
but neither could land a finishing
blow. Mealey won by a good mar
gin of points.

IN Constanunople prevented the Tur-

1sh official who succeeded in getting

The American Embassy at Con-

ambassador was on excellent terms

"The Turks, at the instigation of

most popular European in CONSTANT

Juvenile Delinquent
In England Is Cause
Of Government Alarm

London, May 29.-The absence of
the father and big brother from the
home is one of the chief reasons for
the juvenile delinquency during the
war so apparent in all parts of Eng
land, according to statements made in
Parliament the other day by Lord
Sandwich. statistics from seventeen
large cities,'' said Lord Sandwich"
show an increase of thirty-four per
cent in the number of young offnd-
ers There are a number of causes,
prominent among them being street
takers, the lack of Fairgrounds, NOV
ing picture shows and the general dis
turbance Of home life"
Lord Sandwich made a plea for the
characterization of the Boy Scouts
At present, he said that movement
seemed to cater more for boys of the
middle or better class and not suffi-
GENTLY for the boys about the streets.

EXPECTS
TO DEFEAT YOUNG
M'AULIFFE JUNE 4

Word was received today from the
manager Of K. o. Eggers that the
New Yorg boxer has returned from
Manchester, N. H, where he fought a
draw last week with Joe Morgan.
Eggers is none the worse for his New
Hampshire engagement and has start
ed work for his bout with Young Nc
Auliffe, which will ibe held at the Ca
sino next Monday night under the
auspices of the Union Boating club
The boys are slated to go II rounds
Those who saw McAuliffe and Eggers
in their last battle here. realize that
this encounter is apt to furnish plenty
of excitement McAuliffe has not done
any fighting since he hurt his hand in
his affair with Battling Reddy. He is
all right now and expects to outpoint
Eggers. The stock of Eggers took
quite rise, though, after he f1oored
Frankie Burns in the last local show.
Eggers can surely hit and McAuIiffe
must watch out for the haymaker.
The semi-f1na1 bout will have Young
Otto of New York and Johnny Martin
of Da.nbury in the points. Martin was
seen here in the last show and made
a hit with the fans. Otto has a good
reputation in New York This affair
is scheduled for ten rounds
There will he a six round bout with
Louie Bogash of this city and Young
Mundy Of Danbury as principals. In
the opener, Johnny Shugrue, brother
OF Joe Shaugrue, will mix things with
Harvey Kelly of this city for four
rounds.

Billy Papke Had His
First Big Bout With
Tony Caponi in West

Billy Papke and Tony Caponi
fought a Is round draw at Daven-
port, Ill. This was the first real i'm.
portant battle in which the Illinois
Thunderbolt was a principal Before
that he had met only local boys
around his Illinois home. Caponi was
an Italian middleweight, hailing from
St. Paul and had wide reputation
as a boxer with a. punch backed up
with much knowledge OF how to use
it. The Iowa fans at the ring side
never figured that Papke had a
chance, for Caponi was an experience
ed fighter and had several pounds adj
vantage in weight
Their encounter was a ferocious,
slugging affair, and at the finish
there was little or nothing to choose
between them, although Papke was
deserving of whatever shade there was
A little later Papke and Caponi
fought another draw but by the close
of the year Papke had gone ahead SO
! far that when he met Caponi for the
third time in Peoria on November
IA, he put the st. Paul man to SLEEP
: in the End round.

RAINY WEATHER
CAUSES WORRY IN
BIG LEAGUE RANKS

New York, May 28-Au the sched-
led games in the National and Ameri-
can leagues were called off yesterday
on account of rain. The weather this
spring has been the worst the baseball
people have commended with in tho
history of the game, and although tbs
season is less than two months ola,
the three New York clubs have been
forced to postpone more than one
fourth of their scheduled contests.
The Giants. Yankees and Brooklyns
have each had Al playing days since
the season started and the Giants have
IL postponements. the Brooklyns 8,
and the Yankees 10. The situation
has become quite alarming for the
club owners and thousands of dollars
have already been lost at the gates.
There is no chance of the clubs
making up for a third of what they
have lost by the double-heaIders which
will follow later in the season.
The great stack of double-headers,
which have been piling up is causcing
no end of worry to the club managers,
because it means that, beginning next
month, their pitching stats are sure
to be overworked. With the player
iAii1AI e1I ~ LII LAlO ANdllOIldl 10dSuS, Ill6
managers have no chance to carry
any extra pitchers to help shoulder
the burden of the extra games. In
case of an injury or sore arm, the
clubs are not even permitted to sub-
stitute an extra finger, as they were
last season. With the cold, wet
weather, many of the pitchers have
failed to show their best form and the
baseball situation is really more seri-
Gus than the managers wish to admit.
The postponement Of the first dou-
ble-header yesterday between the
Giants and the PhilliesN in one of the
most important series of the season
will mean a heavy tax on the pitching
staffs in the remaining games The
clubs will play a double-header today,
weather permitting. the first game
! beginning at 1:45. This means that
the teams will have to play four games
| in two days, as they are scheduled to
| play in the morning and afternoon to-
morrow, Memorial Day.
tt may become necessary for the
league to devise a new system for
| playing double-headers, for, under the
plan followed in the past, there is GO
| ing to be an over-production of bar
gain day bills during the hot month
| of July, that is, If July is going to be
hot this year.

