DUNDEE IS KNOCKED OUT.
Willie Jackson of the Bronx Lands
 Big WallOp in First Round

Philadelphia, Jan. 16-Another New York product came into the front ranks in lightweight circles last night when Willie Jackson ap- piled the knockout wallop to Johnny Dundee in one of the most sensation al and surprising windups ever staged at the Olympia A. A. It took Jack son just two minutes and thirty five seconds to send Dundee into the land of nod.
 Here is how it happened: Jackson was in the center of the ring. and after sending in two ,stinging lefts to the nose, was greeted by a right to the heart and . terrific left to the stomach The latter blow sent Jack son crashing against the ropes. Dun- dee kept coming in. head down. but instead of rushing into Jackson he hit the ropes and as he came back Jack son, already out in the open, caught him unaware with right cross to the jaw and Dundee wilted to the canvass.
 He did not make any effort to rise when Referee O'Brien reached the seventh count. At eight he stirred just little. At nine he half looked up, and when ten was reached he was in a sitting posture, but the fight was over. -

 'None of our players will be per- mitted to go South." said President Johnson, until they have first signed their contracts
 In regard to the many secret con- ferences which are reported to have been scheduled by the players, the American league head said that few players of the league are members Of the fraternity and he doubted wheth- CT those few would care to spend their money co travel to various parts of the country to participate in the discussions which have been predict ed by the head of the fraternity.
 While the major league club own CTS argue that the major league play CTS have no grievance in the present strife and that 1t is purely a minor league affair, President Fultz point cd out yesterday that conditions In the minors were of much importance to the major league players, because the big leaguers are going back to the minors every season. No player can tell how long he will remain in the major league, and knowing that some day he will be a player in the minor leagues, he is anxious to improve conditions there as much as possible.
 To Prevent Salary Cut.
 Although President Fultz has denied that the salary cut question has anything to do with the present controversy. 1t was stated on good authority yesterday that the major leaguers have taken their present stand to prevent the cut in salaries which has been threatened by many of the clubs. It is the plan of many of the clubs to cut salaries this sea- son as much as possible. During the Federal league war, salaries were boosted in all clubs and the frater- nity by asserting it's strength and power of this time. hopes to offset any movement the club owners might make in reducing salaries.

CHAMP kILBANE TO
 TACKLE DRuMMlE
FeatherWeight Title Holder Will
 Have to Step to Save Grown

Never before in the history of Con- necticut has there ever been presented to the sporting element such 8 strong boxing exhibition as that scheduled to take place at Waterbury, January Is, under the auspices of the Waterbury Independent Athletic club, and Match maker Mulligan, who has always been noted for pulling off something out Of the ordinary, Is to be complimented in securing such a star as Johnnie Kill bane, the featherweight champion of the world, who will meet Johnnie Drummie of Waterbury, a former resident of Jersey City in the main attraction which will be for 12 rounds. Kilbane arrived in Waterbury Thursday afternoon and is training at 1 the Brooklyn Athletic club, where he is attracting large crowds who take special delight in watching him box 1 with Johnnie Downes, his sparring partner. Johnnie Drummie is also at Waterbury training at the ArmOut Athletic club. A worthier opponent could not have been selected to meet kllbane as Drummie is one of the fastest featherweights and the leading contender for the title in the East to- day. and is booked to relieve Freddie Welsh of the lightweight champion ship of the world. Among the others whom he has fought good draws with are Irish Patsy Cline, three times; Harry Donahue, of Peoria, H.; Willie Jones; Banty Lewis; Frankie Calla- han; Frankie Conifrey; Harry Thomas: Joe Solberg; Bohemia Kid: Johnnie Daley: Leo Johnson: Mel Coogan: Young McAuliff of Bridge port; Chick Brown of New Haven: Young Rector of New York and numerous other leading feather weights known throughout the coun- try.
 The semi-star bout will bring to- gether Harry Ross, the hard hitting middleweight of Bridgeport and Dave Kurtz the hard hitting Irishman from Newark, N. J., who is a big favorite throughout New York and New Jer- sey. They will battle for 12 rounds at 15s pounds and this should prove one of the toughest fights ever staged in New England. Another bout that is attracting statewide attention is the opening bout between Sammy Waltz,

MACK HAS THREE HODDOUTS.
Bush, Schang, and Strunk Refuse to
 Accept Salary Reductions.

Philadelphia, Jan. 16.-Three star members of the Athletics. players who wore Mack livery in the days when Connie was at the helm of a title-holding aggregation, have failed to sign contracts for 1917 because their salaries were reduced. They are: Joseph Leslie Bush, the no-hit pitcher; Wally Schang, catcher and Amos Strunk, outfielder.
 It is said these men have told friends they would refuse to sign con- tracts unless the documents provided salaries received last year. They have banded together with an agree ment to this effect. it is said
 When Connie Mack was asked this afternoon whether he believed the three stars would quit the team, he replied: T do not want to get in- volved in controversy with players over an issue of this kind, and am not worrying. Contracts stipulating salaries have been sent to all the players, and if they do not return them signed, what else can we do?"

The Triple Debate.

Now that the Golf Association has definitely launched its plans for amateurism, the next conflict upon the field will be in tennis. Here just at present the tangle Is a triple-coated one.
 First, there are the Eastern conser- vatives, who believe in strict en- forcement of the rule after 1917 re- garding those who sell tennis goods.
 Next there follow the Western radi- calls. who are against the adoption of any such rule.
 Ir between is the movement led by Norris Williams to have such a rule passed, but not to have it affect those already engaged in tennis trade.
 The case for those who believe in a strict interpretation of tennis anna teurism, to apply to all after the pres ent season, was undoubtedly helped by the ruling of the golf body. But those upon the negative side in tennis are much better organized than the golf insurgents were, and they are not likely to make the same mistake of having personalities increase the tangle.
