Dundee Outpoints
Willing Welling
In Fast Battle

Johnny Dundee, the famous Scotch
Wop owned by Scotty Montieth,
earned the honors in his ten-round bout
with Joe yelling, of Chicago, at the
st. Nicholas Rink last night.
The battle between the lightweights
was one of the fastest fought in this
city in months, measuring well up TO
the Leonard Welsh championship bout
in this respect.
In the first two rounds yelling
looked particularly good, mailing Dur
dee with a beautiful right as Johnny
kept plunging in. These punches OF
Joe's carried heft that shook Dundee
up when they landed flush on his jaw.
AT the start of the third, however,
Dundee changed his tactics and began
jumping in the style he made famous,
and yelling found it increasingly diiii-
cult TO hit the mark. 1t was like try
ing to hit the periscope Of submarine
with a six-pounder in a choppy sea.
In the fourth round Dundee Jared
yelling with several hard lefts to the
body, pounding the stomach and ribs
relentlessy. yelling was missing
many blows in this and the following
rounds.
The sixth saw some desperate mill
ing, with the boys standing breast to
breast and slugging until the bell. 1t
was an even break.
yelling came back strongly in the
seventh, whipping over that fast right
to the jaw several times, and one OF
these shook Dundee to his heels.
Both were tired in the eighth, which
was even, but in the ninth Johnny
started a FURIOUS attack and carried. the
fighting to Joe, shooting stiff left Jabs
to the jaw and pounding the body.
The tenth was an even thing, with a
wild furry of fighting. To total up the
damage done, Dundee had four rounds,
yelling two, the second and seventh,
and four were even. Dundee scaled
90 nnd Wnllirc. 125 hnih In cnstnme.

Old Jinx Alibi
Now Barredby
Bill Donovan
Lack of Aggressiveness by
Team Arouses Ire OF
Yankee Manager
By W. O. MGEEHAN

The Yankees and the Cleveland
Indians were barred from the Polo
Grounds yesterday by the excess Of
moisture.
Wild William Donovan spent most OF
tho. afternoon in wrathful meditation.
His ire was reused by the lack Of ag-
gressiveness shown by the Yanks on
the preyious day. The alibi is that
Lambeth is a jinx and that he holds
the Indian sign on the team that IS
Jointly owned by Captain Huston and
Colonel Rupert. But the alibi, while
it runs for Sweeney, does not run Tor
Wild William Donovan. William Is
one of those iconoclastic persons VINO
believe that even a Nemesis or Jinx
can be kicked in the Stats.
"a team cannot win ball games by
bunting the ball down the alleys Mr..
Donovan observed sagely. This team
has got to do some hitting Or
Mr.. Donovan relapsed into an oml-
nous silence. lie would not say just ex-
actly what would be forthcoming II the
hits did not materialize. But 1t was
evident from his manner that there
was something rough in store Tor any
shirkers, or persons suspected OF sh'NK-
ing, on the Yankee team.
The comeback of Lee Magee in re-
gard to his hitting is one of the most
hopeful signs in the Yankee camp Just
now. Magee, after a terrible slump at
the bat, is beginning to peg them out
once more and has been making far
" successful lead-off man for the New
York Americans since the injury to
Turk Gilhooley.
The benefit baseball game for the
lst New York Engineers, which was
scheduled for next Sunday, has been
postponed until Sunday, June Il. The
st. Louis and Yankee teams Will me0
in a regular league game on that date:
The game will be preceded by sacred
concert.
The entire proceeds will be turned
over TO the 1st Regiment of New York
Engineers. who are to leave shortly for
France. The benefit will be supervised
by W. II. Wiley, treasurer Of the Mill
tary Committee of the United En-
gineers Society of New York. The
benefit was proposed by Captain T. l..
Huston. United States Engineers,
part owner Of the Yankees. The money
received will be used in establishing a
mess fund for the New York Engineers.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY
no MAKE IMPROVEMENTS

The Standard Oil Co. is soon to
have one of their delightful service
stations in Audubon and will be a
reproduction of similar stations in
other towns in the state. The COM
pany through their attorney, S. C.
Kerberg has leased the residence
property occupied by j. c. Boyer, one
block south of the Park Hotel, for
a period of five years. The house
will be sold and removed from the
lot as soon as Mr.. Boyer secures
another place to live. The lot will
be filled in and on it will be erected
a modern brick building with all con-
veniences necessary to handle the
business and give satisfactory serv-
ice to the public. The Standard Oil
Co. has many of these service sta
lions in operation and they are built
along lines that add beauty to the
neighborhood in which they are To-
Gated. A landscape gardner is en-
ployed to lay out the plans and when
carried out the finished building and
its surroundings are indeed attrac-
tive with it's vines, potted plants and
neatly arranged flower beds.
The work will begin as soon as
possible and the building erected be-
fore winter. The company will sell
all of it's oil and gasoline at whole
sale prices when purchased in guam
Titles of five gallons or more. The
local representative of the company
at the present time is Dwight Wick
ham.

TO THE WAGE FARMERS

The great European war in which
We are now involved came to the
people of the western hemisphere as
a terrible shock, and to no portion
of the people did it come as great
er shock than to the wage-earners of
the United States. They believed in
and wanted international peace, but
they wanted 1t on a basis of inter-
national justice which would insure
the right of our people to govern
themselves. When the imperial
German government undertook to
destroy the lives of our people and
to impose a rule of conduct upon us
without our consent in places under
the Jurisdiction of the United States
Government there was no course left
but to resist.
The workers have more at stake
in this great conflict than any others,
because it is only in democracy
that the common people can come in
to their own. The great privilege
is not given to all of us to serve our
country on the battle field or in the
trenches, but there are other ways
in which we can serve and assist
those who are privileged to carry our
flag on the battle fields of Europe
The impulse of sacrifice for the COM
mon good is sending the youth of
our country into the trenches in de-
Tense of liberty, humanity and de-
mocracy. To those of us who must
of necessity remain at home to till
the soil, harvest the crops, man the
factories, mines and mills, the way is
open for additional service. We, too
must make sacrifices. The men who
go forth to do battle in the field
must be equipped and sustained.
Funds must be forthcoming to fur
nish the food, the fire arms and
other supplies for the fighting forces
of the nation. Finances for that
purpose must be secured immediate
ly from the sale of bonds. The
workers can help By contributing
their mite.-W. b. Wilson, Secretary
of Labor.
