 They took the road south af- ter releasing the bank officials. One of the men was past mid dle age while the other was several years younger.

not in itself remarkable. considering

One OF Thompson's iavorits stunts TO

to array two lines OF marines. chosen

RAISES 4 HOWL
Says Decision Unfair; For
gets That Jack Went to
Rome Voluntarily.

Listen to an eastern account Of poor
Jack Dempsey's treatment. The fol-
lowing comes from an eastern sport
writer Of note:
According to the telegram from
Jack Kearns, manager Of Jack Demp-
sey, Dempsey got a bit the worst OF
it when Eddie Graney gave Willie
Neehan a decision over him in a
four round bout in san Francisco
recently. Kearns says that Dempsey
knocked Meehan down in the sec
ond round and had him nearly out
Even If Graney thought Meehan
had the better Of Dempsey on points
sports here believe that the render
ing a decision against Jack was an
injustice. It is ridiculous to give a
decision in big bout between pro-
fessional puguHsts at the end Of four
rounds.
"a boxer like Dempsey goes and
makes a big reputation knocking out
men like Fred Fulton and comes 10
san Francisco to box four rounds
for charity He faces a man like
the four round game on the coast
And II he doesn't outlook the four
rounder he gets decision against
him which goes into the records as
a regular defeat.
This may be all right in Cali
fornia- 1t doesn't look so good TO
US here"
By the way. Dempsey himself has
his record book almost filled up with
these four round affairs in California
But when he gets trimmed the four
round affairs shouldn't go in a record
book-it is not right then to give
decision. None Of the world loves a
sQuealer.

FIRST BASEBALL SCANDAL.
The allegation that baseball IS
crooked is the favorite- contention Of
certain chronic knockers. and while
the root OF all evil" has undoubtedly
affected baseball, in common with
all other human institution, II may
safely be said that no other trade or
profession is in a position TO throw
stones at the players or magnates OF
the diamond
In spite OF the prevelant honesty Of
the game. there have been scandals
in baseball. and today marks the SD
anniversary Of the first scandal OF
this kind, for It was on September IS.
1865, that the New York Mutuals got
into the baseball hall Of shame On
that day the Mutuals played the Eek
fords. The former club was eonsid-
cred the stronger, but, greatly to the
surprise OF the fans. the Eckfords
won by a score OF % TO Il. There was
great rivalry between the teams. and
large sums we're Wagered. Certain
suspicious circumstances led to an
investigation. and II was found that
three OF the leading players OF the
Mutuals had sold the game to the
gamblers
That incident left a bad taste in
the mouths Of the supporters Of the
game. and when baseball became a
professional institution IL was viewed
with great suspicion by many people
The National association. the parent
baseball league. was almost wrecked
by the gamblers. and when the Ma
uonal league was formed IN 1876 the
promoters decided TO wage constant
warfare on the gambling element In
the Second year OF the leagues exist
ence. however. a scandal developed
which. but for the prompt and dras-
tic action Of the magnates. might have
been the death OF the game.