LEONARD, new CHAMPION, SAYS
HE WILL ENLIST NEXT WEEK
Cleveland Promoter Offers $4,000 for Leonard
Kilbane Bout on July 4.

out" said Pollok.
In justice to Mcfarland it must
be said that he did the only thing
possibly. Welsh was beaten hopeless
ly. There was not a chance in the
world for the great Welshman to re-
cover.
The round was only a minute and
fifteen seconds old when the cham
pion's end came. His head was in
whirl and he could not defend him
self. Leonard was just setting him
self for the punch that would have
stretched Welsh out on the floor. Nc
Partland was we'll aware of Welsh's
helpless condition and he had the
courage to end the champions reign
by stopping the fight then and there.
Leonard remained in his corner
after tho dramatic ending of Welsh's
long career. He did not seem to
realize that he had really beaten down
the wonder Welshman, a thing that
the best ightweights in the world
have been trying to do for years.
His frenzied admirers almost yank-
ed his arms from his body in their en-
thusiasm. Eddie Leonard, the actor,
clabored over the heads of the mob
waving a $1,000 check made out to
Leonard. He was, perhaps. the big
gest winner on the knockout
He wrote that check out in the
fourth round. That was a desperate
period for Welsh and some thought it
was the beginning of the end, even
when Welsh attempted to mix and. a
hard right handler landed flush on his
| jaw. Welsh staggered about the ring,
but when he seemed on the point of
going down he braced and blocked as
| he always did until the bell came to
| his rescue.
The end came at time when Welsh
| seemed to have Leonard entirely baf-
| fed. The longer the fight progressed
| the less chance there seemed to be
for Leonard to land finishing blow
| The faithful had grown so used to
seeing Welsh skim through 10 rounds
without being even staggered that a
| sudden ending was the last thing in
the world they expected, especially as
Welsh was blocking in masterful
| style.
| He found a way to check Leonard's
new 1eft-hand body blow and was
actually doing the leading.
| Leonard looked fresh and strong at
the beginning of the ninth round. It
Is fact that the blow that started
Welsh to fistic doom was in the ma
ture of a fuke. In ducking the right
| handler that started him going, he
failed to get his head entirely out OF
the way. Instead of escap ping it en-
tire1y the blow landed full on the top
of his head. The blow seemed to
| paralyze his whole body.

YANKS TWIRLERS
WOULD DO BETTER
IF WORKED MORE

New York, May 29-The Yankees
have given an excellent account of
themselves, and, deserving of big
welcome, will be home this week and
will start series which Will give the
East it's first look at the Western
teams of the American league. The
record in the West is eight games
won and six lost, an encouraging per-
Torrance, but not of the pennant as
pect of the Red Sox or White Sox
work against sectional rivals. The
Yankees have won twelve and lost
eight since they left home, and by the
time they return will have been to
every city except Boston and Phtladel-
phia twice. The Detroits, the first of
the Westerners to appear, will be here
on Thursday.
Urban Shocker pitches at such long
intervals for the Yanks that it is
small wonder he had a disastrous inn
ing in Cleveland. Shocker has been
unsteady and wild in all his games,
but is a pitcher well equipped with
stuff and has nerve. He has
shown that he is made Of right met
tie, and the question intrudes itself,
would he not be steadier and Of great
er value if he had the work which
comes with pitching oftener.
It must be no small problem, how
ever, to handle for the best results
the pitchers Donovan has. His regu-
lars presumably are Caldwell, Shaw
key, Mogridge, Cullop and Shocker
Russell has been used on special occa-
sions and Fisher has made but two
starts In both Of those he did well
but has been called on too inffequent-
ly to be classed as a regular.
Caldwell has started eight games
Shawkey six, Mogridge five, Shockel
four, Russell four, Cullop three ano
Fisher two Cu11op doubtless will be
! used more as the weather improves
With his whole staff fit, the rotation
method, so far as it is advisable, prob
ably will result in Donovan's getting
better work out of his pitchers. Tha'
being the case and with an outfiele
composed of High Hendryx and Gil
hooley the Yankees ought to exceed
ingly well.
