BY LEW TENDLER

Philadelphia, April 4-Lew Tend

lightweight championship stakes, adj
ministered a severe beating to Irish
Patsy Cline of Harlem. last night at
the National A. A. in this city. In the
presence of a crowd that damned the
club Tender outboxed, outgeneraIled
and outpunched his opponent in every
one Of the six rounds of a sensational
bout.
Cline was shy as to distance in the
opening round and missed time and
again, while Tender peppered the
Harlemite with jaIbs to the face that
brought the blood
In the third Tender had Cline
against the ropes and was punching
him hard when the New Yorker
clinched. Cline was holding and the
referee pulled the boys apart repeat
edly.
| In the fourth Tender brought the
blood to Cline's ear with a heavy left.
Tender then uppercut and brought
more blood to Cline's nose. Tender
uppercut with his left in the fifth
and had Cline in distress at the bell.
Cline found the going so hard in the
sixth that he got a body hold and re-
sisted the efforts of the referee to
separate the boxers.
The boxers each scaled below 1876,
/ Tender scaling less than 100.

HOLKE'S BLOW
AIDS GIANTS

San Antonio, Tex, April 4 - A
crashing double down the right foul
line with two on bases in the fifth
inning by Walter Holke enabled the
Giants to beat the Bronchos here yes
terday afternoon by the score of to
l. The minor league delegation
played brilliantly in the field, and ex-
celled the National League cham
pions in this respect
McGraw's athletes are not hitting
any too well and the little manager is
likely to make shift in his batting
order at any time. In two of the
three games played here against the
Bronchos, the home players outbatted
their big brothers twice.
WHO'D Bill'' Rariden will probably
do most of the catching for the Giants
on their homeward bound trip, as
Lew McCarty, the Woodworking
catcher, had several of his fingers in
Jured when door slammed on them.
Furthermore, McCarty's shoulder, the
one he injured in the worlds series
against the White Sox, is giving him
trouble every now and then in throw
ing to second base. 1t is hardly likely
that Lew will be in the well known
pink when the bell rings for the big
show.

FIsTIC HISTORY

Seventeen years ago today, April A.
1901, Bobby Dobbs and Young Peter
jackson fought a twelve-round draw
in Hot Springs, Ark. To the younger
fight fans this statistic means moth
ing, but to the veterans it will recall
memories of two of the classiest,
scrappiest negroes that ever wore
gloves, and of the good old times
when Hot Springs was famed
throughout the world as the rowr
without a lid.
1t is interesting to recall that al
the time of the Hot Springs bout Bob
by Dobbs was forty-two years old, and
he was able to make a good showing
when he was past fifty. Bobby fought
the game and clever Young Peter
Jackson twice in 1901, and both times
he earned a draw. Later in the veal
he tackel Joe Cans in Baltimore, ant
was knocked out in the seventh
round. During his ring career Dobb:
fought nearly all the best men in the
lightweight and welterweight divi
sions, including Joe Walcott and Kid
Lavigne. He was born in Knoxville
Tenn, in 1859, and probably had g
longer ring CdISOE lAdA oly, OLACl

After he got too old to mix with
American fighters, he went over tc
England, and for number Of years
continued to bang out living with
his fists, and when he was past the
half century mark was able to whiI
many fairly good boxers.
Young Peter Jackson was another
great colored fighter, and in his prime
he could master nearly all the light
weights and welterweights, with the
exception of Joe Walcott, who was
usually able to take Young Peters
measure. Later he became a mid
dleweight, and in 1905 he fought Jack
Johnson to a draw in twelve rounds
Dobbs was by no means the only box
er of the old days who was able tc
put up a good scrap after passing
two-score years. Bob Fitzsimmons
was past that age when he fought
! Jeffries for the second time. Old Jen
Mace was champion of the world
when he was forty and Mike Dono-
van, the former middleweight cham
pion, could lick the best of them wher

JACK MUNROES LAST RING
RATTLE

Jack Munroe made his last appear
ance in the ring on April 4, 1905,
when he defeated ALI Allen in eight
rounds at Ottawa, Ont. Munroe was
born in Chester, Pa, and had an ad-
venturous career in the West as a
miner, cowboy, prospector and foot
ball player before he was seized with
the ambition to Wrest the heavy
weight title from Jeffries. He had
fought several bouts in San Francisco
prior to 1902 when he met Jeff the
first time in Butte. Jeff was then Of
fering to knock out all corners in less
than four rounds but Munroe stayed
the limit. This performance doomed
his pugilistic stock, and he went east
and knocked out Peter Maher and
bested Tom Sharkey. He then chal-
lenged Jeffries to regular battle
and they fought in San Francisco in
1904, Jeff knocking him out in the
second round. Jack continued fighting
until 1906, when he again became
miner, and made a fortune in Canada
At the outbreak of the war he enlist
ed in the Princess Pats. He was re-
ported killed several times, but, al
though terribly wounded, he escaped
with the loss of one arm

