KLBANE EASY WINNER
OVER WORLDS CHAMP
Batters Freddie Welsh Around Ring
Throughout Battle.

NEW YORK. May 2.-once more
metropolitan fans have witnessed an
unsatisfactory exhibition by Freddie
Welsh, worlds lightweight titlehoIder.
Boos and jeers greeted his poor show
ing against Johnny Kilbane. feather
weight champion. lin their ten-round
bout at the Manhattan A. C. last
night.
Had Welsh cared to please the fans.
he might easily have made a good
bout by swapping hard ones with
his opponent, but he contented him
self with boxing. going into a clinch
whenever the Cleveland boy tried to
put over any hard blows.
Greatly to the surprise of the big
crowd, Welsh was outpointed at his
own game by KiIbane. Save for the
first and fifth rounds, which were
even, the featherweight champion out
boxed Welsh. Only in one department
did Welsh look good. He never let
Kilbane do much with his right, in
variably ducking and letting the blow
go over his head as he fell into a
clinch.
Had Referee Billy Joh been allow
ed to name a winner, Welsh today
would be an eX-champiOn and Kill
bane would be worlds lightweight
champion and American feather
weight champion, which latter title
he won from Abe Attell.
Welsh weighed 139 pounds when
he entered the ring, Kilbane being
nine pounds lighter.

HACKENSACK JUNK MAN
READY FOR REAL Toll
That's Why Old Fox Wears First
Big Grin.

The Jackensack junk dealer de-
livered the goods on his first trial.
Here's what he did:
Defeated the Yanks. to ..
Allowed four scattered hits, one a
double by Pipp.
issued seven free tickets.
Struck out twice. but pounded a
clean single to center in the seventh.
Yesterday was the first time Har-
per had faced a batsman this season.
At Augusta he spent most OF his
time circIing the Acid. accompanied
by the jeers and a few cheers of his
mates. Now and then he warmed up,
but most OF his time was used up in
running after fungos or chasing him
self around the field to take OF
weight gained by attending to his
adorable junk business in Hacken-
sack.
He had a lame arm and underwent
a course of sprouts suggested by an
osteopath and carried out by Mike
Martin. mayor of Cherrydale. Va.
Yes, he had a lame arm. He hasn't
one any more. That's why the Old
Fox is wearing a grin today. for with
Harper ready to pitch good ball,
there's hope for the Griffmen.
Also, and not to be forgotten, Har-
per won his first game from the Yam
KEGS in two seasons. Last year he
faced them four times, twice in New
York and twice here. Each time he
lost, though once he went overtime
before losing to Bob Shawkey, | to o.
Another also, yesterdays victory
was the first Of the 1917 season for
the Griffs over the Yanks, the latter
having copped four in a row SO far

BOXING UP AGAIN
Little Chance Of Game Dying In
New York, However.

ALBANY. May 2.-The Senate
judiciary Committee voted yesterday
to report favorably the Slater bill
designed to repeal the Frawley law
regulating public boxing contests.
The vote was to 3.
When the committees report was
presented the advancement Of the bill
to the order OF final passage was
blocked by the objections of several
Senators. and following the usual
course it was referred to the COM
mittee of the whole.
Under ordinary circumstances such
procedure during the final weeks of
the Legislature means the death of a
bill, but an attempt will be made to
advance the Slater bill under a special
rule to be adopted later There is
little lik likelihood OF its passage.

until May - to decrease their rosters
to twenty-five players for American
League teams and twenty-five in the
National, il said that several will
be down to legal limits before that
date and several others, almost
majority. will go even lower. 1t is
figured that about 5000, 900 in salaries
and expenses can be saved by this
savage retrenching
One tip is that eighteen players
will be carried in both major leagues

Those dropped will go to the Ameri-

BAN JOHNSON HERE;
TO VISIT CONGRESS
Fails to Take Minor or Grif-
fifth Into Confidence.
WOULD RETAIN BASEBALL
Donovan Will Protest Umpire d.
mems Decision Here.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.


Byron Bancroft johnson. lord of all
he surveys in the American League
is in town.
He blew in this morning, registered
at his hotel, and sought the covers.
After a while he decided to rush
around town on business, and did.
Then he led everybody merry chase.
President johnson came from New
York, where he conferred iwth John
h. Tener, president of the National
League, regarding the suggested tax
on baseball. He is in Washington to
confer with members OF Congress on
this same subject. incidentally, he
may look into baseball conditions in
the Capital.
Would Keep PastIme.
President johnson has no complaint
to make against any plans of Con-
Cress which call for support by or
ganized baseball of the war against
Germany. On the other hand, he
stands ready to do all he possibly can
toward this end. But he believes that
the proposed 10 per cent tax on base
ball receipts will bring about the
death of the national game.
Just how long the boss OF the
league will remain here cannot be
said with much certainty. He may
finish sll his business in one day, or
he may require three or four. At any
rate. he will remain until it is fin
ished, for that's his style.
At noon he had not conferred with
either President Benjamin S. Minor
or Manager Clark c. Griffith, of the
Washington club. His business is
more for the benefit of the national
game as a whole than for that of the
Washington club.
Bill Donovan Protests.
Bill Donovan, manager of the Yam
KEGS, says he will enter Q protest
against a decision made by Umpire Di-
neen in the first inning of yesterdays
game He says that under section Is
Of rule Sc, which defines when base
runners are out, both Foster and
Milan should have been retired, not
merely Foster. as Dineen ruled.
Here's the paragraph in question:
IF he Crunner) pass a preceding
base runner before such runner has
been legally put out. he shall be de-
clared out Immediately.
Donovan maintains that when Fos-
ter passed third base and proceeded
along the chalk line. Milan was auto
matically out, and Foster was tagged
by Nunamaker, making two down.
President johnson today said that
he would make no comment until the
matter came before him officially.
Few Protests Granted.
Few protests are granted in the
American League. President Johnson's
policy is TO uphold the ju lgment of his
arbitrators in all instances. The
Washington club has lost out on sew
eral protests because of this habit,
and, therefore, Donovan is doomed to
failure.
Protests based on interpretations
of recognized rules may be upheld by
the American League czar. but he
leans heavily on the report of his UNI
pires in every case, and will hardly
grant Donovan's wish.
Dick Burning, once with the Mack
men, has been released by the Brook
lyn Dodgers to Montreal, not that he
was not making good, but because
Manager Robinson is overloaded with
veteran twirlers.

ball simply won't stand for it. You
have to be on the level, IL you're
playing under the Jurisdiction of
Messrs. HERMANN, Johnson. and
Tener.
Sweet William Donovan may pro-
test yesterdays game at Georgia ave-
nue., but protests in this league sell
dom come to much. Ban Johnson's
policy is always to uphold his um-
pires when IL comes to a question of
judgment. Umpire Dineen's Judgment
yesterday was that Foster was out
and Milan was safe. That's all that
Ban Johnson will consider. However,
protests add to the gayety of nations.