FANS NOT so SIMPLE
AS SANBORN THINKS

Baseball fans are very easy to fool,
according to Irving E. Sanborn, who
has been writing major league base
ball upwards of 15 years. That is a
little bit hard to accept. 1t may be
true that Mr.. sanborn is right in his
contention as to some cities, but it is
little bit too strong to say that about
the baseball family as whole. In all
sports considerable is lost to the view
Of the mere looker-on.
In football, crowds absorb but
mighty little of what comes on the
field before their eyes. In track the
bulk of the spectators are rubber
necks only. At great tennis and golf
matches the majority of the spectators
are likely to miss many of the fine
points they are actually on top of the
bench in fact, unless some wizard
tips them off. Some of the old BOYS
at trotting meets see things that the
vast majority loses. Crowds at boxing
bouts often lose the inside stuff. The
same is true of any. branch of sport.
including baseball, but it is pretty
inside stuff is over the heads of 80
per cent. Of the fans.
That may be true at best, for one
or two cities but hardly for fandom
in general. In baseball a whole lot
of fine stuff escapes general attention.
yet the amount of fine stuff skipped is
probably less than in any other
branch of sport and baseball is not
the most open of all. Furthermore.
the fan who can follow baseball in
diligently does not need a week to
find out what the point sought is at
any sport new to him, and this is
said in spite of the fact that Sanborn
makes a good point when he writes:
THE Federal League demonstrated
how fans can be fooled. For two
years the promoters and boosters of
the outlaw circuit called themselves
third major leaguers, and made a lot
of people believe it. Some of them
talked about it so much that they be-
gan to believe it themselves. Players
who looked like world heaters in that
class were touted as major league
stars, and they got away with it until
the consolidation took place Then
the public realized it required more
than a sprinkling of star players to
make a major league. The Federal
Leaguers fooled the fans by keeping
their stars so well distributed that no
one or two teams outclassed the rest
far enough to show up the average
class of the playing talent"

HUCGIN'S MEN
COP ANOTHER

Augusta Ca, April 4-In wild
and weird game here at Warren Park
yesterday the Yankees scalped the
Braves 10 to and ran their victory
string up to three straight.
Stallings was nursing a crouch as
big as the state of Georgia when the
teams left supperless for Columbia,
for besides the defeat he was chag-
rined by Charley Herzog's failure to
come to terms with Percy Haughton.
The Boston president, who is suffer
ing with a cold, remained here last
night. He intends to join the team, in
Columbia today, and it is possible he
and Herzog, who accompanied the
Yanks, may have another powwow
there.
The largest crowd that ever saw a
ball game in Augusta thronged War
rem Park. Nine-tenths of the specta-
tors were Pennsylvania and Okla
homa soldiers quartered at Camp
Hancock, a few miles outside the city.
Major General Muir, commanding the
2Sth Division, and other high officers
from the cantonment were among the
spectators. All proceeds above the
money guaranteed both clubs went to
the Red Cross, and a large sum was
realized.
The Braves spilled errors all over
Dixie in the first two innings and the
Yanks piled up a six run lead. Cana
/ can and Crum both were hit hard
Caldwell let the Braves down with six
hits and two runs in six innings, but
the Braves pounded McGraw off the
peak in the seventh. In that inning
each side scored six runs. The game
took hours and 40 minutes. 1t con
sumed so much time the players hao

four in a row to the Red Sox the
Brooklyns came to life with great
exhibition yesterday and defeated the
American Leaguers by to 1. It was
a contest worthy of mfdseason, and
for the victory Of the Dodgers most
of the credit must go to Burleigh

Grimes allowed the Red Sox only
three hits and pitched alright ball
all the way. In the meantime the
Dodgers were hitting Dutch Leonard

British and French
Boxers Killed in War

Professional athletes in the service
over there" seem to lead charmed
life. They go into the worst messes,
such as that in which Hank Gowdy,
the Boston catcher, figured in some
weeks ago, and they usually come
through unscathed Though practical
ly all of the Britishers boxers are in
the service only five of any account
have thus far been killed. A SINH
lar number of French boxers has
made the great sacrifice. Victor
Breyer, the leading French boxing au-
thority,- has made a list of the Brit
ish and French casualties, which are
as follows:
British-Tom Mccormick, Pete,
Brown, Billy Ladbury, George
Wells and Jerry Delaney.
French-Bernard, Henri Piet, Gas
ton Clement, Robert Loesch and Louis
Lacroix
Mccormick was one of the best
welterweights developed in England.
He defeated such men as Albert Ba-
doud and Johnny Somers and won
the Australian championship. Some
ten years ago Brown was numbered
among the best middleweights in Eu-
rope, while Ladbury was a flyweight
of considerable ability. He fought
for the British title thrice and earn
ed a decision over Charley Ledoux,
the French bantamweight champion.
| Wells was brother of the champion
Bombadier Wells, and Delaney was
a brother of Fred and one of the hard
est hitters seen in England in recent
years. Delaney's home folks have
erected monument to his memory.
! OF the French contingent probably
the best known were Bernard and
Piet. Bernard was a middleweight of
considerable skill, who had decisions
over Badoud, Marcel Moreau and Ad-
rian Hogan. He was the best man of
his class in France when he was kill
ed in an aeroplane accident at the
front Piet was lightweight, who
was seen in action on this side In
1909 and 1910 he fought dozen
bouts in New York, Philadelphia and
New Orleans against such men as
Wolgast, Kid Burns anad Benny Yam
ger. Wolgast knocked him out in
two rounds.
Clement was a former feather
weight champion of France, Loesch
was d P1OllI4SAIl5 yOullS 1SAIW0lSHI,
and LaCroiX was the French welter-
weight title holder. One of La
croix's last fights resulted in a
knockout by Georges Carpenter in
nine rounds He made Lenaerts, the
Belgian, quit in eight rounds, and
just now Lenaerts is said to be one
of the best heavyweights in Eu-
rope.
With the exception of Lacroix all
the French champions are alive, and
in the service. They are Carpenter
heavyweight; Hogan, mid6iewe;sht;
Papin, lightweight; De Ponthieu
featherweight, and Ledoux, bantam
weight.
